They say that all good things must come to an end, and that saying seems to have been coined for this week. It's the last week of the regular season in the NFL. Fear not, though, as the playoffs will run all through the month of January. I took last week's picks competition once again, going 18-9 to Brandi's 16-11, in what was something of a strange week in the NFL. That continues this week, as playoff-bound teams rest their starters and give lesser teams a chance to knock them off. That notwithstanding, here are this week's picks:
(10-5) NY Jets @ St. Louis (7-8)
(2-13) San Francisco @ New England (13-2)
(7-8) Cincinnati @ Philadelphia (13-2)
(8-7) Minnesota @ Washington (5-10)
(7-8) New Orleans @ Carolina (7-8)
(4-11) Miami @ Baltimore (8-7)
(3-12) Cleveland @ Houston (7-8)
(14-1) Pittsburgh @ Buffalo (9-6)
(9-6) Green Bay @ Chicago (5-10)
(6-9) Detroit @ Tennessee (4-11)
(11-4) Atlanta @ Seattle (8-7)
(5-10) Tampa Bay @ Arizona (5-10)
(7-8) Kansas City @ San Diego (11-4)
(12-3) Indianapolis @ Denver (9-6)
(8-7) Jacksonville @ Oakland (5-10)
(6-9) Dallas @ NY Giants (5-10)
All of those games are on Sunday, as the NFL avoids conflict with all the college bowl games on Saturday (New Year's Day) and Monday. Speaking of those bowls, this is the end of the line for college football. USC and Oklahome play in the Orange Bowl on Tuesday for "all the marbles," whatever that means in the current college football atmosphere. I'll have more to say on that topic in the coming days. In the meantime, here are my last college football picks for the year:
(6-5) Alabama vs. Minnesota (6-5) - Music City Bowl
(8-3) Arizona State vs. Purdue (7-4) - Sun Bowl
(11-0) Boise State vs. Louisville (10-1) - Liberty Bowl
(8-3) Miami (FL) vs. Florida (7-4) - Peach Bowl
(9-2) Georgia vs. Wisconsin (9-2) - Outback Bowl
(9-3) Tennessee vs. Texas A&M (7-4) - Cotton Bowl
(8-3) Florida State vs. West Virginia (8-3) - Gator Bowl
(9-2) LSU vs. Iowa (9-2) - Capital One Bowl
(9-2) Michigan vs. Texas (10-1) - Rose Bowl
(8-3) Pittsburgh vs. Utah (11-0) - Fiesta Bowl
(10-2) Virginia Tech vs. Auburn (12-0) - Sugar Bowl
(12-0) USC vs. Oklahoma (12-0) - Orange Bowl
