Haven’t been around much since essentially bubbling the NFLSupercontest(out of the money by 1 point), but I like the Titans to cover 13.5 tonight. My line was NE -10.6.
NE has a non existent pass rush and a weak run defense. They have 2 elite corners but their dline should get mauled by the Titans VERY GOOD offensive line/big running back and the Titans best 2 weapons in the passing game are in the slot and TE. I expect NE to lock down the sidelines but for Ten to control the middle of the field. NE also has struggled with mobile QBs. I see NE being 1 dimensional today. Remember that playoff game vs the Ravens where they scrapped the run game and passed it every play? I think we see a similar game plan today since Ten should control the line of scrimmage. Ten should be able to score and with much of a run game I think they can turn some of the Patriots long drives into FG’s rather than TDs. Hogan should be rusty, White is banged up, and I see lots of small advantages for Ten in this game, enough for them to hang around a bit Good luck.

Good luck! |

Went 4-1. 60.7% on the year. I game out of the money. I’ll be a big Cincy fan tonight- A ton of people at the top have Pit and I don’t want them pulling away. |

Still in this thing! Not gonna have time to do long write ups since we are in the heart of basketball season now but I went with:
Titans -6.5 (Probably the most improved defense from the start of the year. Dominant offensive line too). Bills +8.5 (Pats don't have much of a pass rush. Tyrod Taylor should have all day and the Pats will probably struggle with his mobility. The Bills safeties are the best in the league and they have 3 good corners too. They match up well.) Jaguars -9.5 (Best defense in the league. Ferocious pass rush vs. a dog pooh offensive line and a QB with only 1 real weapon. Saints -4 (Teams are similar on offense other than Cam's mobility. The difference is that NO has a pass rush and some very talented corners. Carolina's secondary is bottom 5 in my rankings. Cam has also struggled with accuracy this year and Brees has been prolific.) Seahawks +6 (Don't look now but their oline is improving. Their dline/pass rush has improved considerably since week 1. Shaq G is back, Maxwell has looked very solid. The Seahawks defense is very talented still and they have a ton of weapons. I think they win straight up.)

Here are my Supercontest picks: Atl -9.5 KC -9.5 NYJ +4.5 Ten -3 Bal -7
As soon as I submitted my picks Buffalo said they were starting Tyrod Taylor and that Cedric Thornton and Matt Milano will be getting more minutes. All of those things would be huge upgrades. I hate the KC play now and actually think Buf has a little value. My line w/Peterman starting was KC -18.33. As of today my line is KC -8.66. But the pick is in so I'm just gonna hope for a little luck. -I do have wagers on ATL -9.5 and NYJ +5.5. -If I removed the KC pick, Jax was my 6th strongest play. -I think Baltimore and Atl blow out their opponents. -The Jets I actually had favored in this game. My line in the Ten/Indy game was Ten -9.13 Good luck! |

Had a good week last week(4-1) to get me back in the Supercontest race. I’m not using any of the Thanksgiving games for my week 12 picks but I did make a wager on the Chargers -1 today.
-Think QB is about even, slight edge to Dak, but the pass rush and coverage matchups give LA a big advantage. I don’t think Dallas has a single offensive mismatch today and will really struggle to score. Happy Thanksgiving. Also... Pray for La’el Collins y’all, Bosa and Ingram bout to ruin his Thanksgiving. |

Really just can’t catch a break right now. Jaguars d has a fumble recovery for a td called back, then they pick off Rivers and get tackled at the 2? Then a stupid penalty and they kick the FG resulting in a loss for me(-3.5). My reads the last few weeks have been really good so that’s encouraging but the luck factor is really getting me right now. Still have some hope for a solid week but my last 4 combination of losses and pushes should all have been wins.

So after the Seattle meltdown/push I have the following 4 picks in the Supercontest:
Vikings -1 (My line was Min -7.68) Jaguars -3.5 (My line was Jax -8.17) Giants -2.5 (My line was Nyg -11.2) Dolphins +9 (My line was Mia -1) Minny: Both teams are excellently coached but the pass rush, linebacker coverage, and secondary coverage for Minny is so much better than anything Was has. Minnesota has better skill position players to imo and depending on how the injuries on Washington's offensive line shake out the Vikings could have a big advantage there too. Jaguars: Don't want to repeat the same thing every week but the Jags defense is the best I've recorded in the 3 years I've been working on my model. Bortles continues to be serviceable and the return of Westbrook and Fournette gives this offense a big boost. I think LA will really struggle to score and their run defense has been atrocious throughout the year. Giants: Let's be honest, the only reason the line is this low is because people think the Giants have quit. Your guess is as good as mine on if that is true or not but talent wise, the teams aren't comparable. I'm hoping the Giants play semi hard in this game if they do I think they win pretty easily. They're better all across the board. Miami: I had to check the numbers I input because I didn't believe it. I'm sure you don't believe it ether and that's ok. Truth is.... Cutler been better than people think and Cam has been significantly worse than people think. The Dolphins have 2 really good receiving talents and are facing a Carolina secondary that has looked AWFUL. Carolina's pass rush has been really bad this year, where as Miami has 1 of the best pass rush's in the league. Miami has some guys they're getting back for this game that could really help them out. I think this will be a MUCH more competitive game than people think. Hoping for 4-0-1 to get me in the top 25-30 places in the contest. Good luck to everyone!

In a pretty rough stretch luck wise. Arizona scores a garbage time to for the backdoor push. At least I still get a half point for that in the Supercontest. |

A Julio Jones god awful drop cost me a game. Blair Walsh cost me another. It was a horrible week and I ended up only earning 2.5 points. That's the bad news. Good news is I'm still only 1 point out of the money and 5 behind the leader. I'm in the top 100 so I like my chances. This week I make my move.
No wager on this game but Seattle -6 is a Supercontest pick. I'll be back Saturday or Sunday with the rest of them. My line for this game was Seattle -15.98. Good luck!

GB marches down the field and has the fg blocked. Can’t make it up. Teams I’ve backed are literally 0-4 their last 4 Fg tries. None of them even 50 yarders... |

GB +2
My line was GB -2.53
A couple of things. Yes obviously Stafford vs. Hundley is a mismatch. However, GB has huge advantges in skill position players, offensive lineman, and dline. The Detroit Oline was already bad but Robinson is out and his replacement at LT looks historically bad. Swanson has also been horrific. Detroit's other 3 lineman are very good- but GB has explosive pass rushers from every position on the dline and blitzes more so than most teams so I would expect Stafford to be under duress. Detroit has some good skill position players and GB's secondary hasn't been very good, but I doubt Stafford has the time he needs to hit anything deep. I think GB's defense shows out tonight.
Detroit has an above average dline, horrible linebackers, and solid safeties. I personally think they are making a big mistake not playing Killebrew at Safety instead of Wilson but that's just me. GB has enough solid recievers, RB's, and TE's(M. Bennett is out for this game which helps GB-Kendricks has been much better) that there should be GB players winning every play. The oline is elite and I doubt Hundley is under much pressure. Should have all day to throw back there. |

The Miami push earns me a half point. 2.5 points should help me keep my same position, might fall a little bit but it could be worse. Pressing onwards. Will have a wager on tonight’s game. |

Love when the team you back misses 3 field goals. Ridiculous. |

Blair Walsh missed 2 easy kicks already for Seattle. Not a lucky day for me thus far. |
