Actual: Packers 34 Lions 12
Maybe I came blame this on the fact that Daunte Culpepper didn't start, as I expected he would. And why didn't he? It seems unnecessary to start the injured Matthew Stafford, even if his left shoulder wasn't going to get any worse. The Packers actually have the league's best defense right now (yardage). I, for one, am shocked.
Prediction: Cowboys 16 Raiders 13
Actual: Cowboys 24 Raiders 7
The Raiders didn't carry any momentum over from their upset of the Bengals. The Cowboys just did what they had to, and left with a win and a 10-day layoff.
Prediction: Giants 27 Broncos 23
Actual: Broncos 26 Giants 6
I spent an entire paragraph talking about how the Broncos actually were a good team, and their six-game winning streak wasn't smoke and mirrors. Then predicted they would lose. Oops.
Prediction: Falcons 34 Buccaneers 17
Actual: Falcons 20 Buccaneers 17
The Falcons joined the ranks of teams getting surprised by the pesky Bucs. With Matt Ryan out, can they still push for a wildcard birth?
Prediction: Dolphins 24 Bills 16
Actual: Bills 31 Dolphins 14
The Bills defense played one of their best games of the season, and it wasn't just with turnovers. They shut down the Dolphins air game, and contained Ricky Williams enough to keep him from doing much damage.
Prediction: Bengals 31 Browns 14
Actual: Bengals 16 Browns 7
The Bengals haven't had many 'pretty' wins this year, so I guess this is par for the course. 6-0 against the division looks pretty good after 12 weeks. Unfortunately, that guarantees nothing come January.
