Huhn's Week 17 Picks

Jets +3 at Dolphins

A virtual toss-up as far as we are concerned and Hambone likes the Jets for some reason; they must have been on TV when we used to have that magic cord that brought the world into our TV.

Patriots -10 vs. Bills

If I recall the Pats have their playoff position wrapped up but even when they don’t care and their backups are playing they should still be 10 points better than the Bills

Texans +2.5 vs. Titans

Probably the best logo in the NFL gets Hambone’s attention lately.

Colts +3.5 at Jaguars

The Horseshoes are a favorite because when we learned about shoes, we needed to know what kind of shoe a horse wears. Hard to argue with that.

Redskins +8 at Eagles

“Hey Dad, do we get to pick the Skins today?” “Sure thing Hambone.” It only seems racially insensitive when you type it after it comes out of a three year olds mouth.

Bears +1.5 at Vikings

Going against Hambone on this one. Just on a gut feeling, even if it is picking the least crappy of the crappy options.

Saints -8.5 vs. Panthers

The Swords should have this one in the bag, unless we get backdoored by Cam.

49’ers -10.5 at Rams

Maybe Hambone is coming around to the power of the Harbaugh, maybe he somehow knows that the Rams are awful, probably it’s mostly just that the Rams logo is bad.

Lions +3 at Packers

After two weeks of liking the G’s, Hambone suddenly prefers the Lions. I’ll trust his gut.

Ravens +1.5 at Bengals

I like the Bengals this year, mostly because I like young guys doing well over experienced guys. I always hated the “you don’t have any experience” line, especially from incompetent people.

Browns +6.5 vs Steelers

Hambone just doesn’t like the Steeler logo. Pittsburg has been up and down this year so I’ll hope for a poorish showing and somehow the Orange Helmets will keep it with in 7.

Broncos -3 vs Chiefs

Tebow. 100 picks couldn’t sway the kid that actually does “The Tebow”.

Seahawks +3 at Cardinals

Seems like something should be riding on this but Seattle is out of it. Carroll is good in games that don’t matter – which is true of most of his USC games.

Chargers +3 at Raiders

Hambone has ridden one horse in his life. Its name was Bolt. That’s enough to choose it over a pirate looking logo that resembles Darth Vader. Raiders are bad finishers, I’ll agree with the boy and go with Rivers.

Falcons +11 vs. Buccaneers

Too good not to cover against a horrible team. Hambone likes the Bucs, but I disagree and until he can type. I get the final call.

Giants -3 vs. Cowboys

The Giants are better than the Cowboys late in the season. Hambone doesn’t know who Tony Romo is but knows that Icebox O’Shea is always good in the clutch.
