		<description>Picks from Al via email:

Anyway, here are the final regular season picks:

1pm
Colts at Bills -8
Painter vs. Brohm?  Eww.  This is a lot of points, but I&#039;m going to lay them anyway.  

Saints at Panthers -7
Starters or no, the Panthers are just a better team right now, and they&#039;ll want to beat on the Saints.  They will run.  A lot. Give the points.

Jaguars at Browns -1.5
Whatever.  As long as Del Rio actually gets carries for Jones-Drew.  Also, the Browns and Anderson suck.  Take the points.

Bears at Lions +3
The Bears appear to be playing hard for Lovie.  I&#039;ll give the 3.

Patriots at Texans -7
So this game means nothing to the Patriots?  Poppycock.  Belicheck hates to lose and won&#039;t rest his players until the third quarter.  All the pressure is on Houston and they don&#039;t play well in that spot.  Take the points.

Steelers at Miami +3
Still not sure if Polomalu will play.  If he does, I like the Steelers because of the headache he&#039;ll give Henne.  If he doesn&#039;t, I&#039;ll take Miami.  Can I do that?   Gah, I really don&#039;t like this game.  I&#039;ll take Miami and the points.  

Giants at Vikings -8
The Vikings are swooning.  Favre is done.  The Giants will be desperate to perform after last weeks egg.  I love getting points here.  

Forty-Niners at Rams +8
I like getting points here.  The Niners don&#039;t score enough to lay this amount of points, especially on the road.

Falcons at Buccaneers +2
The notion going around is that the Falcons want to knock the &quot;no back to back winning seasons&quot; monkey off their back.  That&#039;s true, but it&#039;s also motivation for the Bucs to make sure they don&#039;t achieve it.  The Falcons are no better than the Buccaneers right now, assuming no turnovers for Freeman.  I like getting points.  

4pm
Eagles at Cowboys -3
Gulp!  I think I&#039;m actually going to trust Romo with this one.  He&#039;s been playing great!  And the Eagles lost their starting center last week, so that will cause some problems.  I&#039;ll give the 3.

Packers at Cardinals  -3.5
This is a tough game to pick ahead of time.  The Packers won&#039;t play their starters.  Neither will Arizona *unless* the Vikings lose, because then they will play for the bye.  I guess I have to pick the Cardinals because I have the Giants winning.

Chiefs at Broncos -11
Ridiculous!  I think the Chiefs may win this game straight up.  I&#039;ll take all those points.

Ravens at Raiders +10.5 
The Ravens need a win, but they won&#039;t blow out the Raiders.  I&#039;ll take the points.

Redskins at Chargers -3.5
Norv Turner spoke to the media saying his team was going to play all their starters and play hard.  I guess that means I have to take the Chargers.  I&#039;ll give the points.

Titans at Seahawks +4
The Titans want Johnson to break 2000 yards, so they&#039;ll play hard.  The Seahawks have no heart.  I&#039;ll give the points.

Bengals at Jets -10
Will the Bengals sit their starters?  It&#039;s still unknown.  I will hedge and take the points with the theory that the Jets love killing their fans.  Oh, and it&#039;s going to be crazy windy so that means the score will be low, making such a large spread unlikely.</description>
