Feast or Famine Part 2; The Deathly Shopping Hallows

Picks by JP- Follow him at @Fredbook_JP

Vikings @ Falcons (-9.5)

Man, did the Vikings become worse than the Colts last weekend when AP was carted off the field? That guy was the only reason to watch that team, unless your team was playing them (Editor's Note: reason is null and void if your team is any of the following:  Rams, Colts, Browns, Jaguars, Cardinals, or Jaguars).

This game could get ugly, and get ugly fast. Take the Falcons and lay the points.

Texans (-6) @ Jaguars

Here's the thing about Matt Leinert as Houston's QB; he doesn't have to throw for them to win. The Texans already showed us earlier this year that they can win by handing the ball to Foster and Tate the entire game. Their defense is pretty good as well. They can beat the Jags, but their playoff run might be in trouble. Take the Texans to win by more than a touchdown here.

Buccaneers @ Titans (-3)

I don't think that it will matter who starts at quarterback for Tennessee, the Bucs haven't won yet in November and I don't like them to end that streak today. For some reason that is unknown to me, the Titans are winning in spite of Chris Johnson. Last weekend, they nearly came back against Atlanta when Jake Locker came in to play. The Titans still think they they can make the playoffs and who am I to argue. There are some big dudes on that team

Cardinals (+2.5) @ Rams

Wait, you mean that someone who actually watched last Sunday's thrilling Seahawks/Rammies tilt and still thinks the Rams can outscore another team by more than three points? Sorry, I didn't wake up and take crazy pills pills this morning. Take the Cardinals and let's start taking action on Spagnuolo being the first head coach to lose his job this season. By the way, just because I think the Rams will lose, doesn't mean that I think that Whisenhunt is any better as a coach than Spagnuolo. Without Kurt Warner, Whiz only has one more victory than Spags does (11>10).

[I bet I'd be the best QB if in the dome is I walked in there today]

Ok. Apologies, but the rest of the picks are going to be rapid-fire. I'm watching pregame as I type, so sorry. I promise more effort will go into next week's picks. I did just get a new PlayBook (which I typed this weeks column). Here you go-

Take the Bengals (-6) over the Browns.

I like the Bills (+9.5) at the Jets.

Let's go with the Panthers (-3.5) at the Colts.

The Seahawks (-3) beat the Redskins at Qwest Field.

The Bears (+3) win this one for Jay Cutler at the Raiders.

The Patriots (-3) take care of the Eagles in Philadelphia.

Timmy Tebow single-handedly leads the Broncos (+5.5) over the Chargers.

I like the Chiefs (+10) and the points at home over the Steelers on Sunday night.

And let's go with the Saints (-8.5) over the Giants in New Orleans on Monday.

Hope everyone reading had a lovely Thanksgiving and also survived Black Friday. Blues are at Columbus tonight at 6:00. Watch hockey.
