Also nice to see the Washington Huskies recover from an 0-12 season in 2008 to become bowl elligible with their win in the Apple Cup against the Washington State Cougars. That program hasn't been to a bowl since 2002 and is set for a Holiday Bowl appearance.
Now time for us to make picks for the Sunday NFL matchups. As part of our 5 best bets earlier this week we liked Chicago, St. Louis, and New England. The theme of the week appears to be revenge - so now time to round out the top five:
Denver @ Kansas City (-9.0)
The Chiefs will be up for revenge after the no-handshake blowout these two teams played a few weeks ago. They will not be afraid to run up the score if given the opportunity. Take the motivated home team at Arrowhead in this matchup. Broncos 14 Chiefs 44
A lot has changed since Tennesse won in their earlier matchup about a month ago. Tennesee has been in freefall with no QB and hoping that Kerry Collins is healthy enough to start Sunday after a dismal showing by Rusty Smith. (No surprise there!) Jacksonville will also have the 'revenge' word in mind and would like to beat the Titans this week. The Jaguars are not an elite team but have played enough and should get it done here. Jacksonville 24 Tennesse 20
Other leanings this week:
Bills (+6) @ Vikings. Vikings have key injuries to stars Steve Hutchingson, Arian Peterson, and Percy Harvin. Also should be noted the Bills haven't lost a game by more than 3 points since Week #5.
Saints (-7) @ Bengals. The Bengals are a bad team and the Saints are playing well - mostly a gut call here.
You may also want to add Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and the Giants to make up a 10-game parlay/teaser for fun. Good Luck in Week #13.
