NFL: Week 17 picks

[Samba_SamPa]

Let's enter the playoffs having bashed the bookies :hope ..... Silly late now, just a little acca bet to get the thread started. Basically I think that Peyton, Tom and Matty Ice will leave their respective games at some point during the 2nd halves, with 2nd strings getting a run out with an altogether less 'risky' playbook. More clock management and fewer scoring chances meaning that the first halves will be the ones that see most points in each of the games. KC @ DEN, MIA @ NE & TB @ ATL all to have highest scoring half as '1st half' - 2pts @ 6.68 Skybet

Re: NFL: Week 17 picks Bears @ Lions Bears -3 @ 2 - 2 units The Bears need to win here and hope the Packers beat the Vikings to seal a Wildcard spot. Jay Cutler knows how big this is and I'm confident that the Bears will do whatever's necessary to take this. Quote from Jay: "This is a big game. Last week was a big game. We've got to win. There is nothing else to be said about it... these are the games you've got to have." The Bears fate is out of their hands, but I fancy them to take charge of the one thing they can control and win this comfortably against a Lions team that has been in a real slump and only averaged 16 points in their last 3. Cowboys @ Redskins Redskins -3 @ 1.9 - 1 unit Big game for both teams, but I think RG3 will do the business here. The Redskins have the most potent rushing offense in the NFL right now (and a 5th ranked rush defense), and combined with RG3's ability to make big play passes and even pick up significant rushing yards himself, I'd expect a similar game to their 38-31 win over the Cowboys last month. Also looking at the Texans to take out the Colts and under 39.5 in the 49ers game but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
