These are about as last minute as any picks I've ever posted, but here goes!
BENGALS AT BILLS- The Bengals should win this game with the Bills starting quarterback still out, but don't expect it to be a total blowout. BENGALS 24-21.
LIONS AT BROWNS- Without Hoyer, I simply can't see the Browns winning much. Calvin Johnson is back, and that means Lions aerial fireworks. LIONS 33-17.
RAIDERS AT CHIEFS- I like the Raiders with Terrell Pryor at the helm, but the Chiefs defense is simply too strong at home to lose this game. I expect something close though. CHIEFS 20-14.
PANTHERS AT VIKINGS- Sadly, this should be an inspired Vikings team. I can't fathom the deep sadness in the heart of Adrian Peterson, but I'm sure he and his team are ready to win one for his little boy. R.I.P, little guy. VIKINGS 28-23.
STEELERS AT JETS- I didn't believe in the Jets early, but they've beaten much better teams than the winless Steelers. I'm looking for the Jets to run the ball right down the throat of the Steeler defense, control the clock, and put this one away safely. JETS 23-10.
EAGLES AT BUCCANEERS- The Eagles aren't great this season and they will be without Michael Vick, but Nick Foles has enough starting experience to beat the Bucs. EAGLES 21-16.
PACKERS AT RAVENS- Joe Flacco is 10-0 at home against NFC teams. The Ravens will also have a good number of receiving weapons back and a new, strong left tackle. The Packers will be without a number of integral defensive cogs including Clay Matthews. The Ravens defense has not allowed a touchdown at home this season--they will today, but they'll also score a lot on an injured Packers pass defense. Expect a shootout. RAVENS 33-28.
RAMS AT TEXANS- The Texans should finally bounce back in this game against a mediocre opponent. TEXANS 30-24.
JAGS AT BRONCOS- Yeaaaaahhh...I guess it's a question of just how hard to the Broncos wanna push this before finally just having Peyton Manning hand the ball off and run the clock down ad nauseum. I expect Manning to be able to throw at least 5 TDs before the 4th quarter. BRONCOS 42-6.
TITANS AT SEAHAWKS- Always pick the Seahawks at home. SEAHAWKS 27-10.
CARDINALS AT 49ERS- This should be a 49ers win, but I have a hard time thinking that it'll be a blowout. Both of these teams are 3-2 and the 49ers haven't been as strong at home this season. 49ERS 23-20.
SAINTS AT PATRIOTS- As soon as the Patriots get Gronk back I will start picking them again. Until then, however, I can't see the Patriots defense, even at home, slowing down the Saints offense. When Gronk gets back, this will totally change, but until then Jimmy Graham is the best tight end in the league. SAINTS 37-28.
REDSKINS AT COWBOYS- Divisional games are always tough to predict, but the Cowboys are the only NFC East team that has truly shown impressive flashes at this point. The Redskins secondary isn't strong enough to contain the Cowboys offense. COWBOYS 35-21.
COLTS AT CHARGERS- The Colts are finally a good road team. Get 'em, Andrew. COLTS 26-19.
I, again, apologize for just how late these picks are being posted, but thanks for reading!
AS ALWAYS
GO RAVENS!!!
