This is a very tough week to Hognosticate as some teams jockey for playoff position, while others play meaningless games looking for motivation.<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay at New England <\/b>
\nBrady\u2019s nicked, the Buc defense is playing great and the weather won\u2019t be a factor. How \u2018bout the year Galloway is having with the likes of Sims and Griese? You gotta like a guy who was an expensive bust for the Pukes succeeding elsewhere.
\nPick \u2013 Bucs<\/p>\n
Kansas City at New York Giants <\/b>
\nUnfortunately, I think the Gnats will be too tough for the Chiefs at Giants Stadium.
\nPick \u2013 Gnats<\/p>\n
Denver at Buffalo <\/b>
\nThe Broncos ought to produce some huge numbers on the ground against the Bills\u2019 weak rush defense. Here\u2019s an interesting stat: the Bronco defense is 2nd in the league against the run and 29th against the pass, even with Chump\u2019s career high seven picks.
\nPick \u2013 Broncos<\/p>\n
Arizona at Houston <\/b>
\nWithout question the \u2018who cares\u2019 pick of the week. The Cards played us tough last week and won\u2019t repeat the turnover nightmare.
\nPick \u2013 Cardinals<\/p>\n
San Diego at Indianapolis <\/b>
\nHow could the Chargers lose such an important game at home to the Phish? I\u2019d like to see the Colts play for 16-0 and get it.
\nPick \u2013 Colts<\/p>\n
San Francisco at Jacksonville <\/b>
\nTurns out Garrard can play. The \u20189ers are 16 point dogs against a QB starting his second game as a pro\u2026.that\u2019s just sad. The \u20189ers should fire Nolan and bring back Mooch.
\nPick – Jags<\/p>\n
New York Jets at Miami <\/b>
\nThe Phish will repay the Jets for a loss earlier in the season. How strange for the Phish to get shut out by the Browns three weeks back, then put together three straight wins against Oakland away, the Bills at home, and most impressively the Chargers on the road. All in all, looks like a .500 season for Saban\u2026.not bad.
\nPick \u2013 Phish<\/p>\n
Pittsburgh at Minnesota <\/b>
\nWith the exception of the fluke win in New York, the Vikes haven\u2019t beaten a good team all season. This week they get brought back down to earth.
\nPick \u2013 Steelers<\/p>\n
Carolina at New Orleans <\/b>
\nThe Panthers got their wake up call last week.
\nPick \u2013 Panthers<\/p>\n
Philadelphia at St. Louis <\/b>
\n\u2018Who cares\u2019 II game of the week. Philthy continues to play tough, even though their season is shot.
\nPick \u2013 Philthy<\/p>\n
Seattle at Tennessee <\/b>
\nThe Titans have gone nine quarters without a TD \u2013 four against the lowly Texans. This ought to be an easy win for the Hawks, even if they are on the road.
\nPick \u2013 Hawks<\/p>\n
Cincinnati at Detroit <\/b>
\nRumor of the day \u2013 Jimmy Johnson is flirting with a job with the Lions and would require full personnel control \u2013 ousting Millen. With a QB and a decent coach, the Lions have the talent to challenge their division. Of course, I\u2019d like to see Johnson do about as well as he did in Miami.
\nPick \u2013 Bungles<\/p>\n
Cleveland at Oakland <\/b>
\nAlthough I hate to ever pick the Brownies, the Faiders won\u2019t win another game this season, and Norv\u2019s sent packing. How could we lose to this team?
\nPick \u2013 Brownies<\/p>\n
Dallas at Washington <\/b>
\nAlthough all games against the Pukes are meaningful, it\u2019s hard to remember one of such importance in recent years, particularly this late in the season. The injuries in the secondary are very concerning. Hopefully Taylor will be used to take away the big play, without them, Skins win.
\nPick \u2013 Washington Redskins!<\/p>\n
Atlanta at Chicago <\/b>
\nA tough pick. This should be a low scoring affair, with Vick making just enough plays to win.
\nPick \u2013 Falcons<\/p>\n
Green Bay at Baltimore <\/b>
\nThe Raisins play well enough to win at home.
\nPick – Raisins<\/p>\n
Last Week\u2019s Results: <\/b>\t 12-4
\nSeason To Date: <\/b>\t137-71<\/p>\n
