Josh's picks:
Kansas City at Indianapolis
Indianapolis has experience and won every one of their games at home. They have a *brutal* run defence, but Larry Johnson gets 150 yards against anyone, so that doesn't really matter. Peyton will tear up the Chiefs D on home turf.
Dallas at Seattle
Wow, Seattle beat a terrible Tampa team, but Dallas lost (and gave up 39 points to) an equally terrible Lions team. Tough call. In the end, I think experience will help. Unfortunately, I think that experience lies with the Cowboys. Seattle's top 4 corners are all out, leaving Terry Glenn, Jason Witten and, of course, T.O., to have a field day. Parcells won't show up unprepared, and this is the first time this over-hyped, underperforming team has had its back against the wall. THe 'Hawks are too injured, making even homefield advantage useless.
NY Jets at New England
The prodigy versus the master. Few have been as good as the jets in recent weeks. The Jets have won 4 of 5, and lost to only the Bills. The thing is, the Bills were the only swarming defence they faced. Every other team plays a conservative Man D, which Pennington picks apart. The Patriots won't. I really thought about this, but I absolutely have to take Tom Brady (who is much better than the Bills' Losman) to at least put up an equal performance.
NY Giants at Philadelphia
Is there any team hotter? I was tempted to go with the Tiki Barber train, but get this: all the starters sat out last week's game, and they still beat a good Falcon team. This team is rested, working together, on a roll, at home, and they're facing a mediocre team that stumbled through the back half of the year. I hope you pick the Giants Patrick, because the Eagles are taking this one, and I'm inclined to bet on them in the NFC.
