Lou's Week 14 Pro Picks

Cleveland over Pittsburgh
Cleveland hasn’t won any games recently, but they are playing some of their best football all season. The Steelers are playing some of their worst, giving Cleveland a chance to upset at home. Brown’s RB Jerome Harrison is quietly developing as one of the team’s best players and will get the majority of touches now that Jamal Lewis is out for the season. The Steelers secondary is hurting, notably Troy Polamalu, who is out. I predict the Browns to avenge their early season lost to the stumbling Steelers and snatch them out of playoff contention at home on national television.

Indianapolis over Denver
Denver is heating up and looking strong on both sides of the ball the past two games, but their last two opponents were the sleeping NY Giants and the slacking Kansas City Chiefs.  The Broncos don't have a chance against the the high-flying Colt's offense hungry for one more win to clinch home-field advantage.

Buffalo over Kansas City
Kansas City is horrible at rushing the passer, accumulating only 17 team sacks on the season.  Matt Cassel is 3rd most in getting sacked this season and the Bill's D is on fire with eight sacks and six picks in the last three games.  Buffalo's D also coughs up a TD less per game.  Unlike the AFC West, the AFC East is still up for grabs and even Buffalo could make a run for the division.  The Bills win this one.

Minnesota over Cincinnati
New Orleans over Atlanta
Green Bay over Chicago
New England over Carolina
Miami over Jacksonville
New York Jets over Tampa Bay
Seattle over Houston
Baltimore over Detroit
San Diego over Dallas
Tennessee over St. Louis
Oakland over Washington
Philadelphia over NY Giants
Arizona over San Francisco
