The Hendry's quarter may have beaten me on Thanksgiving day, but it didn't beat me today or this week. For the second straight week, my victory over the coin is assured prior to the Monday Night finale.
My record is currently 12-3, and likely to go 13-3. Hendry's quarter is currently 8-7, and likely to go 9-7. We both have the Saints favored tomorrow night. My error rate is less than half of the random coin toss. The quarter picked the Vikings, Jags, Bucs, Colts, Seahawks, Bears and Chiefs, all of whom lost. This is a 5-7 record on Sunday. On the other hand, I only missed on the Rams and Seahawks, giving me a 10-2 record on Sunday.
If I had simply continued to roll with my Ravens and if I had not been such a hommer with my Rams, I could have been 14-1 right now. As you will recall, I was skeptical of my Rams, but I couldn't bring myself to pick the Cardinals. That was too much to bare. I made a mistake there. Next time, grin and bare it like a bear. It is what it is.

2011 NFL Season, Week 12 Predictions
So, be warned: I have two totally unjustifiable homer picks on my slate today. I picked my Rams against the Cardinals, even thought I am skeptical that we will win. I pick the Broncos against the Chargers, even thought I think it's a 50/50 toss up.
The two big games on the horizon are the 49ers @ Ravens and Giants @ Saints.
The first is a game pitting the #2 and #3 ranked powers in the NFL... and the coaches are brothers too. This should spoil Thanksgiving dinner for sure. It's a tough pick, but I have to go with my gut on this one. I think the 49ers prevail. The Ravens are coming off another gutsy emotional win in the conference. That means it's time for a let-down. They also lack Ray Lewis in the middle. I don't like any of these facts. Although it pains me to do it, I must pick the 49ers here.
The second game pits the Giants and the Saints, and it's a game that may determine the top-wildcard birth in the NFC. Although it pains me to say it, I think the Giants are going to lose their 3rd straight game. I think the Saints and their home-field advantage will be overwhelming in this game. Their loss to the Eagles really shook my confidence in the Giants.
The rest of the games are pretty straight up-and-down choices.
