NFL Picks This Week
UPDATE: 6-7 this week...16-9 for the last 2 weeks!
After going 10-2 last week I thought I would try my luck again this week. The teams playing are a little more evenly matched so the picks are much harder...my caveat if the picks go poorly!
Minnesota @ Chicago Bears 24-17 Cutler admits he's bad...will bounce back
Houston @ Cleveland Texans 28-10 Defense wins this one. Maybe 2 Def TDs
Seattle @ Kansas City Seahawks 24-13 Toss up in KC but Wilson comes through
Atlanta @ Carolina Falcons 17-14 Newton hurt? Falcons D just good enough
Cincinnati @ New Orleans Saints 30-21 Saints start their charge today
Tampa Bay @ Washington Redskins 21-13 Battle of not good teams
Denver @ St. Louis Broncos 35-10 Offense + Defense win for the Broncos
San Francisco @ NY Giants 49ers 28-24 SF needs to stay ahead of Seahawks
Oakland @ San Diego Chargers 21-17 Oakland 0-10 looking for QB in 2015 draft
Philadelphia @ Green Bay Eagles 24-21 Why? I'm not sure. Gut feeling.
Detroit @ Arizona Lions 28-14 No QB for Cardinals. Stafford and Robotron
New England @ Colts Patriots 27-17 Brady teaches Luck a lesson in legacy
Pittsburgh @ Tennessee Steelers 31-21 Roethlisberger recovers and so does D
