Here we go as the season winds down there are some pretty critical games starting with this evening's affair...
New Orleans (7-6) at Chicago (7-6)- The Saints need this one to stay alive in the playoff race, if they lose, they can consider themselves out. The Bears just need to keep pace with the Vikings who can clinch this weekend and if they win, they likely knock the Packers out of the playoffs. I will take New Orleans in a selfish pick. NO 28-24
Tampa Bay (9-4) at Atlanta (8-5)- I wouldnt say at all that Atlanta would be out of if they lose but it will complicate things. The Falcons were very close against the Saints last weekend and I think being at home will assist them in a victory. ATL 34-31
Washington (8-5) at Cincinnati (1-11-1)- The Redskins are lucky that they can rebound with this one despite Clinton Portis' recent anger, I think Jim Zorn would be smart to not play him once again because this one will not even be close. WASH 35-3
Detroit (0-13) at Indianapolis (9-4)- The Colts have been blessed with the two worst teams in football these last two weekends so I dont see any reason why this game will be even close. IND 42-6
San Diego (5-8) at Kansas City (2-11)- Not quite where the Chargers saw themselves this season as they head into Arrowhead in a game which will probably feature some bad weather. Thats really the only hurdle for the Chargers in this one. SD 27-23
Seattle (2-11) at St. Louis (2-11)- "The Who Can Get the Higher Draft Pick Bowl" God this will be ugly, I wouldnt blame the city of St. Louis for not showing up to this one. STL 12-9
San Francisco (5-8) at Miami (8-5)- The Dolphins are still alive for the playoffs and get fortunate to face the Niners at home this week. Granted, the Niners broke the streak of not winning on the east coast, I still have a tough time seeing them beat the Phins. MIA 23-13
New York Jets (8-5) at Buffalo (6-7)- If Trent Edwards was playing in this game I migh have went with the Bills because we all remember how poor Brett Favre played in the bitter cold. But there really is no reason why the Jets shouldnt beat the hapless Bills. NYJ 20-10
Tennessee (12-1) at Houston (6-7)- The Oiler Bowl and last year we saw Vince Young stepped up big time to get a win for the Titans, this year er..... Well the Texas have been hot of late and I will take them in an upset. HOU 28-21
Green Bay (5-8) at Jacksonville (4-9)- This an absolute must-win for the Packers with the slimmest playoff chances and they should win this game. My only hope is to see one three and out by the Packers but I am guessing that's wishful thinking. GB 38-31
Minnesota (8-5) at Arizona (8-5)- Lets all take time to remember what happened the last time the Vikings went to Arizona... NO NO NO!!! Well heres hoping that the Vikings do the exact same thing. ARI 18-17
Denver (9-5) at Carolina (10-3)- Good matchup which I hope we all get instead of the damn Steelers on CBS this weekend. The Broncos should keep it close for awhile but the Panthers running attack will be too much for the Broncos. CAR 28-20
Pittsburgh (10-3) at Baltimore (9-4)- This actually isnt an awful game with the rivalry behind it but dont expect a lot of scoring. The Ravens need this one in hopes of a AFC North crown and to keep pace in the playoffs. I will take Pittsburgh defense will destroy the though. PITT 14-3
New England (8-5) at Oakland (3-10)- The Patriots head west again to play another sister of the poor. This time they wont have to worry about the "Tuck Rule" to win them a game. NE 21-0
New York Giants (11-2) at Dallas (8-5)- Uh Oh, TO has been complaining about Tony Romo.... We all have seen this story too many times to know that its not happyland in Dallas. The Giants now have the distractions out of the way and will land a knockout punch to the Cowboys. NYG 34-17
Cleveland (4-9) at Philadelphia (7-5-1)- I hope that Cleveland has teached every TV executive why we dont buy into pre-season hype. The Browns have played real well on Monday though this year. Dont expect that in this one. PHI 28-13
