Most of my picks were "just because" kind of picks - just because this team is doing better, just because that teams has won more games lately.  There were a couple that gave me pause however: the Jaguars/Steelers game I picked the Steelers because it looks like Polamalu is going to play.  The Cardinals/Saints game was a bit tough to pick too, but I went with the Saints because they'll be at home.  The Cardinals are 2-5 on the road, and though the Saints are 2-4 at home, they have a better conference record than the Cardinals do.  The Broncos/Texans game was equally tough to pick.  The Texans do better at home than the Broncos do on the road, but the Broncos have a better conference record than the Texans do.  Both teams are 6-7.  I really flipped back and forth on this game.  In the end I picked the Texans because they'll be at home, and they have more net points. 

Happy Football!

Go Patriots!
