Verb's Pick 6 - Week 17

Ok, so I was 3-4 last week. That's not so bad. I'm sure you didn't make very much money but hopefully if you are looking to me for picks, you aren't in desperate need of it so it really didn't hurt you too badly.

This week we have a lot of teams who are resting players and some other teams that are playing for the playoffs. It should make for a very interesting week and tonight's game between San Diego and Denver is even for a division championship.

Miami can play there way in if Chad Pennington can get a win over his old team in New Jersey.

For other teams, a win or a loss today could decided the future for some coaches. If you are a coach on the hot seat you better get your team ready.

Let's get to the picks!

Oakland (+13) @ Tampa Bay
  • Ok, so maybe this is a crazy pick because Oakland is that bad and Tampa is playing for the playoffs but I am not saying Oakland will win because they won't. I'm just saying that Oakland will keep this game within 2 touchdowns. I know they are traveling across the country in the wrong direction and all but I really this Oakland will put up a good effort knowing that this may be the Cable guys last game.
  • Tampa wins 27-19
Dallas @ Philadelphia (-1.5)
  • Philadelphia looked horrible last week against Washington. But it's Dallas and it may be for the playoffs and its in Philly. T.O. shot his mouth off again this week this time it was about Roy Williams and how he really hasn't produced much since he came to Dallas. It's the truth but I think T.O. needs to shut his mouth and just play football with how important this game is for this team. I truly believe that if Dallas loses today, which I think is going to happen, Wade Phillips will be fired.
  • Philadelphia wins 24-13
Chicago (+3) @ Houston Upset Special!
  • Chicago is playing for the division. All they need is to win here and the Giants to beat Minnesota and Chicago is in. I know the game is on the road and Houston is a darn good football team but that's a lot for Chicago to be playing for, for them to be underdogs here. I just think the emotion is too much in the Bears favor and I think they win this one by a touchdown.
  • Chicago wins 24-17
Jacksonville @ Baltimore (-11) Best Bet!
  • Baltimore is playing for the other wildcard spot in this one. Their defense is awesome and I really don't think Jacksonville will score more then 6 points. Joe Flacco will get them at least two touchdowns and if he doesn't the defense will get one for him. I think Balitmore wins big in this one and secures their playoff spot.
  • 27-6
Cleveland @ Pittsburgh (-11) Best Bet II!
  • Pittsburgh needs to get some momentum back going into the playoffs. They played a bad second half in Tennessee last week so they will look to bounce back a bit in this one. I really though Romeo Crennel had a chance to come back last week but then they lost to Cincy 14-0. I think he is gone, I think he knows he's gone and I think the players know he's gone. That means there isn't much to play for except a higher draft pick in the draft.
  • Pittsburgh 31-3
and my final pick of the season is...

Washington @ San Francisco (-3)
  • Did you expect anything else?
  • I know this is a homer pick and I will openly admit that but I am fairly confident that it will work out in my favor. The Niners are playing some good football lately and Singletary just got a contract offer for next season! That's awesome news as far as I am concerned. This team will keep the momentum going as Washington might have played its last good game of the year last week against the Eagles. It's a cross country trip for them and I like the Niners chances in this one.
  • San Francisco 23-17.
Extra point Over/Under pick.
  • I almost left this out this week because I really wanted the Niners to my last pick of the regular season but I figured this really isn't picking a specific team so it was ok.
  • Miami and the Jets line is 42.5. The game will be in the New Jersey and I just don't think this will be a offensive game. I think the two defenses will control the game and I think it will be a very low scoring, playoff like game. I don't think either team gets to 20.
  • Take the under as Miami wins 17-13.

Boo Ya! Good Luck this week and enjoy the games!
