Quick NFL picks

Colts (-7) vs. Chiefs: Everyone is expecting this game to be a high scoring affair with LJ ripping through the Colts like a knife through warm butter while Manning picks apart the Chiefs suspect secondary. I somewhat agree with these assesments but think that the Colts D will step up a bit and the Colts will mix in a bit more of Addai and Rhodes than people think.
Prediction: Colts 31 Chiefs 21

Seahawks (-3) vs. Cowboys: This is a hard game to call. Both teams have had split personalities all year. Alexander is finally healthy but the Cowboys have a very good run D. Their pass D however, will be exposed as Holmgren will run a 4 WR set early and often in this one. Romo's inexperience will also come into play as the Hawks possess a decent pass rush and will force him into some fumble or Ints. Owens will likely burn the Seahawks once or twice but it won't be enough.
Prediction: Seahawks 24 Cowboys 17

Patriots (-8.5) vs. Jets: The Jets have had a miracle season of sorts and Mangini has done a superb job coaching his team up. They have a stout D that could cause the Pats some problems, especially if they can establish the run themselves and open things up for Pennington and his spaghetti arm. I see a close Pats win with the Jets covering.
Prediction: Pats 21 Jets 17

Eagles (-7) vs. Giants: Upset special. The Giants have underachieved all year, but I suspect they are going to play with no pressure and Eli will step up. Add in a 150+ yard performance from Tiki and you got yourself an upset over Jeff "smells like a rat" Garcia.
Prediction: Giants 30 Eagles 20

To me, football players are like tiny little insects flitting across a TV screen. Talk about paranoia. A very happy new year to you too. I think you've found what i havent.
