Who are you going with this weekend Tony?
I have Denver, Seattle, Patriots and Bears.
I'd like to see Bills, but it's not looking good with all the turnovers.
After that I like, Seattle, Texans, and Bears. We seem to disagree only on the American Conference.
-

But honestly, none of these teams winning would surprise me. Only reason I'm picking the Texans is because I think you can't run against them and I'm still unsure of Maye's unproven passing game in pressure situations.

Looks like Bo Nix broke his ankle in OT, so their run might not last much longer.
