Everyone chided Roger Goodell for allowing the disrespect to take front stage and define the NFL, but he obviously knew viewers would return as soon as the media stopped sensationalizing the protesting, which is still going on.
Give me the Saints. Cowboys can’t score enough to keep up with them.
It will be interesting from the standpoint that Dallas has a pretty good pass defense. But last week when the Saints played, no one could really figure out who Brees was going to target. He was all over the place in the win.
I’ll take the Saints tonight, rest of picks to come
Saints
Ravens
Buccs
Bears
Bills
Colts
Texans
Bengals
Rams
Packers
Chiefs
Jets
Niners

SUNDAY, DEC 2, 2018
Denver at Cincinnati 1:00 pm CBS Paul Brown Stadium The Broncos, all of a sudden, have put themselves back in the playoff picture with quality wins against the Chargers and the Steelers in the last two weeks. The Bengals, OTOH, are going in the opposite direction and both Andy Daulton and AJ Green are out. The Denver surge continues. Broncos.
Chicago at N.Y. Giants 1:00 pm FOX MetLife Stadium Who would have thought that the Bears after blowing a big lead in Game 1 against the Packers would later be leading their division comfortably in Week 13? Not me! But Trubisky is still out I believe, and the G-Men, while losing, seems to always keep things close. However.... the Bears D will smother the Giants O and that will be the difference. Bears.
Carolina at Tampa Bay 1:00 pm FOX Raymond James Stadium Oh Carolina... what happened to you? Three weeks ago looking ready to challenge the Saints and Rams for NFC supremacy. Then three straight losses including one to the Lions. And Cam says he's playing better than ever?! Maybe he is but it would be nice to win a game before saying that. Fortunately the Bucs are in even worse straits. Panthers.
Cleveland at Houston 1:00 pm CBS NRG Stadium The rejuvenated Browns try to snap the Texans eight game winning streak. I believe the Texans pass rush will frustrate Mayfield and that will turn the game. Texans.
L.A. Rams at Detroit 1:00 pm FOX Ford Field Rams are on cruise control and have had a week off. The Lions are just too dysfunctional. Rams.
Buffalo at Miami 1:00 pm CBS Hard Rock Stadium The Bills - yes, the Bills! - are coming on. Josh Allen is playing better every week. And the Dolphins.. decimated by injuries. Bills.
Indianapolis at Jacksonville 1:00 pm CBS EverBank Field Indy and Andrew Luck are playing great at the right time. Jacksonville... well that's a whole 'nother story. Colts.
Baltimore at Atlanta 1:00 pm CBS Mercedes-Benz Stadium Whereas the Falcons are pitiful on defense they still have a potent offense and I would not be surprised to see Juio Jones have a field day. Lamar Jackson hasn't really been tested, i.e. forced to throw a lot. And as I've said, the Ravens will be 8 - 8 when all is said and done. Falcons.
Arizona at Green Bay 1:00 pm FOX Lambeau Field C'mon. The Packers at home against the hapless Cardinals?! Packers.
N.Y. Jets at Tennessee 4:05 pm CBS Nissan Stadium Tennessee has more personalities than Sybil. But at home? Against a flailing Jets team? Titans.
Kansas City at Oakland 4:05 pm CBS Oakland Coliseum No way can I see the Chiefs blowing this game. No way.Chiefs.
San Francisco at Seattle 4:25 pm FOX CenturyLink Field After a tough road win the Seahawks get the Niners at home in Seattle. Russell Wilson will not let his team lose at home to an inferior Niners squad. Seahawks.
Minnesota at New England 4:25 pm FOX Gillette Stadium Hmmm.... can the Vikings do it? On the road at NE? Against Tom Terrific with Edelman and Gronk? Nah... Patriots.
L.A. Chargers at Pittsburgh 8:20 pm NBC Heinz Field The Game of the Week! Still puzzled how the Steelers managed to lose that game last week. Usually when you get a 97-yard scoring play, and a special teams TD, you win the game, especially when you pile up 200 more yards than your opponent. But no. As for the Chargers... Philip Rivers is coming off maybe his best game ever. And this is a big 'for real' test. Call me crazy. I like San Diego (yes, San Diego!). Chargers.
MONDAY, DEC 3, 2018
Washington at Philadelphia 8:15 pm ESPN Lincoln Financial Field Two teams that came into the season with High hopes. Now Alex Smith is gone, and the Eagles have never been able to get in synch. However .. they will be synched enough to beat the 'Skins and whoever is playing at QB. Eagles.
As for today's college games.... I'm too late for Texas - Oklahoma. But...
Alabama over Georgia...
Clemson all over Pitt...
And OSU all over Northwestern.
Then the playoff committee can sort it all out. Good luck everyone!
