Goodness, I've been so distracted by the election this past week I almost forgot how awful my Broncos looked on Sunday Night or the season as a whole. And I almost forgot to get tonight's pick in. That would have been a shame because tonight's game is as close to a freebie as you're gonna find! My picks:
Browns @ Ravens: Ravens. Unless my polling data is off, Ravens take it in a landslide.
Texans @ Jaguars: Texans. A marginally good division leading Texans team pair with a perennially uninteresting Jaguars team spells low turnout for this contest.
Broncos @ Saints: Broncos. Despite slumping in the polls and facing off against a team making an impressive surge, the Broncos hold off their opponent.
Rams @ Jets: Jets. Calls of "We want Goff!" undermine the party's ticket-leader, Keenum.
Falcons @ Eagles: Falcons. Momentum from early in the campaign is fading faster than it did for Howard Dean after the scream. (If you don't remember it, google it. Everyone needs a good laugh from time to time.)
Chiefs @ Panthers: Panthers. A decent week for incumbents, so why not stick with the conference champs at home?
Bears @ Buccaneers: Bears. Having no shot at winning didn't stop the Gary Johnsons, Evan McMullins, and Jill Steins of the world from running any more than having no shot at the playoffs in 2016 will stop the Bears from having a few inspired performances before the season's end.
Vikings @ Redskins: Redskins. Much is made about how offensive the Redskins name is, but little thought given to the Vikings name and brand stereotyping people of Norse background. I think I'll start a protest.
Packers @ Titans: Packers. By a touchdown. (Within the margin for error.)
Dolphins @ Chargers: Chargers. Sampling data from both teams' performances thus far suggest the Chargers defense does just enough to keep this one out of reach for the Dolphins.
49ers @ Cardinals: Cardinals. With as much as Kaepernick has been sitting on his
this season you'd think he would've been well enough rested to go vote.
Cowboys @ Steelers: Cowboys. When this campaign started nobody took the Cowboys seriously. Sounds familiar...
Seahawks @ Patriots: Patriots. Because all good patriots pick the Patriots on/around election day.
Bengals @ Giants: Giants. Seriously. What is up with these lame MNF match ups? Please, NFL! Let's make MNF great again!
I'm iknowftbll and I approve these picks.
