I had a pretty good week, but not good enough. Do you think I can use a second round draft choice to get the Sports Illiterate guy who tagged Houston to win the Series 2 years ago to help me with my picks?
We start with what once would have been considered the game to determine last place in the AFC East. No longer is it so; Buffalo has become real, or it's one heck of a mirage.

Ummmm, yeah. Sorry Houston, but Indy by 3 and take the damn lock off! Watson was quickly becoming one of my favorite players in the league. Hope he can come back 100% next season.
