Another Sunday, another reason for running photos of Playboy Playmate Jaime Edmondson. Not that an excuse is necessary. Jaime does make her picks on the NFL games and uses pictures of herself to have those selections leave a lasting impression in the readers’/gawkers’/whatevers’ mind.

As always, remember these selections are for entertainment purposes only. Of course, if you win a bundle and want to send Jaime a portion for her forecasting acumen, that’s up to you. Knowing Jaime, I would say she would send any proceeds to charitable causes. OK, enough of the typing, let’s get to the picks and pics.

Jaime likes Bears over Rams, Bills over Browns Lions over Titans, 49ers over Vikings, Colts over Jaguars, Saints over Chiefs, Redskins over Bengals, Buccaneers over Cowboys and Dolphins over Jets. A reminder that Jaime once was a Dolphins cheerleader, so she picks Miami every week. And sometimes — such as last week — that works!

You can follow Jaime’s picks — among other interesting 140 character or less conversation — on Twitter: @jaimeedmondson. She also writes the Playboy.com “Play-By_Playmate” column: playboy.com.

In the late games, Jaime likes Falcons over Chargers, Cardinals over Eagles, Texans over Broncos and Steelers over Raiders. For the night game, she favors Ravens over Patriots.
