Week 15 Algorithm Picks

Another big week in the NFL approaches and it is time for the Algorithm to try to redeem itself.  What a difference a year makes.

Game	Algorithm Predicts	Personal Comments
49ers +6.5 @ Dolphins total: 41.5	Take the 49ers and the Under	San Francisco and Houston are the two submarine teams of 2008.  That is, you don’t want to play either team right now.
Buccaneers +3 @ Falcons Total: 44.5	Take the Buccaneers and the over	This is a tough one to pick.
Redskins –7 @ Bengals total: 36.5	Take the Redskins and the under	Unless the Redskins score 37 points, take the under on this one.
Chargers –6.5 @ Chiefs total: 45.5	Take the Chargers and the over.	I don’t trust San Diego.  The problem is I trust Kansas City is bad.  Actually, though, I think there is hope in KC for next year.
Packers –1.5 @ Jaguars total: 45	Take Green Bay and the over.	Who knows.  Who cares.  Rogers still has something to prove though.  That’s the only thing I can think about with respect to this game.
Titans –3 @ Texans total: 45	Take the Titans and the over
Seahawks -2.5 at Rams total: 43	Take the Seahawks and the under
Lions +17 @ Colts Total: 45	Take the Colts and the over	No matter what the line is, take the Colts.  Come on Detroit, this is the game I want you to win.
Bills +7.5 @ Jets Total: 41	Take the Jets and the over	The Jets have to break out after the last two weeks.
Vikings +3 @ Cardinals total: 47	Take the Vikings and the over	I think the Vikings are a good bet here.  Arizona cannot run at eh best of times.  The Minnesota D represents the worst of times.
Patriots –7 @ Raiders Total: 39.5	Take the Patriots and the over.
Steelers +2.5 @ Ravens Total: 34	Take the Ravens and the over.	The algorithm actually picks the Ravens to win by 5.
Broncos +7.5 @ Panthers Total: 48	Take Carolina.  The algorithm also predicts 48 points will be scored so it cannot pick the over/under.	Come on Denver!
Giants +3 @ Cowboys Total: 45	Take the Giants and the under	How are the Cowboys favored here?
Browns +14 @ Eagles Total: 39	Take the Eagles.  The algorithm also picked 39 points to be scored in this game.	Even if the Browns wanted to try, which they don’t, take the Eagles.

After this week’s drama in Dallas, the team will either explode and die out for this season, or win the Super Bowl.  There is no in between now.
