C: A quick halt to Pittsburgh’s skid.
P: Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes are slim from here on out, even if they win out.
K: The Steelers wont lose five straight.
B: This is Tomlin’s time to shine, and he should be able to manage this one.
R: Tomlin is changing the lineup to break the skids.

Comments:

C: Until someone beats the Saints, I will not pick against them.
P: The Saints are too good to lose.
K: How funny would it be if the Saints first loss came against Atlanta without Turner or Ryan? Nah.
B: I can’t pick against the Saints anymore. Even when they lose a game, they don’t.
R: Didn’t realize how pathetic the Falcons were till last week’s stomping.

Comments:

C: After an embarrassing game in Green Bay the Ravens get a home game against the Lions, who aren’t as easy to beat as they have been, but the Ravens need this more.
P: The Ravens have been bad, but not as bad as the play of the Lions.
K: The Lions defense is too horrific to allow the Ravens to give this one away.
B: The Lions aren’t a strong team, and this is coming down to a must-win for the Ravens.
R: Baltimore still kicking themselves after a Monday night loss.

Comments:

C: Until someone beats them, I will not pick against them, but with Denver playing well, the past couple of weeks, they could be the team to do it.
P: When are people going to stop picking against the best team in the NFL.
K: If the Broncos are the real deal, they probably need to win this one.
B: Against the general opinion, i’m going with Denver. The Colts could have lost last week if the Titans had a better game, and that was at home as well. If Denver has truly bounced back, they can win this.
R: Indy because they are at home… Crank the heat to 90.

Comments:

C: I think this one comes down to the wire, and with a win the Texans hope to keep their post-season hopes alive.
P: Both teams are average, but the Texans have more play makers.
K: I just don’t have any faith in Seattle, especially their offensive line.
B: I can’t really pick for Seattle, so i’m going with the Texans on this one.
R: Houston is not going to the playoffs… but will win this game.

Comments:

C: With Minnesota firmly in control of the NFC North, and Green Bay in second place, they need a win to keep the pressure on Favre and the Vikings. Chicago on the other hand struggled against the Rams, need I say more?
P: Green Bay is a good team, Chicago isn’t quite there.
K: The Bears can play spoiler, and Lovie Smith always plays the Pack close.
B: Green Bay is playing well, and Chicago isn’t. Enough said.
R: Monday night hangover? No way, this is a divison game.

Comments:

C: I want to pick Jacksonville, because I think they have as good a chance as anyone to beat the Dolphins, but, I think the Dolphins are heating up at just the right time to make a serious push at the playoffs.
P: This will be a close game I think, it could go either way.
K: Miami is too close to their second straight division crown. They won’t blow it… yet.
B: Miami is not going to drop this one, they’re on a roll now. Garrard is no Brady.
R: Dammit Miami… Can they continue their way to the AFC East title ??

Comments:

C: Despite how well Cincy has played, I don’t think they have what it takes to stop the Vikings.
P: The Vikings need to play well now that they have 2 losses. If they want home field they need not to lose and anymore and they still might not get it.
K: There is no way this defense plays that poorly in back to back games. And Favre isn’t going into a slump, either.
B: Basically, what Kevin said. Minnesota should win this handily.
R: GO CINCY!!!!!

Comments:

C: Just keeping pressure on the Patriots. The Jets shouldn’t have many problems putting the Bucs away.
P: This should be a close game, but the Jets Defense gets the win again today.
K: If Jets stick to the ground game, they win.
B: Shouldn’t be too much doubt in this game, but you never know…
R: Sanchez blows off the game and goes to the beach for the day???

Comments:

C: Carolina is run heavy which should be a relief for a secondary that has been raped lately
P: If they lose they could not win the division.
K: I just can’t see the Patriots losing to a team led by Matt Moore or Jake Delhomme.
B: I’m going to do something that should be crazy, but sadly is not – i’m going with Carolina. The run attack will be strong even against the Pats, and I see a few long receptions for Steve Smith.
R: A disappointing year for both teams… More on this later.

Comments:

C: At some point Matt Cassel has to prove that he is worth that massive paycheck he received in the off season. A home game against the Bills should stack the deck in his favor.
P: KC has been playing hard all year but little to show for it.
K: All aboard the Ryan Fitzpatrick train? I am, for Week 14, anyways.
B: I have a feeling about the Bills this week.
R: Buffalo is not as bad as most people think but it has been a dismal year again.

Comments:

C: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Greatest Show on Turf… no, no, not the Rams, but Chris Johnson.
P: They get back on track this week.
K: Playoffs are still in sight, and the Rams are woeful.
B: Let’s get the Titans their dignity back, and Chris Johnson make up for having less than 125 rushing yards last week.
R: Run it up Vince.

Comments:

C: Irrelevant.
P: I watched Washington play for the first time all year and they looked sharp. They have been at the door for 3 weeks now. Dallas, Philly, and now the Who Dat Nation.
K: Can they win a game that they’re not over-whelming underdogs in? I think so.
B: I’m going to throw this to the Redskins. They played well last week, and were disappointed. They’re in the mood for a beatdown.
R: Seriously a toss up…

Comments:

C: It should be obvious by now, but I have little faith that Tony Romo is anything more than an average QB. Philip Rivers on the other hand is a star.
P: Dallas is sorry.
K: Does the Cowboys’ Dallas drought continue? Uh, yeah.
B: I can’t imagine that the drought will continue for the Cowboys. They have to step up sometime, especially with the division on the line. Figured I would go against the grain on this one.
R: Chargers Super Bowl tuning.

Comments:

C: The McNabb led Eagles have been playing quite good lately. This one could go either way, but the Eagles have the edge this week, even in New York.
P: The Giants need a win to be in it. If they win they can win the division.
K: It’ll be close, but the Eagles are the top team in the NFC East, hands down.
B: The Eagles have been good the past few weeks, and they’re playing for the division. I expect a good game, but Philly on top.
R: I have this one co-worker who is a real pain when the Eagles win and Pats lose… Go Giants.

Comments:

C: An Arizona win here, and a Seattle loss gives the Cardinals their second straight NFC West title, and after watching them play the Vikings, I have no doubts that they can beat the 49ers.
P: Kurt Warner has been red hot, so has the entire organization.
K: I like what I see in this Cardinals team. They should be feared.
B: With Boldin finally playing like he should, there are a lot of weapons for Kurt Warner. This should be an easy win.
R: Remember a few years ago the critics were saying 49ers to the Super Bowl ?? what happened??
