Washington @ Tennessee

Pittsburgh @ New Orleans
Kansas City @ Seattle
Washington @ Tennessee-Both teams are still in the playoff hunt. I remember the Titans made the playoffs last year and they very well could nab the second wild card if the Ravens lose to the Chargers. They really are the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL. They get no respect, but they're a pretty dangerous football team with Derrick Henry running the ball like he has been and a pretty solid defense. I trust the Fighting Mariotas over the Skins with their 4th stringer in there.
Baltimore @ Los Angeles Chargers-I've been ragging the Chargers for being homeless all year and called them pretenders last week. After the win at Arrowhead last week, I'll gladly eat crow and admit that I wrong like I have been with my picks most of the year. Chargers are legitimate. Even so, I'm taking the Ravens in an upset here. As they say, defense travels, and I think the Ravens will be a tad hungrier since the Chargers have already clinched a playoff berth. One more loss and the Ravens are likely out of the playoffs.
Cincinnati @ Cleveland-It would take a miracle for the Browns to make the playoffs this year, but the future looks bright in Cleveland. They're definitely the better team in Ohio now, especially with Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, and Hue Jackson on Cincy's sidelines.
Tampa Bay @ Dallas-I can't have Jerry's World winning the NFC Least, so for this week only I hope Winston is the one doing the smoking. Cowgirls got blanked last week and the Bucs have offensive firepower, so who knows?
Minnesota @ Detroit-I said the Viqueens would go 9-7 with Cousins under center. I changed it to 9-6-1 after they tied the Packers. It's fortunate for Minnesota that 9-6-1 will earn them a playoff spot this year. I'm sure Matt Stafford, Jim Bob Cooter, and the portly Matt Patricia would love nothing more than to play spoiler, but that's not happening. Cousins feasts on football teams with losing records.
New York Giants @ Indianapolis-How bout them Colts? I honestly didn't see them doing this well this season, but they have Luck on their side. They blanked the Cowboys last week and bless them for doing that. It made me very happy. And they play the Giants who got blanked last week. Can the Colts pitch another shutout? I doubt it, but they should be able to get another win as they fight for their playoff lives.
Jacksonville @ Miami-Da Finz have been a really good team at home. so they should take care of the Jags who are contention for biggest dumpster fire.
Buffalo @ New England-I can't see the Dark Side losing 3 in a row, so I'll take them to win another AFC East title against the Bills. To make matters worse, I think they'll somehow find a way to clinch the first round bye despite being the worst Pats team in recent memory.
Green Bay @ New York Jets-As bad as this season has gone for the Pack, I think they should be able to beat the grounded Jets. Of course this team did lose to the Cardinals.
Houston @ Philadelphia-In Nick Foles we trust. Nick Foles has breathed new life into the Eagles. If they can beat the Rams at the Coliseum, I think they can take care of the Texans at home and hopefully catch the Cowboys to take the NFC Least.
Atlanta @ Carolina-I was the only idiot to pick the Cardinals to beat the Dirty Birds last week. While the Panthers have lost 6 in a row and played themselves out of the playoffs, I still can't take the Falcons who have burned me too many times over the years.
Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona-After a 2-game skid, the Rams resume their winning ways against a Cardinals team who have nothing to be gained by winning this game. Cardinals are now projected to get the 2019 number 1 pick. Rams really need to right the ship before the playoffs start and I expect them to give the Cards a woodshed beating.
Chicago @ San Francisco-No one has picked my Niners the last 2 weeks and they won both games. While I wanted them to get the number 1 pick, I was ecstatic that they beat the Seahawks in OT. That shows that progress is being made and there are some nice building blocks for the future. I can't see them beating Da Bears who are still in the hunt for a first-round bye if the Rams or Saints slip up.
Pittsburgh @ New Orleans-Steelers seem to play to their level of their competition more than any other team, and I expect them to pull off the upset here. They're also prone to streaking. They had a 6-game winning steak followed by a 3-game losing streak. They beat the Pats last week and I think they'll win out to take the AFC North title. The Saints will be okay. They can lose this and still get the number 1 seed. They haven't seemed as dominant as earlier in the year, but I'd still consider them the best team in the NFL right now.
Kansas City @ Seattle-This is a classic Andy Reid team. They got off to a hot start and then they fizzle towards the end of the season. I really hope this season is different with Mahomes under center. I don't think the loss of Kareem Hunt is that devastating since any running back in KC's system seems to play well. It's their defense that is suspect. If the Chargers and Texans lose like I predicted, the Chiefs will still have the number 1 seed. Therefore, I don't think they'll play with the urgency or intensity the Seahawks will play with at home on Sunday Night Football as they solidify the 5th seed.
Denver @ Oakland-Maybe it was a long shot, but the Broncos sure did blow a golden opportunity to make the playoffs losing to my Niners and Browns the last two weeks. I think they'll lose to the Gruden Grinder too since it'll probably be the last NFL game ever played in Oakland. I'm sure gonna miss watching them play football on a baseball field.
I checked my picks because I thought I might change. However, I picked the Falcons before the news of Cam broke, simply because he looked like he couldn't throw.

But, I'm sure they will like homefield, that's something to play hard for.
They are playing Atlanta, their defense should get this done for them. Atlanta isn't going anywhere, should be no fight left in them. But, I been wrong most of the season so we shall see.
But, I'm sure they will like homefield, that's something to play hard for.
Good point, ipaper. I don't think it matters for the Chargers to have homefield as much as other teams considering their fans are outnumbered by the opposing team's fans at home games. I think the first-round bye would be more enticing for the Chargers than the homefield advantage. Chargers will probably beat the Ravens. I just went with the Ravens because my picking record is so bad I have nothing to lose.
