It's difficult for me to keep track of which teams need the win and which teams don't. Of course, that meant nothing to the Colts! Whatever. Hey, I won my fantasy league! Interesting games.

I don't see how they'll muster enough points to keep this close. Romo healthy or not, they'll cover this number. Sunday 1:00 Browns @ Cincinnati(+3) Cleveland beat them earlier and I guess there's no reason to go the other way. Browns. Packers @ Chicago(+8.5) The Packers want home field, and unless Chicago can get crazy turnovers, they won't keep it close. Give the points. Texans @ Indy(-7) If Manning plays, it will be just for a bit in the first quarter. I expect most of the key players to get extended periods of rest in this game. That's why the spread is only 7. I suspect Indy will play hard anyway, even if Manning is sitting. Chiefs @ Detroit(-4.5) The Chiefs are plain awful. The only hesitation is that Detroit has dropped a few games in a row. Even though they are exposed, I don't believe KC can exploit it. Expect a bit more running in this game, but I still can't bring myself to start Kevin Jones on my fantasy team. Give the points. Giants @ Buffalo(+2) The Giants will figure out a way to win this one. Give the points. Raiders @ Jacksonville(-13) The Raiders are really bad and getting worse. Their defense is increasingly disappointing. I'll give the number. Eagles @ New Orleans(-3) Are the Eagles even still in it? I think Westbrook is a little dinged up...I'll take the Saints and give the points. Sunday 4:10±5 Falcons @ Arizona(-10.5) The Falcons have already cleared out their lockers. Most of the guys on the higher end of the pay scale will probably be gone next year. Give the points. Bucs @ San Francisco(+6) This is such a complicated time of the year. I think I'll take the points in this one. Dolphins @ New England(-22) After the Dolphins won last week, New England will want to spank them back. Especially in front of the '72 folks. Ravens @ Seattle(-10.5) The Ravens lost to Miami. I don't believe they have any pride left. What thinking leads to giving Billick an extension? Baffling! Give the points. Jest @ Tennessee(-8.5) The only reason to pick the Jets is if you're impressed that they kept it close with New England last week. I think that was weather related. I'll give the points. I WANT MCFADDEN! Sunday NBC Redskins @ Minnesota(-6.5) The Redskins have been playing much better of late, but I'm really impressed by Minnesota. I'm going to give the points. MNF Broncos @ San Diego(-9) Man, I hope Gates has a big game. I have the early lead in my fantasy league super bowl!! Give the points. Saturday NFLN
