Congratulations to juansushi for being our weekly winner with a 12~4 mark in week 12, winning through the tiebreaker over five others. HOOKBASSGA continues to hold a seemingly insurmountable 17-game lead in our seasonal standings with four weeks to play in the regular season. <\/p>\n
Chicago at Washington
\nHow’s this for hognosticating? The Washington Redskins win despite Jason Campbell going down with a dislocated knee and an all-time Gibbs’ low rushing effort of 31 yards in a win. Shawn Springs, although not expected to play, steps up with two big-time picks, and Todd Collins is outstanding in relief of Campbell.
\nPick ~ Redskins <\/p>\n
Carolina at Jacksonville
\nThe Jags need this game to stay one game up on Titans for second place in the AFC South.
\nPick ~ Jaguars <\/p>\n
Dallas at Detroit
\nJust another second half collapse by the Lions. They’ll be lucky to finish 7~9, if they can win at home in week 16 against the spiraling Chiefs. Unfortunately, expect the Pukes to come into FedEx at 14~1.
\nPick ~ Pukes <\/p>\n
Miami at Buffalo
\nThe Bills are a decent team and have proven as much after starting the season 1~4. They need this win to stay in the AFC wildcard chase. It would be nice to see the Dolphins go winless after so many years of the champagne popping when undefeated teams have lost.
\nPick ~ Bills <\/p>\n
New York Giants at Philadelphia
\nThe Giants have won three of the last four. If Westbrook doesn’t play, expect McNabb to have another long day in his return.
\nPick ~ Giants <\/p>\n
Oakland at Green Bay
\nFavre’s 250th consecutive regular season start. That is incredible! The Raiders have won two in a row, playing better as of late, but aren’t going to like Lambeau in December.
\nPick ~ Packers <\/p>\n
Pittsburgh at New England
\nThis match up of two of the AFC\u2019s division leaders will be one that none of us will want to miss. Still can’t get over the Steeler’s losing to the Jets. The Steelers will surely miss Troy Polamula, if he can’t go.
\nPick ~ Patriots <\/p>\n
San Diego at Tennessee
\nThis is a tough pick, but feel like the Titans need the win more than the Chargers. Tennessee is trying to stay in the race for a wildcard spot, while San Diego can drop this game and still hold at least a one game lead in their division over the Broncos. Fool’s logic?
\nPick ~ Titans <\/p>\n
St. Louis at Cincinnati
\nAmazingly, neither of these teams, Rams (3~9) and Bengals (4~8), has been eliminated from the post-season. Who knows how this game will play out? Taking the home team.
\nPick ~ Cincinnati <\/p>\n
Tampa Bay at Houston
\nThe Texans are 0~6 this season against teams currently over .500. Add to that Sage Rosenfels, although he’s play admirably, will start for the injured Matt Schaub against Tampa\u2019s much-improved defense.
\nPick ~ Tampa Bay <\/p>\n
Arizona at Seattle
\nThe Cardinals won the first meeting of these division rivals on a last-second field goal in week 2. Both teams have played well as of late, but like the Seahawks at home, where they are 5~1 on the season.
\nPick ~ Seattle <\/p>\n
Minnesota at San Francisco
\nAdrian Peterson was outstanding last week in his return from a knee sprain, while wearing a knee brace no less. Look for him to have another huge day against the 49ers who are 1~4 at home this season and have struggled defensively against the run. As much as we’d like the 49ers to win this game, can’t see it happening.
\nPick ~ Minnesota <\/p>\n
Cleveland at New York Jets
\nThe Jets are lousy and fortunate to have had played the Dolphins twice already this season. Surprisingly, their only other win came against the Steelers in week 11. Eric Mangini can’t be real comfortable these days.
\nPick ~ Cleveland <\/p>\n
Kansas City at Denver
\nThe Broncos won easily at KC in week 10 and need to win out just to have a shot at a wildcard spot.
\nPick ~ Broncos <\/p>\n
Indianapolis at Baltimore
\nThe Raven fans have got to feel like they need an offense after facing the Browns, Chargers, Patriots and now Colts in consecutive weeks. They’ll get a break next week, when they face the Dolphins.
\nPick ~ Colts <\/p>\n
New Orleans at Atlanta
\nThe Saints have won the last three match-ups, including a 22-16 win in week 7. This is a must win for the Saints playoff chances. Hopefully, Chris Redman can lead the Falcons to an upset, but can’t see it.
\nPick ~ Saints <\/p>\n
Season 113~63<\/p>\n
