Prediction for Thursday's and Saturday's Game

I was undefeated in non-prime time games last week and winless in primetime games. 13-3 still isn;t a bad addition to the record. I am now at 119-61, but now is when the picks get tougher, not knowing when the top teams are going to rest thier players or when the bottom-feeders will rise up to play the spoiler. Thursday's game is the perfect example of that.

IND at JAC Winner: IND


This pick is much trickier than most would think. Yes, I know that Jim Caldwell said that he was going to play all the healthy players and that they were prepping for this game the same way they have for all the games till now. The problem with that is that I don’t believe him. I think that if they’re up by more than touchdown in the late third and fourth quarter, he won’t hesitate for a second to yank his starters and sit them for the rest of the game. It doesn’t help that the Jaguars have a very strong runner in Maurice Jones-Drew and the Colts aren’t a great run defense. I’m still picking the Colts on the precaution that Caldwell was telling the truth, just with much trepidation.

DAL at NO Winner: NO

The Cowboys are likely playing without DeMarcus Ware. Is there any other reason I need to pick the Saints? Not having your best pass-rusher against Drew Brees is not the formula to upset the Saints.
