Explanations:
I'll just explain a few of my more likely to be controversial picks. First, I have a good feeling about the Browns this week. Mostly because they're at home, the Chargers are terrible (I expect Joe Haden to have like 50 interceptions) and I hate Philip Rivers' face. Second, I think the Eagles pull the upset. Michael Vick's been pretty terrible lately, as has Andy Reid, so naturally they'll pull one out of nowhere to hold onto their jobs for another week. Third, I think Robert Griffin III is going to run all over the old and injured Pittsburgh defense and utterly destroy them on the ground and in the air. Fourth, between the Raiders and the Chiefs, one of them has to win, I guess. Fifth, I think the Saints/Broncos game will be a shootout, but the Saints defense is so godawful, they'll make a bigger mistake first.
