Take it or Leave it: Week 15
Someone had the balls to question whether
I am good or lucky when it comes to making
my NFL Pick of the
Week.
I didn’t answer him, nor should
I have had to. To be one, you’ve
got to be the other. And besides, as long
as the cash keeps coming in, who cares?
It’s
been a great year and the New York Giants
added to the fun last week. While inching
closer to a playoff berth, the Giants
added some money to my wallet in the
process with a 16-13 win over Philly
as three-point dogs.
If you read
this piece every week, and any wise guy
should, than I’m going
to sound like a broken record when I tell
you that I’ve cashed in eight of
the last 10 weeks of NFL play. The record
through the first 14 weeks of the NFL season
is a very profitable 10-3-1 with my Pick
of the Week.
No matter
what happens these last few weeks, it’s been a great season but
I know you want a few more weeks of winning
so I’ve got three more picks up my
sleeve.
I checked the board a few times before
making my pick this week as the schedule
has quite a few intriguing matchups and
a lot of intriguing lines. Especially interesting
is the game down in Tampa between the Falcons
and the hometown Buccaneers.
I know the Miami Dolphins are winless
this season but is there a team in the
league that is in more disarray than the
Atlanta Falcons? What a mess that franchise
is in.
As if losing
your star quarterback before training
camp wasn’t enough, a team
that now sits 3-10 had its recently signed
head coach skip town faster than Nick Saban
can fly from Miami to Tuscaloosa.
And if that
wasn’t bad enough,
players were running around the field Monday
night showing their support for their quarterback,
Michael Vick, who was just sentenced to
23 months in jail for his involvement in
a criminal dog fighting operation.
It was also
noted that the star of the Atlanta defense,
DeAngelo Hall, was running around the
field telling New Orleans coach Sean
Payton he wanted to play for him next
year for the minimum salary. It’s
one thing to know you want out of town
when free agency approaches; it’s
another to go out of your way to tell an
opposing coach you want to play for his
team.
Clearly,
all hell has broken loose in Atlanta
and the team is in an out-of-control
downwards spiral until someone can step
up and take charge. Even if someone began
to take charge, would the players listen?
They seem to be so lost at this point they
don’t care what happens on the field.
It’s a sad situation for an NFL
franchise and a tough situation for ownership
but it’s also a great time for bettors.
The Buccaneers steamrolled the Falcons
31-7 a month ago and now they host them
in their own park. Even better, Tampa Bay
quarterback Jeff Garcia will be making
his return to the lineup after missing
the last two games with a back injury.
Atlanta
is in so much disarray, you wonder if
they’ll show up on Sunday or watch
the games from the comfort of their homes.
Free
Pick: I’ll
take a team fighting for the playoffs over
a mess like that any day. Tampa Bay is
a great pick at -13. Take it or Leave it.

I say can, and likely will, blow up in
my face. Take my thoughts, or leave them,
simple as that.
