Never say never, but I don’t think I’ll ever be this late with picks again. With time against me, I’ll simply make my picks with a very brief entry as to why.
–
Buffalo at Kansas City
- Favorite: Kansas City (via NFLPickWatch.com)
Kansas City’s on a roll and Buffalo’s inconsistent.
Winner: Kansas City
–
St. Louis at Cincinnati
- Favorite: Cincinnati
I don’t even need to explain this one.
Winner: Cincinnati
–
New Orleans at Houston
- Favorite: Houston
Like with Buffalo at Kansas City, Houston’s on a roll and New Orleans is inconsistent.
Winner: Houston
–
Tampa Bay at Indianapolis
- Favorite: Indianapolis
Tough choice, but I think Indianapolis has a bit of “Save Pagano’s job” magic going on right now.
Winner: Indianapolis
–
San Diego at Jacksonville
- Favorite: Jacksonville
San Diego this year is the Jacksonville of 2013. They may not win another game.
Winner: Jacksonville
–
Miami at New York
- Favorite: New York
Miami’s a bad team, but I’m choosing them to upset a struggling New York defense (now without Darrelle Revis).
Winner: Miami
–
Minnesota at Atlanta
- Favorite: Minnesota
More people are picking Atlanta than I would’ve expected. It baffles me.
Winner: Minnesota
–
New York at Washington
- Favorite: New York
Another tough choice, but I like Tom Coughlin late in the season.
Winner: New York
–
Oakland at Tennessee
- Favorite: Oakland
The tides sure have turned for Oakland. Once heavy favorites against Minnesota, now they’re light favorites against Tennessee.
Winner: Oakland
–
Arizona at San Francisco
- Favorite: Arizona
Lol.
Winner: Arizona
–
Pittsburgh at Seattle
- Favorite: Seattle
Much like Arizona at Seattle a few weeks ago, I like Pittsburgh to test the Legion of Boom and succeed.
Winner: Pittsburgh
–
New England at Denver
- Favorite: New England
A likely defensive battle, I trust Tom Brady more than Brock Osweiler.
Winner: New England
–
Baltimore at Cleveland
- Favorite: Cleveland
Joe Flacco, Justin Forsett, and the entire 2012 defensive line-up aren’t starting for Baltimore.
Winner: Cleveland
