I’ve got to go to an outdoor family birthday shindig shortly, so I’m going to miss most the action. But here are my fearless picks:
As I’ve freely admitted, wishful thinking is a factor in some of my picks (except for the Bucs, where my hard-won pessimism manifests), but my track record on bending events to my will is spotty at best. Perhaps it’s time for a new strategy…
The Patriots are an absolute lock to win tomorrow. They are going to beat the Bills and beat them soundly — you can take that to the bank. By the shimmering blue light in Tom Brady’s irises to the dark, shadowed shelter in the hollow of His chin dimple, the New England Patriots are going to win!
Open thread!

Despite having a bye this week, the Saints defense will give up a record number of points.
Bitter Old Man
Don’t bet against the Lions! This is the time of the year when they usually start winning in order to screw up their draft position. I think Oakland is the favorite, so the Lions can’t win without covering.
Not that I recommend betting on the Lions, either.

@Baud: Nah, they fired Rob Ryan, so they should do better today.

Today is huge for the Packers. Either they get their shit together and start playing like they did at the beginning of the season or their slump endangers their season.

Best thing about the Pats playing on Monday is that I don’t give my family further reason to take away my phone to prevent my obsessive refreshing of the score (as I pretend to pay attention to them, and try to stick to my resolution of watching an amount of NFL that asymptotically approaches zero). At least on Monday evening I can hide from scrutiny more easily.
redshirt
Ah, Betty trying the old “reverse jinx” trick.
Objectively, Mrs. Cracker, I give the Bills a decent shot. The Pats have suffered a lot of big injuries the past few weeks, and the Bills have been playing well. That said, Pats 27, Bills 20.
My UPSET LOCK OF THE WEEK is Chicago over Denver. Book it, Libs.

B Crack, you’re picking Brock O’s first start at CHI for the Broncos? Think that maybe their tenacious D may be revitalized and shut down the Bears run game (since Alshon is out Langford is all the O da Bearz have) ?

I like the Cards in their matchup v Cincy and I simply have no idea what kind of team the Atlanta Falcons are right now.

MSNBC: The Belgium Minister is speaking native Flemish. We don’t have a translator for that but we’re going to continue to listen to him for a while anyway.

@redshirt: I’m a no-cable guy (or rather, minimal cable that does not include ESPN, and kept only because it is, bizarrely, cheaper to get the two-service bundle than just reasonable internet speeds). But, of course, I’m a local, so they serve the game up to us on NBC.

@Corner Stone:
Now that’s funny. I wonder if they had their French interpreter all ready to go, and what followed was a few minutes of utter panic as their French interpreter said, “Um… he’s not speaking French,” and everyone asked, “What language is it, then?,” until someone finally realized it was Flemish, and put out an SOS asking if anyone in the building is fluent in Flemish. Meanwhile, the video feed played on…

@Tom Levenson: The dumb media market rules means the rest of New England outside of the Boston metro area – the actual “New England” in the “New England Patriots” get screwed.

@Corner Stone: Sorry, my first instinct is that a lack of a translator wouldn’t impede comprehension by the audience in any form, shape or fashion, but then I remembered the journalists have a mild interest in getting any examples of red-blooded bomb them all quotes, so maybe would regret the absence (saves effort of having to invent rationales).
Corner Stone
@CaseyL: They did have their French translator there. The minister spoke in French for a bit but apparently someone asked him a question in Flemish and that’s how he answered. I do imagine it caught MSNBC by surprise.
The other day when Kerry gave his speech in French they were translating it and then it shifted to his Russian counterpart and the translator said on air, “He’s speaking Russian. I don’t speak that.”

@Brachiator: MSNBC tells me that the city of Brussels is on “maximum” threat level and the areas in the rest of Belgium one level lower. They have shut down mass transit and now schools. Whatever intel they got a hold of, it certainly made their nether regions pucker and pucker hardcore.
FlyingToaster
@scav: Oddly enough, MSNBC is located in NYC, where there are translators available around the clock (see: United Nations).
I think it’s because the higher-ups at Comcast don’t know that Belgium is made up of Flemings (speaking a variant of Dutch) and Walloons (speaking a variant of French). Dog help them if you have to interview someone from Switzerland*. So they don’t want to staff up for some language that nobody knows about*.

@JPL: I think one concern is that the house in Saint-Denis that was raided apparently was prepared for a new attack. One open question in all of this is who is making the suicide bombs? The worry is that they’re coming out of Brussels and that there is an undiscovered bomb factory that is presumably equipped to strike and the authorities are just hoping to tighten things down enough that they can close in on it. It may be easier to find new people to coordinate attacks than find people who are experienced at making these kinds of bombs, so you want to root out the latter more than the former.

@redshirt: Jamie Collins, who was set to return, is apparently not playing against the Bills Monday and is not over his going on 2 weeks illness.
Edelman out until start of post-season, Lewis out for entire season, Solder gone for the season, Collins still out, Marcus Cannon is questionable, Vollmer is questionable, and now Chandler Jones has a nagging abdomen injury.
I’m just praying Brady stays upright most of the game, we play kinda soft and just eek out a win without having to push too hard. The boys need some rest.
Our bye week came way too early in the season.

@Goblue72: Collins is over whatever mysterious illness he had, but apparently he lost over 20 pounds and so needs to get back in shape. Hopefully he’s back for Denver.

@redshirt: True. And non-football related injuries can be kept vague on the injury reports.
The Jones thing freaked me out. He has a history of being unable to stay healthy. But he’s such a disruptive force. It’s been so long since we’ve had a real pass rush. This year’s front 7 are reminding me of the days of Seymour, McGinest, Warren and Bruschi.
redshirt
@Goblue72: Yeah, and the secondary is way better than anyone thought it would be. I feel like we might have to rely on our D for a few weeks until the offense can retool with the loss of Lewis and Edelman.
Corner Stone
Trick play TD for Texans! Yates, backward pass to Cecil Shorts and then a TD to Blue!
redshirt
What a play by Houston!
Right, Corner Stone? You must feel so validated.
Goblue72
@redshirt: Secondary a pleasant surprise. Though I expect our really good play up front has been making the backfield look better. The team is disrupting the QB and stuffing the run quite well. Overall, our defense is ranked middle of the pack in the NFL, but we’re #2 against the run and #3 in team sack totals, but kinda middling against the pass.

@redshirt: That is a total fanboi statement.
Revis may be starting the downside of his career. He’s getting older and had an ACL injury a couple years back. Coaches will need to use him a wee bit differently than just letting him do his thing. But he’s a first ballot HOF lock and still a very good player.
Butler is holding his own in this his second season, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Davebo
@redshirt: Wohoo! Internet grudges are the new monkey grass.

@Goblue72: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Revis has had a notably down year. Butler is playing great – he shut down Beckham last week with one on one coverage.

Dumb play call by the Bears on that conversion.
goblue72
@marduk: I don’t think anything I wrote indicates contrary. Yes, Revis skills are declining, and yes, Butler is holding his own.
But, its only his second season. He didn’t look all that hot against Decker a few weeks ago in the Jets game. And at some point, he needs to go from breaking up passing plays, to forcing more turnovers. He’s 1 interception so far this season. Revis, even in his decline, has 3.
Like I said, coaches will need to use Revis a little differently. BB knew what he was doing with Revis last season, used him appropriately, and Revis finished the season as the Pats best defensive player. Just throwing him man-on-man at every team’s #1 and letting him do “Revis Island” isn’t going to work as well going forward. That said, I don’t think Bowles is that coach. To the degree Revis wanted to go out on a high note with the back-end of his career, he needed to chase the money less and chase the coach more. I have no doubt that if he was still on the Pats that BB would use him well and he’d be the best player on their secondary.
