NFL

Each week I will fearlessly predict the outcomes of all the NFL games on the schedule. To date, I hold a record of 63-32 (10-5 in week 12) and I’m a shade behind the ESPN leader (Hodge) at a winning percentage of 66% to 69%.

Jets @ Bills

Prediction: Jets 28, Bills 9. The Jets are too talented and too well coached to lose to the Bills, even with a rookie quarterback.

Eagles @ Falcons

Prediction: Eagles 24, Falcons 6. Half of the Atlanta Falcons team is hurt, enough said.

Rams @ Bears

Prediction: Bears 28, Rams 13. Look for Cutler to actually have a good game and for the Bears to runs up the score a bit.

Lions @ Bengals

Prediction: Bengals 17, Lions 3. The Bengals are in for the fight of their life to win the division, losing to the Lions is not an option.

Titans @ Colts

Prediction: Colts 27, Titans 17. I understand where that the upset alert has been issued, but the Indianapolis Colts at home are too bet against.

Broncos @ Chiefs

Prediction: Broncos 35, Chiefs 17. In another disgusting display of football, the Broncos will run up the score on the Chiefs.

Patriots @ Dolphins

Prediction: Patriots 27, Dolphins 14. The patriots get back on track with a solid road win.

Raiders @ Steelers

Prediction: Steelers 28, Raiders 10. Continuing with the theme that the Steelers play down to their competition, the upset alert should be issued for this game. However, I’m not brave enough to bet on it.

Saints @ Redskins

Prediction: Saints 28, Redskins 21. In a bit of a surprise, the Redskins keep it close.

Buccaneers @ Panthers

Prediction: Buccaneers 17, Panthers 13. In the upset of the week, if you can call it that, the Bucs pull off a surprise win.

Texans @ Jaguars

Prediction: Texans 20, Jaguars 17. The Texans have too much offense to lose this game.

Chargers @ Browns

Prediction: Chargers 28, Browns 14. I can tell the Browns what the Chargers are going to do (pass) and they still couldn’t win this game.

Cowboys @ Giants

Prediction: Cowboys 21, Giants 17. The Giants free-fall right out of the playoffs.

49ers @ Seahawks

Prediction: Seahawks 17, 49ers 16. In a bit of an upset, the Seahawks steal on at home.

Vikings @ Cardinals

Prediction: Vikings 31, Cardinals 21. The Vikings might be the best team in the league.

Ravens @ Packers

Prediction: Packers 21, Ravens 20. In perhaps the game of the week, the Packers win a close game at home.
