Week 11 NFL Picks

Almost didn't get this week's picks in but thanks to the inability to sleep past 7am on game day we beat the odds and persevered. Here are the results from last week:

Pitmaster:

Frank:


And now, on to the picks:


Carolina vs Detroit


Cam Newton had a rare off day last week but given his overall success this season (maybe not in wins) it would be nice to see him bounce back. Obviously, the Lions don't give a shit about Cam Newton and want to win to stay in the playoff hunt.

Pitmaster: Carolina 20, Detroit 17


Oakland vs Minnesotta

Potential snoozefest right here. Can Oakland keep pace with the Tebows and Chargers? Adrian Peterson is still electrifying.

Pitmaster: Oakland 27, Minnesotta 17


Dallas vs Washington

Washington is looking like they're the Colts plus 3 wins. Dallas should womp city on them but it's a divisional game so Washington could sneak in there today.

Pitmaster: Dallas 35, Washington 10


Buffalo vs Miami

Miami is looking to go on one of those fancy win streaks. The Bills got annihilated last week and they want revenge.


Pitmaster: Miami 27, Buffalo 13


Jacksonville vs Cleveland

If you watch this game, you are a true fan. Ugh.

Pitmaster: Jacksonville 17, Cleveland 15


Cincinnati vs Baltimore

Another big time divisional showdown. We're finally going to see what the young Bengals are made of missing A.J. Green in a tough road game. Baltimore isn't without woes of their own as Ray Lewis is out for at least this game.

Pitmaster: Baltimore 27, Cincinnati 20


Tampa Bay vs Green Bay

The battle of the bays. Bay of pigskins. That's all I got. If Tampa Bay wins it would be considered a bonafide miracle by the Catholic Church. Raheem Morris is one of the worst game managers the NFL has seen in a long time.

Pitmaster: Green Bay 38, Tampa Bay 18


Seattle vs St. Louis

Another big divisional showdo- oh wait, this is the NFC West? Nevermind.

Pitmaster: St. Louis 14, Seattle 13


Arizona vs San Francisco

Yes, this is the NFC West but is anyone else not continuously waiting for the 49ers to show their true colors this season? Maybe John Skelton can expose a team that unbelievably only has 1 loss.

Pitmaster: Arizona 28, San Francisco 14


Tennessee vs Atlanta

Is Chris Johnson still horrible? We'll see today when he faces the 3rd best rush defense in Atlanta.

Pitmaster: Atlanta 25, Tennessee 24


San Diego vs Chicago

Philip Rivers is still having the worst year of his career. Special teams and defense could be the difference in this one and that favors the Da Bears.

Pitmaster: Chicago 24, San Diego 20


Philadelphia vs New York Giants

Who didn't see this epic failure coming from the Eagles? Oh you're an Eagles fan, then I'm basically talking to you.

Pitmaster: New York Giants 31, Philadelphia 21


Kansas City vs New England

This might turn out to be a better game that people are expecting. New England's defense is still horrible. Maybe it wouldn't be if they were allowed to play Mark Sanchez every week but when Julian Edelman is lining up on the defensive side of the ball, you've got issues.


Pitmaster: New England 27, Kansas City 21

Week 10 NFL Picks

It's Thursday so that means its time to lock in our picks that everyone will judge us by. As always, some excellent games and some legitimate stinkfests (I'm looking at you Dolphins and Redskins). Here are the picks:

Oakland vs San Diego

Football is back on Thursday. Now we just have to start the campaign for a 42 game season and we can have football everyday.


Pitmaster: Oakland 14, San Diego 23


Frank: San Diego 24, Oakland 16



New Orleans vs Atlanta


One of the better games of the week. It'll be interesting to see how Julio Jones performs and if Mark Ingram can come back strong after a 2 week hiatus.

Pitmaster: New Orleans 31, Atlanta 21


Frank: Atlanta 24, New Orleans 17



Tennessee vs Carolina


Do you hate Chris Johnson? No? Then he's not on your fantasy team. Everyone is predicting this is the week he'll finally show up. I'll believe it when I see it.

Pitmaster: Carolina 28, Tennessee 13


Frank: Tennessee 31, Carolina 28



Pittsburgh vs Cincinnati


Andy Dalton would easily be rookie of the year if not for Cam Newton. A.J. Green is also a contender for the accolade. Will it be enough to beat a pretty under the radar Steelers team.

Pitmaster: Pittsburgh 24, Cincinnati 10


Frank: Pitt 24, Cin 10



St. Louis vs Cleveland


The only reason to watch this game is if you have Stephen Jackson on your fantasy team or you love rooting for bad teams.

Pitmaster: St. Louis 17, Cleveland 10


Frank: St. Louis 21, Cleveland 20



Buffalo vs Dallas


Should be a great game. Buffalo is trying to stave off another free fall (2008). Meanwhile, Dallas is trying to prove they belong at the top of the NFC East.

Pitmaster: Buffalo 22, Dallas 17


Frank: Buffalo 17, Dallas 14



Jacksonville vs Indianapolis


If you're a fan of any bad team you hate this game. Indianapolis seems hell bent on losing but Jacksonville would be right with them if not for Maurice Jones-Drew.


Pitmaster: Indianapolis 17, Jacksonville 7


Frank: Indianapolis 21, Jaguars 17



Denver vs Kansas City


Tim Tebow doesn't score in real life and he won't in this game. Read option? Please.

Pitmaster: Kansas City 24, Denver 0


Frank: Kansas City 20, Denver 10



Washington vs Miami


The Dolphins will continue to do everything in their power to not get Andrew Luck.

Pitmaster: Miami 23, Washington 20


Frank: Miami 28, Washington 14



Arizona vs Philadelphia


Who let the dogs out? Michael Vick. There's a joke in there somewhere.

Pitmaster: Philadelphia 24, Arizona 13


Frank: Philadelphia 38, Arizona 17



Houston vs Tampa Bay


As long as Houston's offensive line stays healthy they should never lose even in spite of Matt Schaub who is secretly terrible.

Pitmaster: Houston 24, Tampa Bay 10


Frank: Tampa Bay 28, Houston 24



Baltimore vs Seattle


Baltimore is good. Seattle is not.

Pitmaster: Baltimore 20, Seattle 6


Frank: Baltimore 28, Seattle 10



Detroit vs Chicago


Have you tried watching Chicago Bears games? They are hands down the most boring team to watch. I wouldn't even want to win a superbowl if I had to watch 19 Bears games a year.

Pitmaster: Chicago 20, Detroit 17


Frank: Chicago 21, Detroit 17



New York Giants vs San Francisco


San Francisco might finally be tested. Then again the Giants may be the Giants...

Pitmaster: New York Giants 31, San Francisco 16


Frank: San Francisco 27, Giants 24



New England vs New York Jets


Huge game for both teams. Is Mark Sanchez still terrible? Yeah? Then the Patriots should win.



Pitmaster: New England 30, New York Jets 13


Frank: New England 30, New York Jets 16




Minnesotta vs Green Bay


Minnesotta is Barry Sandersing the shit out of Adrian Peterson. Maybe Ponder can turn it around.

Pitmaster: Green Bay 34, Minnesotta 24


Frank: Minnesotta 21, Green Bay 20

John Beck Is Still John Beck

John Beck continues to be who we thought he was. Denny Green's words have never seemed more apropos. The Redskins, headed by John Beck lost their 4th straight in no small part to the man who is known as the real life MacGruber.

John Beck in case you didn't know was drafted into the league by the Miami Dolphins in 2007. The Dolphins went 1-15 that year and while it wasn't entirely John Beck's fault (Trent Green started the season and Cleo Lemon finished it) it was evident from the get go that Beck didn't have what it takes to be a QB in the NFL.

Now the 800 year-old journeyman (he was 27 as a rookie) is getting a chance to start again in D.C. As expected, things have not gone smoothly. Seemingly the only one blissfully unaware how bad John Beck actually is, is John Beck himself.

The guy has a way of talking that just shows how much he believes in himself. Maybe believe isn't the right choice of words. Let's put it this way, when it's obvious that John Beck is just flat out missing reads (presumably because he doesn't look more than 5 yards down the field) this was his response,

"That could be the case,” Beck said. “When I am out there on the field, I’m making the decisions as best I can. You’re making split-second decisions, so I’m trying to do the best I can with the ball. But that’s why tape is so important."

Uh...John it's not that the tape is so important, it's the fact that you seemingly refuse to look more than 6 yards down the field. Need more proof that John Beck is Mr. Checkdown. Roy Helu, the Redskins rookie running back just broke Art Monk's single game catch record with 14 catches this past Sunday against the 49ers. That's right a RB broke the Redskins' greatest pass catching record that has stood for time immemorial. Beck targeted Helu an astounding 17 times against San Francisco.

So the question, isn't if, but when John Beck will get his Showtime at the Apollo moment and yanked off stage. The fact that he is even starting games shows a continued lack of foresight by the Washington Redskins that should disconcert even the most die-hard of die-hard fans. Good luck John Beck because you're gonna need it.

Would you pay the NFL for footage of "All 22"?

I think most die-hard NFL fans would love the opportunity to watch the coaches tape.  I doubt many would know what to watch for but it wouldn't stop then from pretending. The last thing we need is every slapdick at a sports bar beginning his argument with "Well, since I broke down game tape.."
