I apologize for not being more involved in these threads the past few weeks. I guess I felt that limiting exposure was the best way to maintain my composure. Enough of that, on to the picks:

 

Pittsburgh at Indianapolis: Didn't this seem inevitable? I feel like several of us were just waiting for Luck to break down under the immense load that he is being asked to carry. Although Pittsburgh isn't exactly elite, I expect them to roll over a Tolzien-lead offense. Pittsburgh wins this one and maybe we are spared another week of witnessing the infighting going on over there.

 

Tennessee at Chicago: I really can't imagine a John Fox team playing like this. I think Tennessee wins this one handily, but not without a fight.

 

Jacksonville at Buffalo: I echo Bullseye's thoughts / worries on Bortles in this game. I don't think Buffalo is the place for a guy who is having accuracy struggles to figure things out. Buffalo wins this one.

 

San Diego at Houston: I keep going back and forth on this one. Houston has a good defense, but then they gave up two fourth quarter touchdowns to Oakland. San Diego looks well-coached, but they are also 4 - 6. I guess I'll take the home team on this one.

 

Last Week: N/A

Overall: 19 - 8
