This NFL season has come down to six weeks for the Miami Dolphins.
Hard to believe that there's really only six games left. This season has gone by faster than any season I can ever remember. But don't get sad JUST YET! We still have PLENTY of football left, folks.
Let's just hope it extends into January.
To the picks.
Last weeks record: 11-3
Overall record: 95-57
Pittsburgh @ Cleveland: Give credit to the Browns, they just won't seem to go away this year. Despite losing not one, but two quarterbacks, Cleveland has remained in the AFC wildcard race. However, I think that ends tomorrow. Give me Big Ben and the Steelers on the road.
Tampa Bay @ Detroit: They're talking Super Bowl in Tampa!!! Two straight wins, and strong play from rookie QB Mike Glennon may have temporarily saved Greg Schiano's job... Until it all comes crumbling back down tomorrow. Give me the Lions at home.
Minnesota @ Green Bay: Yikes. Christian Ponder vs. Scott Tolzien doesn't exactly jump off the page, does it? This one will come down to who wants it more, and who still has something left to play for. I like the Packers in both those situations.
Jacksonville @ Houston: Still don't quite understand why Gary Kubiak benched Case Keenum last week...at home...only to bring fan favorite Matt Shaub back in...and still lose. Case will be back this week, and he'll put the Texans in the win column.
N.Y. Jets @ Baltimore: Well, Geno Smith can't possibly have a worse game, can he? That Jets defense will keep them in it, especially against an inept offense like Baltimore's, but in the end, how can you pick New York? Give me the Ravens.
San Diego @ Kansas City: Both teams coming off frustrating losses here. I like that Kansas City defense to shut down Philip Rivers through the air, and put him on his back in the pocket. Could be a long day for the Alabamian. Give me the Chiefs.
Chicago @ St. Louis: Who would have thought two months ago that this matchup would feature Kellen Clemons against Josh McCown? That St. Louis defense is good, and headed in the right direction, however, Chicago just has too much to play for here. Give me the Bears in a close one.
Indianapolis @ Arizona: This is a good game, folks. You wouldn't think it at first, but many don't realize how sneaky good these Cardinals are. In-fact, I think they'll set out tomorrow just to prove how good they are. I like Arizona here, especially against an Indianapolis team without Reggie Wayne. Cardinals in a good one.
Tennessee @ Oakland: The winner remains in the wild card hunt. The loser is just about dead. Give me the Raiders to pull it off at home.
Dallas @ N.Y. Giants: The Giants are hot right now, and have pulled right back into the NFC East chase. Dallas is coming off a bye, and they needed it after that beat down in New Orleans. So who wins? I have no earthly idea. I'm a Cowboys softy, so I'll go with them. But I'm not confident.
Denver @ New England: The thing that concerns me here is the weather. Game time temperatures will be in the teens tomorrow night, with winds around 25 MPH. That's terrifying. Historically Tom Brady owns Peyton Manning in these conditions. HOWEVER, I think this is a different Peyton Manning this season, and I like the Broncos to find a way to get it done on Sunday night. Gulp.
San Francisco @ Washington: The Redskins are terrible. They shouldn't be, but they are. RGIII is being questioned, Mike Shanahan is being questioned, the secondary is abysmal. Not good. 49ers get it done.
Big time game tomorrow, folks. Pre-game coverage starts in the morning, live blog starts in the afternoon.
See you then!
GO FINS
