Here are my picks, and if you ask me, everyone has similiar picks because a lot of good teams are playing bad ones this week:
Carolina over Dallas
Dallas is my 2nd favorite team and I love Bill Parcells, but I don't know if Quincy can have time to throw against this d-line. I do know that the Cowboys receivers will get open, but can Quincy find them while on the run?
Minnesota over Detroit
uhm, yeah right. Detroit should rename it's team to the Calico's, because they're about as dangerous as that.
Indianapolis over Buffalo
Peyton will dominate this game with a decent performance. This game will be ugly. Buffalo's defense is playing better, but Bledsoe just can't seam to get the offense going anymore. Reminds me what happened in New England before the Brady Bunch took over. Buffalo has bad luck with QB's.
NY Jets over Jacksonville
Chad Pennington is getting healthier and the Jets are just way better than Jacksonville. The Jags are under construction.
New England over Houston
The Texans can put points up, but they aren't going to have it easy. The Pats redesigned their offense and defense against Dallas, to take out the Parcells factor. I don't think there's a team that can out coach this one. Only out play. Houston doesn't have the personel for that yet.
Philadelphia over New Orleans
Philly is coming back strong and trying to regain their stance as the best of the NFC East. With Dallas and Philly both playing tough games, I can see McNabb pushing to the limit to give Philly the chance to tie Da Boys. Oh yeah, Philly is tough at home. Real tough. The city of brotherly love doesn't apply to visiting teams. Just ask Michael Irvin [punch].
Cleveland over Pittsburgh
This game will be the pits for Steeler fans. To my astonishment, the Browns look much better without Johnson and Green.
Seattle over Baltimore
I would pick Baltimore because Seattle always falls off at the end of the year, but the Ravens are having off field problems and finger pointing is the first sign of selfishness and that will cost games.
Green Bay over San Francisco
San Fran might be getting better, but they are not as desperate or eager as Green Bay is to win this game. 1st reason: Green Bay can catch up with the Vikes and pass them if they even come close to winning out. Especially the way the Vikes have been playing. 2nd reason: It's not Cali weather. 49ers will fight at the dawn of winter and will freeze. This is the season of the Pack. They are at their best in the cold months.
Denver over Chicago
Jake the Snake is still over-rated as far as I'm concerned, but he is still a decent QB and will drive the ball down the Bears throats. Not to mention the thin air gives Denver a double advantage at home. Just ask Flutie.
St. Louis over Arizona
Arizona is still playing this year? The Rams are going to catch this little bird and do to them as that Arizona pitcher did to that Dove. :die:. You know, maybe part of the Cardinals problem is that name. They may be mean birds, but a water hose kicks their tail feathers. Maybe if they were called the Arizona Phoenix they might be more intimidating.
Cincinnati over San Diego
San Diego, beautiful city, ugly football team. nuff said.
Kansas City over Oakland
Kansas City has taken every Monday off this year except this week. I think they are going to be a little more serious this week than they have been. Oakland will feel like a red headed step child.
Tennessee over Atlanta
Vick is back, but a team mate stepped on his bad ankle.
. Tennessee is the best team in football this year. I don't care what Tony Gonzalez thinks.
Miami over Washington
Ricky and the Dolphins will make Spurrier wish he would have stayed in college. Dave Wannstedt is fighting for his job and is desperate to make the playoffs. He can't get the div title with the Pats playing the way they are, so he's just going to have to shoot for the wildcard and win as much as possible.
Tampa Bay over NY Giants
With Keyshawn out of the picture, maybe the Buccs can rebound like Cleveland did last week. Now Sapp is once again the only big mouth on the Buccs. The Giants are moving too slow and getting crushed. No Shockey for them either.
This might be close at moments but it should be obvious who will end up victorious.
Nice picks, very well thought out.
I partially agree with Keyshawn, but Gruden doesn't have a long way. I think Gruden being the youngest coach in history to head coach a team when he took the job in Oakland and then being the youngest coach in history to win a Superbowl is merit enough to put in him in the same league with Parcells. He has quite a few years left in him, and he is every bit as mean and dominate to his players. His players would do anything for him as well. Keyshawn worked so well with Parcells, that Parcells traded him to Tampa to get him out of his hair. Keyshawn has a bad habit of opening his mouth without thinking too much. Too bad he isn't opening his hands when the ball comes to him or this team wouldn't be on the verge of elimination. 
I'll drink to a repeat of that.
