Jacksonville (-10.5) I couldn't figure these guys out for the longest time, but they seem to be going good now. This is the time of the year when the contenders begin to finally separate themselves... Dallas (-11) I disagree with the Pigskin Prognosticator. Detroit is floundering after looking so good at 6-2, and Dallas is hitting their stride. They'll be representing the NFC in the Super Bowl while the Lions watch from the sidelines yet again. Buffalo (-7) I would take Miami, as 7 is a lot to cover for the Bills, but this game is in Buffalo on the frozen field turf. The Bills are a completely different team at home. Philadelphia (-3) I just have a hunch Philly will come up big in this game at home. The G-men have played well but I'm still not drinking the Eli Manning kool-aid. Green Bay (-10) I know Fav-ruh is questionable, but their backup looked decent vs. the Cowboys and the Pack are at home. Oakland has had some nice performances lately, but they're still inconsistent, plus I have a rule that you always take the Northern team at home late in the season vs. any of the flashy California or other warm weather clubs. Pittsburgh (+13) The Patriots have lost some of their lustre in the past two weeks, and this is exactly the opponent who could end their dream season. The Steelers are playing well, and although I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats cover this at home, I have a feeling defences around the league have finally figured out the Pats' offence (okay, not completely, but the 50+ points games are done). San Diego (-1) Tough one to call. I like the way the Chargers are playing right now, despite Norv Turner's coaching. St. Louis (+6.5) Because this seems like the perfect game and opponent for the Bengals to break out has me wanting to take the Rams. This is what the Bungles do: just when you think they're ready to turn things around, they drive off into the ditch again. Tampa Bay (-3) The Bucs are making their playoff push. They should be able to beat the pesky Texans even on the road. Arizona (+7) Even though Seattle is on a roll, they've played some weak teams and haven't exactly impressed (ok, beating Philly on the road last week was mildly impressive). They've proven to be terribly inconsistent this year and have underachieved. Even though they're at home, the Cardinals have played them tough. They should be able to at least keep it close. Minnesota (-8.5) The Niners suck. Cleveland (-3.5) The Jets suck. Denver (-6.5) Will the real Denver Broncos please show up this week? If so, they should be able to cover at home. Baltimore (+9.5) Tough one to call. Will the Ravens pack it in after the demoralizing loss to New England? Possibly. And yes, Indy may want to prove that unlike the Patriots, the Ravens are not in their league. However, the game is in Baltimore and I think they'll be hungry to again try to knock off one of the AFC powerhouses. Their offence stinks but don't question Ray Lewis and the pride of the Ravens' D. New Orleans (-5) *Yawn* The Saints, like a few other teams, need to establish themselves and begin that push for the playoffs. Survivor: Minnesota I hate to copy Pigskin, but I haven't taken the Vikings yet, and you gotta think they're a lock to beat the 49ers. There ya go, take it to the bank! Ok, here are the correct picks as the season winds down:

Washington (-3)
Gotta go with the Redskins to beat the Bears and the pathetic Grossman.

Jacksonville (-10.5)
I couldn’t figure these guys out for the longest time, but they seem to be going good now. This is the time of the year when the contenders begin to finally separate themselves…
Dallas (-11)
I disagree with the Pigskin Prognosticator. Detroit is floundering after looking so good at 6-2, and Dallas is hitting their stride. They’ll be representing the NFC in the Super Bowl while the Lions watch from the sidelines yet again.
