I'm really sucking at my picks this season. Remember last week's Power Index? 4 of my top 5 teams lost last week. It probably would've been five had Tennessee not had a bye.
Before we get to this week's picks, here's a math problem for you:
If A>B and B>C and C>D, then A should be greater than D, right?
WRONG!
The Panthers thrashed the Chiefs 34-0. (A>B).
The Chiefs humiliated the Broncos 33-19 (B>C).
The Broncos beat the Bucs 16-13 (C>D).
The Bucs stomped the Panthers 27-3 (D>A).
Just proves how wacky this season has been.
If I don't do considerably better with this week's picks, I'm going to have my daughter pick the games next week. Here are this week's picks (home teams in CAPS, Bill's picks in red):
Titans (-9) over CHIEFS
Cowboys (-7) over RAMS
Chargers (PK) over BILLS
Steelers (-9.5) over BENGALS
DOLPHINS (-3) over Ravens
BEARS (-3) over Vikings
PANTHERS (-3) over Saints
GIANTS (-10.5) over Niners
Lions (+9.5) over TEXANS
Colts (-1.5) over PACKERS
Jets (-3) over RAIDERS
REDSKINS (-7.5) over Browns
BUCS (-10.5) over Seahawks
Broncos (+3.5) over PATRIOTS
