Josh's picks, going in -3:

San Francisco at Seattle
This is tough, but since SF lost to Green Bay at home and Seattle lost on the road, I'll take the Hawks, who are having the worst post-NFC championship hangover season in a while.

Dallas at Atlanta
Wow. This is a tough call. Atlanta won easily in Tampa Bay, while Dallas got smoked at home. But Dallas's problem was the long game, something Vick can't offer. I'll take the Cowboys.

Cleveland at Baltimore
The Ravens looked great in Arrowhead, and with home field and no Frye, I can't see the Browns putting a stop to that.

Miami at Buffalo
Another really tough call. Both these teams played really well last week. Miami did shut out the Pats, but I'll take Buffalo at home in the dead cold of December.

Pittsburgh at Carolina
Delhomme should be back, and if not for the turnovers, the Panthers were competitive last week.

Tampa Bay at Chicago
This is an easier call. Two 90+ yard kickoff returns? That's insane. This team wins on special teams.

Detroit at Green Bay
For the same reason as the Buffalo game, Lambeau is a tough place to win in during December, notably when you're the Lions without Kevin Jones.

NY Jets at Minnesota
Well, which Jets team are we going to get? They did play well against the Bills, but got torched on some huge plays. The Vikings have the safeties to contain the WRs, and the Jets D is poor. I'll take the Vikings.

Houston at New England
Everyone makes fun of Houston, but they did beat Jacksonville, the team that just made Peyton their bitch, twice. Still, I think I'll take the Patriots.

Washington at New Orleans
Fox is calling the Saints America's team. I agree.

Jacksonville at Tennessee
This is a tough call, but the Jags have the personnel to contain Vince Young. They should take it.

Denver at Arizona
I've got to go with them this week. They need to win to have any hope of making the playoffs.

Philadelphia at NY Giants
I do love Burress, but Jeff Garcia is playing inspired football. Watch the Eagles rally around him.

St Louis at Oakland
I don't care.

KC at SD
After seeing the drubbing they gave the Broncos, it's hard not to go with them. And if KC can't win at home, they won't be the Chargers on the road.

Cincinnati at Indianapolis
They are going to go right at tthat run defence, which has as many holes as the PGA tour.
