NFL Picks

One of my favorite things to do here at the R-J is participate in the weekly staff NFL picks that appear on page 2 of the Sunday sports section. Picking every game against the spread is a real challenge. It also gives me a reason to keep tabs on all the NFL game. Finally, I like competing for bragging rights against other staffers. I’ve just completed my picks for this week and will give our online readers a sneak peek at some of my favorites. I really like the Ravens getting 4.5 on the road against the Colts. My other favorite is the Falcons getting 2.5 at home against the Bears. Both the Ravens and the Falcons feature rookie quarterbacks and that usually makes me shy away. But both rookies have played well and have good surrounding casts. I also like the Packers getting 2.5 on the road against the Seahawks. The Packers may be the best 2-3 team in the league. Check out the rest of the staff picks, including the staff consensus, in the Sunday Record-Journal.
