I went 10-6 in NFL picks last week, jumping to 112-81. Lucas went 12-4, defeating me once again, to move to 126-67. The margin is growing again.

IND at TEN: IND. The Titans are banged up and overrated, start losing already!

STL at KC: KC. This pick has more to do with the Rams' general crappiness than it has to do with the Chief's 49-0 stomping of the Cardinals last week.

BUF at NE: NE. Another chance to watch Bledsoe get outcoached. I'm enjoying it much more from the other side.

SF at DAL: SF. Remember when these used to be good games that determined who would go to the Super Bowl from the NFC? Now it's just another opportunity for Terrell Owens to embarass himself.

HOU at PIT: PIT. Tommy Maddox was unconscious for a few hours after a big hit in a game 3 weeks ago, now he's already back on the field. He makes Terry Glenn look like even more of a pussy.

ATL at TB: TB. After living in Atlanta for 9 years of my life, I still stubbornly refuse to believe they have a good team.

NYG at WAS: WAS. I literally flipped a coin to decide which of these crappy teams I would pick. Steve Spurrier.

CIN at CAR: CAR. I almost picked the Bengals, but Carolina did so well without any offense last week that they should theoretically do well against the pushovers in Cincy.

CLE at JAX: JAX. These meaningless games are really hard to pick. The Browns have some injuries so I think the experienced Jags will take care of them.

NO at BAL: BAL. One week they lose to a bad team, the next week they beat Tampa Bay. Their stars are half-injured, but still playing. It doesn't look good for the Saints, especially since ex-QB Jeff Blake has something to prove.

DET at AZ: DET. Good God, NFL, how do you schedule games like this?

PHI at SEA: PHI. Philly could put me in at quarterback (and may need to at this rate) and still beat the Seahawks' defense.

OAK at SD: OAK. I'm still waiting for the Raiders' December swoon, but the Chargers just aren't this good and it's about time their record showed it.

DEN at NYJ: DEN. The AFC west has outclassed the east all season, and things won't change now.

MIN at GB: GB. The Vikes inexplicably beat the Packers in Minnesota a few weeks ago, but now they have to play in the nightmare that is Green Bay in December.

CHI at MIA: MIA. Dolphins December collapse or not, the Bears suck.
