Week 15 NFL picks: "Cliff Hangers"



I wish I knew how to attached audio to a blog post. I would be able to find that obnoxious yodeling and attach it to this file in honor of our Pricing Game this week, "Cliff Hangers"!
The last three weeks of the NFL season are like the three prizes that you have to guess in Cliff Hnagers. One really bad move - like guessing "$500" for a $35 blender - would cause Olaf to go over the cliff. But if you make the right moves, and limit your losses, you too can win and make the playoffs.

Predictions for this week:
(submitted Saturday): Atl 24, Dal 13. Well, this was way off
NYJ 20, Min 17. So many people are trying to convince to take the Vikings - but one question for them. If they only scored 3 against the 9ers, how are they going to score here? Detroit gave them so many points last week thru turnovers.
Bal 27, Cle 7. The end of Romeo starts?
NE 31, Hou 13. Tell me a reason why this game won't end like this.
Buf 19, Mia 16. I am just biased against Miami. Stay away from this.
Pit 20, Car 13. Pittsburgh just looks good - and now they have 10 days of rest to face a dejected Panthers team.
NO 27, Was 17. Should be a comfortable win for the Saints.
Jax 27, Ten 20. Jax is too good to lose here, with the playoffs on the line.
Chi 20, TB 3. How is Tampa going to score? Oh yes, they'll save it for next week.
NYG 28, Phi 23. Can't figure this one out.
GB 30, Det 20. It will be warm in Green Bay, so there will be lots of passes.
Den 23, Az 20. Cutler's first win? I have no clue on this one.
SD 27, KC 20. Niether on this one. I believe SD will have some letdown, however- it won't be a blowout.
StL 20, Oak 9. Again, tell me how Oakland scores on offense.
Cin 30, Ind 27, OT. A Monday Night classic.

16 best bets:
Atl +3.5
Dal/Atl Under 45
(wow - good start to the week)
NYJ +3.5
NE -11
Hou/NE Over 37 1/2
Pit pick
Jax -3.5
Jax/Ten Over 41
Chi -13.5
Chi/TB Under 34
Phi/NYG over 43 1/2
GB -5.5
GB/Det Over 44 1/2
StL +3
Stl/Oak Under 38
Cincinnati +3

Records to be posted later. Hopefully, witha good week this week, I can make Derek's hopes of winning this challenge go off a cliff, like this man's chance of winning the game:

The theory on my games...Take home underdogs, take cold weather teams playing at home against warm weather teams, and take the heavy favorites.

I fully expect the yodeling to be sampled on Jay-Z's next album.
