After a stretch of two brutal weeks, Doc Brown finally turned things around with a 10-6 week ATS in Week 14, and a 2-1 week on the top 3. Doc’s off to a strong start in Week 15 after nailing the Thursday night game as well. That means things are really looking up for Week 15.
Let’s take a look at the picks:
(ATS = Against the Spread, SU = Straight Up)
As you can see, both Doc and Del are making a play on the New York Giants this week. Why? Because they let us down so often, we thought it was only right to give them a chance to do it again. Actually, Doc feels like Eli Manning tends to shine in really big games especially against undefeated teams like this. This is just the sort of contest where he can sneak up with four touchdown passes and the Giants can catch Carolina sleeping.
Doc also likes the Houston Texans straight up. Yes, they got creamed by the Patriots last weekend, but that was to be expected. This is different. Their passing offense should go off against Indy, and their defense will give the barely-alive Matt Hasselbeck fits. He might even get knocked out of the game in this one.
Doc also does not think much of Johnny Manziel and thinks he is in for a brutal showing against the Seahawks. Topping the crappy 49ers is one thing, but not a hot Seattle team that has been playing great. They’re going to eat his lunch.
