K-Mart's NFL Picks- Week 14

Game of the Week:

Pittsburgh (9-3) at New England (12-0)- Two close calls in two weeks for the Patriots. This week could be the week that they lose... or they could beat down the Steelers the way they beat down other top teams this year. Anthony Smith has not helped the Steelers out with his guarantee of a win. I can't pick against the Pats.

Patriots 30 Steelers 23

Dud of the Week:

St. Louis (3-9) at Cincinnati (4-8)- Which team is more inept? Well we should know by four pm Sunday. The should be high powered Bungle's offense should have a field day because the Rams defense is second worst in the NFC.

Bengals 38 Rams 24

Chicago (5-7) at Washington (5-7)- The winner of this game can cling onto their playoff hopes. The loser is looking at a high draft choice this year. The Redskins should win, as long as they keep the ball away from Devin Hester. Isn't that always the game plan?

Redskins 24 Bears 20

Carolina (5-7) at Jacksonville (8-4)- The Jaguars nearly pulled off the upset at Indy last week. The Panthers will suffer the same fate this week.

Jaguars 27 Panthers 17

New York Giants (8-4) at Philadelphia (5-7)- The Giants stopped their three game slide with a win over Chicago last week. A.J. “Touchy” Feeley singlehandedly doomed the Eagles by throwing another 4 interceptions- three of them to Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupa. Therefore, Feeley has become the winner of my first weekly “I'm doing my best Rex Grossman impression” award. 7 interceptions in two weeks? Could it be that the Eagles really need Donovan McNabb back?

Giants 34 Eagles 21

Tampa Bay (8-4) at Houston (5-7)- The Buccaneers basically wrapped up their division with that last second win over the Saints last week. The Texans' futility should continue this week.

Buccaneers 20 Texans 7

Miami (0-12) at Buffalo (6-6)- Well the Bills ruined the Redskins tribute to Sean Taylor last week, and while I'm a little pissed at them, I still can't pick against them this week since they're playing the Dolphins. Come on 0-16!

Bills 27 Dolphins 13

Oakland (4-8) at Green Bay (10-2)- Don't look now, but the Raiders are rising from the dredges of the league to mere mediocrity. They have won a full two AFC West games this year, and in the process, have doubled their win total from last year. Don't expect them to win this week though, Brett Favre returns for the Packers who will bounce back after that loss to Dallas last week.

Packers 31 Raiders 17

Dallas (11-1) at Detroit (6-6)- Well Jon Kitna, you'd better find something fast because ten losses is looking much more likely than ten wins this year. Dallas, San Diego, Kansas City and Green Bay... tell me where are those ten wins coming from?

Cowboys 45 Lions 24

San Diego (7-5) at Tennessee (7-5) – The Titans need to win this game to stay in the playoff hunt. A loss and they're gonna need some big help to get in. The Chargers pretty much wrap up the division with a win in this game.

Titans 28 Chargers 24

Minnesota (6-6) at San Francisco (3-9)- Is there a scarier team than the Vikings right now? Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor is a devastating 1-2 punch, and apparently the only way to slow it down is by tearing Peterson's LCL.

Vikings 35 49ers 14

Arizona (6-6) at Seattle (8-4)- The Cardinals had a nice win over Cleveland last week and could make the playoffs if they beat the Seahawks this week. That probably isn't going to happen though.

Seahawks 30 Caridnals 27

Cleveland (7-5) at New York Jets (3-9)- The Jets 40 point explosion last week was a farce. They were playing the worst team in the league. Don't look for their success to be replicated against the worst defense in the league though. The Browns felt like they were jobbed on the final play to Kellen Winslow last week and will come out firing.

Browns 42 Jets 20

Kansas City (4-8) at Denver (5-7)- This is another one of those meaningless games being played this week. I'm going with the Broncos mainly because they're playing at home... and the Chiefs have lost five straight games.

Broncos 27 Chiefs 20

Indianapolis (10-2) at Baltimore (4-8)- The Ravens could make a good case for being snakebitten. On New England's final drive last week, I just got a sense of inevitability as they drove down field and the Ravens began imploding. Look for the Ravens 6 game losing streak to be extended.

Colts 30 Ravens 21

New Orleans (5-7) at Atlanta (3-9)- Wow this is the worst Monday Night Game in recent memory.

Saints 38 Falcons 20
