New England at NY Giants

The Patriots are playing for NFL history. The Giants have nothing to play for and they need to rest their starters for the playoffs.  Even if the Giants did play their starters they have no chance in beating the Patriots.

New England 34 NY Giants 17

Buffalo at Philadelphia

The Eagles have played well the past couple of games and McNabb could be playing his last game in an Eagles uniform.  The Bills can’t stop the run so I expect Westbrook to have a big day.

Buffalo 17 Philadelphia 30

Cincinnati at Miami

The Bengals won last week but this week it’s Miami’s turn to get their 2nd win of the season. The Tuna (Bill Parcells) is watching so a lot of Dolphins are playing for their jobs in 2008.

Cincinnati 20 Miami 28

Carolina at Tampa Bay

The Bucs have already started resting their starters but even their backups have enough to beat the Panthers.

Carolina 10 Tampa Bay 13

New Orleans at Chicago

The Saints are playing for a playoff spot and the Bears would love to play spoiler. Unless it’s really windy I have to go with Drew Brees over Kyle Orton.

New Orleans 23 Chicago 20

Jacksonville at Houston

Jacksonville is on fire right now so I don’t see how Houston has any chance in this game. Maybe the Jaguars will rest their starters?

Jacksonville 20 Houston 17

Seattle at Atlanta

The Seahawks have nothing to play for so I would be surprised to see their starters sit early in this game. I like Atlanta at home.

Seattle 14 Atlanta 20

Detroit at Green Bay

The Packers played horrible last week and because of that they lost the home field advantage. I don’t think the Packers want to lose two in a row going into the post season so they will play their starters for at least a half.

Detroit 23 Green Bay 34

San Francisco at Cleveland

Cleveland lost a big game last week and Derrick Anderson had his worst game of the season. Cleveland plays big this week which will be their last home game of the season.

San Francisco 17 Cleveland 31

Minnesota at Denver

The Broncos will do everything to stop the running game of the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings will punish Selvin Young and Travis Henry so Jay Cutler will have to beat them. I like Cutler over Tarvaris Jackson.

Minnesota 13 Denver 17

Dallas at Washington

Dallas has no Owens, Romo may sit and a lot of defensive players will get the hook early against a Washington team that needs this win in order to get into the playoffs.

Dallas 14 Washington 24

Pittsburgh at Baltimore

The Steelers lost Willie Parker for the year and Roethlisberger will sit this game out. The Ravens will be without Willis McGahee.  I like the Ravens at home in a low scoring game.

Pittsburgh 9 Baltimore 12

San Diego at Oakland

The Raiders have played well lately except for the beating they took by the Jaguars last week. The Chargers need this game to secure the 3rd seed. Tomlinson will run all over Oakland and the Chargers defense will stifle JaMarcus Russell.

San Diego 23 Oakland 17

St. Louis at Arizona

Kurt Warner is on fire and I expect him to have a big game against his old team. Boldin and Fitzgerald are too big for the Rams secondary to contain.

St. Louis 24 Arizona 27

Kansas City at NY Jets

The Chiefs offense is horrible. The Jets at home in the season finale should play well against their former coach Herm Edwards.

Kansas City 17 NY Jets 23

Tennessee at Indianapolis

Titans need this game for the post-season and the Colts have nothing to play for.  I see Manning playing a half and leaving the field with a lead. The question is if the Colts backups can hang on to the lead.

Tennessee 20 Indianapolis 21
