Looks like a real snoozer tonight. Vick-less dream team vs. the shithawks.

I'm looking forward to watching the Broncos destroy my Vikings though. I wonder, though, how will Tebow win if he isn't behind in the 4th quarter?

Kind of a bad looking week. Bengals Steelers might be good.

Giants will upset the Pack, you heard it here first =O

Vikings' only area that doesn't suck is their rushing defense. But they won't be able to put up points against a very good Broncos defense. Probably another low-scoring game where Tebow wins it with some late-game heroics.

Are you sold on Tebow anyway? All the stats guys are saying it's not Tebow winning, it's the defense. The numbers seem to bear that out. But I won't say that he's hurting their team. I think he brings a certain optimism to the locker room that helps everyone even if he's not very good at throwing the ball.

Oh and there's no way the Giants beat the Packers. Not a stout enough defense by a long shot, and there's no way they'd win in a shootout.

Ugh, please don't make him answer that.

Not really many exciting games here on the list. Bengals and Steelers and Packers and Giants are the only ones that jump out.

Another crappy offense to make the pats D look golden.

The Pats may not have the greatest D this year, but they aren't doing that bad. The only category that they really suck in, is Yards allowed per game. But even it that category, they are only allowing 10 or so yards a game more than Green Bay. They are actually top ten in most defensive categories.

I don't know what Mike McCarthy's plan is, but this seems to be the trickiest game in the 5 remaining. I just don't see McCarthy resting his team vs CHI and vs DET in the closing weeks since both opponents are still fighting for a wild card. Those are better teams than the Giants right now, but the Packers will be at home against division rivals. Plus the Giants know their slim playoff hopes end with a loss.

So I think this game (barring injuries) will decide whether the Pack make the push for 16-0 or settle for 14-2.

Yeah, they are actually decent against the run, but all you need to defeat them is a decent QB.

My picks :) I was about 2/3rds right last week, I'll be lucky if I get half of these right. I just don't know AFC teams very well.

Any chance that peanut brained diva had at landing a fat contract went up in flames this year. At this point he'll be begging for an offer let alone a big payday like he's been whining for.
