Cardinals vs. Falcons
The Cardinals have loss 5 straight. Their team is beatup and the defense is tired and frustrated. I don’t know about other fans but I know I am already looking for remedies for next season. They still can play spoiler, especially since they’ve played in some close games many times this year. If they manage to keep up with the Falcons they have a chance.
Pick: Falcons
Browns vs. Cowboys
The Browns are the best 2 win team in the NFL. The Cowboys show at times that they should be better than their 4-5 record. Then other times you go, oh right, thats why they have a losing record. This game could very well be close, closer then the 8 point spread. But I’m still going Dallas.
Pick: Cowboys
Packers vs. Lions
Just when I thought you know, maybe the Lions can make a late push and surprise some people. They lose to the Vikings which would have made it 3 wins in a row. Now they face the ever
dangerous although beat up Packers. If Nelson plays I see the Packers winning. If he doesn’t I think it’s more of a toss up. Gennings being out so much this year has slowed down what was the best offense in football last year (well tied for first maybe with New Orleans).Pick: Packers
Bengals vs. Chiefs
The Bengals are just another one of those teams you expected to be better this year. After a hot 3-1 start they drop 4 in a row. Then they put a womping on the struggling Giants. As long as Dalton and Green are on the field together, this team could hang with anyone. This week they have their weakest opponent of the season. They should be ok.
Pick: Bengals
Jets vs. Rams
Both of these teams haven’t looked that great. I’ve seen some rankings that really like the Rams though. I guess when you look at each team the Rams are less of a mess.
Pick: Rams
Eagles vs. Redskins
This one was a tough one for me. I am actually really excited to see an offense by the Eagles that flows through McCoy and not through Vick. I think his absence in the offense might just facilitate
that. Right? We will see how rattled Nick Foles gets. The Redskins will be putting points on the board as longs as RG3 doesn’t get too crazy and puts himself in a position to get hurt again. Pick: Eagles
Buccaneers vs. Panthers
The Bucs are on a roll. They have won 4 of their last 5 and now take on an inconsistent Panthers team. If Martin gets involved early and Freeman keeps being efficient, rack up another win for this Tampa Bay team.
Pick: Buccaneers
Jaguars vs. Texans
My upset pick of the weak, is not this game. The Texans really should destroy the Jags. Now we saw the Jaguars keep up with the Packers so they aren’t that bad right? I just don’t see it happening.
Pick: Texans
Saints vs. Raiders
The Raiders are an odd team and often times I never know what to expect from them. They are inconsistent. They manage to almost beat the then undefeated Falcons then barely squeak by the lowly Jaguars. Now Palmer could very well just go off against this defense with big long plays from Moore and check downs to Meyers but can they really keep up with Brees?
Pick: Saints
Chargers vs. Broncos
The Broncos are looking scary. I mean like one of the best teams in the AFC scary. Manning is a MVP candidate to some and he only builds on his case after each game. If this game were close, I wouldn’t be shocked. I also wouldn’t be shocked if the Broncos lay into the Chargers.
Pick: Broncos
Colts vs. Patriots
Ok this really is my upset of the week. I am drinking the Andrew Luck Kool-Aid. This team looks alive and excited. They aren’t out there struggling to not get their ass kicked behind Curtis Painter. They are out there competing week in and week out. Wayne has proved he isn’t that old yet and can still dominate opposing defenses. They will have to score a lot of points I think to keep up with the
Pats. If however, Hernandez and Welker (who are both questionable) don’t play. Lookout.Pick: Colts
Ravens vs. Seelers
Both defenses are beat up. The Steelers are without starting quarterback and main reason they are 6-3 this year, Big Ben. The Ravens, well they have their offense in tact. I believe Leftwich gets the start. I just don’t see Byron carrying this team the way Roethlisberger does.
Pick: Ravens
Bears vs. 49ers
In this one we have another starting quarterback out. Now if they weren’t playing the 49ers defense I would say it wouldn’t matter. The offense could be more Forte focused but against this rush defense? No way. The 49ers are going to have to get a little creative to score as well. This could be a very close game regardless of who is at quarterback for the Bears but I’m going with the healthy offense.
Pick: 49ers
