Buffalo Bills at Philadelphia Eagles
Eddie - The last game of the season can sometimes be tricky because teams want to go out on a good note. I think the Eagles will want this game more.
Fred - Philly’s at home. They get the “W”.
Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins
Eddie - The Bengals have a lot of soul searching to do this off-season and it starts with this game.
Fred - Cincy ends the season on a high note and destroys the Dolphins.
San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns
Eddie - A “bounce-back” game would be appropriate for the Browns. Cleveland needs to win and they will.
Fred - Browns have something to play for and the Niners may not have Shaun Hill at QB. Browns win.
Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers
Eddie - Not only was Kitna wrong about his 10 win prediction but they’ll lose the last game of the season as well.
Fred - Packers make up for their pathetic play last week and crush the Lions.
Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Eddie – I know a lot of the Bucs will be resting but Carolina just can’t seem to get it together.
Fred – Bucs reserves against Panthers starters…hmmm. Since it’s in Tampa, let’s go with the Bucs. Upset pick #1.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans
Eddie – The Jaguars are just too strong and the Texans can’t/won’t be able to match up.
Fred – Jags are also resting their starters. Andre Johnson gets 150+ receiving yards and the Texans win.
Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons
Eddie - It will be important that Atlanta comes out with this win. There will be a lot of players playing for a spot on the 2008 Falcons’ roster.
Fred - Only a 1 point spread in the Falcons favor. Let’s flip and coin and see…it’s heads so Falcons win.
New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears
Eddie – Saints need this more than Chicago does.
Fred – Due to weather conditions the Saints can’t handle, the Bears barely win. Upset pick #2.
St. Louis Rams at Arizona Cardinals
Eddie – I expect a lot of offense in this game especially from Jackson.
Fred – Bulger, S-Jax, Holt and crew run up the score and outscore the Cardinals. Upset pick #3.
Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos
Eddie – Playing for pride in mile high; Watch out Minnesota. You are about to step into a death trap.
Fred - 30th Run defense against the best running offense…wow! Peterson and Taylor run all over the field, but the Denver pass offense also has a great game. Vikings win in an extremely close game.
San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders
Eddie – I imagine Oakland will be playing a lot of different people so that inconsistency will be the cause of the loss.
Fred – JaMarcus gets the start and the Chargers defense has a feast. Chargers win.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens
Eddie - Something is clearly not right with the Ravens and they’ve become extremely unpredictable.
Fred - As I’ve said each week, Ravens S-T-I-N-K! They’ve lost the last 9 games and will lose this one too.
Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets
Eddie - Chiefs win big and big enough where Edwards gets to keep his coaching job. Unfortunately.
Fred - The Chiefs have lost the last 8 games of the season, and since Herm doesn’t deserve a Head Coaching job in the NFL, the Chiefs lose.
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins
Eddie - Redskins are finding their groove and it’ll be just enough to inch into the playoffs.
Fred - The Cowboys have nothing to play for while the Skins do…and the Skins are at home. Easy pick.
Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts
Eddie – The Colts won’t be the same without their superstars playing.
Fred – The Colts starters aren’t playing the entire game so the Titans win.
