Pitiful Picks: Can the Dolphins get back to winning?
49ers -4 over Titans
The Titans are missing their quarterback, but this pick is more about the 49ers. They have found their way and appear set to keep pace with the Seahawks in the AFC West. Their defense is playing better and their offense is scoring points. Give up the 4 points and take the 9ers. Prediction: 49ers 31 Titans 24
Colts +7 over Broncos
This is exactly the type of pick that has gotten me into a 10-14 hole. BUT, I think Andrew Luck and the Colts will give the Broncos all they can handle Sunday night. The talk all week has been about Peyton Manning and how much he was hurt by getting cut by the Colts. The forgotten man is Andrew Luck. And if you saw what the Cowboys did to the Broncos defense a few weeks ago, you should know that Mr. Luck will be able to throw the ball at will. I think this game will be a shootout and I think the Colts hand the Broncos their first loss of the season. Prediction: Colts 38 Broncos 34
Bills +9 over Dolphins
Hold the phone, don’t panic people! I know the Dolphins need this game and I am confident they will win. In fact, I picked them in my survival pool. BUT, until their offensive line can show me that they can play like big boys, I can’t see them blowing anyone out. The Bills defensive front (see: Mario Williams) is good and will give the Dolphins problems this afternoon. However, I think the Dolphins still win this game by a touchdown. I think the coaches have used the bye week effectively and will do some things, schematically to give Tannehill more time, help the running game, and get Mike Wallace involved more. I just think the 9 points are too much for the Dolphins to be favored, considering their struggles in their last 2 games. Prediction: Dolphins 27 Bills 21
