Saturday:
Chiefs at Texans
The Chiefs have won 10 in a row and Andy Reid will lose Coach of the Year to Ron Rivera, because the NFL thinks Ron Rivera is a minority.
That's about all I have to say about this game. If Houston wins, its because JJ Watt has 5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 3 batted balls and a pick six where he muscles the ball out of someones hands on a screen pass and runs it back. And if all those things happen, they win by 2.
KC- 24
Houston-17
Steelers at Bengals
Remember when DeAngelo Williams busted his ankle up yesterday? Maybe not. It was probably the most important, determinative event of the day. More important than Denver getting homefield. No, seriously.
Remember last year when Bell got hurt and the "experts" on TV were all, whatevs brah, Ben is Ben and will be Ben, and then the Ravens went into Pittsburgh and did things to the Steelers without obtaining affirmative consent? TRIGGER WARNING: It was rape.
Yeah, well, the dropoff from Bell to Williams was pretty small, I mean there was surely a dropoff but Williams had a lot in the tank and is a veteran with good instincts. He's a complete back, he blocks, he's decent out of the backfield, he can run inside and grind yards, he's a really good NFL player. Now we have Jordan Todman, the guy who couldn't be Denard Robinson's backup in Jacksonville. Uh huh. Did you see a healthy Geno Atkins yesterday, with a healthy Burfict? Cincy's front 7 is gonna force Ben to step up (not run around, but run forward) and pull the trigger. Ben prefers running around. Brown will be octuple covered and Wheaton and Bryant, as stated, are worthless and will do nothing. Also, the Steelers secondary is ****ing atrocious.

Sunday
Seahawks at Vikings
This is the hardest game of the day to pick. I know 38-7 happened a month ago. I know Seattle looked good yesterday. I know the prognosticators will go for Seattle, with their experience, versus the Zimmersota Vikings, who have an old hurt Peterson, a young group of playoff newbs, and a guy who just had the ball stripped from his arms by a kicker. Call it a hunch. Call it my fervent belief that the Vikings front 7 is better than Denvers, better than Houstons, better than Cincys, and EVERYBODY is sleeping on this defense. I think Minnesota will win, but will not win pretty, and it will feel like an upset, probably because it is. But don't you think THEY remember 38-7? Wasn't it like, 65 degrees that day because the planet is broken? It will be like, 10 degrees on Sunday. Wilson won't complete a pass that flies more than 15 yards in the air, and if you haven't been paying attention of late, thats their offense now. Lynch will get bottled up. So will Peterson for that matter but whatever. Out on a limb here.

Packers at Redskins
Lets just put this out there, right now, once and for all. I once said Rodgers was overrated on this site, and people went ape**** and pounded on their desks and howled and rended their garments and Primo threw his own feces through the bars of his cage and chimped out on me.
Yeah, well, he can't overcome this talent poor, dumbed down Packers passing offense, as it exists right now. I predict a Redskins victory by 2 scores. This is a shadow of the old Packers team. Washington will throw downfield at will, Washington will do a better job of pass protection than the Vikings did yesterday, and Washington will win without establishing a running game. I called it last week, and its happening.
