Without further ado, here are this weeks picks:
(Please bare with me this week as I am working on a quicker layout and have simplified this week.)
Game Of The Week
(5-2) Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles (8-0)
Crim's Pick: Chicago Bears
Bryce and the Philadelphia Eagles have had the luxury of an unbeaten record for the fist 8 games of the season, though I don't think they've seen a defense like this Chicago unit. It'll be a very low scoring match, but I can see Ed getting back on track with this one.
(6-2) Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4)
Ed's Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars
"This is a huge game for the Jags who are looking to stay in the race for the AFC South crown. They’ll need to manage the clock exceptionally well, and keep Houston’s high powered offense off the field. In the end, I believe the Texans will show why they are the biggest threat in the entire AFC and Jacksonville will come up just short of victory."
(6-2) Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4)
Clint's Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars
"This is a must win for the jags, can the team step up when needed, should be a good game, I have my money in jags pulling it out from a ball control game."
(6-2) Houston Texans vs Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4)
Bryce's Pick: Houston Texans
"Chan is his usual self showing poised for playoffs as he is every year, and LB is also his usual self with his killer defensive squad. Looking for this to be a low scoring game and a battle of each of their defenses. I see Chan pulling through tho at the end.
Texans 13- Jaguars 10"
(5-2) Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles (8-0)
Jason's Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
"Both of these teams have excellent defenses but I don’t think Ed’s offense can keep up with this OP Eagles team on either side of the ball
Eagles 38 - Bears 14"
(5-2) Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles (8-0)
Q's Pick: Philadelphia Eagles
N/A
The Lock
(5-3) Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers (1-6)
Crim's Pick: Arizona Cardinals
For those of us who watch, we know Spawn and the 49ers are no push over, his stick skills may not translate onto the field week in and week out, but he can pull out an uncalled for win every now and again. This week is important to turning things around for the Arizona Cardinals in regards to the post-season, and they'll need to take this one.
(5-3) Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers (1-6)
Ed's Pick: Arizona Cardinals
"Not much needs to be said here. The Cardinals possess one of the most electrifying offensives in the entire SFL, and the 49ers on the other hand are downright awful on defense. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a 50 burger in this one."
(5-3) Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers (1-6)
Clint's Pick: Arizona Cardinals
"Byrd is too much for Spawn and his guys. I don't see anyway spawn can stop Byrd from putting up 30+"
(5-2) Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants (1-7)
Bryce's Pick: Dallas Cowboys
"Basically the lock of the week every week will be whoever plays Lando till he shows anything different other than being a doormat lol.
Cowboys 42- Giants 10"
(5-2) Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants (1-7)
Jason's Pick: Dallas Cowboys
"This is the obvious pick, Bando has given up 6 million points and scored probably 40 all season I wish him the best thought but I don’t see him being close to winning
Cowboys 49 - Giants 3"
(5-2) Pittsburgh Steelers vs Indianapolis Colts (1-6)
Q's Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers
N/A
The Upset
(3-5) New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens (5-2)
Crim's Pick: New England Patriots
We've finally found another owner to take over this very talented team, personally I haven't seen him in action at all, but that could be the shock value he needs. I can see Squab starting off hot out of the gate with a win over these Baltimore Ravens if he can keep Lamar Jackson in check.
(5-2) Los Angeles Chargers vs Green Bay Packers (2-6)
Ed's Pick: Green Bay Packers
"Green Bay has failed to live up to expectations this season, as they find themselves in the depths of the entire SFL. The Chargers have been slipping as of late, and injuries have become a major concern on both sides of the ball. Look for Green Bay to show a flash of what they’re truly capable of, and take down one of the top dogs in the AFC."
(5-2) Chicago Bears vs Philadelphia Eagles (8-0)
Clint's Pick: Chicago Bears
"Should be fun to watch, two big time Madden teams, that bears defense is insane, eagles o line is insane. I think mack does what he does though and dominates, bears win"
(1-6-1) Tennessee Titans vs Carolina Panthers (5-2)
Bryce's Pick: Tennessee Titans
"GOINS has shown flashes of what he could be this season as he tied with a top team in the AFC the Chargers. Crim can be good one week and average the next and just needs to add the consistency to his game. I see this being an average game of his that GOINS will look to take advantage of.
Titans 21- Panthers 17"
(1-6-1) Tennessee Titans vs Carolina Panthers (5-2)
Jason's Pick: Tennessee Titans
"Goins and the Titans are coming along nice with a Tie against Mike and only losing by a TD to Austin I think this is the week he pulls together a complete game and gets the upset win, nothing against Crim. It’ll just be one of those games though
Titans 21- Panthers 18"
(5-3) Arizona Cardinals vs San Francisco 49ers (1-6)
Q's Pick: San Francisco 49ers
