I'll do the picks right now. That way, I won't forget.
Week 12 Schedule:
Green Bay at Detroit - Green Bay is due for a weird loss, however, I'll go with the better odds and give them a win. Packers
Oakland at Dallas - Bruce Gradkowski? What? I don't understand. You mean, if the Raiders had a QB who didn't give away the game, then they actually have a chance at winning? I'm not quite sure I understand. Oh well. This game is tough to pick, due to Dallas' horrible offensive output. It doesn't get any better with Nmadi coming to Big D. However, I'll have to make another odds call. Cowboys.
NY Giants at Denver - I guess McDaniels was quoted as saying "We own you!" to certain Chargers players. Way to go, Josh. The Broncos have run into a pole, and they can't quite get over the shock. Giants.
Tampa Bay at Atlanta - Atlanta is being highly uncharacteristic lately. They lost a game they should have won against the Giants, but then again, NY was due for a win. Josh Freeman isn't disappointing, however, he needs to take better care of the football until he can become a good quarterback. Falcons.
Miami at Buffalo - Miami has a new dimension when coming to Buffalo this Sunday: it might actually be nice outside. That's not good for a Bills team that usually owns Miami in the cold at Buffalo. The Bills will get another chance to torch a shoddy secondary with Fitzpatrick taking the snaps, throwing to his quick receivers Lee Evans and Terrell Owens. This may be my inner Bills fan talking here, but the only way the Bills can be beat in this one is through the run game, and although Ronnie Brown is out, Ricky Williams played exceptionally well against the Panthers. Bills.
Cleveland at Cincinnati - Cincinatti came up with a fluke loss this past Sunday to Oakland, but they'll be alright. If they're lucky, Brady Quinn will make some mistakes, as usual. Even better, they could get Derek Anderson to flat out gift wrap the game for the Bengals. Bengals.
Carolina at NY Jets - Another tough match. The problem is that Delhomme is going to be pressured more than ever this weekend, and we all know how that one ends. Look for Jake the Mistake's interception total to be on the rise, and for Rex Ryan to stop crying and just win a football game. Jets.
Washington at Philadelphia - The same thing that happened the first time will happen again. Donovan can get right by this one by allowing DeSean Jackson to get behind the Redskin secondary by teleportation, just another alternate method from what he usually does: running. Eagles.
Indianapolis at Houston - In a rematch, I'm going to give my first upset of the week. There will be only one undefeated team after this game, as Houston should be pretty emotional in this one, and this time they're at home. Texans.
Seattle at St. Louis - I can confidently go with Seattle for this one, and that's tough confidence. However, Mark Bulger is out with a fractured tibia, giving Kyle Boller the nod for starting job. Sucks for the Rams. Seahawks.
Kansas City at San Diego - Now that Todd Haley isn't a retard and has realized that he has great talent in Jamaal Charles, Kansas City still doesn't stand a chance against a hot Chargers squad intent on stomping the Broncos in the AFC West like they usually do. Seriously, the Chargers should just go 0-8 next year to start, because no matter what, they'll eventually catch up to the Broncos. Chargers.
Jacksonville at San Francisco - Frank Gore vs. MJD. MJD had an off game against a shoddy Bills run defense. Frank Gore has been on and off since his return to the 49ers after his injury. So, with that, I think (and I can't believe I'm saying this) that Alex Smith is the better quarterback, and he has the ultimate safety valve in Vernon Davis. If not, just dump it off to your explosive WR Crabtree. 49ers.
Arizona at Tennessee - Tennessee is HOT. Vince young is keeping his mistakes at a minimum, and Chris Johnson is just a monster. However, after we realized that Kurt Warner was faking a concussion (just kidding), the Cardinals are dangerous as well. I think it'll be the Cards to slow down the Titans in this one. Cardinals.
Chicago at Minnesota - No explanation necesarry. Vikings.
Pittsburgh at Baltimore - Depending on who starts: if it's Roethlisberger, Steelers. If it's Dixon, Ravens. I'm going to guess it's Dixon, so I'll go Ravens.
New England at New Orleans - Wow. The Patriots are losing to top teams. Imagine that! New Orleans is a top team, and they finally have a defense to show for it. Saints.
Also, for next season, I was thinking we set up some sort of point spread, like the betting system. I think it would give us a little more of a competitive edge. Just a suggestion.
