2009 Suicide Pool Pick - Week 12
26 11 2009Our Week 12 suicide pool picks in the order we’d choose them.
1. Dallas Cowboys vs. Oakland Raiders
Regardless of how anemic the Cowboys offense has been the past three weeks, the Raiders present about as easy a matchup as the Cowboys could ask for on Thanksgiving. Dallas’s running game (Barber, Jones and Choice) should run for over 200 total yards on the Raiders front seven and that will open up things for Romo and the passing game.
Defensively, the Cowboys, who have played much better over the past month, will create havoc for Bruce Gradkowski and the Raiders offense.
2. Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins
Games between these two teams are usually close. That being said, it’s hard to envision Washington stealing one in Philadelphia since they’ll be forced to play with their 3rd string RB (Cartwright) with both Portis and Betts out.
Making the Skins one dimensional will allow Trent Cole and Co. to pin their ears back and get after Campbell forcing him into sacks and turnovers. Offensively, McNabb and his talented young receivers will end up being the deciding factor.
3. Arizona Cardinals vs. Tennessee Titans
The Cardinals are usually horrific on the road but will make it six for six away from home in 2009 on Sunday. In a game which is currently a pick ‘em, look for Warner to attack Tennessee through the air and for Fitzgerald and Boldin to have a field day against Tennessee’s suspect secondary.
Wells and Hightower are both running the ball well and this will provide the necessary balance for the offense. Defensively, the Cards will stack the line to contain Chris Johnson and force Vince Young to beat them through the air.
