Not much to argue here in first listing. There are several games that could go either way this week as well as a few that you could just about bet your house on.

Will argue with changes DJ comes up with.

This is an agreed upon predetermined topic TD.

I guess that is all.

Bring it Cal Boy!

Okay, the Dallas / TB game is One I just went on a hunch. Dallas is 0-2 last two weeks and are down mentally. That usually spells disaster for them when Romo tries to do too much. It was a hunch; or a typo, not sure which; not based on anything else.

However, the Carolina vs Houston game. Houston has clinched a PO spot sure, but a first week bye would go a very long way toward their playoff path. The more wins they can put on the board the better. No reason at all to let off the pedal this week. Their defense is still top notch and they are at home. They WILL survive the Newton attack and win.

Detroit and Oakland. I KNEW WE WOULD BE ARGUING THIS ONE. Once a homer always a homer right DJ?

But seriously, even without Suh, the Lions prevail this week. Oakland's last home win was against a Cutler-less Bears. Their two home games prior to that they LOST to Denver and got blew out by KC.

Other than your homeristic views of the Raiders, (or is this game on your Christmas wish list?), I don't see where they beat a surging Lions team.

Okay bucs win.

Panthers and Raiders do not>

I am surprised that you bring up Palmer's stats against the Lions. That was when he was with the Bengals and had a combined 21-11 record those two years while the Lions had a combined record of 7-25 during those same years.

This is not the same Lions team he faced the other two times. And what's more "non revealing" about the stats you quoted is that they get lopsided due to the one game he had against them in which he completed 78% of his passes against a 5-11 team.

What it also does not show is that he had 2 INTs in both games against them. So, 4 picks in two games is not very good. Will probably be 6 for 3 after Sunday's game.

Panthers win against Washington, Tampa, Minnesota and Indy. They will NOT beat Houston this week. In fact CN better put his head on a swivel because the Texans D is coming for him. I understand this is your upset alert of the week.

But in predictions, how have you faired against mine this year. Let's take a quick look back.

I had LSU you had Bama
I had UCLA you had ASU
I had Okie State you had OU

these are the ones we debated most. I was 3-0.

You argue well, predict like doodoo.
