Top Pick
1. Dallas Cowboys vs. TB – The Cowboys may be reeling after losing two heartbreaking games, but the Bucs are a mess. They’re 4-9 and HC Raheem Morris is likely on his way out. The team is dysfunctional and has regressed tremendously on both offense and defense.
Look for Dallas to head into Tampa and roll the Bucs thoroughly to keep their Playoff hopes alive.
Next
2. Arizona Cardinals vs. Cle – The Browns have been especially bad on the road and head into the desert uncertain whether QB Colt McCoy will play (concussion). Even if he does, the Cardinals are tough in their home park and playing to keep their slim Playoff hopes alive.
They’ll rout the Browns and easily cover the point spread (-6.5).
3. New Orleans Saints vs. Min – The Saints have added incentive to keep winning now that they’ve tied the 49ers at 10-3 for the No. 2 seed in the NFC. The Niners have a tough Monday Night match-up vs. the Steelers while the Saints have three winnable games.
However, there’s no question on this one; Drew Brees will help avoid the trap game and come up huge in Minnesota on Sunday.

I like Arizona here. By this time most folks have already used Dallas. There are 5 of us left in my pool. I hope the other 4 will pick the Giants. Picking the Giants has killed more people in our pool than any other team. Nice. Very nice. Cinci is probably a good pick, but I hate to pick a road team. I just have a bad feeling about this one.
