NFL Selections:
Cincinnati @ New England -11
New England hasn’t overlooked anyone this year. They definitely won’t start vs. the Bengals. Cincinnati has gotten better each week, and add on to the Pats RB Dillon wanting to show them for a second time this year (Destroyed them in preseason) that he should’ve been their man. Patriots -11
Cleveland @ Buffalo -11.5
The Bills shouldn’t lose this game as they have momentum along home field. The Browns are injured on all fronts, and McCown starts for just his second time. However I don’t see Buffalo rolling up the score that easily, and expect the Browns to play with a lot of heart in this one. Look for Lee Suggs to be back in the lineup and have a big game. Browns +11
NY Giants @ Baltimore -10
Look for Baltimore’s defense to really step up in this game. The Giants are having trouble to score to begin with, and the Ravens are in a must win situation. Should be a cake walk. Ravens -10
Detroit @ Green Bay -9.5
The packers pass defense has been bad the last two games. However Lions QB Harrington has been to inconsistent to back him on the road. Green Bay should play with a big sense of urgency as they have three division games left, and need to win the games at home. Packers -9.5
Seattle @ Minnesota -6.5
Seattle showed a little more heart than we have been seeing in LW’s loss on MNF. They have the weapons on offense to hang close, and maybe even win this game SU. As long as they show the intensity they did in the comeback LW vs. Dallas even though they still fell short. Seahawks +6.5
Oakland @ Atlanta -7.5
This one should be a high scoring game. As Oakland is showing some good resiliency the past month. Atlanta will look to lock the division up, and rebound from last weeks humbling loss at Tampa Bay. Either way this one should come down to the end of the game. Raiders +7.5
Chicago @ Jacksonville -7.5
A good defense, a feisty first year coach. Nice to have. A competent quarterback? Priceless. That's how the Bears probably feel right about now having finally seen their snap-taker post some beautiful stats. This is a team which has already won four games outright as touchdown plus underdogs, but gets hefty points from the line once again this week. Bears +7.5
New Orleans @ Dallas -7.5
Dallas doesn’t have a big run stopper, and that will come back to haunt them here as NO has McAllister. He has the ability to wear the Cowboys down, and I look for the Saints to cover this number. Saints +7.5
Indianapolis -11 @ Houston
No use not taking the Colts until someone proves they can stop the Manning & Co. express. Colts -11
NY Jets @ Pittsburgh -5.5
The Steelers have the best run defense in the league, and have had games in the past where they’ve shut Martin completely down. He has been the reason the Jets have been winning this year, and Pittsburgh will take that away. Steelers -5.5
Miami @ Denver -11.5
Denver has shown too much inconsistency vs. such teams like Miami. I can’t back them here especially they way the Dolphins have been playing with so much heart of late. Dolphins +11.5
St Louis @ Carolina -7
Wow now we see the resurgent Panthers laying a TD to a team that is in 1st in their division. Look for carolina to keep on rolling as the Rams have questions at both the QB and RB positions. Panthers -7
San Francisco @ Arizona -7
A meaningless game here, and so I’ll lay the points with the team that has in my opinion the biggest heart. Plus the Cardinals have the most desire to win games where the Niners have given up on the season. Cardinals -7
Tampa Bay @ San Diego -5.5
No need in thinking the Chargers will stop losing games now. After last weeks win and the hot Bucs coming in look for SD to show heir stuff big time this week. Chargers -5.5
Philadelphia -9.5 @ Washington
Now why wouldn’t I take the Skins at home getting this many when I already took them away getting just as many vs. the same team. Philly gets brought down to earth here, and gets a solid game from the Skins, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Washington doesn’t pull off the upset. Skins +9.5
Kansas City @ Tennessee -2
This on has the makings of a 5* play for me. So I’m not going to put up who I think will win this game. It’ll be available for paying customers only. If your not a current subscriber just purchase the newsletter for $9.00, and also receive the winner of this 5* MNF matchup.

League: NFL
Event: Denver Broncos vs Miami Dolphins on 12-12-2004 at 13:05
Condition: Denver Broncos
Grade: Ungraded
Explanation: Miami's season was essentially finished when Ricky announced he was retiring over the summer. Miami limps into this game in Denver at 2-10, a warm-weather sea-level team playing in a cold-weather high-altitude site! The Broncos face a MUST-WIN game for the second time this season. Denver opened the year 5-1 but then lost conseciutive games to Cincy and Atl! The Broncos hosted Houston in their next game and with a 5-4 record staring them in the face, DOMINATED the Texans, winning 31-13. They face much the same situation here as a blown 4th-quarter lead vs Oakland two weeks ago and a 20-17 loss to SD last week (led in yards 337-208!) has them at 7-5 and in REAL danger of mising the playoffs. Miami can't run (83.7 YPG) and while Feeley passed for career highs in yrds (303) and TDs (3) last week, he also had FIVE interceptions! One of those INTs was returned for a score, the FIFTH time that's happened to him this year and Miami's EIGHTH turnover returned for a TD in 2004! For Denver, Droughns struggled vs SD's outstanding rush defense (No. 2) but WILL NOT vs Miami's rush defense that's ranked 30th. Plummer WILL NOT throw four INTs again and if Denver can hold a red-hot Drew Brees to 105 yards passing and no TDs last week, the Broncos probably can't wait to get at Feeley! Denver NEEDS this game badly and Miami is the perfect foil, a team that can't run or pass and one that leads the NFL with 35 giveaways not to mention a minus-21 turnover ratio. NFL Game of the Year 10* Broncos.
