If I told you last week Joe and the offense scored 38 points the 3rd most in the NFL that would be a good thing right?  Not last week, the Steelers scored the second most points in the NFL last week. Beating us on a last minute field goal by ONE POINT!  ONE POINT! I can’t believe we lost by ONE POINT!  Why….Why…Why did it have to be on a Sunday night -no less it took me until 2:00 AM to wind down and fall asleep.  That 5:00 AM wake up call came way to early.  ONE POINT are you kidding me?

I am not going to dwell in the past, so let’s forget about last week and move on on to the Browns, the 0-13 Browns, the winless Browns, the Browns with the worst turnover ratio in the NFL,  the Browns who we have beaten the last three straight games, the Browns with a higher ranked defense than us, the Browns with a higher ranked offense than us.  What?  Stop there, hold the phone!  The Browns have a better offense and defense than we do?  According to the numbers the Browns should be heading to the Super Bowl.  And this is what scares me with games like his.  The Browns may be 0 and 13 but they still have good players who put up numbers but can’t play as a team and win a game.  Did notice I said “a game” since they have not won any games this year, in fact they have only won one game in the last two seasons.  It must really suck to be a Browns fan.

So I can’t ignore the Thursday Night game like I usually do and have a Sunday morning drop dead dead line because we have NFL game on Saturday!   Isn’t life grand!

Disclaimer: Remember my picks are who we want to win to help the Ravens playoff chances not who we think will win.  So don’t hock your Christmas presents to bet on my picks.

Go Ravens!!!

 

Thursday Night

Broncos 25, Colts 13
So, the Colts are trying to repeat the ” Suck of Luck” season.

Saturday
4:30pm

Detroit over Chicago:
Both NFC teams with the Lions playing for a wildcard spot.

8:30pm

LA Chargers at Chiefs
The winner of this game will most likely be the AFC West champs and the loser probably out of a wildcard race.  This could be the game of the week.

Sunday
1:00pm

Ravens over Browns
This is the ultimate trap game.  When the Ravens coaches bring out script #3 about how good this weeks opponent is and they are better than their record indicates they are not lying.   We will travel to Cleveland and show the Browns fans what a real team looks like.   The Browns QB DeShone Kizer likes to throw interceptions and Eric Weddle will oblige him.

GO RAVENS!!! 

Dolphins over Bills
The Bills have the same record as we do.

Packers over Panthers
Arron Rodgers comes back this week and that’s not good for the Vikings.  Go Pack Go!

Texans over Jaguars
It’s all about the records and next years draft.

Vikings over Bengals
If the Bengals lose tomorrow they will out of the playoffs and will have nothing to play for in two weeks when we play them.

Saints over Jets
A Jets loss will eliminate them from the playoffs.

Eagles over Giants
The Eagles lost their QB Carson Wentz for the season last week.  But they have a good enough team to overcome and get the number seed in the NFC.

Cardinals at Redskins
The Redskins still have a shot at the playoffs.

Sunday
4:05pm

Rams at Seahawks you pick’em
This is a battle for first place in the NFC West.

Sunday
4:25pm

Patriots over Steelers
I just can’t think what Steeler fans would be like if they have the number 1 seed in the AFC.

49ers over Titans
The Titans are one game ahead of us.

Sunday
8:30pm

Cowboys over Oakland
This would knock the Raiders out of the playoffs.

Monday
8:30pm

Buccaneers over Falcons
Because you know how much I like Matt Ryan.

The most wonderful time of the year, is the push for the playoff.

Enjoy the games starting on Saturday!

And that’s just The View From 151.

GO RAVENS!!!
