Just for the record, you can edit your posts after the Thursday game, in case you change your mind.  Just don't change your Thursday prediction.  If you do, I'll know.  In the event the Power Rankings are late again, Thursday's game can be judged on last week's list.

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh-Ahh. The two lesser teams of the AFC North square off. but Cleveland is coming off a win though so i'm picking them.

Sunday, December 10
Atlanta @ Tampa Bay-Jim Mora will crack down on his players... If he hasn't yet. Last week was pretty good. Michael Vick is bad to his old ways, the recievers dropped less balls, and the whole team improved.
Baltimore @ Kansas City-That's right. I think KC is out of the playoff race.
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville !US!-That's right! ALL the teams in the NFL will start running against the colts to make them show themselves as a bad team!
Minnesota @ Detroit-Minnesota should be able to shut down the run, forcing the lions to pass. But with Jon Kitna, I wouldn't be so sure about anything.
New England @ Miami-Miami is on fire, and New England should be the team to pour it out.
NY Giants @ Carolina-NY is having disputes in the locker room, and Carolina isn't. The team that works together better is usually the better one.
Oakland @ Cincinnati-Pretty much a sleeper.
Philadelphia @ Washington-Philly missing McNabb? Well Washington will make you feel worse.
Tennessee @ Houston-Tennesse will be the team of the future in the AFC! Vince Young babay!
Green Bay @ San Francisco-SF is a team under the radar and should be able to beat the pack.
Seattle @ Arizona-Pretty much also a sleeper.
Buffalo @ NY Jets-Well NY is also a team under the radar. They should be able to beat one of the worst teams in the AFC East.
Denver @ San Diego-This game is VITAL to Denver's playoff run. Lose this game, you're done Mike. Shanahan is a good coach. I know he should be able to motivate his players to focus better.
New Orleans @ Dallas ?US?-Not sure if this is an upset though. But Dallas is the NFC  team of the future.

Monday, December 11
Chicago @ St Louis-The beginning of the season was probably a fluke for St. Louis.

that's what im gonna do. oh and, im gonna try to do alternative quotes again this week.

You get 3 points instead of one for the upset pick. No thats it....other than post the score for the Monday Night game, but thats only for tiebrakers.

Thursday, December 7
Cleveland @ Pittsburgh Not much to say about this game. I think Cleveland has this locked.

Sunday, December 10
Atlanta @ Tampa Bay Tampa Bay's hopes are done for.
Baltimore @ Kansas City A good game but I believe Baltimore comes out on top.
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville Jacksonville has been up and down all season. One week they beat a good team the next they lose badly to a bad team.
Minnesota @ Detroit Detroit had a good performance against New England. Or was that just that Tom Brady had a bad one?
New England @ Miami (US)Tom Brady can't throw any bad passes against this team or they blow it. And that will be hard when he has people like Jason Taylor in his face.
NY Giants @ Carolina  A close game. Eli Manning will be the one to ruin it though.
Oakland @ Cincinnati  Oakland should just lose the rest of their games on purpose to seal the #1 draft pick. And they start here. Although, they would lose this anyway.
Philadelphia @ Washington Jeff Garcia had a good performance last week. Let's see if he can against the Skins secondary.
Tennessee @ Houston  Wow Tennessee is doing good. They just might make the playoffs too.
Green Bay @ San Francisco  Frank Gore will run all over this defense.
Seattle @ Arizona Dennis Green after the game: THE SEAHAWKS ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE! AND WE LETTHEM OFF THE HOOK!
Buffalo @ NY Jets  Buffalo isn't a good or bad team but I don't think they can hold onto this one.
Denver @ San Diego  LT will win this for San Diego. Somehow he will be the one to make the key play to seal the win.
New Orleans @ Dallas  Game of the Week but Dallas comes through, most likely with Martin Gramatica making another GW field goal.

Monday, December 11
Chicago @ St Louis If Rex Grossman plays bad in this one, bench him Lovie.
CHI: 23  STL: 17

Thursday, December 7
Cleveland @ Pittsburgh - I angered the football gods by not takin my Brownies. It shall NEVER happen again.

Sunday, December 10
Atlanta @ Tampa Bay - Atalnta should just run the ball every down. Or let Vick make all the play calls.
Baltimore @ Kansas City - KC should be able to run on Baltimore, allowing Gonzo to get open.
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville - Jacksonville seems to be one of the few teams to play Indy well, like Tennessee.
Minnesota @ Detroit - Boring.
New England @ Miami - Why does NE keep struggling so much against crap teams?
NY Giants @ Carolina - Coinage.
Oakland @ Cincinnati - Not picking Oakland. Especially not with the way the Bengals have played lately.
Philadelphia @ Washington - A coin game if their ever was one.
Tennessee @ Houston - The Texans can win with negative passing yards? Thats just not fair.
Green Bay @ San Francisco - At least Hawk is playing good for Green Bay.
Seattle @ Arizona - Seattle is maybe the most complete team in the NFC again.
Buffalo @ NY Jets - Willis McGahee gashes the Jets all the time. Weird.(US)
Denver @ San Diego - San Diego is playing the best in the NFL now.
New Orleans @ Dallas - Battle of two of the more uplifting stories this football year in Romo and the Saints.

Monday, December 11
Chicago @ St Louis - I'll lose this because of the ridiculas amount of luck the Bears have. Watch.

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh-Parker runs all over Browns D, loss of Frye hurts Browns even after win against Chiefs

Sunday, December 10
Atlanta @ Tampa Bay- Vick looks to be back on track, key to winning: Get Norwood more carries!!
Baltimore @ Kansas City- Ravens rebound after loss to Bengals
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville- Colts will not lose 2 in a row
Minnesota @ Detroit-I got a feeling the Lions will win after almost beating Pats, and Johnson throwing 4 picks against the Bears doesnt help the Vikes
New England @ Miami- Pats win big after barely beating the Lions
NY Giants @ Carolina- Eli looked better despite loss, Carolina will not recover after Monday night loss
Oakland @ Cincinnati- Carson and Chad light up Raiders D
Philadelphia @ Washington- Eagles are energized with new QB and now have realistic playoff hopes.
Tennessee @ Houston US-My Texans win 2 in a row, and get some positive passing yards as well:)
Green Bay @ San Francisco-Pack is horrible, Niners get back on track
Seattle @ Arizona- Arizona's win against Rams proves nothing, they still suck
Buffalo @ NY Jets-The Jets are HOT!!!
Denver @ San Diego-I will pick the Chargers for the rest of the year, you can not lose with LT
New Orleans @ Dallas-Romo and co. win again

Monday, December 11
Chicago @ St Louis- After losing to the Cards and Bulger ripping his teammates, the Rams have no hope of winning

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh Tough to pick because neither team is very consistant.  Willie Parker is what wins this.

Sunday, December 10
Atlanta @ Tampa Bay I think the Falcons are going to get back to what makes them good.
Baltimore @ Kansas CityTough choice.  I'll go with KC, cause I think the Ravens are slowing.
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville Colts have lost 2-in-a-row, come back with a vengeance.  If not, this team is in deep trouble.
Minnesota @ Detroit Lions are horrible, Vikings are just bad.
New England @ Miami Patriots are a better team, Harringtons Thnxgiving performance was a fluke.
NY Giants @ CarolinaThe Giants always suck in the second half of the season.
Oakland @ CincinnatiThis might be a better game than it looks like on paper.  Bengals win a close one.
Philadelphia @ Washington I think the Eagles will make a run for the playoffs.
Tennessee @ Houston I love Houston, I just don't have much faith in them right now, especially against a hot team like the Titans
Green Bay @ San FranciscoI've given the Pack enough chances to get me points, they fail everytime
Seattle @ Arizona The big pieces are healthy now, so watch out
Buffalo @ NY JetsOnly because they're at home
Denver @ San DiegoI have no faith in Cutler
New Orleans @ DallasI can't wait for this game.  Cowboys in a close one.

Monday, December 11
Chicago @ St Louis 2tontom is right, the Bears have an unbelievable amount of luck.
