Texans @ Jaguars
The two most horrible teams face off in what is the must-watch game of the week; maybe of the season! Haha no, but actually this game will probably have the most relevance on next year, as it will determine who gets the first pick in the draft. (Also, the Texans are the only team that makes me pick the Jags)
Jaguars 21 - 17
Colts @ Bengals
The Colts and Bengals are both fighting for one thing this week: who faces who in the 2nd round of the playoffs. The only problem is I'm not sure who would be worse: Denver at home, or New England at home. I actually think the Colts would rather play Denver as they have already beat them once this year.
Bengals 24 - 20
Browns @ Patriots
Man this is a tough one to pick... I mean, with New England playing at home and the Browns losing to the Jaguars last week... only God knows who'll come out on top in this one.
Patriots 38 - 17
Raiders @ Jets
While the Jets have been an absolute mess this season (and who could have predicted that *cough* me *cough*. The Raiders have actually been not as bad as anyone would have thought. A little fantasy advice: Start Andre Holmes. He'll do well against the Jets pre-K secondary.
Raiders 24 - 13
Chiefs @ Redskins
I'm guessing the Chiefs are tired of losing after 3 in a row. Luckily, the Redskins are an easy bump off, because the only thing they are playing for is a lower draft pick.
Chiefs 27 - 20
Vikings @ Ravens
The Ravens need to win this game. And they will.
Ravens 24 - 14
Falcons @ Packers
Tempting to pick the Falcons here, because without Rodgers, the Packers look like they couldn't beat a bunch of high-schoolers in a pick up game, but the Falcons haven't exactly been setting the world on fire either. If the Packers lose this game, Rodgers isn't coming back this season.
Packers 21 - 20
Bills @ Buccaneers
I may be way off base, but I still believe in EJ Manuel. Plus the Bucs are awful. I don't care that they've won the last couple games. They're still awful.
Bills 17 - 14
Dolphins @ Steelers
The Dolphins have all but fallen out of the Playoff race, while the Steelers still have a glimmer of hope especially if the Ravens lose some of their upcoming games which is very possible considering they have to face the Lions, Patriots, and Bengals to finish off the season. The Steelers want this more and will take it at Heinz Field
Steelers 24 - 20
Lions @ Eagles
This will be a hard fought game, but as usual, the Lions will shoot themselves in the foot in the fourth quarter and lose.
Eagles 27 - 24
Titans @ Broncos
I predict a hard fought game.
Broncos 42 - 14
Rams @ Cardinals
The Cardinals may make the playoffs for the first time since Kurt Warner retired, but to do that, every game from this point forward is a must-win. I think they get it done at home.
Cardinals 27 - 20
Seahawks @ 49ers
The old grudge match. While it was the Seahawks defense that embarrassed the 49ers last time they met, this time with Russel Wilson and the offense clicking, it'll be the offense that gets it done.
Seahawks 31 - 24
Giants @ Chargers
If the Giants even want to have a shot at the playoffs, they have to win their division. They lose this game on the west coast, but lucky for them, so does the Cowboys (see below).
Chargers 27 - 21
Panthers @ Saints
This is the best game this week if you ask me. Seattle / SF is close, but there's a reason why this game got flexed to SNF. I predict this one will go down to the 4th quarter where I trust Brees a little bit more.
Saints 31 - 28
