A pair of 1-2 teams, both desperate for victory... I gotta go with the Bungles. 

Apparently my prediction that Garoppolo would get hurt and the Pats would win anyway was the high-water mark for my Bragging Rights season and I am now unable to understand anything about the NFL. Premature senility is always so tragic.

But, I did notice that the Sunday games start very early, so I'd better get my picks in while they are still relevant. Or maybe I'd be better off not getting them in... hmmm... .




First quarter, the easy picks!

Broncos defeat Bucs
Pantlers beat the Falcons
Ravens over Raiduhs 	    ... 	(I can't believe I'm saying this: Go Raiduhs!)
Texans shred Tuxedos 	            ... 	go Tennessee Tuxedos!!


Second quarter, circle the wagons time!

Cincy over the Fins 	        the Bengals fight to get to .500
Patriots over the Bills 	        the Patriots just fight. Ok, maybe Rex Ryan has 
				occasionally had the Pats number in the past,
				but surely not this year! Inconceivable!!!
The Jets over Seattle 	        again, fighting to get to .500
Cards over Rams 		fighting for their Division. Whoever loses this
				game might not even make the playoffs. Which will not
                                be a shocker for the Rams.


Third quarter, split decisions...

Vikings over Giants 	    the New York Giants will be fighting for revenge 
				for their drubbing last season on Monday night,
				and now they have better wideouts. But so will
				Minnesota, and I still pick the better team.

Lions squeak past da Bears 		A game in which two decent offenses
				(da Bears O is actually above average against every D
				they've faced) face two dinged up defenses. I pick the
				Lions to win only because I think Stafford can
				exploit Chicago more than Hoyer can exploit
				Detroit. That said, go Bears!

Steelers over Chefs 	    Wow. I was sure the Steelers could handle the
				Iggles, but not so much. How will they rebound?
				I'm guessing they beat the Chefs, but I think I'd
				go the other way if this game were played in KC...


Fourth quarter, garbage time!

Chargers over Aints 	    two past-their-prime QBs and not much else...
Colts over Jags 		    poor London, home of irrelevant football games.
Ready-or-Nots over the Browns
Cowgirls over 9ers 		the Cowhands get their O rolling just in time to
				face a 9ers squad that is giving up 40+
