These Thursday games just aren't happening for me. Two admittedly wrong picks announced 3 days after the fact.
DALLAS over Washington
Just when you think Washington is completely hopeless, they beat the Denver Broncos. But I remain under the impression that the Broncos are actually deceiving everyone, evidenced by their 3 straight losses. Dallas wins at home to remind us how bad the Broncos actually are.
DETROIT over Cleveland
It seems to be getting just a little old; every week I proclaim that there might not be a worse game in the history of the NFL. Again, we are treated to a pair of 1-8 teams vying for "worst team in the NFL." This 2009 season has officially been a painful one to watch for just about any NFL fan.
GREEN BAY over San Fran
And suddenly Green Bay is back in the game. Thanks to the Eagles, the Giants and - you guessed it, San Fran - the Packers are very much alive for a playoff birth. The Packers can crush the 'Niners season with back-t0-back home W's.
Pittsburgh over Kansas City
"The day that Marvin Lewis sweeps a season series from the Steelers when the division lead is up for grabs is the day that Elton Brand ever comes close to averaging a double-double again (9 points and 5 rebounds per game as of today)." Yep, I said that a week ago. The good news - looks like Elton Brand is on his way back to being an All-Star!
NY GIANTS over Hotlanta
Can the G-Men really lose 4 games in a row? This one is sure no gimme, in a potential game of the Wildcards, this one is important for both teams, but probably a little more important to the Giants with Divisional Title hopes still in grasp. That's why the Giants pull this one out at home.
Nahhhhhlins over TAMPA
The Saints only have 1 game that they could lose (on paper) for the rest of the season, which is next week versus the Patriots. On other words: they have a really good chance of going undefeated in the regular season
JACKSONVILLE over Buffalo
Dear Buffalo,
When you lose this week you will officially be in discussion for "Worst Team in the NFL" along with Detroit, Tampa, Oakland, Washington, and Kansas City, quite an extensive list. No one really seems to know just how bad you actually are, but fear not because you have the chance of showing off your stink-ability (yes, I wrote that) in Jacksonville today.
Love,
Zach
Indy over BALTIMORE
If ever there was a game that could save a season and ignite a fire under Ray Lewis and company, this would be the one. Lose this, and the playoffs are going to be a stretch for what originally looked like a sure-thing. Having the home crowd could really affect this game, but what will affect it further is the fact that Peyton Manning is on the other side. Will this man ever lose another big game? The only question here remains - just how big of a game is this for the Colts?
MINNESOTA over Seattle
While watching the Lions hang around with the Vikings last weekend, the Vikings showed just how good they are. They managed to turn a relatively close game for 3 quarters into a 17 point blowout. Even on a not-so-hot day, the Vikings didn't even make it close.
Arizona over ST LOUIS
Can the Cardinals pull away at last? Now that their running game is taking shape with Beanie Wells, they are looking much more formidable.
NEW ENGLAND over NY Jets
Bye-Bye Jets season.
Cincinnati over OAKLAND
Is Cinci actually for real? The team with 8 arrests in one season can't possibly be a first place team over the Steelers and Ravens can they? When will they lose a stinker?
San Diego over DENVER
The Chargers are hot, the Broncos are not.
Eagles over CHICAGO
I don't have much to say on the Eagles right now. All I know is that last weeks loss wasn't that bad because Dallas lost too.
TENNESSEE over Houston
The Vince Young experiment is looking good for right now. But all Vince Young-isms aside, how is this the Monday Night Game? I could understand a 4:15 game because of the "you stole our team" rivalry thing, but... Monday Night Football? Really NFL schedule-makers? Really?
Season: 90-51
