Well, for this year, Denver plays at New England because of divisional rotations; the last time the AFC East played the AFC West, the Patriots played at Denver (2011). The location of this game has been set in stone for a while.

As for last year and 2012...not sure. Maybe the NFL was trying to compensate for New England having to play at Indianapolis when Peyton was at the Colts for 3 straight years beforehand?

Anyway I hate myself for picking Carolina

I knew the Saints would win this game after the points they put up against GB. The Panthers literally have ZERO offense. All they have is Benjamin and hes only good when Cam is having a good day which isn't often.

Will the winner of the nfc south have a record better than 8-8 this season?

I have only myself to blame for foolishly going with the Panthers last night. Even after watching the Saints dismantle Packers, I guess I thought that they cannot repeat the performance twice in 4 days.
Also, I have to make a point not to watch another Panthers game this season, they are terrible, especially their passing game.
Hate to start the week off 0-1, but hopefully I can recover on Sunday (or completely implode and drop out of Top 10).

One positivi is a great Jimmy Graham performance, kickstarting my Fantasy Week in a positive fashion. The week in which I must pick up a RB off waivers just to avoid 0 points, all my RBs have a bye week...

NO winning was obvious. The Panthers are too weak offensively.

Road teams were 2-7 on Thursday night going into the game yesterday, so going with the panthers may not have been that awful of a direction to go in.

The next four weeks will be telling as the saints have a pretty rough november ahead of them.  However, three of those four games are at home and then they finish the season with a cake schedule, so 9-7 should be more than doable.

The bigger problem was their joke of a secondary. I lost count of how many times a receiver caught it 15+ yards deep with no defender within ten yards of him.

Dang how things change, when the Cowboys beat the Saints everyone was saying they sucked and now suddenly they're good again? Well at least I always knew the Saints were a good team.

Rest of my picks edited in.
