As predicted, we split our four games we had different last week—Andy hit on Philadelphia and Oakland, while I hit on Detroit and San Francisco, so we both finished a disappointing 10-6 for the week.

That leaves us one game apart heading into the final week, with Andy at 160-80 and myself at 159-81.  And, of course, we have four games separating us again this week, with Andy believing that the Bears, Lions, Chiefs and Ravens will win, while I think the Vikings will find a way to screw up their season even worse, Green Bay will still pull out a win, the NFL will find a way for Tebowmania to continue, and the Ravens will choke again down the stretch.

Game of the Week: Dallas @ NY Giants: Sunday night, head to head, winner wins the division, loser goes home. One of the most popular (and reviled) teams in the country vesus the still dominant team in the largest media market in the world. The kind of game that NBC executives have wet dreams about.

Game of the Weak: Dallas @ NY Giants: It may be what NBC executives dream about, and it may end up being a competitive game, but not because either team is any good.  These are two teams that, if not for the ineptitude of Mike Shanahan & the Philadelphia Eagles would already have played themselves out of the playoff pictures.
