Halfway In The NFL

Maybe today? Rocky Mount's girls tennis team washed out in the third round of the state duel tennis championship on Tuesday.  The schedule calls for the Eastern Finals today so a victory today and a match tomorrow.

Now the NFL: Had the type week expect to have every week but it hasn't happened.  Went 12-2 to shoot my picks up to 69-50

Thursday football features the battle of Ohio.  Cleveland 2-6@ Cincinnati 7-0:  The Browns seem to play just good enough to lose.  Cincy showed they might be on a different level last week.  Bengals 27 Browns 20

Packers 6-1 @ Panthers 7-0:  Aaron Rogers hasn't play very well against good defenses.  Panthers I believe qualify for a good defense.  Packers last two games have given up 500 yards to Chargers and Broncos.  I find it hard to believe I'm picking the Panthers. 26-23.

Titans 1-6@ Saints 4-4:  You noticed Saints are on a roll. Saints 42- 17

Dolphins 3-4@ Bills: 3-4: Looks to me fish are on the way up while Bill Cody has been over rated because of their coach.  Miami 27 Bills 20

Redskins 3-4@Patroits 7-0. Do you remember the last time these two played.  Brady ahead by 50 passed from one the yard line to win by 50plus.  This year the Redskins get revenge they only lose by 30 45-14

Rams 3-4 @ Vikings 5-2:  This might be best game of the weekend as Todd Gurley meets the master Adrian Peterson. I think Rams defense can help them win this game 30-27

Jags 2-5 @ Jets 4-3: Jets-Jets-Jets 23-17

Giants 4-4 @ Bucs 3-4:  Anybody noticed but Bucs have  a good D.  Bucs kick butt 24-23

Falcons 6-2 @ 49's2-6: Falcons have a better record that what they truly are.  9'ers will win 27-23

Bronco's 7-0 @ Colts 3-5. 14 points for the Colts will not be enough.  Denver 31-14.

Eagles 3-4 @ Cowboys 2-5:  Boys need this one to stay close.  Eagles win 31-17

Raiders 4-3 @ Steelers 4-4:  One of the things I hate about the NFL is when a player passes and gets ok to play like Big Ben did  he is out of shape and needed a week or two to get in playing.  He played like he had never been on the field before.  Doubt he will be good enough again this week against one of the rising teams in NFL Oakland. Raiders 26 Pitt 20.

Monday night football has a reunion of two good friends Philip Rivers and  Jay Cutler.  Chicago 2-5@ Chargers 2-6.  Rivers may throw for 500 yards. 26-20 a Chargers.
