The Thursday Night game got us off to a terrible start, but with Kat and me in Chicago for the weekend I only have a couple sentences to support all of these road teams. Good luck!

Marcus Mariota’s injury status has the line for the Titans-Texans game up in the air, but we’re picking the other 14 games in a festive feast of financial folly. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

This late in the season, we should start seeing the true playoff contenders handily beating lesser teams. We’re picking the full slate, but focusing more on teams like Carolina, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans who have a chance to solidify their status with convincing wins over sub-.500 teams.

Being nervous about sustained success can’t stop us from picking all 14 games this week. Also, don’t watch San Francisco vs. the Giants on Monday night. We can’t support such poor scheduling.

With real-life obligations, Truck abbreviates the picks this week to two sentences each.
