Game of the Week
Houston Texans at Chicago Bears. I have been looking forward to this game since last week. Both teams are 7-1 and are arguably the two best teams in the NFL. I have to give the edge to the Bears because they will be playing at home – and it’s a prime time matchup (Sunday Night Football on NBC). This should be a good, hard-hitting, low-scoring game. Super Bowl preview perhaps? Bears 17, Texans 13.
Ass-Whupping of the Week
Steelers over Chiefs. I was THIS close to choosing the Ravens-Raiders game, but this is too obvious. The Chiefs are bad offensively. They have yet to hold a lead in a game this season. Meanwhile my Steelers are hungry, they are playing at home – and this is a Monday Night Football game. Case closed. Steelers 30, Chiefs 10.
Upset of the Week
Saints over Falcons. Yup, I am calling this one. New Orleans has had Atlanta’s number over the last few seasons (the Saints have won 10 of the last 12 games in this series). For some reason, the Saints get up for the Falcons. That will certainly be the case Sunday. After all, the Saints will be playing at home, fighting for their playoff lives, and would LOVE to spoil their arch-rivals’ undefeated season.
Thursday Night’s Game
Colts over Jaguars. The Colts have to be the story of the year. Hard to believe they lost to those guys at home…
Sunday’s Games
Giants over Bengals (think the G-Men are a WEE-bit pissed off right now?)
Dolphins at Titans
Lions over Vikings
Patriots over Bills
Buccaneers over Chargers
Broncos over Panthers
Ravens over Raiders
Seahawks over Jets
Eagles over Cowboys (“Underachievers Bowl” Take 2)
49ers over Rams
Last week’s record: 10-4
Record to date: 75-41

Well, that means I might be the kiss of death, so… Lol
