SURVIVOR
Each week I will pick two games, my “Play it Safe” selection as well as my “Out on a Limb” pick:
Play It Safe (9-6): Bengals vs. CLE
With there still a sliver of playoff hopes, expect the Bengals to take care of business at home vs. a Browns team that has dropped five of their last six contests. The shift to Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback does add in a bit of unknown, but I am taking the risk here.
Out on a Limb (11-4): Falcons vs. NYG
This pick is more about picking against the Giants rather than taking the Falcons. Atlanta is turning to Michael Pennix Jr at quarterback so his inexperience is a bit of a concern, but he’s still way better than whomever will be under center for the Giants.
