I've paid very little attention to the NFL this season, so I demand forgiveness for saying "Atlanta's 13-3? Who plays for them?"
On those Sundays when I've turned to Fox or CBS or NBC I don't recall the Falcons even being on the tube, yet here they are, about to meet the Packers in what looks like a matchup of two very good quarterbacks. Because I've watched parts of some Packers' games, I'll go with: Packers.
The most-hyped game is certainly Jets - Patriots. I'm sorry, but Belichick beats Ryan and Brady beats Sanchez in their respective positions. Patriots.
It's fashionable to diss the Seahawks with their under-.500 record, but I can't see them winning unless Bears' QB Jay Cutler completely implodes (which is not impossible, but). Bears.
The Ravens and Steelers have already played one another twice this year, splitting the season series. Will familiarity breed contempt? Can the Ravens continue to win on the road? Can Roethlisberger keep up his 8-2 record when starting against the Ravens? Pick 'em. I'll take the Steelers on a late field goal.
