I pick ’em every week and have for years. This season, I’ve been doing most of my picks right here on bleacherreport.com and also over at my site at www.sports-uncut.com.

Going into last week (eleven), I was a solid if unspectacular 103-42, good for a 70.6 percent accuracy rate. Last season was my personal best of 80 percent. This year, I’m looking to improve upon that.

Last week I actually didn’t have time to do the article as work requirements kept me away, however I did pick in my local pool and I ended up 11-4 for the week and my picks here never vary from those. I missed the Pittsburgh vs. Chiefs game, as I picked the Steelers. I missed the Falcons/Giants game, as I thought Matty Ice would be solid against the G-Men. I missed the Cincy/Oakland game, as basically everyone else did….who’d have though hat game would play out like that? And finally, I also missed the Houston/Tennessee game last night as I though Schaub would have a monster night.

This week, there are 3 games on Thursday, which means plenty of time to gorge yourself and ample opportunities to watch some pigskin! You’ve got Green Bay @ Detroit on Fox, Oakland @ Dallas on CBS and of course the G-Men @ Denver on Thursday Night Football on NFL network.

There are some good games and intriguing matchups on the slate for this week. As always, I’m not picking the spread here folks; I’m picking the straight up winner.

Record:

Record from Two Weeks Previous (10): 10-5

Record from Last Week (11): 11-4

Record coming into Week (12): 114 – 46 (72.5 percent)

Now that the records are out of the way, let’s get right to it!
