Seahawks vs. Packers -7 (2 units) - well I bought a point again pulling this down from -9. I think by game time the spread might even head south to this level anyway so I'd advise to wait it out. The public favors Seattle but by no means is it overwhelming at about 65%. The Seahawks defense really stepped it up last week against my Skins, something which surprised most of the nation I think. Shaun Alexander just looked average again but Hasselbeck had some nice throws that he can build on. The Packers offense is much more balanced and potent compared to Washington. Favre still has an amazing arm and his WRs have great hands. Look for Donald Driver to have at least 6 receptions tomorrow, although Marcus Trufant handled Santana Moss pretty well but Driver is bigger and more physical. Green Bay has a nasty LB core, a decent pass rush and a skilled secondary... somewhat comparable to the Skins but still better overall. Holmgren and Hasselbeck come back to GB where they'll be used to the cold weather. Maybe Matt won't be a prick again if this goes into OT... "We want the ball and we're gonna score!" Packers all day baby as they still surprise the nation with surprising play.

Jaguars +13.5 (3 units) vs. Patriots - a decent line for this game as the Patriot backers got away without having to deal with the hook if this were 14.5 instead. Majority of the money so far is on Jax at near 65%, I think mostly because of the high line and underdog betting during the playoffs. This will be the most physical team the Patriots have seen in a few weeks and probably the best team to match up against them too. New England has faultered a bit late in the season, almost losing a few games but making miraculous comebacks towards the end to win it. You have to wonder if they were just toying with us or if they really are losing some mojo? It's hard to tell but this game could go either one of two ways. A) Patriots come out with 2 quick 1st quarter TDs and just keep pounding Jax to a 41-17 victory, or they come out kinda flat and let Jax hang around with good defense but still end up winning 27-23. I'm not sure which it'll be but I'll be taking the points regardless. It's always nice to have the best RB combo in the league on your side.

But he is the greatest of all time. I know cause he said so and wrote it on the internets and if its on the internets it has to be true.

Default Sat NFL picks

I don't feel confident at all with who will cover the spreads or even who wins SU on Saturdays matchups
Going to play them both for over. Good weather, cool but no wind & no snow- both matchups want to play from a lead.
Seattle/GreenBay over 42.5 - 1 unit
Jacksonville/NewEngland over over 49.5 - 2 units
