Jason's taking a well-deserved weekender with the wife, so his picks are e-mailed along with a few choice one-liners. I'll also deliver my analysis for each contest in one line. He was game enough to give Tout Service another try, so I'll also have three Locks of the Week. I have a Christmas-themed post in mind, but I'll discuss it with Jay next time we chat. Even if he's not up for it, I think I'll give it a go. On to this week's picks in almost no detail.

- Ravens-Redskins, D: Battle of the Beltway, Ravens for all their troubles are 9-3, and that rookie wall for RG3 and Morris should hit...now, hopefully?? J: "Ravens as DOGS? Love it - LOCK."
- Chiefs-Browns, D: Brady Quinn's no team leader even after that speech last week, but he can lead KC to cover a touchdown over the fucking Browns. J: None.
- Chargers-Steelers, D: Don't trust SD to win, but don't trust Roethlisberger to lead a rout in his 1st game back. J: None.
- Titans-Colts, D: Might be a shootout due to two poor defenses, and you gotta trust Luck over Locker in a duel. J: None.
- Jets-Jaguars, D: Chad Henne's pixie dust wore off last week, and if the Jets can't get it together against Jacksonville, they should stop playing football. J: "Seriously? Jets are favorites? LOCK."
- Bears-Vikings, D: I didn't know Chicago would be so beat up when I called them to go into Minnesota and take this one, but the Vikes are dropping out of contention like a stone, so I'm sticking with it. J: "You picked the result last week, so I have to go against you."
- Falcons-Panthers, D: Atlanta hasn't played their best in quite a while, so they're primed for a rump-roasting in Charlotte. J: "Falcons caught napping after clinching."
- Eagles-Buccaneers, D: Guess Bryce Brown hasn't quit for Philly, but I'm still taking Tampa, desperate at 6-6, to rip through the sad-sack Eagles. J: "Foles and Brown seem to have reinvigorated the Philly O."
- Rams-Bills, D: Since I can't take the push even though this is going to OT and ending in a FG, I'll take the better-coached Rams to maybe find a way to squeeze this one out. J: None.
- Cowboys-Bengals, D: Lock it up because for all their stupidity and worship, Dallas ain't bums, and Cincy's still bumslayers. J: "At least these Cowboy drives won't end in death."
- Dolphins-49ers, D: Should be a careful, conservative offensive game plan on both sides, so gimme the Fish to fight and keep it close. J: None.
- Saints-Giants, D: Saints to win because I really hate New York on a short week versus an angry Drew Brees on a long week. J: "LOCK."
- Cardinals-Seahawks, D: Lock up another rah rah sis-boom-bah for Pete Carroll versus inferior competition in the Meat Grinder. J: None.
- Lions-Packers, D: I'd love to think Megatron can keep it close with the season he's having, but Detroit's proven its stupidity has no bounds. J: None.
- Texans-Patriots, D: Another proving ground for Houston, but their secondary's hurting, and against Tom Brady, that's a wrap. J: None.
