I'm off to LV for the Vegas Bowl. Here are my abbreviated picks.
Minnesota(6-8) at Green Bay(6-8)
The Pack is back. Pack 19, Vikes 13
Kansas City(7-7) at Oakland(2-12)

The toilet bowl: Browns 31, Buccs 27
Washington(5-9) at St. Louis(6-8)
Rams still think they have a shot at playoffs. Its my take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Rams(-2) 17, Washington 0
Baltimore(11-3) at Pittsburgh(7-7)
Ravens crushed Steelers last month. Upset Special #1: Ravens 35, Steelers 28
Indianapolis(11-3) at Houston(4-10)
Colts are back from the dead, for now. Colts 35, Texans 31
Cincinnati(8-6) at Denver(8-6)
Jay Cutler the man? Not yet. But that defense is starting to heat up again. Broncs 21, Bengals 15
Tennessee(7-7) at Buffalo(7-7)
The most intriguing matchup of the week. Which is a contender, and which is a pretender. The Titans are overdue for a loss. Bills 8, Titans 7
Chicago(12-2) at Detroit(2-12)
Lions would love to draft Brady Quinn, and that works out well, since they play like Dr. Quinn, medicine woman. Bears 28, Loins 11
New Orleans(9-5) at NY Giants(7-7)
America's team falls down to earth. Giants 17, Saints 10
New England(10-4) at Jacksonville(8-6)
Pats offensive struggles return. Jags 13, Pats 7
Arizona(4-10) at San Francisco(6-8)
Rematch of week one Cards win. Alex Smith rules. Okay, maybe I'm not there yet, but I'm definitely drinking the kool aid. Niners 18, Cards 14
San Diego(12-2) at Seattle(8-6)
The best team in football could clinch homefield this weekend. Bolts 27, Hawks 20
Philadelphia(8-6) at Dallas(9-5)
This is the T.O. showdown. Owens and the evil Cowboys take on the team he shunned, and his old quarterback he tried to "out". Sorry guys. Not in Dallas. Cowboys 24, Eagles 12
NY Jets(8-6) at Miami(6-8)
More dissapointment for Dana Greene. Upset Special #2: Jets 30, Phins 24
