Joe's Week 12 Locks

I'm thankful for backdoor covers and straight-up wins. Blindside hits and pancake blocks. Diving interceptions and fingertip grabs. Referee screw jobs and coaching blunders. Missed extra points and game winning field goals. Coffin corner punts and special team touchdowns. Metcalf up the middle and throwing 3 yards on 3rd & 5. Blowing challenges on obvious calls and calling timeout before the first play of the game. Blowing first round draft picks and overpaying washed up veterans. Changing ownership and nothing being different. The Browns.

Washington @ (-7) Dallas. My Pick, Dallas 27-26. In my heart I believe this will be even more high scoring but I want to be realistic. The Redskins offense is rolling right now but no one is rolling the way the Cowboys have been all season. Another late Dak drive wins it for the 'Boys.
Pittsburgh @ (+8) Indianapolis. My Pick, Pittsburgh 34-17. No Luck in Indy means bad things for the Colts. Once again the luckiest team in sports, the Steelers, get a break and roll to an easy one. Give thanks to concussions!!
New York Giants @ (+7) Cleveland. My Pick, New York Giants 27-23. This has McCown back door cover written all over it. I look for the Giants to go ahead early (obviously) and for McCown to rack up yardage and INTs. Also, Kevin Hogan will make an appearance for the Browns and make a play to give them hope, if only for a second.
Tennessee @ (+4.5) Chicago. My Pick, Tennessee 31-13. I believe Matt Barkley will be quarterbacking the Bears on Sunday, backed up by David Fales.
New England @ (+8) New York Jets. My Pick, New England 38-20. New England will run up the score to send a message to the rest of the league and to the Jets that they are far and away the best team in the AFC (yeah, we knew all of this already). OK fine, how's this? The Jets will be up 10-0 before giving up 35 straight points.

Week 10 Review 

Pittsburgh @ (-8) Cleveland. My Pick, Pittsburgh 31-17. What Happened, Pittsburgh 24-9. No idea how the Browns kept this game close but somehow had the ball with a chance to tie in the 4th quarter. Then, as the Browns do, strip sack fumble touchdown for the Steelers and the cover. Baltimore @ (-7) Dallas. My Pick, Baltimore 27-26. What Happened, Dallas 27-17. I put my faith in the Ravens offense and they put up an explosive 17 points. The Dallas offensive line is historically great and I'm beginning to believe in their 2 rookies. Miami @ (+2.5) LA Rams. My Pick, Miami 24-13. What Happened, Miami 14-10. I hope nobody watched this dreck. It was awful for 3.5 quarters and even the Dolphins 2 TDs to win the game late were boring.
Green Bay @ (-2.5) Washington. My Pick, Washington 34-30. What Happened, Washington 42-24. The Packers are just terrible. I may be riding the Washington wave into big D on this happiest of football Thanksgivings.
Houston @ (-5.5) Oakland. My Pick, Oakland 28-10. What Happened. Oakland 27-20. I'll be honest, this game had me so pumped that I went to bed at kickoff. That's 8:30pm eastern. Not sure how the Texans got to 20. I'd be excited to watch an Oakland - New England AFC Championship game. 

Week 10 - 4-1
Overall - 25-29-2
