Manwich Matchup of the Week
Denver @ Philly - Wow. The Broncos are in real trouble. The Eagles still have a lot to play for as they have yet to lock up the division. I'm hoping the Broncos and Ravens lose this week so we can receive a multitude of playoff scenarios. My favorite season for playoff scenarios was in 2002. Many teams were still alive, and while the Browns ended up advancing that year, the insanity was fantastic.
Pick: Philly
Upset of the Week
Jets @ Indy - Indy doesn't want to be undefeated.
Pick: Jets
Opening Round Playoff Game #16
Teams that have been eliminated: Cincy (against Denver in week 1)!, St. Louis, Washington, Buffalo (twice), Jacksonville, Tampa, Oakland, Detroit, San Fran, Atlanta (twice), Pittsburgh, Giants, and now Miami:
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh - Just like a month ago... it's another playoff game between these two! If Baltimore or Denver loses, that would open the door for one of the SIX 7-7 teams in the AFC (Miami, Jets, Pitt, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Houston).
Pick: Baltimore
Opening Round Playoff Game #17
Houston @ Miami - Both teams are 7-7. Miami already lost last week... so something tells me they will rebound this week.
Pick: Miami
Fantasy Football Game of Interest
Jacksonville @ New England - Maurice Jones-Drew and Tom Brady and Randy Moss and Wes Welker could all swing a fantasy championship game.
Pick: New England
Other Games
San Diego @ Tennessee - I'm not sure why the Titans are favored. I think the Chargers still need another win to lock up a bye, right? But I suppose desperation is supposed to trump all else?
Pick: San Diego
Seattle @ Green Bay - Aww.. how fitting, Holmgren's former teams are playing each other the same week that he became President Mustard of the Browns.
Pick: Green Bay
Oak @ Cleveland - All I have to say is that Holmgren, or any other person for that matter in the NFL, does not need a TEN year contract! Browns owner Randy Lerner likes to spend money. In other news, the Browns will probably have 3 coaches and 3 GMs on the payroll next year. Pick: Oakland
KC @ Cincy - Pick: Cincy
Buff @ ATL - Pick: ATL
CAR @ Giants - Pick: Giants
TB @ New Orleans - Pick: New Orleans
St. Louis @ Arizona - Pick: Arizona
Detroit @ San Fran - Pick: San Fran
Dallas @ Washington - Something tells me the Cowboys are going to party all week after beating the Saints... and then lose to the Redskins! Pick: Washington
Minnesota @ Chicago - Pick: da Bears
Last Week: 10-6
Season: 145-79
Manwich: 8-7 (Chargers won)
Upset of the Week: 7-8 (The Cowboys knocked off the undefeated Saints in a shocker)
NBA games of the Week-
last week's "Games of the Week" - The Blazers knocked off the Suns after being down 15 points thanks in part to Jerryd Bayless' career-high 29 off the bench; The Rockets beat the Mavs in OT after Dirk got injured and Houston played PGs Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry together and got 25 and 26 points respectively; The Mavs beat the Cavs w/o Dirk thanks to Tim Thomas getting 22 points; The next night the Cavs became the first team to beat the Suns behind Mo Williams' 24 and LeBron's 29.
Random Absurd Moment of the Week-
The Bulls were up 79-44 in the 3rd quarter and lost to the Sacramento Kings... yes the Bulls blew a 35-point game... in only 21 minutes!

Washington and the Bears just aren't good enough to beat decent teams.
I'm going with Houston. Andre Johnson is on fire. Or something....I need some sort of reason.
I'll also stick with Indy. They're going undefeated....
It's the end of the NFL season, so I decided to pick a lot of underdogs. We'll see how dumb that was come sunday.
