I finished last week 8-6 which brings my overall record to 52-38. Who do I have to thank for my oh so mediocre showing? The Cardinals and the Ravens to start with. The Seahawks losing to the Panthers calls into question the 'Hawks defense. And the Bears...my, my, my...the Bears lose in OT to the winless Lions.
And, of course, the Giants on Monday Night Football. The Eagles and the Giants combined for 7 turnovers and 19 penalties in one of the most hard to watch MNF games ever. Is the NFC East still the dominate force it was?
Well, on to this week:
Seattle @ San Francisco (W)Seahawks 21-17 I hope a division rival wakes up the 'Hawks
Buffalo @ Jacksonville (L)Bills 20-16 I hope London takes the pressure off the Bills
Minnesota @ Detroit (W)Vikings 28-24 The Lions can't start a win streak...can they?
Atlanta @ Tennessee (W)Falcons 28-17 Falcons back on track
New Orleans @ Indianapolis (L)Colts 20-17 No trick plays Pagano...okay
Pittsburgh @ Kansas City (L)Steelers 24-23 Reid may be fired after this game
Cleveland @ St. Louis (W)Rams 21-19 Rams at home not a sure thing
Houston @ Miami (W)Dolphins 23-17 Campbell...has he turned things around?
NY Jets @ New England (W)Patriots 28-23 Signature game for both teams
Tampa Bay @ Washington (L)Bucs 17-16 Neither team ready for playoff time
Oakland @ San Diego (L)Chargers 24-20 Chargers win at home...I think
Dallas @ NY Giants (L)Cowboys 21-20 Giants looked really, really bad on Monday
Philadelphia @ Carolina (W)Panthers 28-17 Cam's the man...and Philly is not very good
Baltimore @ Arizona (W)Cardinals 19-16 Could be the upset of the week
The Ravens have lost every time I pick them so they probably win to put me at 13-1. Check back during the weekend for my triumph.
The Bills give away 21 points and wonder why they can't win! The Steelers are very odd...one week great and the next lose to the Chiefs. Same with the Colts! How can the Buccaneers be bad enough to lose to the Redskins...Go figure! Thank God for the interception of Flacco or I could very well have lost that game in OT. The Cowboys are lost without Romo! Maybe Da Raduhs are legit!
So I finished 8-6 again! I'm at 60-44 overall...hardly where I should be!

Buffalo Bills Hire Rex Ryan as New Head Coach
The Buffalo Bills have hired ex-Jets coach Rex Ryan to fill their head coaching vacancy.
The Bills are coming off a 9-7 season in which they showed signs of getting back to their great years. They have not made the playoffs in 15 years.
The hiring of Ryan is, in some corners, perplexing. Ryan has always been known as a defensive minded coach and not so in touch with the offensive side of the ball. His Jets finished 4-12 this season with many questioning Ryan's ability to improve Geno Smith's performance at QB and his propensity to rely on a run game that was keyed on after poor quarterback play. The Jet defense was above average.
The 2014 Bills seemed to be in the same straights as the Jets. Their defense was very good but the offense was forced to rely on Kyle Orton at QB who was unable to compete with the likes of the Patriots.
If nothing else, the Bills have stirred up interest in the Buffalo area.
Read the entire ESPN article here and decide for yourself if the Bills will be better off in 2015 under Coach Ryan.

Brian Hoyer threw a TD pass to Travis Benjamin with 1:09 left in the fourth quarter to complete a dramatic comeback. The Browns were down 28-3 before the offense and defense took over.

It was also the Brown's biggest comeback since 1966 when they cameback to beat the Giants 49-40 after being down 34-14.
