Weekly NFL Picks Thread

Go Lions. 6-3 and on top of the NFC North. I keep having to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming.

I'm really liking the close race in the NFC North, and frankly, I'd prefer to see Detroit with a division win over Chicago or Green Bay. It's conceivable that a wildcard *could* come out of that division as well, but they'll need some help from the Niners or Panthers. There's really only a few teams in the NFC that have practically no chance at all of a wildcard berth: Atlanta, Tampa, and Minnesota.

And fuck the Colts. How do you go from beating Denver one week to getting your ass handed to you by St. Louis two weeks later?

The Rams have been pretty inconsistent this year, but I'd say they are easily the best 4th place team in the entire league. They're capable of beating tough teams - It really has come down to whether or not they show up to play, which for the most part they have not.
