This weekend... tough choices...

Vikes - Saints. (pick=Saints +7.5)
Gotta know who is healthy enough to play to make any sense of this one. I suspect R Williams is back and like the Saints to win with the points but probably lose.

Raider - 'fins (pick=fins +9.5)
Dolphin defense should contain the Raiders. I still can't see a team that lost to Seattle late in the season with a bye-week at stake doing much in the playoffs. Another close game... ...with the Raiders probably winning but not covering. 'fins may pull it out.

Titans - Ravens (pick=Ravens +5.5)
If the Ravens protect the ball and beat the blitz once for a score, they win outright. The Raven fanatic in me says both happen... but reality shows the Ravens have put the ball on the ground way to often and beaten the odds in recent games against the Titans. One of these 4"bye-teams" is gonna come out flat... hopefully its the Titans.

Giants - Eagles (pick=Giants -4.5)
I wish I knew more about the first 2 matchups, particularly the line-play and significant injuries. I'm guessing the Giants dominated the line and that no significant Eagle lineman was missing in the earlier contests... so Giants complete the trifecta.
