NY GIANTS  +2   at   Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens have been on the downward spiral the last 3 games as they are 0-3 vs. the line and have given up 29 points per game over these last 3 games.  The Giants come in off a shutout and blowout at the hands off the Falcons and will be ready to go.  Look for Eli and co. to put up some points against a sinking Raven D.  The Giants are 4-1 following a loss this season and have their playoff hopes on the line in this one.  The ravens last 5 games they have scored over 20 points just once, and with their D struggling this is not a good sign.

PREDICTION……….NY  GIANTS   31……….Baltimore  20.

BUFFALO BILLS + 4  at  Miami Dolphins

Two teams just playing out the schedule with no playoff hopes square off in this one.  The Bills D dominated the Dolphins just a few weeks ago and should do the same in this one.  Buffalo is also coming off a pounding by the Seahawks just a week ago.  Their only other blowout loss of the season they went on the road the next week and got the straight up win and cover.  Miami is just 3-3 vs. the number their last 6 at home and are averaging just 14 points per game in their last 6 games overall.   Look for the Bills to get the straight up win in this one.

PREDICTION……….BUFFALO  23……….Miami 17.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS  -3  vs.  St.Louis Rams

Another team coming off a blow out loss, should get back on track in this one.  Tampa got smashed in New Orleans last week and return home to take it out on St. Louis.  The Bucs were piling up points before they put up 0 last week, so look for the offense to be anxious to get this one going.  The rams are averaging just 17 points per game in their last 3 games and are gonna need alot more than that to keep up in this one.  Look for Tampa to win and cover in this one.

PREDICTION……….TAMPA  31………St.Louis  21

Saturday

• Atlanta    -4   at  Detroit   (51)

• Chicago   -6   at  Arizona   (37)
• San Francisco   -1   at  Seattle  (39)
• at  NY Jets  -2  San Diego   (39)

DALLAS  +3   at  Cincinnati

The Bengals have been hot lately but wins over Oakland, KC, and SD are not stellar competition.  Meanwhile the Cowboys at 6-6 are just a game out of first and play much better on the road.  RB Murray is finally healthy for Dallas and their D should be able to get to Dalton.  Look for Dallas to win this one out right.

Prediction…………..DALLAS  24……..Cincy  17

BALTIMORE  +2    at    Washington

The Skins are coming off a great win at home on Monday night vs. the Giants, while the Ravens had a tough loss at home to the Steelers with a 3rd string QB.  The Ravens have been mad all week and will take it out on the Skins who have had one less day to prepare because of their Monday Night game.  Look for the Ravens to get the job done on both sides of the ball with ray Rice going for a big day and the D holding RG3 in check.

Prediction……….BALTIMORE    27……..Washington  24

NY Jets   -3     at    Jacksonville

The Jets are getting low on their patience with Mark Sanchez.  Even with his horrible game last week they got the win.  With or with out Mark they will take advantage of an even worse team in Jacksonville.  The Jags did little in defeat at Buffalo and will look the same in this one.  Look for the Jets to get on track in this one and get the W.

Prediction……….NY Jets  24………Jacksonville 13.

DENVER BRONCOS -10   AT   OAKLAND RAIDERS

PICK:    DENVER BRONCOS  -10

The Broncos travel to Oakland to take on the fading Raiders. Oakland has lost 5 straight and failed to cover all 5.  In four of the 5 games they have not been within 10 points of the line.  The Broncos mean while are headed in the other direction and have won 7 straight and beat Oakland by 31 earlier this season.  Look for Peyton Manning to rip up this defense.  Denver has already clinched the AFC West, but have their sights set on a better seed in the playoffs.  Denver will move the ball at will in this one and their defense will contain the limited Raiders offense.

Prediction………DENVER   34………..Oakland 17.

THURSDAY

• DENVER  -10   AT   OAKLAND  (49)

SUNDAY

• AT  WASHINGTON  -2  BALTIMORE  (47)

MONDAY

GEORGIA   +8    vs.     ALABAMA

The SEC Championship takes place in the Georgia Dome as the No.2 ranked Alabama Crimson tide takes on the no.3 Georgia Bulldogs.  The winner will most likely battle Notre Dame for the national championship in January.  The two toughest opponents the Crimson Tide played they failed to cover in both and lost won and barely won the other vs. Texas A & M and LSU.  The Georgia offense comes in  on fire scoring at least 37   points in each of their last 4 games.  The Georgia defense is just as good as Bama’s and might even have more NFl prospects.  Look for Georgia to pull the upset in this one.

PREDICTION……….GEORGIA   27………..ALABAMA  24

NEBRASKA   -3     vs.     WISCONSIN

The Big Ten title matches Nebraska vs. Wisconsin in Indianapolis.  The Badgers lost to the Corn Huskers by just 3 the first time the two teams squared off this year, but Wisconsin finished the season on a 1-3 skid and covered just one of these games.  Nebraska comes in winners of six straight and have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6.  Look for Nebraska to pull away from  Wisconsin in the second half and get a double digit win in this one.  The Badgers D will slow Nebraska somewhat but not enough as the Cornhusker D will take care of the Wisconsin O.

PREDICTION……….NEBRASKA    27…………..WISCONSIN   17

OKLAHOMA   -5     at     TCU

The Sooners travel to TCU in their final Big 12 regular season game of the year and have their sights set on a BCS bowl birth.  The Sooners can still win the Big 12, but need Kansas State to loose to Texas, but even with out that they may sneak into a BCS bowl.  With this on their mind and TCU off a huge win over Texas I look for the Sooners to run away with this one.  TCU has allowed 36 or more points 4 times in conference play and the Sooners have one of the better offenses in the conference.

PREDICTION……….OKLAHOMA   41………..TCU  21

VANDERBILT  -11  at  Wake Forest

After a slow start to the season the Commodores have won five straight and look to finish the regular season with their sixth straight.  Wake Forest comes in a game under .500 in a weak ACC this season.  The Deamon Deacons have dropped their last two games by a combined score of 75-6.  Look for this trend to continue as Vandy will put up points in this one as they win going away.

Prediction………VANDERBILT   41…..Wake Forest  17

TENNESSEE TITANS  -3    at Jacksonville Jaguars

The Titans try to keep their playoff hopes alive as they visit Jacksonville in this one.  The Jags have been horrible at home and have not covered the number in any of their home games all season.  They put up a great effort at Houston last week, but don’t look for two in a row out of this team.  The Titans cruise to victory here.
Prediction……….TENNESSEE  31…..Jacksonville  17
