Last week: 9-7(56%)

Against-the-spread: 7-7(50%)

Season total: 141-83(63%)

Season ATS: 99-106(48%)

Lock-of-the-Week: 12-5-1(68%)

A real life trip to Wendover went well. We are in the black, even if my ATS# is still in the red. My goal is to be above .500. I'll need two incredible weeks to do it. Not likely. But keep riding the lock, it has hit for seven straight weeks.

Pittsburgh(9-5) at St. Louis(3-11)

The Steelers are one of those top-tier teams that is struggling a little big. They'll come through in this game, only because they absolutely have to. Steelers 16, Rams 13

Dallas(12-2) at Carolina(6-8)

A second straight game with a A-level team that is playing like a C. But, even playing at half speed, the Cowboys can beat the lowly Panthers. Cowboys 18, Panthers 8

NY Giants(9-5) at Buffalo(7-7)

Somebody, anybody, tell me why the Giants are favored in this game. Upset special: Bills 37, Giants 32

Cleveland(9-5) at Cincinnati(5-9)

These are two teams that were supposed to have opposite records at this point. Can you really see the Browns winning a playoff game against anybody in the AFC? Me neither. Browns 15, Bengals 10

Houston(7-7) at Indianapolis(12-2)

The Colts haven't exactly been setting the world on fire either lately. But, at home, they should put it together a little bit. At least for this week, before their starters get vacation time. Colts 29, Texans 13

Oakland(4-10) at Jacksonville(10-4)

Did the Jags collectively make the leap with their huge win last week at Pittsburgh? Maybe. But they are super-pissed that they got zero Pro Bowlers, and they'll take out their frustrations on the poor Raiders. Jags 38, Raiders 17

Green Bay(12-2) at Chicago(5-9)

The Pack looks to avenge their only bad loss of the year. Chicago beat them in Green Bay, so they should be able to take the Packers at home, right? Wrong. Pack 34, Bears 24

Kansas City(4-10) at Detroit(6-8)

Its one last chance at the playoffs for the struggling Lions. They'll make a statement game out of it. That statement: 'We'll be watching the postseason on tv. Again.' Still, Its my Take-it-to-Wendover-lock-of-the-week: Loins(-5) 42, Chefs 26

Philadelphia(6-8) at New Orleans(7-7)

Too little, too late for the Eagles. They could win a surprise game as a treat to the leaving Don McNabb. Or they could go down in flames. Your answer: B. Saints 24, Eagles 12

Tampa Bay(9-5) at San Francisco(4-10)

Watch out for the Buccs in the playoffs. If they have a healthy Jeff Garcia, they will be a tough out. Buccs 32, Niners 23

Miami(1-13) at New England(14-0)

The Dolphins ruined the dream matchup by winning last week. That shrunk the spread, from around 30 or so, to 21.5. That's still a lot of points. Especially since you can't stop Greg Camarillo, you can only hope to contain him. Pats 38, Phins 19

Atlanta(3-11) at Arizona(6-8)

Its hard to believe now, but the Cards were the hot Wild-Card pick for about six weeks there. Now, they're toast. Apparently the Atlanta football club is having some coaching issues. Cards 28, Falcons 26

NY Jets(3-11) at Tennessee(8-6)

The Titans have a good record, but they never seem to blow anybody out. This is about as close as they will get. Titans 33, Jets 23

Baltimore(4-10) at Seattle(9-5)

Here are two teams heading in different directions. Hawks 20, Ravens 12

Washington(7-7) at Minnesota(8-6)

A Sunday night game with serious playoff implications. Its pretty much an elimination game for both teams. It should be close, but I think Minny will pull it out at home. Vikes 15, Washington 13

Denver(6-8) at San Diego(9-5)

This has the look of a big blowout on paper. Which probably means it will be close, or an upset. But I just can't bring myself to pick that. Bolts 37, Broncs 24
