There isn't much prelude to this, and no records to record, so without further ado:
Thursday:
Carolina at Denver - Broncos (20-21 Broncos)
That Denver D is thirsty for Newton blood, and Cam already seems intimidated. And it is possible, probable, that Carolina will have a small problem with the rarefied air a mile high.
A heavyweight fight right to the finish.
Sunday:
Tampa Bay at Atlanta- Buccaneers (31-24, Buccaneers)
Just a hunch.
A good hunch. Bucs look good.
Green Bay at Jacksonville - Packers (27-23, Packers)
J-Ville is good, but they don't have Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers was the real difference.
San Diego at Kansas City - Chiefs (27-33, Chiefs)
KC Smash!
Fate cheats Phillip Rivers of his greatness, yet again.
Oakland at New Orleans - Raiders (35-34, Raiders)
Sadness, but inevitable.
Del Rio sports some clankers, don't he?
Cincinnati at New York Jets - Bengals (23-22, Bengals)
They are a complete team until they are not.
Where the hell was Derrell Revis?
Cleveland at Philadelphia - Eagles (10-29, Eagles)
The complete loss begins ...
Wentz looked pretty good.
Minnesota at Tennessee - Titans (29-16, Vikings)
Shaun Hill? Really?
The Purple D took over in the second half.
Chicago at Houston - Texans (14-23, Texans)
The Texans make a strong statement against the weakest of teams.
Not strong enough just yet.
Buffalo at Baltimore - Bills (7-13, Ravens)
Rex makes a false statement
I'm surprised, given the way the Bills played, that the margin wasn't more.
Miami at Seattle - Seahawks (10-12, 'Hawks)
Blowout, unless Wilson suffers NorthWest anxiety.
That Miami defense was something of a pleasant surprise.
New York Giants at Dallas - Giants (20-19, GMen)
Dak needs a game to get his feet under him.
Dak needs smarter receivers.
Detroit at Indianapolis - Colts (39-35, Lions)
Andrew Luck has a good day.
Luck did have a good day. The rest of the Colts suck. And Stafford has smarter receivers. I like the way the Lions look, even without Megatron.
Sunday Night:
New England at Arizona - Cardinals (24-21, Hatriots)
The punishment of Goodell. The Cardinals destroy the Patriots.
I refuse to accept Brady as the GOAT until this Belichick Death Star actually loses to teams they should lose to when they don't have him. And I heard a rumor that the Card's defensive backfield was better than anyone's. That's not my diagnosis.
Monday Night:
Pittsburgh at Washington - Steelers (38-16, Steelers)
Doubts form around Kirk Cousins.
That, my friends, was a whupping!
Los Angeles at San Francisco - Rams (0-28, 49ers)
Ugly. Ugly game. Does Gabbert go down this game or next?
It was ugly all right. The Rams looked worse than the Browns with 3 times the talent.
You picked the Titans twice but have no pick for bears/Texans.
Worst game of the week has to be Eagles Browns. Eagles are tanking without their own first round pick?
Good you have the bills last in afc east (hope abounds) even though you picked them this week. Ravens are old & have no playmakers so it's a good call
Ryan brothers are a hot plate of sloppy joes, you're right about that.
Mack is awesome - still root for him from his days tearing it up at UB just not in week 13
The YC is calling tommy and Gisele home. Without him billy chick might as well be coaching the Browns again.
Sorry in advance about your broncos. No qb = no chance in nfl. There's always last year though.
Sincerely,
A bad football expert

The Titans - Texans mix up has been fixed. Brain dysfunction.
I still have faith in the Bronco defense, even without a quality QB. Great article on NFL.com today about the Quarterback position. It's a great read.
