It’s the second week of December the playoff races have officially begun to heat up.  Let’s take a look at the matchups and make some picks.

Thursday Night Football:

Steelers vs Vikings:

The Vikings have been tough all year but when it counts have found ways to lose.  Mike Tomlin > Mike Zimmer.  Black and yellow (Repeat three times in Wiz Khalifa’s voice)

Sunday’s lineups:

Ravens vs Browns – Ravens will find a way to win.  If Lamar is healthy, the Ravens always have a good chance.  Chalk one up for the Birds from B’more.

Cowboys vs Washington – Upset Special.  Washington is playing good defense and is milking the clock and maintaining long drives, keeping this formula they will keep Dak off the field.  That brand of football wins in December.   A win for the WFT’s.                                               

Jaguars vs Titans – Titans beat the fighting Urban Meyers.

Raiders vs Chiefs – Chiefs are on a roll, they win a tough squeaker.

Saints vs Jets – The Saints don’t have a Quarterback, Upset Special.  The J.E.T.S Jets Jets Jets get a win over the QBless Saints.

Falcons vs Panthers – Cam Newton turns back the clock a bit, and the Panthers get the win.  Joe Brady the offensive coordinator of the Panthers got fired during the week, so expect some different philosophies on offense.  That will add some juice on the Panthers side.

Seahawks vs Texans – Russ hasn’t been cooking with his janky finger, but I believe he’s healed and with their season on the line, he’ll find a way against a team they should beat.

Lions vs Broncos – Lions find a way to get a second win and finally get a bite of those kneecaps that their crazy coach was talking about.

Giants vs Chargers – Justin Herbert is just too good for the hapless G-Men.

49ers vs Bengals – a tough game, but Joe Burrow is better than Jimmy G, Bengals are also at home.  Bengals by a striped tail.

Bills vs Buccaneers – The Bills are in a bit of a slide, they are going to Tampa to see the 2021 MVP, Tom Brady.  12 is going to eat up the Bills like a slice of Avacado toast that keeps TB12 so youthful.  Bucs win.

Bears vs Packers – The Sort of Immunized Aaron Rodgers has the Pack playing pretty well coming down the stretch, and he will get the W over his division rival Bears.

Monday Night Football

Rams vs Cardinals – The Cards are the best team in the NFC right now but, Aaron Donald, and Jalen Ramsey are on the side defending Kyler Murray this week.  Rams will neutralize Murray and Sean McVay and the LA Rams get the W.
