(Click here to see current NFL Pick Em Standings -- week-by-week and YTD.)
This is getting to be a habit with the ugly weeks. Last week, Keller and I both bet heavily on upsets - and the upsets came even stronger. Also, I slipped farther behind in the standings. Thank you for still reading.
Jets at Broncos
I'll start this out with a road team pick. The Broncos are doing better than I'd expect, but the Jets are stomping the important games. Only concern is them pulling a Ravens after beating a hated rival twice this season.
Raiders at Vikings
Another road pick. The Vikings are just awful.
Bills at Miami
Three for three. Nothing more to report here.
Jags at Browns
Even matchup between two lousy teams. When in doubt, take the home team, in this case the Browns. But, if there's going to be an upset this week, this game has a very strong possibility.
Bungles at Ravens
Wow...this is a toughie. It's the absolute opposite of the above in every way. If you'd told me at the beginning of the season that there would be an important game between the Ravens and the Bungles this late in the season, I'd have told you that you were full of crap. And yet...here we are. The Bungles held their own against us last week, but we ran all over them early on. If they give the Ravens that opportunity at home, there's no chance. Baltimore had a big hangover last week and lost ground to us in the standings. This is a division game, and I don't see them doing it again.
Panthers at Lions
I hate to just keep picking the favorites, but again, here we are. The Lions choked majorly last week against the Bears, but they'll bring it back at home this week.
Bucs at Pack
I keep thinking that the Pack has to lose at some point, but every week I look at who they're playing and say, "not this week." Especially not at home.
Dallas at Skins
The Skins may be at home, but they've dropped three in a row, just when the Cowboys are really getting their act together. I see this one being a stomping.
Cards at Niners
Ditto the above, but in the home team's favor and by a lot more.
Seattle at St. Louis
This one is gonna be too close to call for a lot of people. Seattle had a huge win last week, and I hope to see them show the Ravens how you follow that up.
Titans at Falcons
Their records are tied, but the Falcons are the better team and at home.
Chargers at Bears
Bears are favored and at home...but I don't think so. The Chargers are geared for an upset, and I don't think the Bears are going to handle the win last week.
Eagles at Giants
Rivalry games can go any which way, no matter what the record...but the Dream Team never arrived, and the Giants have all the cards.
Chiefs at Pats
I feel kinda bad for the Chiefs. They're gonna get stomped the next two weeks.
Jets over Broncos
Raiders over Vikings
Bills over Miami
Browns over Jags
Ravens over Bungles
Lions over Panthers
Pack over Bucs
Dallas over Skins
Niners over Cards
Seattle over St. Louis
Falcons over Titans
Chargers over Bears
Giants over Eagles
Pats over Chiefs
