Football picks round 1

Well football season is winding down again, so I'm going to pick the first round winners just in case any of you now 18 year olds feel like gambling on the games.

Cardinals vs. Falcons: Cardinals by 3 or less points
This game is going to be close. The Cardinals aced their division, but that's like opening a can with a stinger missile. It's not very hard. The Falcons have done well also, so that will keep them in the running. The Cardinals haven't been in the playoffs in a while, so it's going to be a little unfamilliar at first, but once they get their groove going, things will start to work out. The game will be very close though. It will either be decided by the Cardinals making a field goal or the Falcons missing one.

Colts vs. Chargers: Colts by less than 10 points
It's going to be close. The Chargers have been doing pretty well all season and they've put up some great numbers, but the Colts are doing really well recently and I don't think that even the Chargers will stop them, but it's going to be a close game.

Dolphins vs. Ravens: Ravens by 14 points
Two names that last year I never would have expected to write down now, but here I stand, doing just that. The Dolphins have been doing well all season, but when they win, it's often somewhat close. From what I've seen out of the Ravens (which admittedly isn't a lot), they are going to come out strong and walk over the Dolphins early, then hold a lead with a solid defense.

Vikings vs. Eagles: Eagles by 7-14 points
The Vikings can try all they want, but the Eagles will walk all over them and will possibly even beat them by a couple touchdowns. If not that, the Eagles will probably win by at least 10 points. I have little faith in the Vikings.

unfortunately i agree with your picks overall so there won't be much betting going on. i do hope that the dolphins go all underdog pwnage on the ravens, but i wouldn't bet on it. we should have some football parties before i leave.
