Prof. Summer vs Zeus! ~ NFL Pick Em Showdown ~ Week 12
5 years ago
All momentum from the previous week has been lost. Got to make safer picks this week, so here goes!
CURRENT SCORE
Summer: 3
Zeus: 2
PICK 1
~New York Giants over the Cincinnati Bengals as road favorites (-6.0)
I am becoming more of a believer in the Giants. With Joe Burrow going down, what morale of this season do the Bungles have left, really? This should be over by the 4th quarter in my opinion.
RESULT: Giants 19 Bengals 17 (LOSS)
The Bungles decided to kick my chance at tying up the season series with an untimely kickoff return for a TD. Absolutely tired of picking games between two bad teams.
PICK 2
~Las Vegas Raiders over the Atlanta Falcons as road favorites (-3.0)
The Raiders want a bounce back game this week, and there's no better team to bully than the woeful Fail-cons. They need this game to stay in the wild card race. Every game matters at this point.
RESULT: Falcons 43 Raiders 6 (LOSS)
And here we are. A game result that literally NO one saw coming. I don't think the Raiders are frauds yet, but they should be counting their blessings that the Jets are next.
PICK 3
~Buffalo Bills cover as home favorites over the Los Angeles Chargers (-4.5)
This is purely a revenge pick for my picking my Phins last week to win. I win either way, but I believe the Bills will want to erase the taste of the Hail Murray out of their mouths this week. And if they lose? Great for Miami!
RESULT: Bills 27 Chargers 17 (WIN)
Annnnnnnd, I manage to avoid going 0-3 by the skin of my teeth. The last time I'll be on a Buffalo game for a while. They're rather mediocre at maintaining leads, I've noticed.
OVERALL RESULT: 1-2
At least Summer's been consistent. I feel like her streak is going to end, and I'll have to do better on my picks to stay in the race.
Unofficial gut reaction picks below. NO SPREAD CONSIDERED! (Current Record 80-40). Bolded picks are ones that came true. Italicized is wrong picks.
Phins over Jets (PONE'S LOCK OF THE WEEK)
Browns over Jags
Colts over Titans (PONE'S BEST GAME OF THE WEEK)
Panthers over Vikings
Cardinals over Patriots
Saints over Broncos
Rams over 49ners
Bucs over Chiefs (PONE'S UPSET OF THE WEEK)
Packers over Bears
Seahawks over Eagles
Steelers over Ravens
