Minnesota at Green Bay (3.5)

Normally I’d go with the Vikings in this situation, but I’ve been hearing all week how this could be Brett Favre’s LAST HOME GAME EVER so I’m sure Green Bay will win. Then again, I did pick them.

(6.5) Kansas City at Oakland

I saw on the ESPN bottom line ticker thing that Randy Moss probably won’t play. I’m not sure how good he’s been this year, but I’m sure it can’t help the Raiders’ chances. Then again, this is a rivalry game. Ah screw it. I’m sticking with the Chiefs.

Baltimore at Pittsburgh (3.5)

The hell? Even with the Ravens clinching a playoff spot whenever they get a chance to sweep the Steelers, you can bet they’ll do anything possible to do so. And for the love of God, will the local Shittsburgh sports media STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW THE STEELERS HAVE A PLAYOFF SHOT?! Not only do they have to beat the Ravens and Bengals, but something like a half-dozen teams also have to lose out. Steeler fans, be content if your black and gold can end the season .500 – it’ll be a nice accomplishment for a banged up season.

Carolina at Atlanta (6.5)

Christ, I don’t know who to go with. I don’t feel comfortable with that point spread but the Panthers freakin’ quit at home last week. Hmm, I’ll take a chance with the Panthers playing better this week.

(4.5) Chicago at Detroit

You GOT to be kidding.

(9.5) Indianapolis at Houston

Is this a trap game for the Colts, or did that Monday night win against the Bengals spark Indy? I’m hoping for the latter.

New England at Jacksonville (2.5)

I remember how the Patriots played against the Jags in the playoffs last year. I’ll stick with them.

New Orleans at N.Y. Giants (3.5)

I first went with the Saints, but this is being played in the Northeast. Maybe if I’m wrong that will mean Emily will have a 6 INT game. One can dream.

Tampa Bay at Cleveland (3.5)

Will Cleveland play another struggling team tough, or will they fold like a house of cards? Well they’re favored, so that’s one strike.

Tennessee at Buffalo (4.5)

If you would have showed me this game on the schedule before the season began, I’d figure these two teams could be playing for the top pick in next year’s draft. Instead, this game has playoff implications. Good going for all teams involved.

Washington at St. Louis (2.5)

The Redskins have been playing better as of late. Time for me to put that to rest by picking them.

Arizona at San Francisco (4.5)

That point spread gave me concern, but fuck the Cardinals.

Cincinnati at Denver (3.5)

I first went with Cincy, but then I remembered about their secondary, which should help a rookie quarterback out.

(4.5) San Diego at Seattle

Goddamn are the Chargers good. Too good. While watching the Chiefs game last Sunday night I was getting the feeling that they’re going to be had in the playoffs.

Philadelphia at Dallas (7.5)

I just heard Jeff Garcia talk for the first time last week. No wonder T.O. made those gay cracks at him. I think the Garcia wave ends here, although I find it funny Owens has disparaged two quarterbacks during his career on the other side of the field for this game.

N.Y. Jets at Miami (2.5)

Congrats to the Jets, even if they don’t make the playoffs. I think the Dolphins will treat this like a playoff game, costing their divisional foe a chance at the postseason.
