week fifteen, NFL picks

Well, there are only three weeks left in the NFL season.  In the NFC the Packers, Saints, and 49ers have clinched playoff spots, already.  The New York Giants got a big win last week in Dallas thanks to a Jason Pierre-paul blocked field goal which would have tied the game.  The Giants are now set up to win the NFC east with another win against Dallas.  Over in the AFC the Houston Texans are the only team to claim a playoff spot, in a conference which will probably come down to the end.    
Week 15 Picks:
1) Arizona has been up and down all year but this week they welcome in a Cleveland Brown team who's banged up and doesn't have their starting quarterback, Colt McCoy.  I'll pick the Arizona Cardinals (-6.5) over the Cleveland Browns in Phoenix.  Arizona Cardinals -6.5 
2) Green Bay is not loosing to Kanas City this week by Sunday night they'll be 14-0.  I'll take the Green Bay Packers (-13.5) over the Kansas City Chiefs in KC.  Green Bay Packers -13.5 
3) I am going to pick an up-set here, New England's defense isn't very good so I believe the Denver Broncos can score some points, this game comes down to can the Denver defense hold the Patriots and Tom Brady long enough for Tim Tebow and the offense to put up some points.  After last week and another 4th quarter comeback how can you not believe in Tim Tebow.  I'll take the Denver Broncos (+7.5) at home in the Mile High air to knock off the New England Patriots.  Denver Broncos +7.5 
4) The NY Jets got a much needed win against the Chiefs last week and this week take the show on the road to visit Michael Vick in Philadelphia.  The New York Jets need every win right now and this would be a big one, i'll take the NY Jets (+3) in Philly over the Eagles.    NY Jets +3
5) In a big game last week in Dallas where the secondary did not play very well, but they did find a running game with Brandon Jacobs behind the re-built offensive line.  Thanks to an Eli Manning 4th quarter comeback and Jason Pierre-Paul, the NY Giants got a big win.  Now the Giants control their own destiny and will be able to break a tie with another win against Dallas in week 17.  The Giants have to win at least one of their next two first, and that starts this week against Washington.  The Giants know what their up against and I see them playing better against a team they were embarrassed against week 1.   I'll take the New York Giants (-6.5) at home against the Washington Redskins.  NY Giants -6.5
