DEC. 27, 2009 NFL PREDICTIONS

WAS +6.5: everyone is remembering how bad the skins played last MNF and forgetting the Boys are still 2-9 ATS in December. I'll fade the public. Redskins 18-Cowboys 21 (4 units). loser

OAK +3: If Frye starts, the Raiders should win. Brady Quinn is done for the year. The Raiders have had more impressive wins without Jamarcus. Score: Raiders 14-Browns 10 (3 units) loser

OAK/CLE UNDER 38: both offenses are averaging less than 14 pts per game and both using scrub QBs, I'll take the under. (4 units) **WINNER**

TB +14: divisional games with DD dogs are very enticing.  The Saints may be the better team, but without the need for a victory, New Orleans should be getting ready for the playoffs.  Score: Buccaneers 21-Saints 33 (4 units). **WINNER**

TB/NO UNDER 49: the bucs are riding 5 straight unders and playing a divisional foe. Despite the Saints prolific offense, I see them easing up the final two games. (5 units) **WINNER**

HOU +3: the Fins do not fare well against quality QBs, the likes of Peyton, Brady, Rivers or Brees.  Shaub falls in the category of quality QB and since the Texans need the game, I'll fade the Fins. Score: Texans 24-Dolphins 21 (3 units) **WINNER**
