Carolina +2.5 at Buffalo -2.5
OVER/UNDER NL
One of these two will get its second win. The other, well sinks even deeper.
Hard to figure Buffalo as any kind of favorite, especially after getting shut out like that.
(There were even rumors that O.J. might come out of retirement to help thier struggling offense;)
While Carolina is coming off a vicotry of sorts having covered agianst N.O. on the road.
While we have been laughing at the Bills plight -- they actually do play well at home especially in Dec.
With Eric Moulds poised to have a big day Buffalo gets win No. 2 up in Orchard Park.
****************************************
Buffalo 23 - Carolina 17
****************************************
FINAL BUF 25 - CAR 24 WINNER/No Cover
Chicago +5.5 at Green Bay -5.5
OVER/UNDER NL
While Farve thrives on Prime time, he plays his best on the big stage and this is a big stage.
Possibly the Central Division being up for grabs one figures Farve to be peaking at just the right time.
Despite it all Chicago is for real and having played the Pack just a few weeks ago these divisional foes know each other well.
While I am still big on the Pack, this Bear team will bring a bunch to the table and leave it all out there too,
Farve should pull it out but the Beaz will Roar... an OT thriller.
****************************************
Green Bay 19 - Chi. 16
****************************************
FINAL GB 17 - CHI 7 WINNER/No Cover
Cleveland +4.5 at New England -4.5
OVER/UNDER 36.5
This figures to be a very interesting game, The Browns come in limping a little to N.E. where for one of the
few times this Season N.E. is favored. Coach Davis will have his Browns well prepared but Brady and the Pats will continue
to play very well up in Foxboro.
****************************************
NE 24 - Cle. 17
****************************************
FINAL NE 27 - CLE 17 WINNER
Detroit +8.5 at Tampa Bay -8.5
OVER/UNDER 36.5
So in Tampa the talk is the Bucs are right where they want to be -- typical Bucs slow start and finish strong.
Well hold on now, this Buc team was fortunate to sneak out of Cinci with another close victory. Possibly guilty of underestimating Detroit
who has covered now 2 weeks in a row. Revisiting our "Detroits bound to win sooner or later" and we'll take the 8.5 going for three in a row!
The Big 'D' Special!
****************************************
Tampa 20 - Det. 17
****************************************
FINAL Tamp 15 - DET 12 WINNER

Jacksonville at Cincinnati pickem
OVER/UNDER NL
Probably unwise to pick this game as both of these two are basically done and either come out sky high
-- usually the home team in games like this -- or could de completely deflated and simply get routed. After a big Monday night letdown one might think the Jags
would be that team. However despite the 3 - 8 record and all the injuries Coughlin still has his guys playing hard and Brunell has historcally shredded the Bengals secondary.
Thats just too much to pass up.
****************************************
Jacks. 27 - Cinci 21
****************************************
FINAL JAX 14 - CINCI 10 WINNER
New Orleans -2.5 at Atlanta +2.5
OVER/UNDER NL
Another huge game for these two as the winner moves ahead of the other one in the wildcard race. The loser for all intents and purposes will be done.
Atlanta has been doing it with solid Defense and great QB play from Chris Chandler who when he plays always give Atlanta a chance. Micheal Vick starts,
and he will find this is a much tougher Defense than hes seen. While its tempting going against the stats, and Atlanta with points at home. They will give N.O. a fierce battle
but QB Aaron Brooks will find a way to pull it out in the end.
****************************************
New Orl. 33 - Atl. 27
****************************************
FINAL NO 28 - ATL 10 WINNER!!
N.Y. Giants -3.5 at Dallas +3.5
OVER/UNDER 36.5
The Giants come in reeling losers of two in a row and on the verge of playoff elimination.
Dallas comes in off a big victory in Wash. Last time these two met Dallas ran out to a 24 - 7 lead.
Throwing 4 second half picks they let the Giants off the hook that day. New QB Starter scrambling Quincy Carter will give the banged up Giants D fits,
as well as the running of Big RB Hambrick not Emmett Smith, which will Pound the Giants Def. Beside the Giants are 3 - 13 in games after a Bye. and are still struggling to find an offense.
****************************************
Dallas 14 - Gints 12
****************************************
FINAL Dall 20 - NYG 13 WINNER

San Diego +7.5 at Philadelphia -7.5
OVER/UNDER 37.5
Well it looks as though the Flutie Magic has run out in San Diego. The Chargers are fading fast and are miles from the media darlings they were in September.
The Eagles are for real and after spanking KC on national TV are coming home and getting better each week.
This will be an exhibition game in the second half for Drew Brees and Koy Detmer -- backup QB's
****************************************
Phil. 42 - S.D. 17
****************************************
FINAL PHILLY 24 - SD 14 WINNER
San Francisco +8.5 at St. Louis -8.5
OVER/UNDER 55.5
The premier match up of the season. This game IS all that, and should decide the winner of the NFC west and
maybe even home field. Both will have to lay it on the line and points will be flying. We've been on the Niners all season and
aren't backing down now -- besides the road team has owned this series since it was an all California.
****************************************
Rams 36 - 49ers 31
****************************************
FINAL RAMS 27 - 49ers 14 WINNER/No Cover
Tennessee at Minnesota pickem
OVER/UNDER 43.5
The Vikes were betrayed by a bad blown call last week in Pittsburgh. While the Titans rolled up the Browns in Cleveland.
McNair was back on his game. The Vikes could be without QB Culpepper (but how many times have I been burned by the early week injury reports this year??) -- so I have to figure he plays --
although being his teams leading rusher - over 12 games has exactly this type of effect, Culpepper if he plays, may not finish the game.
The Vikes who still play great in thier dome will have trouble with McNair, George and Co. The Titans are real weak in the secondary however and are very vulnerable to the long ball so Randy Moss could have a huge day too.
We still like the Titans though
****************************************
Tenn. 30 - Minn. 28
****************************************
FINAL MINN 42 - TENN 24 LOSERS

Washington at Arizona EVEN
OVER/UNDER 38.5
Suddenly this is a big game in the NFC East -- aint "parity" great - a few weeks ago we were laughing at the Cards,
and they have now won three in a row, to play the 0-5 winners of 5 in a row Redskins, who were upset at home by the Cowboys.
The Cowboys beat the Skins with Powerfootball -- running running running. The Cards have been winning with the longball.
The Skins have the Defense to contain Plummer with Champ Bailey and Freddie Smoot. But despite the 5 wins in a Row I see the Skins drives stalling and settling for field goals
Plummer to Boston will bite the Skins field goals in the End.
****************************************
Ariz. 21 - Wash. 20
****************************************
FINAL WASH 20 - ARIZONA 10 LOSER
Kansas City +9.5 at Oakland -9.5
OVER/UNDER 44.5
Could KC pull off the big upset on the Road in Oakland.
Wonder what the odds of the Raiders, losing two in a row at home,
long, and slim despite the attractive 10 points -- this is Oakland and these are the
Rayyyddddeeezzzz
****************************************
Oakl. 27 - KC 13
****************************************
FINAL OAKL 28 - KC 26 WINNER/No Cover
N.Y. Jets +4.5 at Pittsburgh -4.5
OVER/UNDER 35.5
Pitts. is a surprising 9-2 because of solid Defense and the power running of Bettis.
While that formula wins games it isnt always pretty and leads to close games, usually decided by a field goal or less,
every now and then they roll it up on someone, I just gotta get on the bus here.
****************************************
Pitts. 23 - Jets 7
****************************************
FINAL PITT 18 - JETS 7 WINNER
Seattle +6.5 @ Denver -6.5
OVER/UNDER 41.5
Denvers unwinding last week due to some bad breaks and tough injury losses catching up to them.
Heres a home game against an improving young Seattle team. A good spot where a quality team rebounds,
solid run blocking and tough Defense will.
****************************************
Denver 31 - Sea. 24
****************************************
FINAL DENV 20 - SEA. 7 WINNER
Indianapolis +4.5 @ Miami -4.5
OVER/UNDER 44.5

Hope
We'll SEE YOU BACK HERE NEXT WEEK!!
The football season is winding down,
and it's time for teams to make a bid for the BCS
(an utterly flawed, asinine system).
I want to look only at teams that are making a run at the post season
from this point on. Also, I'd like to take this opportunity,
(and yes, it is an opportunity to be able to blab at ya'll)
to make a plea for reform in the bowl system.
Let's get something straight - the Doc LOVES the bowl games.
That being said, there are simply way too many of them.
A wise man once said "Six wins does not a bowl team make", and the Doc agrees.
Lets raise the minimum number of wins to seven see what happens.
Hey, if the megacorporation.com bowl in lovely Binghamton, NY ends up without any teams,
than so be it. Lose a few bowl games and I don't think anyone would mind.
Might help restore the luster that used to come with getting selected to go bowlin'.
Just my two cents....
