Finally, a good week.
No, not for a certain NFL team, but for the NESN.com NFL picks podcasters — Mike Cole and Ricky Doyle — who turned in a fine week, going a combined 15-9-2 in Week 7.
They'll look to build on that this week in what is a crucial time not only for them, but for much of the NFL. The Patriots barely survived the Jets last week, and they'll look to get something going on Sunday, across the pond in London.
Meanwhile, the Giants and Cowboys will wrap up their season, with New York looking to avenge an opening night home loss to Dallas, travelling to Big D to take on their NFC East rivals.
Let's go this week's picks.
