Getting ready to head out for the weekend, so no time for a proper post. Quick run down of what I've seen in the league, then my picks.
I'm not too sure if the NFL is conspiring against the Seahawks, but two of those Percy Harvin touchdowns that were called back were not penalties. While a penalty occurs on nearly every play in the NFL (seriously, watch left tackles. They always jump early) the ones they called either didn't happen or weren't penalties. Combine that with the leaked memo of the league not scheduling Seattle at home in primetime because the games are blow outs - yet thursday night football is a "good" thing - makes me think that the league may be doing this intentionally. I'd say this is me questioning the integrity of the league, but I think this last month plus has shown that the league has no integrity, so I'm not too sure what I can question about them.
Dallas doesn't suck. They are defying every tenet of Jason Garret's coaching philosophy and thriving because of it. If DeMarco Murray can get his fumbling problem under control and they make him the workhorse the entire year, this team is dangerous. Until Tony Romo inevitably Romos all over the place.
I still don't think New England is good, but I have nothing to base it on anymore. I have no idea what is going on in the AFC, it seems like anyone can beat anyone. Except Jacksonville and Oakland. They can't beat anyone.
The picks. Home teams in bold.
