PACKERS WIN!!!!!!!              


I can't believe we scored 50+ again! We might be the best team in the last two weeks. The Packers are averaging 43.5 ppg at home. Especially now that we finally beat a good team in the Eagles. 


THANK YOU ARIZONA & KANSAS CITY!!!!!!! Detroit's luck finally runs out. Now they have to go to New England next week. 


For the NFC North, here is the Packers & Lions remaining schedule. 

Lions:
@NE
CHI (T)
TB
MIN
@CHI
@GB

Packers:
@MIN
NE
ATL (M)
@BUF
@TB
DET

Also R.I.P. Oakland Raiders. They are the first team eliminated from playoff contention. They will go 0-16. 


Rams!

Aaand cue the Bills' annual late-season nosedive. 


THIS IS REALLY GETTING OLD, GUYS! 

[The Red Jaguars]

I can see the Packers winning their division over the Lions. The Packers are playing amazing right now and that offense is on a roll. Just looking at their schedule, they could possibly win out. Their only real hard game is New England, but they get them at home.

The Lions on the other hand do not impress me. Their defense is very overrated and they had no business winning the Dolphins or Falcons game.

And that is too bad about the Bills, TSM. Every year I am praying that the Patriots and Brady will finally come back to earth and stumble but so far they have beaten every division leader in the AFC. This team is truly a dynasty. Although it is still not too late for the Dolphins to take the division from them. That is if they don't choke either.

Right now the team I am pulling for in the NFC is the Cardinals. I am loving how they are winning these games despite not having an Elite QB. I hope they get the #1 seed in the NFC.

And now.... the drunk playoff bracket

What happens here when the apocalypse happens?

[The Red Jaguars]

The Browns are screwed six ways till Sunday with those losses to the Jaguars and Texans. I will be shocked if they break 8 wins with their remaining schedule. They will need to beat Atlanta on the road Sunday to right their ship. And the Falcons are going to play tough while they have a division lead.

Here are my Week 12 picks:

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20
Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders (Another winless weak for Oakland. )

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23
Cleveland Browns @ Atlanta Falcons (The Falcons can only beat division rivals, and I think the Browns will rebound with Josh Gordon's return)
Detroit Lions @ New England Patriots (The Patriots will rip apart the Lions' fraud defense)
Tennessee Titans @ Philadelphia Eagles (Mark Sanchez gets a break against one of the worst teams in the league)
Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings (Will Green Bay drop 50 again this week?)
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts (Must be nice to play Jacksonville two times a year)
Cincinnati Bengals @ Houston Texans (Let's see if Mallet can win against a team that is actually pretty decent)
New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills (Will the Bills begin to fall apart? Not against the lowly Jets)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Chicago Bears (Lovie's Smith old team vs. new team. Both teams are done, but the Bears should beat the Buccaneers at home)
Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks (I really hope the Cardinals win, but the Seahawks will play tough at home)
St. Louis Rams @ San Diego Chargers (Just to continue the trend of the Rams beating tough teams)
Miami Dolphins @ Denver Broncos (Can Denver stop their losing streak against a surprisingly decent Dolphins team? They should at home)
Washington Redskins @ San Francisco 49ers (Redskins are trash)
Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants (Why is this the SNF game? -_- Cowboys will destroy the Giants)

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24
Baltimore Ravens @ New Orleans Saints (Big game for both teams. I am going with the Ravens because a.) the Saints haven't been that good at home and b.) They have had extra rest for this game.)

[The Silver Monkey]

Thanks to the major snowstorms in Buffalo, the Bills/Jets game will not be played on Sunday, and won't be played in Buffalo period. Time and site TBD: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11909178/buffalo-bills-home-game-new-york-jets-played-sunday

The status of Bills/Browns (also a scheduled home game for the Bills) on 11/30 is also up in the air.

Picks

Lions vs Patriots (Patriots are too good for the Lions)


Cardinals vs Seahawks (This one is very interesting as the Cardinals were the only team to beat the Seahawks at home last year, but I will pick Seattle)


Dolphins vs Broncos (Tannehill is no Manning)


Bengals vs Texans (Really unsure here, but the Bengals have a better team)


Packers vs Vikings (Homer pick, possible blowout here as well)


Ravens vs Saints (I will pick the Saints due to their postseason home winning streak)


Cowboys vs Giants (This might be close, but the Cowboys will prevail)


Titans vs Eagles (Eagles will kill the Titans)


Browns vs Falcons (The NFC South is and must stay a joke)


Rams vs Chargers (The Rams can get it done against playoff teams from last year (well... except KC & Philly)


Chiefs vs Raiders (LOL, this is tonight's "game"? Chiefs will kill, and bury the Raiders)


Jaguars vs Colts (Colts will kill the Jags)


Redskins vs 49ers (Redskins are a joke and media whores)


Jets vs Bills (I'm not sure where, when, or even if this game is going to be played)


Buccaneers vs Bears (Toilet Bowl)

[PurpleParrot319]

Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders (I smell trap game, but the Chiefs should pull it off)
Cleveland Browns at Atlanta Falcons (the Browns are starting to show signs that they're not ready for big time success, and it's in Atlanta)
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills (I would mock the Jets, but they beat us; Bills are better though)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Chicago Bears (the pointless battle of Lovie Smith teams that the Bears should win)
Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts (lol)
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings (I smell another blowout by the Packers)
Detroit Lions at New England Patriots (how am I supposed to trust the Lions against the Patriots? Not happening)
Tennessee Titans at Philadelphia Eagles (Sanchez should recover against a mediocre Titans team)
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans (Cincy is slightly better)
St. Louis Rams at San Diego Chargers (as tempting as it is to pick the Rams, I gotta go with the Chargers at home)
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (should be a good one, but it's in Seattle)
Miami Dolphins at Denver Broncos (might also be another good one, but it's in Denver)
Washington Redskins at San Francisco 49ers (Redskins suck)
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants (I almost picked the Giants in this divisional home game, but the Cowboys are better)
Baltimore Ravens at New Orleans Saints (sorry TRJ, but I just don't see the Saints losing three home games in a row and the Saints are angry)

Bills/Jets will be played Monday night in Detroit at 7PM: http://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/535611429936988160

So uh, is this the week where I should've picked the Raiders?

[The Red Jaguars]

Leave it to Oakland to blow a 17-3 in 10 minutes at home against their most hated rival. They still have some time left though to upset the Chiefs. I mean they have the ball now on their side of the field. It would help the AFC North out greatly if they beat the Chiefs.

[PurpleParrot319]

And there it is. Oakland breaks through! Good for them. LOL KC.

[The Red Jaguars]

Congrats to the Raiders for your first win! It only took 12 weeks for it to happen. 

And with that loss, KC drops to 7-4. This is not a bad record, but the AFC is going to be tight this year and it might hurt them. Especially two of their losses coming from Raiders (1-10) and Titans (2-8). And they still have to play Broncos, Cardinals, Chargers, and Pittsburgh. And I was rooting for them over Denver too. :S

[GreenMonkeys#1]

The Raiders beat the Chiefs!

The one time they win the whole nation saw them. This changes the whole wild card race.

[The Red Jaguars]

I knew the Raiders would get a win eventually, but I didn't expect it to be the Chiefs. After all, there is only two winless teams in the history of the NFL - 1976 Buccaneers (first year in the league) and 2008 Lions (although they did come close in a few games). And this was their first win in over a year too. Nothing better than getting it against your biggest rival.
