Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers: This is a rivalry game, so that must be taken into account. However, neither team is playing for anything but pride in this game. San Diego has already been eliminated from the playoffs. Denver has already tied up the second seed and a first round bye, while the Colts have already won home field throughout. But Denver will probably rest a few starters at some point in preperation for a playoff game in two weeks, and San Diego will pull off the win. San Diego 27-20
New York Giants at Oakland Raiders: Oakland's offense is full of rather potent weapons, they just seem to have an inability to use them well. Meanwhile, New York's offense with Tiki Barber, Plaxico Burress, Jeremy Shockey, and Eli Manning isn't anything you want to mess with. New York 30-17
Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons are playing for a win, but the Panthers want in the playoffs. Besides, Michael Vick is way overrated. Carolina 24-17
Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns: How is it that Baltimore has won two straight, and scored over 30 points in both of those games? I guess the NFC North has some pretty pathetic defenses. But this is the AFC North, and the Browns have a slightly better defense. Also, Charlie Frye is hot. So I'll take the Browns in a close one. Cleveland 17-14
Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers: Shaun Alexander says the TD record doesn't mean anything to him. I don't believe it for a second, coming from the same guy who threw a fit when his team didn't put him in so he could be the rushing champion. The good news is, Seattle will probably put him in at some point to let him have his record. And even though they're resting a lot of people, their starters will be in just long enough to get a good lead. Seattle 17-14
Arizona Cardinals at Indianapolis Colts: Indy has tied up the first seed in the AFC, and has lost the perfect season. They aren't playing for anything. Despite that, it doesn't take much to beat Arizona. Jim Sorgi will have his first 300 yard game in his career, and the Colts second stringers cruis. Indianapolis 27-13
Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs: Both teams are coming to play. Cincinnati wants a third seed, so that they can travel to Denver rather than Indy in the second round. Kansas City needs San Diego to lose on Saturday, and Pittsburgh to lose to Detroit, but if that happens and they win, they're in. Even if San Diego wins, it's a home game. I don't like any team playing in KC. Kansas City 34-31
Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots: New England, with a win and Cincinnati loss, gets the third seed. That comes in handy in dodging the Colts for a round. But it also makes a tougher draw in the first round, playing (probably) Pittsburgh at home, rather than a wussy Florida team from Jacksonville that doesn't know what cold is. Anyways, New England 27-17
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets: This is a dogfight, as in, both teams are dogs. Buffalo is slightly better though, especially with Holcombe at QB. Kelly Holcombe is underated, and will tear a new arse for the Jets. Buffalo 24-14
Detroit Lions at Pittsburgh Steelers: Really, is there any way that the worst team in the NFC North (Yes, this is the worst team, despite the Packers having a worse record) can beat a team that simply needs to win to make it the playoffs? Besides that, the Steelers are at home. Pittburgh 34-6.
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Saints will not beat Tampa Bay, especially since a win would give Tampa a division title. Besides that a loss, a Texans win, and a few other lucky bounces could give New Orleans the first pick. The Saints are only a few stars away from going 8-8 or better. But this year, New Orleans stinks. Tampa Bay wins 34-10
Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars: Well, Jacksonville has already wrapped everything up, but I still don't see them losing to a division rival, and a pathetic one at that. Jacksonville 20-14
Houston Texans at San Francisco 49ers: If the Texans win, everybody should stop accusing them of losing for Reggie Bush, including the loss to Tennessee. A win here takes them out of the top spot in the draft. And with how bad the 49ers are, Houston will throw the top draft pick to the wind for a win. Houston 21-17
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings: Chicago has wrapped up a first round bye, so are they really inclined to win? Their defense is good though. Despite that, I see the loveboat team getting a winning record, as I just don't see Chicago putting forth a full effort for the win. Minnesota 27-14
Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles: A win puts the Redskins in the playoffs. I can see that happening, as Philly just hasn't been up to snuff this year. Is it yet another Madden curse? Washington 24-7
St. Louis Rams at Dallas Cowboys: Bill Parcell's squad can get into the playoffs with a win and a few lucky bounces. I don't know about the Redskins losing, but I don't see the Cowboys losing either. Dallas 27-10
