Week 14 NFL Picks: APC Split on Packers-Falcons With Rodgers Questionable

With Aaron Rodgers' status for Sunday looking less and less promising every day, our authors are divided on whether the Packers can beat the Falcons at home.

While the Green Bay Packers had a rough performance in Week 13 against the Lions, your APC writers had a good week picking games, with everyone coming in with a record of 11-5 or better. Last week, you'll recall that all seven of us correctly picked Detroit to win, though I don't think any of us thought that it would be as embarrassing a loss as it was.

This week, the six picks that have come in so far are evenly split - three of us have picked the Atlanta Falcons to come in and win at Lambeau Field, while the other three are picking the Packers to win their first game in over a month.

Head over to the Pick'Em contest in the Fanposts and let your voice be heard, and check out all of our picks below.

Frankly, I'm stunned by a few of the unanimous picks we have this week. I thought for sure that someone would pick the Panthers to upset the Saints in New Orleans or the Colts to win in Cincinnati, or even the Giants to win on the road at San Diego, but apparently everybody is of the same mind on those games.

Some other interesting games: Tex is the only one taking Jacksonville at home tonight against Houston. As for NFC North games, we're feeling pretty confident as a group that the Lions will lose to the Eagles this week, while we are split on the Cowboys-Bears game on Monday night.

Now on to our overall standings, wherein we find that everyone had pretty solid weeks prognosticating in Week 13.
