OK, so I’m writing this about 1/2 way into the Sunday early afternoon games, so no
beating around the bush. Here we... Wait, no. I refuse to use that slogan
because that beer sucks. Let’s do this thing!
Thursday Night Game
Chargers @ Broncos: BRONCOS – I knew the Broncos would
probably lose another game that was winnable; I just didn’t figure it would
happen in Denver.
Sunday Early Afternoon Games
Redskins @ Falcons: FALCONS – Falcons suck, but the
explosion in the Redskins locker room will probably lead to the last 3 games as
losses.
49ers @ Buccaneers: 49ERS – I know the West Coast early game
travel is always a bad omen, but the 9ers are riding high this week. They
aren’t going to be brought down by the lowly Bucs.
Seahawks @ Giants: SEAHAWKS – I was thinking about washing
this game out because it feels like a trap game, but the Giants are just so so
bad, I can’t think that the Giants can actually do something.
Da Bears @ Browns: DA BEARS – They looked great last week
against my Cowboys, but the Browns actually have a better defense. I don’t
trust Da Bears though, so I’ll WASH this out.
Texans @ Colts: COLTS – I’m tired of believing in the
Texans. It’s nearly as exhausting as trying to watch the Cowboys and find the
improvement on either offense or defense with different play callers this year.
Bills @ Jaguars: BILLS – Nothing riding on this matchup but
pride. Not much else to say, either.
Patriots @ Dolphins: DOLPHINS – The Patriots struggled
without Gronk most of the year. Now, they’re without him until next year.
Patriots will win their division, but look for them to be 1-and-done.
Eagles @ Vikings: EAGLES – This NFC East thing will come
down to Week 17’s matchup. Eagles are playing well, so it makes me nervous.
Watch for a tune-up match this week sans Peterson and Gerhart.
Late Afternoon Games
Jets @ Panthers: PANTHERS – I know the Panthers lost BIG
last week, and that felt SOOOOOO good, but they will take care of business
against this horrible Jets team. *sigh* Saying “horrible Jets team” again feels
SOOOOOO good.
Chiefs @ Raiders: CHIEFS – The Chiefs have a chance to keep
the AFC West within reach with that Broncos debacle earlier this week. If the
Chiefs win out and the Broncos drop one more game, the Chiefs will sneak that
division right back in their hands. Just sayin...
Cardinals @ Titans: TITANS – I don’t know why I’m picking
the Titans over the Cardinals. I’ve liked the Cardinals nearly all year, but
this just feels like a gut feeling to
pick the home team.
Saints @ Rams: SAINTS – I am LOCKing this game in. I figure
since Dylan is going to put his money where his mouth is, I’m going to do the
same with my pick at the #1 slot. The Saints have had some shake-your-head
games, but they sure do bounce back really well afterwards.
Packers @ Cowboys: COWBOYS – The Packers are just horrible
without Rodgers. This game would be nearly a lock for the Packers with Rodgers
playing, but I just don’t like this Packers team without him. The Cowboys have
also been outstanding at home this year. Their only loss is against the
super-powered Broncos offense.
Sunday Night Game
Bengals @ Steelers: BENGALS – I don’t like this pick, but
the Steelers are just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad this year, I have to believe
in the Bengals.
Monday Night Game
Ravens @ Lions: RAVENS – THIS game is my UPSET pick, and I
feel ultra-confident in it. I don’t care about the line, I care that the Lions
are doing their best to keep the other teams in their division in the race by
choking nearly all of their games in the 2nd half of the season. The
Ravens have come back to relevance as of late, and I think they show everyone
who they will be this playoff season.
