NFL Pigskin Pigsplosion Picks
CRM: Local sports radio guy was talking about Joe Flacco this week. Said Flacco was a step below elite. I laughed. (Redskins)
Kansas City (+6.5) @ Cleveland
Lisk: Peyton Hillis and Joe Thomas are having the worst feud between a fullback and a tackle ever. (Browns)
CRM: Puke. (Chiefs)
San Diego (+7.5) @ Pittsburgh
Lisk: Norv Turner is going to be fired, everyone. This is when Norv Turner proceeds to not get fired. (Chargers)
CRM: Maybe there’s a Law & Order marathon on Sunday? (Steelers)
Tennessee (+6) @ Indianapolis
Lisk: The Colts are underdogs for the first 55 minutes in this one, but expected to roll late (Titans)
CRM: Do you think the Titans miss Matt Hasselbeck more than the Colts miss Peyton Manning? (Colts)
New York Jets (-3) @Jacksonville
Lisk: The loser has to take Tim Tebow. (Jets)
CRM: The Jaguars would gladly take Tim Tebow because their coach probably doesn’t hate Tim Tebow as much as Rex Ryan hates Tim Tebow. (Jets)
Chicago (-3) @ Minnesota
Lisk: Mr. Cavallari and Mr. Steele in a cage match in this one. (Bears)

Atlanta (-3.5) @ Carolina
Lisk: The Panthers are furiously practicing situational football this week so they have all the possible ways of losing covered. (Panthers)
CRM: The Falcons playoff loss is going to be so great. (Falcons)
Philadelphia (+7.5) @ Tampa Bay
Lisk: Saying Bryce Brown carries a football like a loaf of bread is an insult to people who actually carry loaves of bread. (Bucs)
CRM: Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy were on my fantasy team this year. /weeps for what could have been (Bucs)
St. Louis (+3) @ Buffalo
Lisk: Both of these teams have had Ryan Fitzpatrick quarterback them. In other news, both of these teams never make the playoffs. (Bills)
CRM: If the Bills would just give Fitzpatrick and extension, he could stop worrying and play football. (Bills)
Dallas (+3) @ Cincinnati
Lisk: Geno Atkins is going against the Dallas offensive line. It’s a mismatch, even if no one else plays with him. (Cowboys)
CRM: Andy Dalton is my ginger fantasy hero. That sounds weird in almost every context. (Bengals)
CRM: Alex Smith was turned into an expert game manager and now he has to sit the bench. Life is not fair. (49ers)
New Orleans (+5) @ New York Giants
Lisk: Drew Brees is the quarterback on half my fantasy teams in the playoff this week. He better decide to actually show up and throw to the right team. (Giants)

Houston (+4) @ New England

CRM: Both these teams use a bunch of running backs. I think. (Patriots)
