You know your picks are in trouble when the first two games of the week are on a Thursday -- Thanksgiving Thursday to be precise -- and the home teams both fall flat on their arses. Both Dallas and Detroit failing to win the Turkey Day games? How often does that happen? Oh yeah, in a season in which the Lowly Lions are 0-10 and the Cowering Cowboys are 2-8.
The Lyin's and 'Boys set the trend in a week of home field losers that saw 12 of the 15 home teams toppled. That made for some mediocre records in this week of Gehlke Bros. picks action. Fortunately for the Senior Bro, he picked the right road teams enough times to manage a one-game rally in his quest to recapture the elusive Surfy trophy.
For the week, Glenn and Ben tied for the best record at 9-6, while Sean managed an 8-7 mark. We all correctly predicted wins by Green Bay, Baltimore, San Francisco and Oakland. Surging Washington's victory over the Eagles caught us off guard, as did Arizona's win at San Diego.
ATTENTION, THURSDAY FANS: The powers that be in NawFuL land have blessed us with yet another Thursday game, so this week's picks will again commence a little early. We'll get them posted Thursday (yuch!) morning.
