Thursday Night Football Pick

RobertGriffinIIIMy Overall Record: 84-49

Washington @ Minnesota

Washington has played a little better over the last month. They’re still in third place in the NFC East, but Robert Griffin is slowly coming along and regaining his form from a year ago. The Redskins are more than capable of moving the ball on a Minnesota defense that has been torched by opponents passing games all year.

The Vikings came close to an upset of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but gave up a touchdown during the game’s final seconds. Its been a rough season complete with three different starting quarterbacks, and Leslie Fraizer has come to learn that Adrian Peterson can’t carry the entire team on his shoulders.

The Redskins need every win that they can get to keep their season alive. I don’t think the Vikings can string together another solid effort.

Pick: Washington 27, Minnesota 17

Denny, you have been pretty damn good on your picks. Little better than me. 8D
My pick- Washington 20-13. Snoozefest.

I like the Vikings in this one as Peterson
Has another big game as well as a coming out game for WR
Coradelle Patterson against a very shaky Redskin Secondary
and I can see him breaking a big Kikckoff Return as well
QB Ponder plays well enough for Viking Win

I don’t think anyone watches this game-
Stanford vs Oregon and Baylor vs Oklahoma are more compelling. I’ll probably watch Flyers vs NJ and regret it, as usual this season.

I am looking forward to the Oregon-Stanford Game
I believe QB’s Mariotta & Hogan will be the Top 2 QB’s for the 2015 Draft
(I believe neither QB is looking to enter the 2014 Draft)

There are a good 8-10 NFL Prospects that will be on the Field when these 2 Teams face off tonight// Here is a quick list and Prospect Rankings on some Players that Coach Kelly is very familiar with, help recruited and Coached at Oregon and against playing Stanford

From Oregon —
Ranking #16 Overall – CB Ofo-Ekpre-Olomu (5-10 185lbs – Top CB in Draft)
#80th Overall – Center Hroniss Grasu (6-3 300lbs – 2nd Rankded Center)
#94th Overall – RB/Returnman De’Anthony Thomas (5-9 175lbs – A great little but explosive Scat Back and excellent Returnman and the Type of PLayer that Coach Kelly is craving to add to the Eagles Roster.. Don’t be surprised to see Eagles move to him in the 3rd/4th Round)
#145th Overall – OLB Baseko Lokombo (6-3 235lbs)
#153th Overall – WR Josh Huff (6-0 202lbs)
#200th Overall – DE Taylor Hart (6-6 287lbs)

From the Stanford Team
#27 Overall – DE Trent Murphy (6-6 261lbs – I Project him as a poor man’s
JJ Watt/Paul Kruger type of DE/OLB who can line up all over the place.. Watch for this Murphy for I think he will be a very good Pro Player)
#100 Overall – DE Josh Mauro (6-6 282lbs – more of a Hands on the ground DE and would fit a 3-4 Scheme very well in the NFL Level)
#104 Overall – ILB Shayne Srov (6-2 245lbs – A little undersized but always areound the Ball, sound tackler, good in pass coverages, Special Teams, High Football IQ .. could be a great mid-round pick-up)

Enjoy the Game
