| Chicago Bears at Washington Redskins | Fan picks | |||
| The Redskins will be tested here after attending the funeral of fallen teammate Sean Taylor Monday. But now that there is some closure, I think they get back on track and find a way to handle the Bears. Result: Washington Redskins 24, Chicago Bears 16 | ||||

| Oakland Raiders at Green Bay Packers | Fan picks | |||
| The Packers expect Brett Favre to play. So his streak is expected to live. They've also been off for 10 days. The Raiders won at home last week, so they won't be as focused here. The Packers defense will be the key, limiting Justin Fargas. Result: Green Bay Packers 38, Oakland Raiders 7 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions | Fan picks | |||
| The Lions can make their season with a victory here. They also can save it. But they don't have enough defense to stop the Dallas offense. And the Dallas front will be all over Jon Kitna. The Cowboys win big. Result: Dallas Cowboys 28, Detroit Lions 27 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| St. Louis Rams at Cincinnati Bengals | Fan picks | |||
| This should be a high-scoring, fun game to watch. The Rams have been playing better lately, but how focused will they be on the road, in the cold, with nothing to play for? The Bengals will be the more focused team and Carson Palmer will make plays against a secondary without Ty Hill. Result: Cincinnati Bengals 19, St. Louis Rams 10 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills | Fan picks | |||
| Is this where Miami gets its first victory? No. The Bills still have real playoff hopes and a victory here and next week at Cleveland will make them a real player. Trent Edwards makes it happen. Result: Buffalo Bills 38, Miami Dolphins 17 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| San Diego Chargers at Tennessee Titans | Fan picks | |||
| This is a tough spot for San Diego. They come off a road division game and now must go play a team fighting for its playoff life. The Titans will be hard to run on with Albert Haynesworth, and the Chargers don't pass it that well. I like the Titans. Result: Tennessee Titans 17, San Diego Chargers 23 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| NY Giants Giants at Philadelphia Eagles | Fan picks | |||
| The Eagles must have this game to have any real playoff chances. So they are the more motivated team. But that won't apply here. The Giants are better. Eli Manning has a big day. Result: NY Giants Giants 16, Philadelphia Eagles 13 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Carolina Panthers at Jacksonville Jaguars | Fan picks | |||
| The Jaguars are coming off a tough division loss to the Colts. In the past, they haven't played well in spots like this. The Panthers looked good beating San Francisco last week, but this is a big step up. The Jaguars take it easily. Result: Jacksonville Jaguars 37, Carolina Panthers 6 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Houston Texans | Fan picks | |||
| This is a tough spot for the Bucs. It's the second of back-to-back road games for the Bucs, which is tough. The Texans will present quite a challenge, especially with Andre Johnson back and playing well. I'll take the Texans at home. Result: Houston Texans 28, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks | Fan picks | |||
| If the Seahawks win here, they are division champs. The Cardinals got them earlier in the year, but they are hurting at receiver. The Seahawks are getting it going on offense and that will continue here. Result: Seattle Seahawks 42, Arizona Cardinals 21 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Minnesota Vikings at San Francisco 49ers | Fan picks | |||
| This looks like a mismatch on paper. It won't be. The Vikings are playing well, but the 49ers are at home and how much will the Vikings be focused? The pick is the 49ers in an upset. Result: San Francisco 49ers 7, Minnesota Vikings 27 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Cleveland Browns at NY Jets Jets | Fan picks | |||
| This is the second of back-to-back road games for the Browns. You know how I feel about that. Plus, it's another non-division road game. The Jets played well last week against Miami and they will do so here as well. Result: Cleveland Browns 24, NY Jets Jets 18 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos | Fan picks | |||
| These two have been disappointments, and the loser is done. The Broncos were expected to compete for the division title, but they haven't played well. That will change here. They stay alive. Result: Denver Broncos 41, Kansas City Chiefs 7 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots | Fan picks | |||
| This is the game of the week. We have the top-ranked offense (Patriots) against the top-ranked defense in the Steelers. Something has to give. The feeling here is that the offense makes it happen. Can the Steelers keep up? Not likely. But it's close. Result: New England Patriots 34, Pittsburgh Steelers 13 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens | Fan picks | |||
| Can Baltimore play a second consecutive good game against an AFC power? That will be tough to do, especially on the short week. I think they played their Super Bowl against the Pats and the Colts are getting it going. Result: Indianapolis Colts 44, Baltimore Ravens 20 | ||||

| Monday, Dec. 10, 2007 | ||||
| New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons | Fan picks | |||
| The Saints must have this to stay in playoff contention and the Falcons would love to ruin their rival's season. New Orleans blew one last week against Tampa, so that will keep them really focused here. Look for Drew Brees to have a good game against the Atlanta secondary. Result: New Orleans Saints 34, Atlanta Falcons 14 | ||||
