[DarthFed]

Dolphins @ Pats - Pats
Lions vs. Chiefs - Might as well go with the Chiefs
Bucs @ Falcons - Atlanta
Cards @ Browns - Cards but this will be close
San Fran @ Rams - Rams
Giants @ Saints - Tough one to call but will take the home team. Saints suddenly look relevant
Vikings @ Bears - Going with Minny
Chargers @ Ravens - Ravens
Bengals @ Steelers - Bengals
Titans @ Texans - Texans
Jets @ Raiders - Another tough one but I will take Oakland
Seahawks @ Cowboys - like many Dallas games...it would be a good one if they had Romo and Dez. Instead it is all Seattle
Packers @ Broncos - The bye came at a good time for both teams. Adams is back for GB and some rest for Cobb and Lacy should've helped. Odds say GB drops 1 of the next 2 games and I'd rather it be here than @ Carolina. I will pick Denver but like pretty much every game...this is one GB "should" win on paper

Colts @ Panthers - Picking the upset here. Colts are desperate and Luck will show that he still has game. Panthers are a legit good team but not 6-0 good.

Congrats Darth on a great week. Your Packers really laid one the other night. The terrible Bears and the horrid Cowboys even scored more than 10 points in their defeats. Game of the week was Giants @ Saints w/ the Mon night game running a close 2nd.

Never thought for a second that this team has improved from last year. One thing that helps though is that this is really a down year for the NFC. Carolina might get the #1 seed (they almost certainly will if they win Sunday) but they are not the Seahawks of the past 2 years. Having Rodgers might be enough to win the NFC even with the deadweight and the horrific coaching staff. A game like Sunday can only be good for Rodgers going forward. Like the rest of the team he was embarrassingly bad on national TV and he will respond.

 

[DarthFed]

Browns @ Bengals - Cincy
Packers @ Carolina - In theory a humiliating loss like that might make them come out fired up and play a good game for the first time in about 5 weeks. But I'm not counting on it. This team, including its megaworld QB has had a lot of problems on the road against good defenses the past couple years. Carolina is not Denver but I still pick them to win. GB has to show they can beat a good team on the road, because quite honestly it hasn't happened for a few years now.

Redskins @ Pats - Pats
Titans @ Saints - I didn't know Brees and New Orleans still had it in them... they are suddenly looking very relevant again. They go over .500 with this bye.
Dolphins @ Bills - Picking the Bills. Two underachieving teams that might get to 9-7 this year.

Rams @ Vikings - A good defensive struggle. If the Vikes win, and I think they will, they suddenly are tied with GB for the division if the Packers lose. However, the Vikes cupcake schedule turns brutal in the 2nd half.

Jags @ Jets - Jets
Raiders @ Steelers - Steelers rebound. Oakland is up and coming but I don't see them beating a good and desperate team on the road
Giants @ Bucs - Giants
Falcons @ 49er's - Falcons
Broncos @ Colts - Obviously Denver right? Nope, I'm going with the Colts. Desperate team playing for their coach's life with a young and great QB rightly being criticized for playing God awful. Denver is probably flying too high after last week and is prime for a letdown.
Eagles @ Cowboys - Eagles
Bears @ Chargers - Who cares...great Monday night choice NFL. Guess I will pick Chargers

 

[kskate2]

Browns @ Bengals - Cinci
Packers @ Carolina - After that display last week I can't pick the pack to beat an undefeated again.
Redskins @ Pats - N.E.
Titans @ Saints - NOLA
Dolphins @ Bills - Bills w/ a pretty good defense
Rams @ Vikings - Minny
Jags @ Jets - Jets
Raiders @ Steelers - Pitt
Giants @ Bucs - I picked the Giants last week and they couldn't stop NOLA in the 4th Q. But the Bucs aren't the offensive arsenal like Brees and company. Giants
Falcons @ 49er's - ATL, but it wouldn't surprise me if Frisco socks it to them. ATL has looked vulnerable the last couple of weeks.
Broncos @ Colts - We disagree here. The last few times Peyton has gone to Indy he's been an emotional mess, but I think they will play well this time. Indy will lose another close one.
Eagles @ Cowboys - Philly
Bears @ Chargers - You're right. I definitely don't care. Can barely pick the Bears at home, really can't pick them to defeat a mediocre team on the road. Bolts will take it.

Good pick on the Colts, but now Luck is out for a few weeks w/ a lacerated kidney. Yikes!

[kskate2]

I'll take the Jets tonight

 

[DarthFed]

Bills @ Jets - Jets

Lions @ Packers - If GB doesn't blow them out then it is time to panic because they play @ Minnesota the week after. The team looks more awful than I could've imagined. This is the price they pay for keeping the God awful coaching staff around and for Ted Thompson's build through the draft BS. It's blowing up in their face and they do look destined for a 5th straight year of chronic underachieving. They'll win Sunday but I bet it will be close

Cowboys @ Bucs - Cowboys keep their season alive
Panthers @ Titans - I actually think Titans have a good chance here. Mariota is actually playing pretty solid (figured he'd be a bust). That said I will pick Carolina in a close one.

Bears @ Rams - Rams
Saints @ Redskins - Saints
Dolphins @ Eagles - Eagles
Browns @ Steelers - Huge game for Pitt who will be without Biker Ben. I think Pitt grabs it
Jags @ Ravens - Ravens
Vikings @ Raiders - Close one to call but I think Oakland takes it
Pats @ Giants - Pats
Chiefs @ Broncos - Broncos
Cards @ Seahawks - Seattle
Texans @ Bengals - Bengals
