My record last week improved to 2-2, 3-5 overall. The coin had a prefect week and is 6-2 over the first two weeks. With only three games left it's a pretty sure bet that I won't be catching the durn thing this year. On to the games!
Jets at Colts (-8)
Not sure what to make of the Jets. They have a very good defense and a strong will to run. In many ways, they were lucky to even make the playoffs and now they're only a game away from the Super Bowl. On the other hand, how to you bet against Peyton Manning? Simple, you hedge. I think the Colts will win but they haven't really been winning big this year. It's easy to see them win by less than a touchdown here. I'll take the Jets to cover but probably not win.
The coin says...Colts.
Vikings at Saints (-3.5)
These are very evenly matched teams. The Saints run well and the Vikings stop the run well. Both teams pass well and neither team defends the pass at a high level. The Minnesota running game has struggled but Adrian Peterson is so dangerous that opposing teams must honor him. The Vikes have an edge on special teams. New Orleans has the advantage of the home crowd.
Hmmm, if the Vikings can weather the very fired up first few minutes from the Saints then I think they can take the game over and win. I'll pick the Vikings to win (quell surprise!).
The coin goes with the Vikings too.
