NFL Picks, one week left!
After this week, there's only one more left in the NFL Season. Seems like only yesterday I was bemoaning a Buccaneers win in the Super Bowl (because it kept Warren Sapp in our collective consciousness for another 8 months), and here we are with the regular season almost over.

So, here we go:
Saturday Games:
Atlanta at Tampa Bay: Somehow, someway, Tampa Bay is still in the playoff hunt. Atlanta is not. Buccaneers
Kansas City at Minnesota: In what probably constitutes an upset, especially the way the Purple People Allowers to Runners Throughers have been playing, they will beat the now-overrated Chiefs. Vikings
New England at NY Jets: No contest. The Patriots are the best team in the NFL right now, which everyone knows. Tough luck for the Jets. Patriots

Sunday Games:
Miami at Buffalo: I predicted, along with everyone else, that Dave Wannstedt would lose his job this season. And I, along with everyone else, will be right. Oh, and so will Gregg Williams, but nobody cares about him. Bills
NY Giants at Dallas: So, let me get this straight: you fire your coach, but keep him around? What good does that do? Cowboys
Detroit at Carolina: The Detroit Lions are growing something bigger than themselves: The Streak. It extends to 24 this week. Panthers
Washington at Chicago: Dan Snyder has announced that Steve Spurrier will be kept next season. Dick Jauron, however, probably won't be. What horrible God allowed the Bears to get to 6-8? Redskins
Tennessee at Houston: For a guy who turned the Panthers into a NFC title-game participant after only two years, Dom Capers seems like a bumbling idiot with the Texans. Titans
Cincinnati at St. Louis: pleaseohpleaseohplease Bengals
Baltimore at Cleveland: In a game that means everything to the Ravens, they'll beat up on Cleveland like nobody's business. Ravens
New Orleans at Jacksonville: I like the way the Jaguars are playing behind Leftwich, and I know that Aaron Brooks is playing "Let's all be schizophrenic now" on his harmonica, but really, New Orleans is a better team. Saints
San Diego at Pittsburgh: John Butler's legacy will be forever tainted by letting Rodney Harrison and Junior Seau go, and David Boston come in. Steelers
Arizona at Seattle: Rumors are rumbling that Mike Holmgren's job is in jeopardy right now, and I can understand why. He should quiet the critics for a while this week. Seahawks
San Francisco at Philadelphia: Last week proved the 49ers' weakness is their defense, especially against the run. Their offense is something special, though. Eagles
Denver at Indianapolis: This is a tough one to call, since the Colts have less to play for than the Broncos. But they should still put one together. Colts

Monday game:
Green Bay at Oakland: Poor Oakland. Let us all lament the passing of their dink-and-dunk at the hands of age and a bad shipment of geritol. Packers
