Picks wise, I have barely climbed above .500 for the year, so I guess there's that.

Jaguars (4-8) at tacks (6-6)-Since the Jaguars are still technically mathematically, microscopically alive for a playoff spot, I will root like hell for them to win, especially if it potentially means playing spoiler against the tacks in the process.  The Jaguars do get Leonard Fournette back from suspension, and are coming off a brilliant defensive performance against the previously red hot Colts.  But who am I kidding?  For whatever deal with the devil the tacks have made, they have our number, they are healthier than we are, and they are home on a short week.  tacks win 23-10.

Colts (6-6) at Texans (9-3)-In fairness to the Colts, they were red hot going into last week's shutout against the Jaguars.  Despite many believing the Jaguars' defense has underachieved, even with that, they are still pretty good, ranking 3rd overall.  But the thing is, the Texans defense at home is capable of causing problems for the Colts as well.  No, they don't have the Jaguars' secondary, they do have a front seven capable of shutting down the run and pressuring Luck.  What they don't have in the secondary, the help they get from the offense more than compensates.  Texans beat Colts 28-17.

Last week:  2-1
Overall:  20-19

Jags - because I don't care, not picking the tacks against the jags
Texans - because they are better
19-17
1-2 last week
