It's picking once again this week, in what could be a huge week in the NFL.

The Thanksgiving slate of games is already over, with the Lions crushing the Eagles, the Panthers staying undefeated against the Cowboys, and the Bears shocking the Packers in an upset. Cortana went 2-1 in these picks, missing on the Packers-Bears game, making it 104-59 for the season,

There are several other big games this Sunday.

The Vikings and Falcons play each other in a big game that could sway who wins the NFC Wild Card spots. The Colts and Bucs face off, both 5-5, in what could determine which team can actually make a playoff push. The Patriots and Broncos will square off in a game that could see the Patriots lose for the first time this season as they bring a battered squad to Denver.
