Cowboys over the Raiders

Do I dare pick the Bears? Nope. Lions get their first win in the Toilet Bowl.

Alrighty here we go again! I was 8-7 in week 11 just made it past a losing week. Overall I'm batting .588 97 wins to 68 loses. I noticed several had really good week 11's CHuck allen & rainman about 10 wins each and I was trailing them already.

Det over Chi (this includes a hope and a prayer)
Dal over LV (Dallas has a long win streak on Turkey day LV not so much)
NO over Buf everyone likes Buffalo (just a hunch)
Atl over Jac
Mia over Car (another hunch)
Hou over NYJ(just because)
Phi over NYG(not because)
Cin over Pit
Ind over TB (the tom bradys lose)
Ne over Ten (I wanted to pick titans, but no)
Lac over Den
GB over Lar
SF over Min
Bal over Clev
Was over Sea

Three games today gotta get those picks in!

THANKSGIVING - THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25TH 11:30 AM CST

Bears (3-7) – Lions (0-9-1). The Lions have a history of playing well in the T-Day game and the Bears, while seemingly always coming close (like last week against the Ravens), cannot get over the hump. If the Lions only had a kicker.... among other things. Still.... Lions.

3:30 PM CST

Raiders (5-5) – Cowboys (7-3). Play the favorite here. Cowboys... at home? On national TV on T-Day? Cowboys!

7:20 PM CST

Bills (6-4) – Saints (5-5). The Bills are in a tailspin and took an absolute shellacking at home last week thanks to the Colts. But the Saints are injury depleted and I don't think they have enough to keep up with Josh Allen and Company on offense. Bills.

Good Luck Everyone! And A Happy Happy Thanksgiving to All!

They might not be able to fill the 4 spots ...

Cincy loses
ND loses
UT wins PAC
WISC wins Big 10

Maybe Big12 champ gets in

Probably. What do you think, Pete?

Personally that disgusts me if being undefeated isn’t enough, kick all those “lesser” teams out of the Bowl subdivision then.

If ALA wins out
AND
OK/OK ST wins out
AND
CINCY wins out ...

Committee probably goes with one-loss GEORGIA over Cincy

Well, 1 - 2 on Turkey Day. That's what you get for picking the Lions. As for the 'Boys... they let me and many others down. Nevertheless we continue with the picks for the rest of the schedule.

Buccaneers (7-3) – Colts (6-5). The Colts are coming on, from 1 - 4 to 6 - 5. And I might add they should have beaten the Ravens too. I'm jumping on the Frank Reich / Carson Wentz / Colts win train! Colts.

Jets (2-8) – Texans (2-8) Inexplicably... unbelievably... against all odds-ly.... the Texans won last week against the Titans. Enjoy that Texans fans cause that's it for the time being. But wait... it's the Jets... Nah. Jets.

Eagles (5-6) – Giants (3-7). The Giants are just bad. The Eagles are at least trending upwards. Eagles.

Panthers (5-6) – Dolphins (4-7). Panthers .. beat Arizona on the road, lose to the WFT at home. But McCaffrey and Newton are getting better. So... Panthers.

Titans (8-3) – Patriots (7-4). Along with the Colts the Patriots are rolling merrily along. The Titans are still missing that guy Henry and I think the Pats D is going to feast on Ryan Tannehill. Patriots.

Steelers (5-4-1) - Bengals (6-4). Four weeks ago the Bengals were the toast of the AFC. Now they are flirting with just being toast. But at home against the Men of Steel Burrow turns it around. Bengals.

Falcons (4-6) – Jaguars (2-8). Ugh. A must-miss game. The Falcons have scored three points combined in their last two games. And the Jags.... well they do come up with a good effort now and then. So.... Jaguars.

3:05 PM CST

Chargers (6-4) – Broncos (5-5). Week 12 and I'm still waiting for the real Chargers to emerge. Emerge Chargers emerge! Chargers.

3:25 PM CST

Rams (7-3) – Packers (8-3) Now here's a good one! I thought the Rams were THE team in the NFC. Then they took a trip to San Francisco and.... And the Pack tripped up against the Vikings. But at Lambeau..... Packers.

Vikings (5-5) - 49ers (5-5). Two weeks ago the Niners were written off for the season but they have revived themselves. And the Vikings, to use a trite phrase, are better than their record indicates. Vikings.

7:20 PM CST

Browns (6-5) – Ravens (7-3). Fourth quarter heroics are not going to be enough for the Ravens this week as I think the Browns are going to run all over them. Browns.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29TH 7:15 PM CST

Seahawks (3-7) – Washington (4-6). Oh boy what a Monday nighter! Russell Wilson will be healthier and the WFT QB Taylor whats-his-name.... At 4 - 6 the WFT is not out of the playoff picture. But that picture will be much dimmer Tuesday morning. Seahawks.

Good Luck Everyone! And I hope All had a Happy Thanksgiving!
