1) Saints (7-3) @ Cowboys (3-7)
I always love it when the Cowboys win, but it's time to remember the new goal for this season: get a top draft pick. We're all-but eliminated from the playoffs at this point, so let's keep our focus on remaining in the top 10 of the 2011 NFL Draft. Saints winners, Cowboys losers.
2) Packers (7-3) @ Falcons (8-2)
The Giants are the Back-Up QB Killers, and I think it's about time to label the Packers the Head Coach Killers. Two blow out wins over Dallas and Minnesota, two coaches handed pink slips the next day. Coincidence? I think not. Mike Smith, watch your ass, man.
Anyway, I know the Falcons are 5-0 at home, but they could easily be 2-3, so I don't think they're invincible there like a lot of "analysts" have led us to believe. Packers winners, Falcons losers.
3) Chargers (5-5) @ Colts (6-4)
It's a well-known fact that Peyton Manning is unstoppable in night games...well, that is unless he's playing the Chargers. Since 2007, the Colts are 1-3 against the Chargers overall, including the playoffs, and 1-2 against them in night games. In that same span, the Colts are 15-4 in night games against everyone else, including the Super Bowl XLIV loss to the Saints and the 2007 regular season finale when Manning and the starters weren't playing.
And even with all that being said, I'm still taking the Indy! Colts winners, Chargers losers.
4) Eagles (7-3) @ Bears (7-3)
Week after week after week I pick against the Bears and they burn me. Screw it, I'm gonna do it again! I won't believe they can beat Mike Vick until I see the shit with my own 2 eyes. Eagles winners, Bears losers.
5) Buccaneers (7-3) @ Ravens (7-3)
The Ravens are undefeated at home. I like that to continue Sunday. Ravens winners, Buccaneers losers.
6) Jaguars (6-4) @ Giants (6-4)
If Week 11 is any indicator, this could be a turnover battle of epic proportions. Each team had 5 turnovers last week (3 INTs and 2 lost fumbles for both), and playing out in the cold should only make it worse. Of course me saying that means there will be no turnovers in the game whatsoever, but either way, if the Giants start losing they can always just shut the lights off and try to escape like they did against my Cowboys. Giants winners, Jaguars losers.
7) Steelers (7-3) @ Bills (2-8)
Much like the Cowboys, the Bills are on a 2 game winning streak that will end in Week 12. Steelers winners, Bills losers.
8) Bengals (2-8) @ Jets (8-2)
I never seem to get this Thursday night game right, especially on Thanksgiving Day, but I'm pretty confident that the Jets will only have to play 1 half of this game to come away with a win. Jets winners, Bengals losers.
9) Chiefs (6-4) @ Seahawks (5-5)
This game really should be played on a neutral field because both the Chiefs and Seahawks are awesome at home and terrible on the road. Combined, these 2 clubs are 8-1 at home and 3-8 on the road (note: the 1 home loss came when Charlie Whitehurst had to play for Matt Hasselbeck). Seahawks winners, Chiefs losers.
10) Dolphins (5-5) @ Raiders (5-5)
I would like the Dolphins on the road, but I have no confidence their depleted offensive line can keep Tyler Thigpen (aka "Get Thiggy Wit It") standing upright. You know it's bad when your game plan is ruined when a guy who Cowboys fans were begging to get rid of (Cory Proctor) gets hurt. Raiders winners, Dolphins losers.
11) Vikings (3-7) @ Redskins (5-5)
Can Minnesota pull a Dallas and instantly turn things after their coach gets fired?? They don't have the benefit of an offensive coordinator (who was probably holding back the good plays) taking over, but I still think they can do it. Plus, if the Redskins struggled to put away FAU's own Rusty Smith, Brett Favre or Tavaris Jackson should have a field day. Vikings winners, Redskins losers.
(Side note: It feels good to have a fellow Owl in the NFL.)
12) Titans (5-5) @ Texans (4-6)
Speaking of Rusty Smith, looks like he could be the starter for the Titans Sunday now that Vince Young is on IR. This would be the greatest moment in FAU sports history if he does. How awesome would that be?? Yeah, I guess you're right, it's really not all that awesome.
If the Texans can't beat the pride of Boca Raton, AT HOME, then it's time to start over. Texans winners, Titans losers.
13) Rams (4-6) @ Broncos (3-7)
I wouldn't take the Rams on the road regardless, but especially not this week because they're a dome team going to Denver when the temp is dropping. Broncos winners, Rams losers.
14) Patriots (8-2) @ Lions (2-8)
This game really should be last because there's no more excruciating game to sit through that the Lions Thanksgiving game. When was the last time one of these was even competitive?? Can we leave get a new Thanksgiving Day team to co-headline with the Cowboys?? Patriots winners, Lions losers.
15) 49ers (3-7) @ Cardinals (3-7)
Why does ESPN continue to schedule this lame NFC West match up for Monday Night Football every year?? This is the 4th straight year we're gonna be forced into seeing this. ESPN, don't let it happen again next year. 49ers winners, Cardinals losers.
16) Panthers (1-9) @ Browns (3-7)
I can't see the Panthers winning again in 2010. Hell, I'm still not sure how they got the 1 W they have. Oh well. Browns winners, Panthers losers.
This Week: 10-6 (.625)
Overall Record: 104-72 (.591)
Last Week: 12-4 (.750)
