Patriots, Cardinals, Panthers, Broncos

Every game should be close with the exception of the Steelers/Broncos game. Wish Antonio Brown was playing, the Steelers would make for a good upset pick.

Denver is my lock of the week. Playing on house money after my sweep last week. $300.00. Took Denver and Arizona in $50.00 parlay and $100.00 tease taking Denver, Arizona, Seattle and Kansas City. Chief's are my upset pick this week who I feel will win the game as well. We'll see.

Big Ben has torn ligaments in his right shoulder, and a sprained AC joint yet he's probable to play? This game has all the makings of a good ole fashioned blowout.

With Big Ben and Antonio Brown injured, I don't see the Steelers having much of a chance, unless the Broncos offense is just royally bad and starts throwing picks and fumbling the ball all over the place.

My picks: Broncos, Patriots, Panthers, Cardinals

I'm reasonably confident with Panthers and Cardinals as well, but Patriots are iffy. They did not look good down the stretch, they don't have any receivers worth a damn, and their O-line is shaky. Running backs are nothing special either. And the Chiefs will obviously key in on Gronk and make guys like Lafell or Martin beat them. And Brady's playing on a bum ankle.

I'll still go with the Patriots, because they're at home and they still have Brady, but I wouldn't be surprised if they lose.

Cardinals starting OLB is out for season now.

They signed babbin don't know if he has anything in the tank this late In season but keim is king of getting these 1yr guys to ball out

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

I think I'd have to go with the Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks, and Cardinals (barely) this weekend.

Though I'm rooting for the Cards and (obviously) the Patriots.

Its hard for me to pick against Brady at home in the playoffs. Chiefs are red hot but they're due to lose at some point. I see a close low scoring game. 20-18 Pats.

Pack may have rediscovered their mojo last week. Or more likely, they lit up a terrible Redskins D. Won't be the same story going up against that monster in Arizona. Pack will be more competitive but Cards are too tough this year. 27-23 Cardinals.

Hawks-Panthers...this is the game I can't wait to see. Pure manhood game. These teams are basically mirror images. I know the Panthers won in Seattle in the regular season, but the Seahawks just have "it" come playoff time. 16-13 Seahawks.

Big Ben and Brown being injured ruin this game. I think Steelers may have won, but I can't pick them with those two hurt. Broncos get revenge from their regular season loss. Manning manages the game. 21-17 Broncos.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Chiefs- As much as I want to pick the Patriots I just can't. They have been completely decimated by injuries this year. The Chief's schedule wasn't the best, but it is pretty difficult to win 11 straight.
Cardinals- Injuries will hurt some, but the Cardinals are probably the best team in the NFL.
Seahawks- Wilson has been awesome before last week. I can't bet against the Seahawks vs an unproven team.
Broncos- A mortal lock. The Bengals really screwed the Patriots over last week.

The AFC doesn't seem interesting. I have a hard time believing that a banged up Chiefs, banged up Broncos and banged up Steelers have a shot at a fully healthy New England.

In the NFC I feel like every team has decent shot and an argument could be made for all 4 teams. Arizona is the team I like most, they are very well coached. Bruce Arians is the man.

Pats ain't banged up.

Gronk will play, Edelman will play,Amendola will play. Brady has all his weapons on offense. Chiefs aren't gonna get 5 turnovers from the Pats like they got with the Texans. I think the Pats win by at least 2 TD's.

That is 100% false. Their best O-Lineman and 2 best running backs are out for the year. They have 12 players listed as questionable going into this week, including Gronk, Edelman, Amendola, Vollmer and many of their best defensive players.

Patriots
Cardinals
Seahawks
Broncos

Only 1 pick is safe and that's the Broncos. Went 5-0 last week including NCAA champ game. I want to vote Chiefs but it's hard to vote against the patriots.
Cardinal and Seahawk game Both 50/50 any team can win those matchups.

Nah, KC will have to deal with a tough front 7 too! with a Maclin playing hurt.

in that 11 games winning streak, only 3 teams with .500 record ! then last week score was more Hoyer's doing than anything else! KC is overrated!
