NFL picks--rest of Week 14

Last week: 7-9
Last night: 1-0
Season record: 118-59

Let's get to the rest of the picks and hopefully build on last night's success....


Pittsburgh at Cincinnati--The AFC North is pretty remarkable in that each team is above .500.  I can't figure out who will rise up and take the division, can you?  Bengals 26, Steelers 20

St. Louis at Washington--Jeff Fisher has his Rams playing really well.  We knew they had a killer D but raise your hand if you saw 52 points against the Raiders coming.  That's what I thought.  Redskins 19, Rams 16

NY Giants at Tennessee--In the big scheme, the Giants have kind of stooped to the bottom of the barrel after being upset by Jacksonville.  I think they have a better team than their record, but I can't pick them until they prove me wrong.  Titans 20, Giants 17

Carolina at New Orleans--Cam is just a shell of himself, isn't he?  The Saints smell blood and will take that crappy division.  Saints 38, Panthers 17

NY Jets at Minnesota--I think this Vikings team has the potential to be scary with Bridgewater and if he comes back, Adrian Peterson.  But meanwhile, they'll lose a lot of games while being fun to watch.  You can't say that for the Jets.  Vikings 22, Jets 16

Baltimore at Miami--Two teams fighting for their playoff lives, so expect a dogfight.  (sorry, Mike Vick!).  Ravens 23, Dolphins 20

Indianapolis at Cleveland--I'm not sure if  Brian Hoyer will respond to keeping his gig for now, or if he will hear the pitter patter of Johnny Football's footsteps.  I wanna pick the Browns but I think the Colts are just too good.  Colts 31, Browns 23

Tampa Bay at Detroit--There is just no way the Lions lose this game.  They are vying for the division against a talented Green Bay team and vying for a wild card too among some more great teams in Dallas, Philly, Seattle and Arizona.  This is a lay-up they can't flub.  Lions 27, Bucs 10

Houston at Jacksonville--The Texans are still in it at 6-6 but there are too many 7-5 teams to jump over.  But they have already overachieved based on last year in Bill O'Brien's first year.  Texans 28, Jags 20

Buffalo at Denver--Don't look now, the Bills are one of those aforementioned 7-5 teams.  But they are just going to be outclassed here.  Broncos 42, Bills 20

Kansas City at Arizona--The Cards have looked mortal losing two straight, but look for a rebound at home against a reeling Chiefs' squad.  Cards 19, Chiefs 16

Seattle at Philadelphia--One of the week's best games, and the Eagles can just about punch their ticket to January football if they win Sunday.  The Hawks are just 3-3 on the road while the Eagles are 6-0 at home.  That kind of gives a good indication.  Eagles 30, Seahawks 27

San Francisco at Oakland--Wow, four games in the 4pm ET hour!  Last week there were two and Red Zone showed two punts at once.  Seriously, they need balance in the weekly schedule.  Niners 37, Raiders 10

New England at San Diego--I credit Rich Eisen for this amazing stat--Tom Brady has the second best winning percentage in NFL history in December at 40-8.  But Philip Rivers is ranked first, with a 29-3 record in December.  Holy crap.  Patriots 27, Chargers 26

Atlanta at Green Bay--The Packers are 6-0 at home, and the Falcons are a fraud of a first place team.  That will be evident Monday night.  Oh and once again, what a crappy MNF matchup!  Packers 45, Falcons 21
