I had a feeling the Cowboys would bounce back this week. Will Trestman be back next season with Chicago?

That is a good question--and last I looked, Dallas was handing it them!

I get another win with the Cowboys game, but it's just one out of 16. Here are the rest of my picks:

Steelers @ Bengals: Steelers. How can anyone pick a team that gets beat by the Jets and Saints? I don't know.

Rams @ Redskins: Rams

Giants @ Titans: Giants

Panthers @ Saints: Saints

Jets @ Vikings: Vikings

Ravens @ Dolphins: Dolphins

49ers @ Raiders: 49ers

Colts @ Browns: Colts

Buccaneers @ Lions: Lions

Texans @ Jaguars: Texans

Bills @ Broncos: Broncos

Chiefs @ Cardinals: Cardinals

Seahawks @ Eagles: Eagles

Patriots @ Chargers: Chargers

Falcons @ Packers: Packers

He shouldn't. Completely imploded at the end of last season (didn't they lose like 55-20 in Philadelphia week 16 and then gave up that late touchdown at home to Rodgers in the win-or-go-home in week 17) and this year only the Jets have been a bigger train wreck.

Good one and I did, simply because the Steelers have burned me this season!

Not to mention they lost to the Bucs at home, giving them their first win of the season. Of course, they had a decent 3-week home stand where they beat the Texans, Colts, and Ravens. They then followed that with a loss to the Jets, a close win against the Titans, and a loss to the Saints. This Steelers squad has definitely been a Jekyll and Hyde team this year. I picked the Saints last week because I thought the Steelers should have won, and I'm picking the Steelers this week because I think the Bengals should win. That's bizarre logic, but it kind of makes sense for the Steelers this year. That AFC North is interesting and is still really up for grabs. I'm not sold on the Bengals and think the Steelers, Ravens, and Browns all have a decent chance. That's the only division you can say that about.

I just went back through this thread to see how many people took the Bears last night. More than I would have guessed for sure.

Should I start a Week 15 thread now? The Thursday game is over.

Right you are, my friend. I picked the Steelers because despite their losses to bad teams, they have some impressive wins over some pretty solid teams as well. So if they win this one the prognasticators will begin to explain how they knew all along the Steelers were a SB contender...

I am not sure what's going to happen in that division but I'd love to see the Browns win it.

You and me both! Unfortunately I think the Browns would need to win out, and go 11-5 to get in. And with the injuries racking up on both sides of the ball, as well as no return game on special teams, that is a tall order. 10-6 or 9-7 may not cut it. I will say that they have exceeded expectations of most people given they're already at 7 wins. So next year for sure should a big step should be taken once we get all of our guys back from injury, and address the defense in the draft. Oh... and we need a new kicker!
