The Texans game will suck, Arian Foster will run all over the Lion's porous defense, JJ sWatt will make life hell for Stafford. 33-13 Texans.

The Patriots game will suck. The Jets can't stop anyone, and they can't score. The Patriots can't stop anyone, but at least they can light it up. 45-21 Patriots.

The Redskins game will be excellent. Two teams fighting for a very slim chance at a playoff spot. An incredible rookie quarterback. The bright lights of the biggest waste of $1 billion. An all-time classic rivalry. But in the end, Trent Williams and the Skins O-line will protect RG3, and Romo will fail in the clutch, as usual. 16-10 Redskins in OT on a pick-6 by Kerrigan.

I don't understand the Lions as a team yet, but I think all three games have the potential to be awful. Here's to hoping that won't happen.

The Cowboy killer has always been Santana Moss in this rivalry
and if he is contained the Skins will go down. But these games
are usually tight regardless of what's on the line.

The makeshift O-Line for Dallas is a major problem. If the Skins
stuff the run and get after Romo they'll enjoy Thanksgiving.

Pats and Texans should both have fun on Thursday.

NYG @ WAS Skins are tempting here. They win, they're a contender.

Falcons should win this one but then again they should have won the first meeting. I'm also kind of thinking Jaguars will win. They've played well the last two weeks.

Other than that I think I agree with your list Ovo.

I'm certainly not downplaying the Falcons as a talented team and I expect it to be closely contested, but the Saints are on the playoff bubble and have more at stake here.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the Jaguars upset the Bills, they've certainly played well the last two weeks and Henne has been getting it done. The Steelers/Ravens game is always brutal, but Pittsburgh just isn't the same without Big Ben running the offense and Batch had an awful game last week at Cleveland. Of course the Browns are a much better team than their record and they've been competitive in all of their games.

The way this season has gone lately I feel any team can win on any given Sunday
and even the Fish could stun the Pats in Miami this week. But not likely eh?

Skins have been hot n cold, but they certainly have the roster to beat the Ravens.

I picked Dallas, but Cincy has been defending the wide outs really well
and the Cowboys have too many guys out on defense. Andy Dalton may
have a big day... if the Bengals manage to run the ball a little.

Houston/New England should be a good game and even though I expect
the Pats to prevail at home? I still went with the Texans.

Have to give props to Denver's Mitch Unrein (DT #96) for the TD catch. Was a Wyoming Cowboy and has made us proud of him.

"Kirk Cousins leads Washington to victory behind Alfred Morris' rookie record-breaking 250 yards, 4 TDs"

There's been a bunch of big turnover games and upsets this year
and I'm wondering who will be bumbling and stumbling this week.

Kind of hoping some of the "better" teams live up to their records
and play some good games. NYG @ ATL, DEN @ BAL, SF @ NE.

Swapped WAS @ CLE. No RG3

Turns out the Skins didn't need him this week.

Cardinals finally woke up this week and the Niners hand the Pats
there first home loss in ages... great game.

Despite losing to the Pats I still think the Texans are the team to beat in the AFC. I have to go with Falcons in the NFC simply because I'm a fan plus they absolutely crushed the Giants. Would love to see the Falcons play more consistently as we really do have one of the best offenses (we have three quality receivers (not including Gonzo ), a decent running game (better when it actually shows up) and was proves this week that we can actually play defense

Colts losing sparks a trend in that they can't seem to beat good teams, their only "good" victory coming against the Packers early on which was before the Packers found their rhythm. meanwhile Cousins proves he can play quarter back as the Skins win sans RG III.

Texans are good, but don't discount the Colts too quick
as they've shown they can win tight games and gave
Houston a tough game.

Pats of course and Denver too. The Broncos proved they
were already a complete team last season and just needed
a productive QB which they now have.

The Falcons are certainly capable of beating anyone,
they just need to be more consistent and if they are
ever hitting on all cylinders look out!

Not sure who is going to dominate the NFC. Lots of season
ending injuries have made a lot of good teams iffy now, with
the exception of San Francisco, Atlanta . . . and Seattle. Lots
of 8-6 teams hoping to squeeze into the Wild Card and the Pack
has their Division but aren't rolling too smooth. Yet.

San Francisco and the Packers (when they're playing well) are the teams that scare me as a Falcons fan (them and whoever we have to play in our first play off game . Even there though people forget that those three teams that beat us , cardinals, packers, giants, all went on to the super bowl. two went on to win the super bowl.

don't get me wrong about the Colts, they are a good team but good teams are the teams that get beat in the first or second playoff game and I sincerely doing they'll make it to the second round. maybe not the first pending who they have to play. my point is Colts have a winning record but they have had a weak schedule and the good teams they have played, have tended to beat them badly (this last one was their closest all season against good teams (again excluding Green Bay as they were not playing well at the time)).

RG III is still my rookie pick. lot has been said about Luck and I would not at all be upset if he gets picked but the Skins to this point have had a tougher schedule and there hasn't been a game where they have let the other team run away with it, even the Steelers game wasn't a blow out.

Alfred Morris for ROY to make sure the controversy between Wilson/RGIII/Luck isn't too much. Especially if he can gain 200 yards in the next two weeks, putting him around 1500 rushing yds.
