Final week picks - with extra pop culture references I hate this week. Who is 'playing' and who really is playing? Will the Pats win again? Will the Eagles get to 500? All this and more on the next episode of SOAP... Patriots @ Giants - Everybody hates perfect, no one really wants the Pats to get there. Except perhaps the Pats themselves, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me. I have thought for a long time that this is the game to give up. But now the Giants are in the Playoffs and can't really improve too much. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. Especially since if you play the starters and one gets hurt you are the dog, and if they don't play then play badly in the playoffs you are the dog too. I will. And I choose -- (points) -- what in the world can that be? (switches picks) I pick the Giants. (Jim texted me just before game time and switched, again, to the Pats) Bengals @ Dolphins - I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe), The Bengals Seahawks @ Falcons - I have never known birds of different species to flock together. The very concept is unimaginable. Why, if that happened, we wouldn't stand a chance! How could we possibly hope to fight them? Seahawks Panthers @ Buccaneers - Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all. Buccaneers Saints @ Bears - A come on everybody take a trip with me, Down the mississippi down to New Orleans. Saints. 49ers @ Browns - What can Browns do for you? Lions @ Packers - Frigo Cheese Heads 100% natural win for the Packers Jaguars @ Texans - Just like Eddie Lawrence, I want the Jaguars. Bills @ Eagles - Eagles, the Bills just give up too many points. Steelers @ Ravens - I'll take the Rothlesburger and Fries thanks. Steelers Chargers @ Raiders - No bunny needed here, the Chargers win this one. Chiefs @ Jets - Here come the Jets,Yeah! And we're gonna beat, Ev'r, last buggin' gang, On the whole buggin' street!
