The season is into the playoffs for most of you. I’m betting many of you are fretting over who to start especially with Dallas at Pittsburgh and Washignton at Baltimore. I’m recommending to look at the west coast games for more points and yards. Here’s a look at this week’s Starts and Benches.

QB - Shaun Hill
RB - Tim Hightower, P. Hillis

DST - Bucs

10-6 is pretty damn good week.  I lgot off to a good start with a 2-1 Thanksgiving picks and I closed well with a 5-1 finish with Sunday afternoon, Sunday night and Monday night games.  Week 13 brought my season totals to 102-87-4.  Looking at Week 14, there is yet another game on Thursday.   This week seems like there are a number of outstanding favorites.  That usually spells trouble!  Sportsbook

OAK (+9.5) @ SD
CHI (-6) vs. JAC
PHI (+8) @ NYG
MIN (-10) @ DET
GB (-6) vs. HOU
IND (-13.5) vs. CIN
NO (-3) vs. ATL
TEN (-14) vs. CLE
BUF (-1) vs. MIA
KC (+8.5) @ DEN
SF (+4) vs. NYJ
NE (-4.5) @ SEA
STL (+13.5) @ ARI
PIT (-3) vs. DAL
WAS (+6) @ BAL
CAR (-3) vs. TB

SurvivorWell at least I warned you about the NYJ tanking against DEN.  Unfortunately I still picked a loser in Buffalo.  This week seems very easy.  Indianapolis should win by 3 TDs over CIN.  Be wary of picking SD and DEN in division games.

As some wind down the season and some head into the playoffs, many of you need to find a diamond in the rough to fill in a key spot.  Here’s my top recommendations at each position.

1. RB Sammy Morris/Kevin Faulk - NE plays against a bad Seattle team! (close 2nd is Chester Taylor)

2. WR Ginn Jr/Bess - Miami plays Buffalo in Toronto!

3. QB Schaub - He’s back and GB can give up points!

4. TE Dustin Keller - Great in PPR leagues!

5. K Garrett Hartley - Sleeper as NO plays tough ATL team!

6. DST Arizona - STL turns the ball over a lot! (Colts are good pickup as well)
