Zeus vs Summer~ NFL Picks Round 2 ~ Week 12
4 years ago
Another terrible week. And I'm putting in picks early because of a really busy week ahead. Let's get going!
To recap, here are the rules.
1. Summer and I will pick 3 NFL games based on the current spread. The favored team (represented by a negative sign) HAS to win by more than the listed number for anything to count. So if the spread is (-3), and the favored team wins by a field goal, that is a push. Neither side wins, and that is a loss on our ends.
2. We battle on a week to week basis. If we have the same outcome, that week is a push an no one gets a point. The winner of this challenge will get to choose what sort of kinky art they want involving the losing party.
With that said, let's not waste anymore time and jump into picking!

Ties: 5
PICK 1
~Miami Dolphins cover home underdogs against the Carolina Panthers (+2.0)
Well well well, time to have a bit of faith in my team again. They are rolling and should get another squeaker. My biggest concern is stopping both Newton and their star RB from running all over the place. But if they do, the offense has to be servicable to win this game.
RESULT: Phins 33 Panthers 10 (CORRECT)
This feeling of winning in such a convincing manner... man does it feel good! I don't think playoffs are in reach, so I will enjoy each victory I can this season. Very good shot to finish about .500 now.
PICK 2
~Atlanta Falcons cover as road favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars (-2.5)
The Jaguars are a mess and the Falcons have had extra time to heal up to take the pain to the Jaguars. They can certainly find a way to win by 3, right? Come on now!
RESULT: Falcons 21 Jaguars 14 (CORRECT!)
It's great to figure out when a team has quit on the season. This Jaguars team is beyond pathetic. A crying shame my Phins lost to them the way they did.
PICK 3
~Minnesota Vikings cover as road underdogs to the San Francisco 49ers (+3.0)
I am a believer in the Vikings this week! This is their moment to shine on the road against a questionable 49ers team. Might be tricky picking two underdogs this week, but certainly, when teams get hot, they get hot. I just don't believe in the 49ers despite two impressive wins lately.
RESULT: 49ers 34 Vikings 26 (WRONG)
A tightly contested game, but the home team just found a way to secure a better footing for the playoffs. All those close losses from before this week are going to haunt an otherwise talented Vikings team the rest of the year.
OVERALL RESULT: 2-1 (VICTORY!)
My slump is over! With 6 weeks left to go, who knows how things will shake up? I need to get this lead back up to 2 next week to really push for a victory for the season. Let's gooooooo!
Taking a break from the usual picks for the sake of time. Got a holiday to get to!
