Seattle Seahawks +8 @ Green Bay Packers 4:30pm on FOX--- I do not give teams that play in Green Bay too much of a chance for victory. Seattle has to play the near perfect game to win. I believe that Matt Hasselbeck will definately keep the Seahawks involved in this game. If you actually compare numbers Farve and Hasselbeck are near mirror images of one another. It should be a GREAT game. Look for a Seattle to keep it close. I would say 30-27 Green Bay.
Jacksonville Jaguars +13 @ New England Patriots 8:00 on CBS--- Jacksonville has a chance to win this game outright. Will they??? I certainly hope so. I would be comical if the The Patriots go 15-0 and one cheated game ( they should have had to forfeit ) to then lose their first playoff game. Jacksonville will need to run the ball well. They do have the two headed monster on Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew to establish a good running game. Since that is the underbelly of their opponent, they should exploit it. I will take the points as the Patriots have not covered their last six games. Final score will probably be Patriots 27- Jaguars 17.

San Diego Chargers +9 @ Indianapolis Colts 1:00pm on CBS--- The Chargers need to give the ball to LaDainian Tomlinson 35 times. They need to establish him to have a shot at winning this game. Without Antonio Gates ( dislocated Big Toe ) the Chargers need to run,run,run and play keep the ball away from Payton Manning. If they don't keep the ball away from Manning, they will probably not win this game. The Chargers cannot expect Manning to throw 6 INT's like he did in San Diego earlier this season. So they need to rush him and hope he makes some mistakes. I think the Chargers will lose this game soundly. This is not the pathetic Titans offense. Colts 31- Chargers 17.
New York Giants +7 1/2 @ Dallas Cowboys 4:30pm on FOX--- Hey do you know what, Tony Romo just ate breakfast. Does anyone care??? No!!! And nobody gives a damn if he is sleeping with Jessica Simpson. Though, Tony took two GIANT steps back from Carrie Underwood but that is his business, not mine or yours or anyone elses. That all being said, Tony Romo gets paid to throw TD's and I think he will. He will probably throw 4 of them. Terrell Owens in all likelyhood will start so that is not an issue. But the Giants will stay close. The key to the Giants is to get a pass rush on Romo and to run the ball well against the Dallas defense. If they do those two things they have a chance to win. I see Dallas winning by the final of 38-34.
I will post the standings, on Monday!!! Have a GREAT weekend!!!
