I had the best week of all time last week. But there's no time to gloat, there are picks to get to.
Denver(6-7) at Houston(6-7)
Hard to believe the Broncos still have an outside shot at the playoffs. They'll keep the dream alive, for one more week. Broncs 21, Texans 17
Cincinnati(5-8) at San Francisco(3-10)
It was just announced that Alex Smith will have surgery and miss the rest of the season. I'm not sure whether that is a good or bad thing for the Niners. Bengals 34, Niners 25
Buffalo(7-6) at Cleveland(8-5)
This is a scrappy little game with serious playoff implications. The only problem with the Browns is: they're just not that good. Sure they're spunky, and fun to watch. But not good. Luckily for them, the Bills aren't all that hot either. Browns 19, Bills 17
Green Bay(11-2) at St. Louis(3-10)
A mismatch on paper. And on the field. Pack 30, Rams 22
NY Jets(3-10) at New England(13-0)
That spread is just too big. Isn't it? Pats 38, Jets 20
Jacksonville(9-4) at Pittsburgh(9-4)
This is the biggest test of the year for David Gerrard, who has been awesome from day one. The Steelers showed that they are just a half-step below the top tier with their loss last week to the Pats. I think the Jags are a better team, but not in Pittsburgh. Steelers 27, Jags 25
Seattle(9-4) at Carolina(5-8)
The Seahawks are the hottest team in the NFL that nobody is talking about. Hawks 36, Panthers 26
Tennessee(7-6) at Kansas City(4-9)
Vince Young and the Titans are a team full of grinders. They will grind out another win on the road. Titans 22, Chefs 18
Baltimore(4-9) at Miami(0-13)
The Dolphins quest for the winless season continues. Baltimore is so bad, they could almost spoil it for Miami. But not: Ravens 32, Phins 31
Arizona(6-7) at New Orleans(6-7)
This is an elimination game. The Cards have been playing above their heads for most of the year. Its time for them to come back down to earth. Its my Take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Saints(-3.5) 37, Cards 24
Atlanta(3-10) at Tampa Bay(8-5)
The Buccs need to get Jeff Garcia healthy by playoff time, or they'll be one and done. But the regular season is filled with teams like the Falcons, which is good for padding the win column. Buccs 32, Falcons 19
Philadelphia(5-8) at Dallas(12-1)
Could we really have an undefeated team and a 15-and-1 team in the same season? It seems more and more likely every week. Cowboys 24, Eagles 14
Indianapolis(11-2) at Oakland(4-9)
They may be undefeated, but I think the Pats are just a little bit afraid of meeting the Colts in the playoffs. Colts 17, Raiders 3
Detroit(6-7) at San Diego(8-5)
The Lions may be the Lord's Team, but they aren't going to be representing Him in the playoffs. Bolts 15, Loins 0
Washington(6-7) at NY Giants(9-4)
Eli Manning leads the worst 9-4 team in NFL history. Soon to be the worst 10-4 team ever. Giants 22, Washington 14
Chicago(5-8) at Minnesota(7-6)
Kent Rupe pointed out that Kyle Orton is starting for the Bears. Is that really a bad thing? He's just a guy who will avoid interceptions, throw zero downfield balls, and guarantee a close battle. Vikes 34, Bears 32
