2-0/30-13.

After an easy week or two, the picks are all challenging this weekend. Finally! December football is in full swing, and we'll begin to see cream rising to the top. Here's my attempt at picks:

Pats 24 indynoplace 20 - This has all the makings of a game of the week. Belichick with two weeks to prepare for a home tilt against a postseason contender? Yeah, they'll be ready. Indy's not quite ready for this run, and a loss here kills their chance at the Division crown.

tinhorns 16 Duval 10 - So for all the anticipation of the Pats/colts, this is the exact opposite. The rumblings continue to distract coaches and the on-field product reflects the ill-prepared gameplans that have plagued the Jags all season. The tinhorns do little, but little is enough to get past our lowly squad at this point of the year.

tacks 20 Stillers 13 - The tacks front four were enough to harrass the Jags all game a week ago, and the Stillers line isn't going to fare much better. Ben's not going to be able to rely on mobility that Trevor used to evade pressure. Knowing that postseason seeding relies heavily on these last few games, I see the tacks making a big push to claim the top spot.
