Right again on Thursday Night! Begrudgingly right, but right nonetheless. There's a lot of opportunity to get proven wrong, with so many teams having seasons that are totally opposite from last year. So, let's just get to it. Here are my heels-on-the-gridiron picks for this week.
Green Bay v. Baltimore: Green Bay. I'm told Joe Flacco is an elite quarterback. But all I can see are a Ravens team missing a whole lot of elements. For tomorrow, I go Green Bay. Tough game, but I'm picking the Packers all day.
Cincinnati v. Buffalo: Cincinnati. I like what Buffalo has been doing, but I'm not sure they've got the magic touch just yet.
Detroit v. Cleveland: Detroit. The Browns are having a great season for the time being, but I still can't say they are better than the Lions.
St. Louis v. Houston: Houston. At least, it should be Houston if Matt Schaub can keep the uniform colors straight.
Oakland v. Kansas City: Kansas City. I'm still riding the revenge and bitter train with Alex 'n' Andy.
Carolina v. Minnesota: Minnesota. The Vikings will be playing harder than they've ever played in honor of AP's son. Tragedy often brings out the fight in people.*
Pittsburgh v. NY Jets: Jets. Something is just off with the Steelers.
Philadelphia v. Tampa Bay: Philadelphia. Apparently Tampa Bay is still suffering from the drama that is getting a new girlfriend.
Jacksonville v. Denver: Denver.
Tennessee v. Seattle: Seattle.
New Orleans v. New England: I'm going with New England -- but only because I'm told that the Patriots is to Drew Brees as the Cowboys were to Brett Favre. Just oddly unbeatable, even if they have the better team.
Arizona v. San Francisco: San Francisco.
Washington v. Dallas: Dallas. In my super qualified medical opinion, RGIII came back just too soon -- and Washington is suffering because of it.
Indianapolis v. San Diego: Indianapolis.
*Side note? There's a special place in hell for people who kill babies.
