-7 over Dallas
At issue is whether the Saints, who have already clinched their division will keep playing hard. Since they can clinch at least a tie for home field advantage through the playoffs with a win here (Minnesota is 11-2 and doesn't play until Sunday night), they will have all of their starters in place and mop up with Dallas.

-6.5 over Cincy (BEST BET)

What's up with the Bengals? These guys only seem capable of beating teams in their own division or really bad teams, and that's about all one has to know about this game. The Chargers have run off 8 straight wins and show no signs of slowing down. They could be poised for another run to the AFC championship game, but they'll have to do so on the road unless the Colts stumble badly.

After losing badly to Minnesota last week (30-10), the Bengals have to go on the road for the second straight week, and this time all the way to the coast. Having lost their last two roadies (the previous one to the Raiders), the Bengals really have their hands full here needing one more win or a Baltimore loss to clinch their division.
