Week 12 Picks And Some Minor Venting

 Not a great week last week, but I did get back on the winning side with an 8-6 tally. And the leader over at CBS Sports.com went 5-9, allowing me to gain three games on him and pull into a tie at the top of their group of chuds making picks on every game.

Maybe I'm being unfair calling them chuds; I don't know them. Perhaps they are fine people.

But they are sportswriters by profession, so the odds are pretty good that at least some of them are brain dead fascists who began their journalism careers by shoving hatpins through their frontal lobes, eventually starting podcasts where they yell at each other angrily, as if this stuff was actually important and wasn't going to be decided on the field anyway.

But enough prologue. The picks:
