Game(s) I Love:
Houston Texans. On paper the teams look pretty even across the board. The Bears defensive line is awesome, but the Texans offensive line is awesome. These are the two best defenses in the league so I expect a low scoring game. Now, there’s a huge discrepancy in the quality of the offenses, specifically the offensive line. Texans have the best offensive line in the league and the Bears offensive line is bad. Also, Arian Foster is leaps and bounds the better running back compared to Matt Forte.
Upset Special(s):
Cincinnati Bengals. I’ll be upfront and say I’m not super confident about this pick, but this is best upset special. Eli Manning has played poorly the last four weeks, couple that with the Bengals hanging tough against teams that have been playing really well (Steelers and Dolphins). Hakeem Nicks still doesn’t look right and Ahmad Bradshaw is questionable so there’s a big opportunity for the Bengals to end their losing streak.
