While the Thursday and Saturday Night games that NFL Network is promoting this week are less than inspiring, we do get to end the week on a pretty fantastic game. Regardless, Happy Holidays everyone, hope you get everything you wanted besides your favorite team making it to the playoffs. HA! Just kidding.
The Craptastic games of the week go to:
Panthers @ Steelers
Woohoo. I think the Steelers will win this one at home. Just a guess though.
Cowboys @ Cards
Yay! We have a Christmas Day game it's, oh, well, at least the Cowboys get a good scrimmage game to improve their skill sets.
Lions @ Dolphins
The Lions are 1-6 on the road, the Dolphins are 1-6 at home. And every time I pick the damned Fish they let me down. Maybe they'll actually win at home this week.
Ravens @ Browns
Unless Mangenius pulls some of the fancy tricks he did in the middle of the season I don't see how these two teams could play a more inspired game. Even with the Ravens playing tough, close games the last few weeks, they haven't exactly been exciting to watch. Ravens will still win this one on the road.
Patriots @ Bills
If the Patriots actually had some competition this could be a good game. With the streak Belichick and Brady are on though, the Bills should get smeared.
49ers @ Rams
There's actually some division rivalry and competition for the NFC West Division title riding on this game. Go ahead and watch if you don't mind watching a 6-8 Rams try to defend their first place position against a 5-9 49ers. I like Spagnuolo more than Singletary, so I'll go with the Rams to win this one.
Seahawks @ Bucs
Am I being too tough on these games this week? Jeez, I have a large Craptastic section. Anywho, the Bucs will win this game at home.
Not Craptastic but not Fantastic:
Redsk!ns @ Jags
McNabb feels disrespected from his benching. Shanny likes Rex as the starter at the moment. Haynesworthless is still suspended the last four games of the regular season for being disobedient. I don't know what the hell is going on in that locker room, but it can't be pretty. The Jags will easily win at home.
Titans @ Chiefs
The Titans surprised the Texans and quite a few others last week when they finally woke up from their coma and played some football. Still, they are playing the Chiefs at Arrowhead, and the Chiefs need to keep their lead on the Chargers. Chiefs win at home.
Colts @ Raiders
This almost went in the Craptastic section-but I think it might actually be humorous to watch Peyton get frustrated in the Black Hole. The Raiders will pummel the Colts at home just because they can.
Chargers @ Bengals
T.O. is out for the season, OchoCinco has been awfully quiet, and the Bengals are sitting embarrassed at 3-11. The Chargers have an easy win on the road.
Texans @ Broncos
Any game involving the Broncos should be in the Craptastic section, the only reason this game might be mildly amusing is that Tebow is starting for the Broncos again, and if the Coaches and Owner are listening as closely to the fan base as they have been the last few weeks, they'll let Tebow throw for more than 16 passes to 33 runs. I still think ol' Koob and the Texans will get the win on the road.
Vikings @ Eagles
Will Favre play? Will he not play? Does anybody care anymore? Hell no. Why doesn't he stay gone? The Eagles will win this one easily, doesn't matter who the Vikings try to plug in at QB.
Regardless of the large Craptastic section, we do have a solid Fantastic section this week:
Jets @ Bears
The Bears have proved to be a more solid team this season than most of us have wanted to give them credit for. Still, the Jets have more at stake with their playoff hopes on the line. Look for the once beaten and humiliated Jets who dusted themselves off last week and played some football, to shock some Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday.
Giants @ Packers
This is a must-win playoff game for both these NFC teams. The Pack proved themselves a worthy team last week when they almost made a comeback against the Pats at Foxboro with their rookie QB. If Rodgers had been in, they would have won that game. Look for Rodgers to play better than Eli Manning and for Coughlin to throw a fit after his team melts down in the 4th quarter.
Saints @ Falcons
Holy Monday Nighter! This is a pretty stiff NFC South Division rivalry, the Falcons are hanging on to the lead at 12-2 and the Saints are right behind them at 10-4. If the Saints have any hope of getting a Wild Card spot in the close NFC race this game is a must-win. And the Super Bowl Champs feel like they have to prove that they can still play with the big dogs. Saints go for the win on the road.

Week Fifteen Picks
Three weeks left in the regular season, and a few teams are already starting to plan their moves for the off season. Let's face it, for a few teams, their seasons were done a few weeks ago.
Anywho, the games that could make you go blind this week are:
49ers @ Chargers
This is the Thursday Night Football Game? Really? Chargers win.
Cards @ Panthers
It's the rookie QB face-off. While Jimmy Clausen has had more games to play this season than Skelton who started last week, Skelton seems to be the more consistent QB in this matchup. Since the rest of the teams are pretty much crap except for Hightower and Fitzgerald, let's just say the Cards will win on the road.
Browns @ Bengals
It's the Ohio matchup, woo hoo. Even though this is probably a must-win for Mangenius to keep his job, the Bengals figured out what their offensive is capable of against teams like the Steelers last week. The Bengals should be able to take this one at home.
Lions @ Bucs
Whew, well, both teams have improved since last season-neither of them are great quite yet. But I believe the Bucs will win this one at home.
Broncos @ Raiders
The Broncos lost the only remaining game they had any hope of winning last week to the Cards. The Raiders already came into Mile High this season and scored 59 points. Even with McD gone, the Broncos are still in a free-fall and Pat Bowlen and Ellis are already shopping for a new GM and a new Head Coach for next season. Look for the Raiders to have an easy win over a demoralized Broncos team who is still starting Orton at QB even though he has a rib injury and has sucked hard the last two weeks.
Not Craptastic but not Fantastic:
Redsk!ns @ Cowboys
Week One this was the matchup that everyone talked about. And then the Cowboys kept losing. And then Phillips got fired. And then the Cowboys got motivated. And then Haynesworthless gave Shanahan even more headaches. And then McNabb started to throw INTs and was benched. And then McNabb came back. And now... the Cowboys are the better team to win in big D.
Bills @ Dolphins
I still think the Dolphins are a better team. Even though they haven't won at home much, at all. Surely they can beat the Bills, the Bills team that beat the Browns last week, the Browns team that beat the Dolphins the week before that... and, yeah. I'll still go for the Fish at home.
Chiefs @ Rams
Cassel should be back from his appendectomy this week to lead a stronger Chiefs team to a win over the Rams.
Texans @ Titans
Wherefore art thou Titans? Fisher? Young? Oh, a civil war in the locker room, eh? Look for the Texans to win on the road after a heartbreaking OT loss in Monday Night's game to the Ravens.
Falcons @ Seahawks
The Falcons not only have the best record in the NFL right now, they are also the League's best kept secret. Most aren't paying attention to the dirty birds yet, but will have to in the playoffs. Look for the Falcons to win on the road in Qwest Field. Yeah, I said it, the Seahawks are going to lose at home. Boohoo.
Packers @ Patriots
Once upon a time, I would have had a great argument for why this matchup would be magnificent. And then I learned that Aaron Rodgers is out with a concussion and Flynn is starting. Well, I guess the Pats have another win in Foxboro.
Bears @ Vikings
Well, since the roof has fallen in on the Vikings season, HA! I bet the Bears will mark up another win in Monday Night Football.
The Best Competition of the Week goes to:
Saints @ Ravens
While these two teams have hovered between the top tier to the top of the middle-line teams this season-this should definitely be a game to watch. The Ravens barely pulled out a win on Monday Night to the Texans, and have blown their lead in the 4th quarter more than once this season. While Schaub and the Texans made one hell of a comeback-look for Drew Brees and the Saints to make the comeback and win it.
Jaguars @ Colts
This division rivalry game became a lot more interesting with the current standings of the AFC South. Look for the Jags to give the Colts fits on Sunday, but for Peyton to pull out the win at home in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Eagles @ Giants
My first inclination was to go with the Eagles in this matchup. However, Vick got knocked around A LOT last week, (ahem, offensive line) and Bradshaw and Jacobs have been lighting up the field with their feet. The G-men's offensive line has also been strong up front and their QB hasn't had much of a chance to get that infamous deer in the headlights look. The Giants should be able to win this game at home.
Jets @ Steelers
Rex Ryan and the Jets have had their tail between their legs since their ass whooping by the Patriots two weeks ago. They certainly won't lose by that wide of a margin to the Steelers-but Roethlisberger is certainly motivated to win and get to the playoffs, regardless of a broken foot, or nose, or anything else for that matter.
Anywho, the games that could make you go blind this week are:
49ers @ Chargers
This is the Thursday Night Football Game? Really? Chargers win.
Cards @ Panthers
It's the rookie QB face-off. While Jimmy Clausen has had more games to play this season than Skelton who started last week, Skelton seems to be the more consistent QB in this matchup.

Week Fourteen Picks
This week we get to see how Studesville handles the head coaching position of the Denver Broncos. (Really? The Running Back's coach? But there hasn't even been a rushing offense to speak of this season.) Anywho, Pat Bowlen is hoping that this new interim coach can provide the spark that both Dallas and Minnesota found in the firings of their head coaches. Welcome to NFL, the Not For Long League.
The Craptastic games go to:
Colts @ Titans
Wow, both teams are plummeting quickly and neither know how to save themselves. Even though Peyton Manning has thrown 11 INTs the last three games, I think the Colts have a better chance of winning this one.
Browns @ Bills
The Bills don't know how to play football for 60 minutes. Last week they took Favre out of the game and then ran back an INT for a touchdown. After that, they thought their game problems were solved. The Browns, on the other hand, are playing for the full 60 minutes and have taken down quality teams this year. Look for Mangenius and the Browns to finish above .500 and Mangenius to hang onto his job for another year.
Bucs @ Redsk!ns
The Bucs struggle in cold weather games but the Sk!ns have struggled all season. Look for the Bucs to upset the Sk!ns at home.
Seahawks @ 49ers
A division rivalry that could determine a playoff position for either team. Yet the 49ers assistant coach abruptly resigned this week and Alex Smith and Singletary are left to do what they do best. Lose. The Seahawks aren't consistent on the road but they should be able to beat a down and out 49ers team.
Broncos @ Cards
Wow. Talk about two seasons that are shot. Studesville starts at head coach this week against rookie QB Skelton. You know what the Broncos should do? They should try out their rookie QB Tebow just to see what he can do. Broncos win on the road. Finally.
Not Craptastic but not Fantastic:
Packers @ Lions
The Lions could win games if they only lasted 30 minutes. The Packers are hunting for the lead in their division and are so close to the playoffs they can taste it. Look for the Pack to come out with the win.
Giants @ Vikings
The Giants may have lost the last four meetings between these two teams but are due for a win.
Bengals @ Steelers
The Steelers finally gained the upper hand with their win over the other division rival in the Ravens. They'll hang on to the lead this week with a win against the Bengals.
Raiders @ Jags
The Jags are surprisingly more consistent and have the lead in the AFC South. The Raiders are too inconsistent for me to pick them in this game. Jags for the win.
Falcons @ Panthers
The Panthers haven't played well all season. And this last week Coach John Fox admitted it was probably due to a lack of talent. The Falcons certainly don't have a lack of talent and will take another win to add to their division lead.
Rams @ Saints
The Rams are playing better, but probably won't win their 3rd road game this season against a Saints team who is trying to stay competitive with their division rival, the Falcons. Saints win.
Chiefs @ Chargers
The Chiefs' QB Matt Cassel is out this week due to his appendectomy, bringing in Brodie for QB. Between that and playing at Qualcomm I'd have to say that the Chargers take the win and come one game closer to taking the division lead.
Ravens @ Texans
Why is this the Monday Night game? Anywho, the Texans are inconsistent enough this season to not be able to win against a Ravens team whose mediocre offense hasn't had much improvement this season. Ravens for the win.
Fantastic Competition:
Patriots @ Bears
Cutler complained about Soldier Field having one of the worst turfs in the NFL this week. Even though the worst turf should serve as an advantage for the home team, the Pats know enough about football to stall the Martz-Cutler offense and work around Urlacher and the defense.
Dolphins @ Jets
The Jets have to be absolutely humiliated after their Monday Night loss when Belichick exposed all their weaknesses. Sparano will be watching this film very carefully, but alas, his sunglasses will hinder his vision and the Jets will win for the second time this season in this division rivalry matchup.
Eagles @ Cowboys
The Cowboys got good in just enough time to throw a wrench into other teams' playoff plans. This should be a real tough game for either team to win, but the Eagles have more at stake for playoff chances and I'll take Vick over Kitna any day.
The Craptastic games go to:
Colts @ Titans
Wow, both teams are plummeting quickly and neither know how to save themselves. Even though Peyton Manning has thrown 11 INTs the last three games, I think the Colts have a better chance of winning this one.

Week Thirteen Picks
Four more weeks of the regular season and some of the teams and fans can't wait for their team to go home during the off season and figure out what the hell the game of football is about. Anywho...
The craptastic games of the week go to:
Broncos @ Chiefs
Sure, it's a division rivalry. Sure, the Chiefs coach Todd Haley shook his finger at Josh McDaniels after losing by a few scores to the Broncos in Mile High a couple of weeks ago -- that doesn't make this game that much more interesting. Look for the Chiefs to win at home.
Bills @ Vikings
I don't know that the Vikings will put forth an honest effort this week. That and Favre has a touchdown to interception ratio of 22:25 in the game immediately following his retirement announcement. The Bills rush defense has improved-but I don't think it'll be enough to stop the Vikings at home.
Rams @ Cards
Sam Bradford will be laughing hard. Derek Anderson stated last week that nothing is funny, that he takes this sh*t seriously, and that he studies his ass off every week. I think the fun loving Rams and Sam Bradford will take their second road win easily.
Panthers @ Seahawks
Humph. I'll take the Seahawks at home.
Not craptastic but not fantastic:
Saints @ Bengals
The Saints aren't as consistent as the 2009 team, but they should be able to pull out the win against the Bengals.
Bears @ Lions
The Lions may have felt robbed in Week One with the Calvin Johnson non-catch episode. However, these two teams have demonstrated very different abilities in the weeks since then, and the Bears will probably take the road win against a Lions team being led by Stanton this week.
49ers @ Packers
I think the Pack could claim their 3rd coach of the season this week. Bye Phillips, Childress, and... Singletary? The Pack could claim their 3rd coach AND take home the win this week. (Now if could only arrange for the Packers to play the Broncos....)
Browns @ Dolphins
The Dolphins are a solid team when they actually show up to play. The Browns have surprised a few teams (and me) this season. The Fish will be more determined to win this game as it could mean their division.
Redsk!ns @ Giants
The Giants may be running hot and cold this season -- but that hasn't stopped Eli Manning from picking apart bad defenses. Look for the G-Men to win this one.
Jags @ Titans
Either the good Jags or the bad Jags could show up this week. Either way, Kerry Collins is back in for the Titans and Coach Fisher needs the Win to keep his job. I'll take the Titans to win at home.
Raiders @ Chargers
The Raiders could surprise the Chargers and take this one. But I doubt it. The Chargers will be making a run at the Chiefs lead in the division.
Cowboys @ Colts
Some are surprised the Colts are 6-6. What they fail to consider is that Caldwell isn't as competitive of a coach as Dungy -- and Manning can only do so much. That being said, I don't believe Kitna and Garrett will walk out of Lucas Oil with a win.
Falcons @ Bucs
The Falcons have too much to lose in their division if they drop this game to the Bucs. And while their last few wins have been some close calls, they will be playing hard to keep their division position solid.
Texans @ Eagles
The Texans surprised the Titans at home last week. I'll still take the Eagles offense over the Texans defense this season. Look for Vick and his team to win at home this week.
Some Fantastic competition this week:
Steelers @ Ravens
The Ravens offense has been mediocre at best, and their defense has been on board to play the majority of the season. While the Steelers are running hot and cold, they are the better team when they show up to play. The Steelers should win this one on the road.
Jets @ Pats
A high-powered AFC game this week. While the Jets won the first meeting of these two teams, look for Belichick and Brady to solidify a win at home.
The craptastic games of the week go to:
Broncos @ Chiefs
Sure, it's a division rivalry. Sure, the Chiefs coach Todd Haley shook his finger at Josh McDaniels after losing by a few scores to the Broncos in Mile High a couple of weeks ago -- that doesn't make this game that much more interesting. Look for the Chiefs to win at home.
