Late but not forgotten, here come the picks! I’ll start with a dose of honesty: I picked the Broncos. I had doubts because it seemed like a trap game and the coach was on his couch watching, but I still believed in the D. They did what they could… and still lost.
Jets over Cards
I’m going to be at that game all geared up in green. Don’t screw it up, Fitz. Yes, you. It all falls on your accuracy or lack thereof. You’ve been throwing like crap lately and without a valid secondary to make up the gap, you gotta throw better.
Giants over Ravens
I’m not going to give up on my team. They even played better last week, in spite of the loss. They fought hard, but without a run game the team floundered. It might be time for a trade. There is nothing in the backfield and nothing on the waiver wire.
BUF over SF
No coincidence that the Niner’s removed the injury clause from Colin K’s contract before starting him. The Bills are hitting out of control. They’ll continue that tendency this week. Trust me, mobile QB’s are not the plan against the Bills. They scrimmage against Tyrod Taylor…
CHI over Jax
One QB fighting for a job, one QB running for his life… Maybe it is the same QB. Either way he’s gonna win the game.
LA over DET
Rams need a win and are finally putting the pieces together. GurleyTrain is leaving the station and they are getting the ball to Austin in space. Things are looking up.
ATL over SEA
This is a tough one, but after ATL started playing like they did the last two weeks I cannot deny their ability. SEA still needs to show me.
IND over HOU
They just need it more. The teams are evenly matched, but Luck wants this win so bad…
No Contest Games
PIT over MIA
NE over CIN
CAR over NO
TEN over CLE
GB over DAL
OAK over KC
Some Thoughts:
- It is impossible to deny the cool generated by President Obama. Dude is just on it all the time. Not because he is acting, but simply because he is that guy. Guess what? Nobody else is that guy. Not Hillary and not Trump. The former lacks any substantive humanity and the latter is just a privileged ass who never got punched in the face though he really should have many many times. Big league. He is who Jerry Jones would have been had Jerry not grown up tough. Thanks for not being an ass, Jerry.
