Only four weeks left in the season, which means it’s time for some teams to step up and get on a roll going into the playoffs. In an odd twist, all the divisions can be clinched this weekend. Seems a little early for things to be wrapped up, but while the division races might be coming to a close, the wild card race is heating up. As far as my picks go, last week was my worst week of the season. I’d like to end the season strong, but these games keep getting harder to pick.
Last Week: 7-9
Season: 127-75
Washington Redskins vs Chicago Bears
The Redskins tough week gets even tougher with them having to go to Chicago. Last week was a bad loss. Two timeouts in a row? Maybe Joe Gibbs has more on his mind than football. The Bears blew a chance to be tied for the 6th seed, but a win over the Redskins will keep them in the hunt.
Winner: Chicago Bears
Carolina Panthers vs Jacksonville Jaguars
The Panthers are only one game out of the wild card, and they have an important tiebreaker over the Cardinals, but their schedule isn’t doing them any favors. David Garrard threw his first pick last week, and the Jags are angry over that. They should roll in this football game.
Winner: Jacksonville Jaguars
Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions
The Lions always play the Cowboys tough. I would have picked the Lions, but the extra days off, and the fact that the Lions are falling apart before our eyes makes me lean towards the Cowboys.
Winner: Dallas Cowboys
Miami Dolphins vs Buffalo Bills
The Dolphins got their ass kicked by the Jets, in a game that they were favored to win. It looks like their best chance for a win has past. I still think the Dolphins will get a win this season, but the Bills win with Trent Edwards. It won’t be pretty, but the Bills should win, and stay alive for a wild card spot.
Winner: Buffalo Bills
Oakland Raiders vs Green Bay Packers
The Packers needed the extra days off for this one. They should be healthy again, and the Packers need to win out to have any hopes of catching Dallas. The Raiders are improving, but they aren’t good on the road.
Winner: Green Bay Packers
San Diego Chargers vs Tennessee Titans
The Chargers look like they are back to their 2006 form. With that said, I like the Titans at home. Vince Young is moblie enough to avoid sacks, and has been looking much better throwing the ball.
Winner: Tennessee Titans
St Louis Rams vs Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals defense is going to have their hands full with the Rams. One thing I don’t like about the Rams, is they don’t know how to finish games, and that is not a good thing on the road. I can see this one going either way, but I’ll take the home team.
Winner: Cincinnati Bengals
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Houston Texans
Matt Schaub is out, and the Bucs are only one win away from clinching the NFC South. It looks like the trend in the South will continue, where a team finishs last one year, then wins the division the next. Houston’s slim playoff hopes will be dashed in this one.
Winner: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New York Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles
The Giants have to be happy that Eli Manning was able to win a late season game on the road. A come from behind win no less. The Eagles will be happy to have Donovan McNabb back, and the Giants are starting to feel the effects of the late season injury bug.
Winner: Philadephia Eagles
Arizona Cardinals vs Seattle Seahawks
Arizona is tied for the final wild card spot, which might not be a good thing. The Cardinals aren’t a team that handles pressure very well. If the Seahawks win, they clinch the NFC West. Quietly, the Seahawks have been a perennial playoff team.
Winner: Seattle Seahawks
Cleveland Browns vs New York Jets
The Browns suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the desert last week. They should bounce back against the Jets. This won’t be an easy win by any means, but if the Browns want to make the playoffs, they have to win, and watch out for the Titans.
Winner: Cleveland Browns
Minnesota Vikings vs San Francisco 49ers
I know, I picked the 49ers last week. Even though I think this will be a close game, I don’t care. I can pick the 49ers again this season. The Vikings are hot, and are playing well at the right time. Vikings in the playoffs? There is a very good chance that will happen this season.
Winner: Minnesota Vikings
Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos
The Broncos got beat by the Raiders last week, and they saw their division hopes go down the toilet. They are two games back, but this season, the Broncos have been too inconsistent for me to believe they have the heart for a playoff run. I think they will win this game though, but not by much.
Winner: Denver Broncos
Pittsburgh Steelers vs New England Patriots
The Pats are feeling good about getting out of Baltimore with a win. It seems like they are the only people around who think going 19-0 is hard. The oddsmakers keep making them big favorites, and that just gets their opponents fired up. The Steelers are a tough team to beat, but I don’t like what I’m seeing out of the Steelers. This one will be close, but in the end, the Patriots will survive.
Winner: New England Patroits
Indianapolis Colts vs Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens have to be crushed over that loss to the Pats. They had them on the ropes, but their defense could not keep the Pats out of the end zone. Now, they have to face the Colts. The Colts might not be getting as much attention as usual, but you know they have to like their chances against the Patriots if they meet in the playoffs.
Winner: Indianapolis Colts
New Orleans Saints vs Atlanta Falcons
ESPN has to be pissed off that they have this game. Last week’s game was everything you could ask for, now they have to go to Atlanta to see the woeful Falcons. The Saints blew their chances for the division with a fumbled reverse. They still are alive in the NFC playoff picture, and should easily beat the Falcons.
Winner: New Orleans Saints
