And the Pats prove again that they are indeed the luckiest team ever.

Seriously, what a load of crap on the way that game ended. This is like their fourth game they should've lost this season. Not that it really matters anyways because they are going to get the first or second seed at this point. No team in their division is going to catch them.

Time to move onto Week 13. No more byes for any team from here on out. We also have several games this Thanksgiving too.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28
Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions (Matt Flynn is starting for Green Bay, and the Lions defense is so horrible that I can see the Packers putting up a lot of points)
Oakland Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys (Should be an easy win for the Cowboys)
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens (Could go either way like most of their games, but I think the Ravens will play tough in order to hang onto that last wildcard spot)


Jacksonville Jaguars @ Cleveland Browns (They need to win this to stay in the wildcard race, and it is a home game for them)
Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts (A Titans win could put them one game back in the division, but I am going with the Colts despite their struggles)
Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings (Both teams have QB problems, but the Vikings have been more competitive while the Bears haven't impressed me much lately)
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets (Could go either way, but I am going with Jets who have a better defense and are at home)
Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles (I really want to see the Cards win, but I don't see them beating the Eagles on the road)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers (Even though the Bucs have won 3 straight, I don't see the Panthers defense losing this game)
New England Patriots @ Houston Texans (New England will kill them)
Atlanta Falcons @ Buffalo Bills (Bills need this win, and the Falcons are now officially eliminated and have nothing to play for)
St. Louis Rams @ San Francisco 49ers (Might not be an easy win for them, but I will take them since they are at home)
Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs (I am just not convinced with the Chiefs at this point)
Cincinnati Bengals @ San Diego Chargers (Bengals are coming off a bye week and the Chargers are too inconsistent to trust them)
New York Giants @ Washington Redskins (Garbage SNF game choice, but the Giants look slightly better than the Skins)

MONDAY, DECEMBER 2
New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks (Both teams are playing for the top NFC seed. I will give this to Seattle since they are playing at home)

Copy and paste of TRJ picks with some edits.

Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions (Looks like we all agree that the Lions are overrated and that they will lose this game)
Oakland Raiders @ Dallas Cowboys (Why Oakland on Thanksgiving of all teams? )
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens (Gotta go with my team. TRJ, are you going to it? )
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Cleveland Browns (I was so tempted to pick the Jags, but it's in Cleveland)
Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts (If the Titans win, then I might start trusting them. But I think the Colts will rebound)
Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings (Upset alert! I don't like what the Bears are doing right now. This has upset written all over it)
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets (And to think, this game actually has meaning )
Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles (Good run by the Cards, but the Eagles are hot right now)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers (The Bucs are onto something, but the Panthers will be too much)
New England Patriots @ Houston Texans (I think this might be closer than what most people think, but give me the Pats any day)
Atlanta Falcons @ Buffalo Bills (Nothing against TSM. I think the Falcons will find a way to win)
St. Louis Rams @ San Francisco 49ers (This might be a close one, but give me Kaepernick)
Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs (I'm going for it! I think the Chiefs will pull it off this time)
Cincinnati Bengals @ San Diego Chargers (The Chargers look playoff bound and I still can't trust the Bengals)
New York Giants @ Washington Redskins (Going with the better team here)
New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks (I think the Saints are slightly better, despite it being a road game)

Nice knowing all of you.  *points gun to head*

Nice knowing all of you. *points gun to head*

Hey, look at it this way. Once everyone is healthy again, you guys will easily be playoff bound. Hang in there.

This Lions team however, I still can't figure them out. Do they want to be good or not?

[The Red Jaguars]

The Lions are nothing special at all. TBH, they should be running away with the division right now. Vikings have too many problems and both the Bears and Packers are one game back despite all the injuries. They are a poorly coached team and are lucky to lead the division right now. If Aaron Rodgers played today, this game would be totally different. They got a Thanksgiving win handed to them on the silver platter.

And don't look now, but the Raiders blew a 21-7 lead and are now losing 28-21. If they lose this game, I say we can cross them off from the last AFC spot. 

[PurpleParrot319]

The way things are going, the Ravens will be the final wild card (assuming the Bengals don't choke away the division). We should start tanking after suffering all those injuries late in the game. No point in trying anymore since that loss pretty much ended our season.

[The Red Jaguars]

That was a crazy game like usual, and those last 2 minutes of the game was intense. Too bad that Bell suffered that ugly injury. I felt bad when they took the touchdown from him just because his helmet fell off before he made it across the goal line. At least the Steelers got the touchdown on the fourth down. But then they failed the two point conversion and screwed up the onside kick. Great game as usual, and of course the Raven almost blew it.

I guess that favors the Ravens for the last wildcard spot. I am not really afraid of any of the other teams except the Chargers. But then again, they will probably finish 8-8 because they find ways to suck.

[The Red Jaguars]

Oh look, New England scraping by again with another close win. They had no penalties all game either? Kind of hard to believe. None of the games have been really exciting today anyways. Although the Vikings are close to tying up with the Bears now. 

[The Red Jaguars]

Wow, the Jaguars just scored the leading touchdown with 0:40 left against the Browns. Man, how did the Ravens lose against the Browns again? Weeden is a very bad QB though and this team will not find success behind him.

And it looks like it is OT for Bears and Vikings. 

[PurpleParrot319]

The Jags have won 3 of their last 4 games. Good for them. The Browns however can't win with Weeden as their QB. They need to get rid of him.

And the Jets still suck.

[The Red Jaguars]

The Jaguars now have a better record or the same record as four of the 2012 playoff teams - Vikings, Falcons, Redskins, and Texans.

Too little too late for them to win though.

[The Red Jaguars]

Vikings and Bears are close to ending in a tie after the Bears missed a 47 yard FG.
