I haven't looked all that closely at this week's games yet but I like Chicago. They're playing for a playoff spot while houston is playing to try and get to .500.

I likeso many dogs this week its scary. As a matter of fact I can count on one hand how many favorites I like.
Miami, all season long this team has improved. I saw an interview with Farve that told me something is wrong and its not all good. On the other hand Miami is bringing back Pennington and I know they will want to take him home a winner. Revenge factor, teams going in two different directions from early in the season to late in the season. I like Pennington in this game he will surely be hungry and have a very hungry Dolphin team playing right in front of him.

Other teams I think have a shot

KC, Chiefs can go for it on every down and they will. Cinci is a mess while KC is just young with up and coming talent. KC will play for 60 minutes but that is something you can not count on with Cinci.

Seattle, Did you notice how hard the team played for Holmgrin last week ? I believe that Seattle comes out swinging as they are now playing for a different purpose. Winning his last game at home was important but winning this one is as or even more important. The Seahags should come out to play and again I think this AZ team is average at best. Seattle has nothing to lose and AZ has nothing to gain. Seattle may be a dark horse here.

GL, still looking at the games but it appears to me that the dogs may be barking out loud. Hope you win thats always a nice late Christmas gift.

Ya I saw you liked Miami in your post. I like them too. And this could be the game that puts me over the top. Because, I noticed that most of the people I'm up against always pick Pitt,Philly,NYG, & NYJ. Alot of homers since I live in North East PA.

Thanks for your input & BOL to ya Steel

I'll take the Giants. It'snot that they have anything to play for, but Minny is perfectly capable of giving this game away, and the Giants would take that gift.
