So not too bad all things considered. 10-6 for me and Graham is respectable in a tricky week and 12-4 for Craig who is again in the lead. A surprisingly good week for games though with many remaining close going deep into the 4th quarter.

What We Got Right

Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars

A – “The Colts have a new record for consecutive wins… I can’t look past them.”
C – “For this week I have to go for Indianapolis to go 14-0.”
G – “I would love to back the Jags, but the Colts are just too good”

The Colts are steaming along nicely.

New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills

A – “I’m looking to see a strong Patriots team play into January – Pats to win.”
C – “I think the Pats will slowly grind away and come home with the win though.”
G – “However, I feel strongly enough to give the pick to the Bills. Pats win.”

San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles

A – “I think the Eagles will be soaring here.”
C – “49ers win.”
G – “If the 49ers were at home I would be picking them here. However, away from home they have not been the same team. Eagles for me.”

Miami Dolphins @ Tennessee Titans

A – “I just don’t fancy the Dolphins in this matchup. In fact, I think their post-season hopes all but die with a loss here.”
C – “I still think the Titans and Chris Johnson will get the job done. Tennessee win.”
G – “I am going against the tide here with a Dolphins win.”

Houston Texans @ St. Louis Rams

A – “heading to St. Louis, I have to fancy them again to rack up an efficient win.”
C – “Nothing much can be said about the Rams as i don’t see them offering up anything to discuss, it has been a terrible season for them. Houston to add to this misery.”
G – “Houston should win this, but then I have said that many times this season so far”

Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets

A – “Atlanta to win here.”
C – “I can’t see past the Falcons here. I don’t see it being ‘the match to watch’ though.”
G – “I think the guys are right though, Atlanta will swoop a win…….did you see what I did there?”

Chicago Bears @ Baltimore Ravens

A – “I also think they’re better than the Bears, so see them taking this one and setting up a great matchup with the Steelers next week.”
C – “We are still up there pushing for a Wild Card spot so i should think we will have the determination to get the win.”
G – “Ravens to win.”

Cleveland Browns @ Kansas City Chiefs

A – “I fancy the Chiefs to edge a close game.”
C – “I think it will be a pretty close game, but i think Quinn will prove to be the better QB on the day.”
G – “Well Craig predicted a Browns victory which non of us saw last week. I have to go with his Browns knowledge here (I think he is a secret fan) and back the Browns.”

Arizona Cardinals @ Detroit Lions

A – “Cardinals to win big.”
C – “I’m going for a Cardinals win.”
G – “Cardinals win, but not quite as big as Andrew says.”

Cincinnati Bengals @ San Diego Chargers

A – “despite the emotion and sentiment, I think the Chargers will have enough here.”
C – “It will be tough to stop them. Chargers win.”
G – “I really hope that the Bengals prove me wrong and win this one for Chris. Very sad news. Chargers win.”

What We Got Wrong

Dallas Cowboys @ New Orleans Saints

A – ” I can see them [The Cowboys] giving the Saints a close game, but think New Orleans will be one game closer to being unbeaten.”
C – ” I want the Saints to go 16-0, so for that reason alone i am picking them to win this week”
G – “I really want to Saints to go unbeaten now.”

Unbeaten no longer!

Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos

A – “There aren’t many teams I think they can beat in an even fight, so the Broncos get the nod here.”
C – “I’d say this should be a close game, but a part of me thinks the Broncos will run away with it. Definitely a Broncos win though.”
G – “Who know what the Raiders are going to give us? While we know the Raiders can do great things, they don’t do them often enough. Broncos win.”

Oakland continue to play spoiler.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Seattle Seahawks

A – “I think the ‘Hawks will edge this one.”
C – “Tampa have been playing well, they still need to get some balance however, but i think they’ll see off Seattle.”
G – “I have to go with the Seahawks this week.”

A great call from Craig here.

Green Bay Packers @ Pittsburgh Steelers

A – “I wish it wasn’t so, as I like Green Bay, but I think the Steelers will take this one.”
C – ” With the Packers on their current form and with them pushing for the 1st spot in the divison, i can see them getting the win.”
G – “I am going with the Packers. It could be a great game this one, lets hope for some action. Green Bay win.”

It was a great game, and one I enjoyed watching. In the end, the Steelers won the shootout.

Minnesota Vikings @ Carolina Panthers

A – “Got to be the Vikings here.”
C – “Vikings to win.”
G – “Vikings win.”

Oh dear. We, and nearly everyone else, were caught on big-time on this one.

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins

A – “I’ve changed my mind several times whilst making this post, but in the end: they’re my team! Redskins to win.”
C – “sorry Andrew, but i’m going for a Giants win.”
G – ” I think the Redskins will come out on top.”

This game wasn’t close by any stretch of the imagination.

So with just two weeks to go, I’m still behind Graham and week-for-week Craig is in the lead.

Lets hope that they fix it soon and we can all get back to the games we were watching. The replays are fine, but there is nothing as good as watching live.
