Oldmans NFL Picks For Saturday 12/27

[oldmanTED]

Three games being played today all with playoff implications. New England with a win can lock up home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. Seattle with a win can put pressure on both Green Bay and Minnesota as only two of these teams will get in if all of them win. Finally, Philadelphia needs a win to put pressure on St.Louis for home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. With that backdrop in place, I will have two plays today as follows:

1* Two Team 7 Point Teaser with New England (-1.5) and Philadelphia (-0.5)
1* San Francisco/Seattle Over 44.5

Overall Unit Record YTD (All Sports): (38-19.9) 65.63% 3*(5-1)(+11.7) 1*(23-15-1)(+6.4)
Overall W/L Record YTD (All Sports): (28-16-1) 63.64%
NFL Record YTD: (4-4-1)(-2.7)
NCAAF Record YTD: (9-1)(+13.9) (Bowl Game Record 7-1 Included)
NBA Record YTD: (4-3)(+2.7)
NCAAB Record YTD: (11-8)(+4.2)

Plays are rated 1*-5*

Good Luck All!

Ted,

good luck with your plays tomorrow. I agree with everything except Eagles as I think with Vincent out, Skins play a lot of 3 and 4 receiver sets and run right at that #28th ranked rushing defense with Rock Cartwright who will start for Skins. With Spurrier naming him the starter, Skins plan on a ball control power running game that keeps this one close. Also, Akers is struggling a bit and I am wondering about his psych. Good luck.

o.m.t...i`m with you.......the skins are in disarray....personnel changes looming....power struggle between snyder and spurrier has become a public issue....

skins running backs are banged up....and although everyone rails on the philly run defense,the skins are being shredded themselves.....the bears ran for close to 200 on them last week.....

i would think that the skins are more apt to lay back to back eggs than an andy reid coached team with bye motivation....

and always have much more faith in the eagles on the road....

would i lay 7?......no.....but,i like the teaser....

g.l.

Kojak:

Glad to see you agree. As for the Eagles, note I don't have them straight up as I too was concerned about laying such a hefty number on the road in DC. That's why I teased. Just need the win which I think they will get.

Sphincter:

Great to have you on the same sides as well, and I feel the same way about Washington just was concerned about the number, thus the tease.

Good luck to both of you today.

SSI:

I will try to let you know the teams that I am leaning too. Can't guarantee that I will have made the selections to be posted but they will be the teams that the selections will come from.

 

[SSI]

thanks ted, i got lucky on the ne/buff under, every once in a while these are nice to get.. lets see what SF can do now..

 

[oldmanTED]

SSI:

I will leave my leans in this thread so you can find them easily. Good luck with SF. I wouldn't mind seeing them score 45 points by themselves.

ted, i left at halftime for a while, 28-0 and thought (no chance), and then only 3pts in the 2nd half.. nice to be lucky, lets hope seattle's road woes continue and jeff garcia has another big game,, good luck on the totals but i have no opinion..
