This week is pretty tough on me, having to decide to go with what my "heart" wants or what my "mind" thinks will happen regarding the Jags/tacks game.


Jags @ Titans:

I have a bad feeling about this one. Sure, I believe Jax is a better team. And, Jax really must have this game to keep division hopes alive. But,,,

Titans have not won a home game this season. In fact, they've lost 11 straight at home. This futility streak is EERILY SIMILAR to the Bucs home futility streak. Bucs hadn't won at home in a long time, until the Jags came to town.

The game a couple weeks ago was very close, much closer than what I thought it would be. The Titans defense did a good job of stalling the Jags offense multiple times. Jags defense and Special Teams really stepped up big time late in the 4th qtr to propel the Jags to victory.

My prediction: Jags "should" win this. They really need it. But, in true #becausejaguars fashion, the Titans only home win this year will come at Jax' expense, snapping the home losing streak.

Titans win in a close one (although I certainly HOPE not!).


Colts @ Steelers:

Last season in Pitt, the Steelers absolutely throttled the Colts. Big Ben had a ridiculously huge game, throwing for like 6 TDs and hundreds of yards. I expect more of the same, as this game is crucial for the Steelers staying in the AFCN Title race. Although, the way the Colts have kept managing to win games with Hasselbeck playing, it certainly wouldn't shock me if they somehow won this. But I don't expect that at all. Steelers win.


Houston @ Buffalo:

Yeah, Texans defense has been playing lights out recently. However, I don't think they're going into Buffalo and getting a win that the Bills desperately need. Bills win.


Last week 2-2

Overall 22-16


This week's picks:

Titans (ugh, #becausejaguars)

Steelers

Bills


Both Colts and Texans lose, which keeps Jags division hopes alive setting up huge division games against those two for Jax.
