I won’t lie. I’m a little bit upset about having to make my picks on Thursday night instead of the customary Sunday morning right before the game. At least I get to watch football tonight. Although, I think this game is going to be a stinker.

Tough picks abound for this week. Even the crappy matchups are tough to pick. Who will stink more? Who knows. Let’s hope I at least get the gimme games.

Chicago at San Francisco √

This one is tough. Both teams are kind of in a slide. I’ll go with San Francisco.

New Orleans √ at St. Louis

Gimme #1.

Tampa Bay at Miami √

Gimme #2. Although, I did go against Tampa Bay last week and lose.

Detroit at Minnesota √

Gimme #3

Jacksonville at NY Jets √

Buffalo at Tennessee √

Tennessee on the up and up?

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh √

I won’t bet against Pittsburgh this week. Tough matchup though.

Denver √ at Washington

A couple weeks ago this would have been a gimme game. Not so sure now though. Washington stinks though, and I think Denver will use this game to get back on track.

Atlanta √ at Carolina

Kansas City √ at Oakland

Seattle at Arizona √

Dallas √ at Green Bay

Dallas at the head of their division. Who’d have thunk?

Philadelphia √ at San Diego

New England at Indianapolis √

This hurts. I don’t think New England is going to get it done in the dome. Indy is going to have a big surprise though playing a good team.

Baltimore at Cleveland (See If It Sticks®)

Picking Cleveland? I must be crazy.
