Thursday Morning preview of Thursday Night football.

Week 13 Predictions heads up: 12-4

Week 13 Predictions against the Spread: 7-9

Record so far: 92-67



Sorry for the lack of Tuesday morning/night recap things have been crazy lately with my other work projects ramping up quite a bit. However there will still be a weekend preview up this Friday no worries.



Indianapolis @ Tennessee


Indianopolis - 4

This face= interception for touchdown

As far as a Thursday preview goes this Colts Titans game could end up being the season for either team. Right now the Jaguars are ahead of both of these teams with a tie breaker on both of them. They’re one game ahead of the Colts and 2 ahead of the Titans. If the Titans lose this game I think they’re mathematically eliminated and if not they’re realistically eliminated. As far the Colts go they can afford to lose this game a bit more than the Titans can because they still have a home game against the Jags. However the Colts have already lost 3 straight they don’t want to make it 4 and possibly drop two games behind the Jags. I don’t know where Chris Johnson or the Titans offense has been these past few weeks but they had better show up because as bad as Peyton Manning has been playing; and he’s played terribly mind you, he’ll still blow out the Titans team that’s taken the field the past few weeks. The hope for the Titans is that the porous Colts run defense will allow them to finally get a ground game going with Johnson and set up Kerry Collins for the play action pass. Collins was absolutely exposed last week without a running game and it was hard to tell how they improved with him over Rusty Smith. The Colts pretty much just have one key to victory: Peyton Manning needs to stop throwing touchdown passes to the other team. Its honestly that simple when you give up 2 defensive touchdowns a game you’re going to lose. I’ve picked the Colts for the past two weeks and I have to do it again. As bad as Peyton's been the Titans have been worse. Colts in an ugly one to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. 


Colts 27


Titans 10

Thursday Preview: Lunchtime prognistication

Be on the lookout for the weekend preview this Friday night, but I wanted to make sure I got my Thursday preview up before the game tonight. This was written from my desk during lunch so excuse any missteps. Also Handsome Joe Garcia likes the Texans in this game so either way somebody on my team will get this pick right.

Houston @ Philadelphia

Philadelphia -8

Watch out Asanate Samuel

Houston at Philadelphia should be an offensive showcase this Thursday night as both of these teams have the firepower to take advantage of two defenses that have shown incredibly poorly in the past few weeks. The Eagles defense was torn apart by Jay Cutler last week and it only gets harder having to face a Texans team that gets to take advantage of an unsuspended Andre Johnson;  luckily the birds are at home. The Eagles passing attack is one of the tops in the league and they're facing a Houston pass defense that finally put together a solid game only it was against Rusty Smith a 6^th round rookie from Florida Atlantic. In shootouts like this I tend to take the home team, but the Eagles are getting 8 points in this match up and I don't think they'll beat anybody by that much the way their secondary played last week. However Asante Samuel has practiced all week and he is the best player in their secondary. adding him back to the mix could push this from a close shoot out to a semi blowout in favor the Green American Birds.

Eagles 38

Texans 34
