Week 15 Picks

It is already week 15 in the NFL. This year has flown by, and with playoffs quickly approaching, do not expect for it to slow. This week has 2 games that are worth watching. These games are Pittsburgh visiting Baltimore and the New York Giants visiting the Dallas Cowboys.

The first of the two games is the Steelers strolling into the Ravens nest. This battle is for the top of the AFC North. Currently the 10-3 Steelers stand on top of this division but the Ravens are only a game back and have the chance to even it out this week. Although Pittsburg has the 20th ranked offense, they do posses the number 1 defense. Pittsburgh has allowed an average of 14 points per game this season and allowed the leagues best 241 yards per game. This will be a tought challenge for the rookie that is disguised as a seasoned veteran, Joe Flacco. Flacco is in charge of the 11th ranked offense of Baltimore and being at home should be able to get the crowd on his side and the points on the board. Look for Baltimore to come out with the close victory, 24-21.

The second game worth watching is the New York Giants heading to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Once again the Big D is infested with drama. Owens is acting his norm and accusing Romo of favoring tight end Jason Witten over Owens. The soap opera in Dallas seems to have no end. Dallas is 3 games back in the NFC East and can no longer win the division but must win out to tie with the Giants. If the Cowboys come out and fly around the field like Dallas is known for, the Giants will have troubles but if this soap opera in Dallas has the players minds off of the game and more in the drama then we will see the Giants run over the Cowboys. Watch for the G-men to roll over the Boys, 31-17.

When it comes to this soap opera in Dallas, frankly, I'm fed up with it. TO is such a burden to any team he plays for. Sure he's a great addition to the team on paper, but why can't this guy just keep his mouth shut? He really pisses me off. And to think that the Dolphins were going to pick him up...
