Week 17 Free NFL Winning Picks 2008 and Hot Chicks: Back to Basics!
We went 3-3 last Sunday and are hoping this weekend is our chance to bring us back over .500 on the season. Just like the global economy, Team RPJ has been battling its own demons this year. On the season RPJ is 27-28, Flash Flash is 14-8 and Runny Pelvis is 19-36-2.

Yes call us stupid for bettting NFL games in week 17. We know the teams are a mess with who starts and who sits and who is playing for something and who is packing it in. We like to live dangerously and think there is some money to be made betting on teams that are playing for something.
Lions @ Packers (-11): This is the Lions Super Bowl and they have been competitive and they will be playing to avoid history. In the immortal words of the great Dave Chappell, “M-A-R-S, Mars bitches!!” We are rollin’ with the Lions in this one. Not only that, we think they win outright. Even if they don’t, this is way too many points. The Packers are terrible. Runny road-tripped to Chitown last Monday to sit in the cold and watch this crap team. That’s twise this year he has seen them suck it in sub-zero temperatures. They will again. Take the Lions and the points.
Rams at Falcons (-14): Rams are terrible and the Falcons are possibly playing for the division. Falcons are at home and playing one of the worst teams in football. Falcons win and cover big!
Pats at Bills (+5.5): With a win and some help the Pats can make it into the playoffs. A lot will depend on who wins the Jets/Fins game. Bills stink, have no defense and are not playing for anything. Pats win big and cover!
Browns at Steelers (-11): The Browns were a bigger favorite at the lowly Eagles. One of our readers posted to our fan page on Facebook and called this his 5 star presidential lock of the year. We agree. Take the Steelers to win big and cover!
We love you too Kristen Bell!
Flash Flash Picks
Oakland at Tampa (-13): We know the Raiders have zero chance of winning this game. I am not convinced they can even score. Bucs win big and cover!
Cowboys @ Eagles (-1): The Cowboys are terrible and soft, but they know they need this win. They want it more than the Eagles. We have no faith in McNabb. He will wear Demarcus Ware as backpack again. The Boys will do everything they can to lose this game, but so will the Eagles. The Boys win out right. Take them and the points.
Panthers @ Saints (+1.5): The Panthers need this win to win the NFC South. The Saints are hurt and are not plying for anything but stats. This is way to little points to give. The Panthers will win by at least a TD. Take the Panthers and give the points.

Be wary of betting against the g-men. Coughlin never likes to lose and plays every game like it is his last. I think 7 points is a lot to ask for the Vikes. runny and I fought inhouse on the Vikes-G-men so we left it off te board.
Love the Pats pick though.
I hate Jeff Tedford with a passion!!!!! Who starts a terrible QB in a bowl game ust because he is a retarded 5th year senior. the turd Sandwich thats who. A-HOLE.
LOL @ the Tedford thing.
The funny thing is that on the game winning TD that pass probably should have been picked off. All he had to do was run the ball 30+ times and they win by 25.
That wind in Buffalo is killing me right now, and good call on the Giants so far.
BTW, this was one of the best Browns games of the season for me. Knocking Roethlisberger out is the play of our year!h
Alright guys. For the second round of games:
Philadelphia -1. This is like destiny or something. The Bears and the Bucs or going to lose, giving the Bucs a “win and in” scenario. I never thought this would be the case…
Baltimore -10. They are by far the superior team and will come out and punch the Jags in the neck. The Jags have protection issues and that’s not good against a Ravens team who gets after the QB.
That’s it, and I’ll post later for the Chargers - Broncos game.
Finally RPJ game in with a 3-1 day. Yes I lost my Raiders bet but stiull made money on the weekend. What are you thinking for tonight? I want to take the Chargers but I do not trust them at all. Shanahan will punish me for being a Raiders fan no matter what I do.
I think I’m going to go Chargers if it stays at 7 or less. THINK.
As you can see, I’m kind of unsure.
I think I am staying away and pocketing my gains. I fully expect the Chargers to beat arse but I am not in love with the pick. this was the day of minus 1s. If I went minus one game in all of my teasers and parlays I would be a very rich man. damn minus 1s.
3-1 today.
I actually have a nice 4 team parlay riding on the Chargers, so I’m rooting for them but not betting separate.
I don’t feel strong enough to bet it so I’m not going to post it.
FF, all the Chargers games are too damn close…
Final results:
RPJ = 30-29
Runny = 19-36-2
Flash = 14-9
We wipe the slate clean for the playoffs. Love some of the matchups already.
I’m just going to make my NFL picks here in the reply, because I’ll be basing my 4:15 picks off of the results of the 1:00 games.
For 1:00, I’m going with the Vikings -7 and the Pats -5.5. In both cases, both teams are really hot and have more to play for. I think the Giants will rest their starters and not play as hard. To be honest, I don’t think they’d win on the road in Minny at full strength, but I digress. New England has hit their peak and should crush Buffalo, who’s season high was last week.
Just to keep track:
OVERALL: 18-13
BOWLS: 3-3
NFL total: 5-1
