Busy week so I'm going to get my picks in early for once, just in case the turkey escapes from the gallows and I need to go hunt him down. That's very time consuming.

Minnesota at Detroit: Minnesota is hot but one of their only two losses was to the Lions. It's a short week and Minnesota is on the road but can Detroit really sweep the Vikes? So much for the waffling, here comes the prediction: Vikings Win
L.A. Chargers at Dallas: Fun fact: The Seahawks punter completed a pass for -4 yards this week, walking away with a higher QB rating than Dak Prescott got against the Eagles. He still won't have Zeke, might have his LT back. But after getting squashed in a "must win" game I expect the Cowboys to fold the tent. Chargers win
N.Y. Giants at Washington: The Giants have quit on their coach and the 'Skins just blew a game in epic fashion. But the 'Skins are the better team, especially at home. Redskins win
Buffalo at Kansas City: Kansas City continued their freefall with a weak performance and loss against a terrible Giants team. But KC is always a tough place to play for opposing teams and the Bills QB situation is horrendous. Chefs win
Carolina at N.Y. Jets: Panthers are hot and cold, most recently hot but coming off a bye week. Can they shake off the rust and recapture their momentum? Yup, Jets are mediocre at best. Panthers win
Chicago at Philadelphia: The Eagles have some challenges ahead with facing both the Rams and Seahags on the road but taking on the Bears at home isn't one of those challenges. Eagles Win
Cleveland at Cincinnati: Since passing on Carson Wentz in the draft, the Browns are 1-25. That doesn't get better this week. Bungles win
Miami at New England: With the Jets, the Bills, and the Dolhins twice every year, the Pats basically get six "gimme" wins year after year. Miami isn't going to change that this year. Patriots win
Tampa Bay at Atlanta: Atlanta dodged a bullet but they won in a hostile environment last week and at home against a sad Tampa team they look to continue their climb back into the playoff hunt. Falcons win
Tennessee at Indianapolis: Indy would need a lot of Luck to win this one (see what I did there? Boom!) but he ain't playing. Titans win
Seattle at San Francisco: Seattle D is depleated and coming off an emotional loss at home but lucky for them they get to take on a terrible 49ers team just when they really need a win to keep their wildcard hopes alive. Seahags win
Denver at Oakland: I don't beleive in Oakland but Denver on the road with horrible QB play is just not something I can pick. Raiders win
Jacksonville at Arizona: I got nothing for this one.Jaguars win
New Orleans at L.A. Rams: Time to find out if that Saints D is for real. Having to fight back against an incompetent Redskins team at home doesn't bode well for their prospects here against a much tougher Rams club. I say Rams win
Green Bay at Pittsburgh: Sorry, ghost of Lombardi. The ROdgers-less Pack isn't on the same level as the Steelers. Steelers Win
Houston at Baltimore: Houston is a heavy favorite in this one, mostly because Baltimore is just plain bad this year. With a scrub at QB and their best defensive player out for the year Houston isn't going anywhere this season but they do win it in Baltimore because someone has to. Texans Win

Houston is a heavy favorite in this one,

Baltimore is -7, actually. But if they can lose to the Bears at home they can lose to the Watson-less Texans too.

Liberals are the other white meat, since Liberals are people (kinda) your name made me think of Hannibal Lecter. ;-p Let me know if you want me to change it to something else.

Dark Angel, you missed Saints/Rams
