Week 15 Picks

It's coming down to the wire with three weeks to play! Gabe shortened Dave's lead to just two after a slightly less terrible Week 14.


On to Week 15 and tonight's unwatchable Jags-Falcons clash as well as the slightly-more-entertaining-for-sheer-comedic-purposes that is Cowboys-Bucs on Saturday night.


LAST WEEK
Gabe: 8-7-1
Dave: 6-9-1

SEASON

Dave: 103-99-9
Gabe: 101-101-9


Jaguars (+11.5) at Falcons


Dave: Falcons - Not as easy as a pick as it seems. For some reason, this Falcons offense is on cruise control so any preliminary thoughts of this being a 42-3 rout need to be tempered. The Falcons do stop the run well and that's really the only way Jacksonville moves the ball. Still, while this game will be hard to watch, I think we're looking at something closer to 28-10 than 35-0 because, other than Green Bay, nobody is really blowing scrubs out of the water on a consistent basis. Falcons by 14.


Gabe: Falcons
Cowboys (-7) at Bucs
Dave: Cowboys - I was tempted to go with Tampa given Dallas' December woes.....and then I saw this. On the one hand, Jay Ratliff flying off the handle at a reporter can be seen as a loss of composure. I see it, however, as bad news for the middle of Tampa's offensive line. The Bucs turn the ball over A LOT. Josh Freeman has 18 INT's on the season and RB LaGarrette Blount has lost five fumbles. Those numbers might not matter much against this shit-show of a secondary, but I'll take anger and desperation over talented and mistake-prone. Cowboys by 10.
Gabe: Cowboys
