So let's update the scoreboard including Thanksgiving games

Points: Bills, Bengals, Titans, Cowboys, Ravens, Bears (TH), Bills (TH), Saints (TH)

8-7 for a total of 84-76

Victories: Browns, Bills, Steelers, Bears, Saints, Titans, Pats, Ravens. Bears (TH), Saints (TH)

10-6 for a total of 114-64

So coming down the home stretch:

Packers (-6) @ Giants: Packers should be playing angry after getting blown out by the Niners. The Giants are in deep trouble in this one

Points: Packers
Victory: Packers

Redskins @ Panthers (-10): This spread scares me a bit but Kyle Allen's renaissance against the Saints makes me more comfortable in taking the Panthers

Points: Panthers
Victory: Panthers

Niners @ Ravens (-5): The clear game of the week. Both teams like to run the ball so it should be a quick game relatively speaking. I want this to be close but I remember the Raiders coming east last week. And that spread is perfectly placed. Give me the Ravens

Points: Ravens
Victory: Ravens

Titans @ Colts (-1.5): PICK'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Titans control their own destiny as they have 3 games left with the Colts and Texans. The Colts have been up and down and banged up all year. I like Tennessee because I just see more explosiveness from them right now

Victory: Titans

Eagles (-10) @ Dolphins: Should the Eagles be trusted with this sort of a spread on the road? I don't really know. I'm going to take the Dolphins with the points but not be happy about it

Points: Dolphins
Victory: Eagles

Buccaneers (-2.5) @ Jaguars: The Buccaneers have been this middling team that you hear about from time to time. Their defense is bad but I don't think the Jaguars can take advantage of that.

Points: Bucs
Victory: Bucs

Jets (-3) @ Bengals: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!
This is the Bengals Super Bowl and they know it. Because of Washington winning last week, even if the Bengals get a win, their top pick is safe. They've brought back Andy Dalton specifically for the purpose of winning this game. Their defense has been hanging in tough.And I think they will go all in for this one.

Points: Bengals
Victory: Bengals

Browns (-2) @ Steelers: PICK'EM #2!!!!!!
The rematch of the Helmetgate incident. I think the Steelers will play tough, but the Browns seem to have found something in recent weeks. Give me the Browns to sweep

Victory: Browns

Rams (-3) @ Cardinals: Cardinals have been tricky this year but the Rams, like the Packers, would like to avenge an embarrassment the previous week.

Points: Rams
Victory: Rams

Raiders @ Chiefs (-11): Chiefs will win this game but in the tone of the previous contest, Raiders will show up and play hard after an embarrassment the previous week. Spread's a little big for me.

Points: Raiders
Victory: Chiefs

Chargers (-3) @ Broncos: Two teams who have cornered the market on heartbreaking losses. In this case I just think the Chargers are just more talented and they will win.

Points: Chargers
Victory: Chargers

Patriots (-3) @ Texans: This Pats defense is so tuned in right now that no QB is safe. And that counts for Deshaun Watson too.

Points: Pats
Victory: Pats

Vikings @ Seahawks (-3): Seahawks have the homefield so I like them to win, but the Vikings will keep this very close and I wouldn't be surprised to see them win. I will take the points in this case.

Points: Vikings
Victory: Seahawks
