Here are the picks:

Green Bay at Detroit

The Lions aren’t exactly inspiring confidence after losing to the Bucs and Steelers in back-to-back weeks and the Packers looked a lot better with Matt Flynn at the helm Sunday.

It really doesn’t give Packer a fans a lot of faith in Mike McCarthy and the Packer organization when it took them that long to get Flynn in the lineup after virtually every Packer fan wanted Flynn in as soon as Aaron Rodgers was injured.

Despite that fact, I might as well pick my Pack in an upset.

PACKERS 27, LIONS 25

Oakland at Dallas

The Cowboys usually play well on Thanksgiving Day and the Raiders fell back in what is a loaded AFC playoff race last week.

COWBOYS 34, RAIDERS 20

Pittsburgh at Baltimore

The loser of this game could very well be out of the playoff race. Each team has five losses and there’s a lot of good teams in the AFC. Expect a lot of hard hitting and a lot of trash talking.

STEELERS 17, RAVENS 13

Jacksonville at Cleveland

The Jaguars have somehow looked like a winning football team over the last few weeks.

JAGUARS 17, BROWNS 10

Tennessee at Indianapolis

Andrew Luck is very to beat in Indy.

COLTS 27, TITANS 21

Chicago at Minnesota

The Vikings nearly tasted a win in Green Bay and they looked good enough at times for me to think they can beat a Chicago team that has struggled as much as anyone in the last few weeks.

VIKINGS 20, BEARS 17

Miami at N.Y. Jets

I can’t get a grasp on the Jets or Geno Smith. They lost by 25 to the Titans and they lost by 23 to the Bills, but they also beat the Patriots and Saints. They might be the strangest NFL team in recent memory.

JETS 13, DOLPHINS 6

Arizona at Philadelphia

Both of these teams are hitting their strides right now.

CARDINALS 27, EAGLES 25

Tampa Bay at Carolina

The Panthers are legit.

PANTHERS 31, BUCS 17

New England at Houston

The Patriots are starting to look like themselves on offense again and their defense is managing to stay in games, despite not being able to stop the run.

PATRIOTS 38, TEXANS 17

Atlanta at Buffalo

I think Atlanta gave up on the season a long time ago.

BILLS 27, FALCONS 17

St. Louis at San Francisco

The Rams bring a dangerous front four, but I don’t see them being that dangerous in San Francisco.

49ERS 19, RAMS 13

Denver at Kansas City

The Chiefs get another shot at Peyton Manning and they have to feel good as Manning literally looked like old man winter as he watched the Pats come back from down 24 to beat his Broncos. I don’t think Peyton likes the cold and it could be a bit chilly in KC Sunday.

He’ll also have to deal with a packed Arrowhead Stadium, which is one of the toughest places to play in the NFL.

CHIEFS 30, BRONCOS 27

Cincinnati at San Diego

The Bengals have two more wins than S.D., but the Chargers are playing better football right now.

CHARGERS 24, BENGALS 17

N.Y. Giants at Washington

This game would’ve been more interesting if either of these teams had a chance at the postseason, but I think they’re both done.

GIANTS 17, REDSKINS 10

New Orleans at Seattle

The Seahawks are losing two of their cornerbacks to suspensions at the worst time possible. Drew Brees will find the holes in Seattle’s defense and this is a golden opportunity for the Saints to make a big move on home field advantage.

SAINTS 27, SEAHAWKS 17

Last week: 6-8; overall: 99-71
