Well this should be one boring week in the NFL, no seriously it should be. There aren’t many compelling matchups this week and most people (experts and bloggers) all like the same winners. It’s a fairly predictable weekend, that does mean we’ll be in for one or two surprises but nothing to exciting. From a viewer perspective I hope I’m wrong.

Here’s the picks, home team in caps.

DALLAS 31, Washington 17
GREEN BAY 27, San Francisco 24
Pittsburgh 17, KANSAS CITY 13
MINNESOTA 34, Seattle 20
DETROIT 16, Cleveland 13

NEW YORK GIANTS 27, Atlanta 21 – After the bye week the Giants defense is a lot healthier, even with the loss of Antonio Pierce. It’s a big blow but this team knows they can’t lose a fifth straight game, I expect the offense to come out and taking some big shots early.

LOCK – New Orleans 37, TAMPA BAY 17 – No Reggie Bush is not a problem, its the Bucs they’re playing.
JACKSONVILLE 23, Buffalo 16

Indianapolis 30, BALTIMORE 20 – The Ravens defense has looked a lot better recently but I still don’t think they’ll slow down the Colts attack.
Cincinnati 24, OAKLAND 13
San Diego 31, DENVER 23
Arizona 30, ST. LOUIS 14

NEW ENGLAND 27, New York Jets 20 – Lots of bad blood as always in this game. Early on this season the Jets were riding the emotions of a new coach, a new quarterback and a new style. Now the new QB looks like a new QB. The new coach? Looks like a new coach. And that new defensive style? Is starting to give up plenty of points. They’ll be a far different outcome this time, especially with the Pats having something to prove after Week 10.
CHICAGO 24, Philadelphia 21

UPSET – HOUSTON 27, Tennessee 21 – This is the closest to an upset this week. The Titans are on fire but still 3-6, while the Texans are in the middle of the Wild Card pack at 5-4. The difference between the two is the Titans are starting to look like the ones that belong in the playoffs.
