SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30
NY Giants at Washington
The Giants still have something to play for in this game, but you couldn't tell by the way they've played the last few weeks. New York has lost six of its last seven, including an embarrassing 30-7 pounding at home against New Orleans last week, to spur a lot of finger-pointing and rumors of coach Tom Coughlin's dismissal. The Saints defense held New York to just 142 total yards and six first downs as the Giants didn't even take a snap in the New Orleans end of the field. Eli Manning, who completed just 9-of-25 for 74 yards and an INT, has been regressing down the stretch. All this makes the Giants a shaky Vegas favorite (-2 1/2) even against the last-place Redskins. At least Washington has shown some late-season resilience with wins over New Orleans and Dallas. The Skins look like a good underdog pick at home according to Dunkel, which has Washington favored straight up by 3 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Washington (+2 1/2). Here are all of this week's games.

Write-ups
Week #17 analysis
Saturday, December 30
Giants (7-8) @ Redskins (5-10) - 6th-seeded Giants were pathetic in home loss to Saints last week, completing one pass in second half; they need this win to make playoffs. Giants beat Redskins 19-3 off bye in Week 5, outgaining Skins 411-164, holding them to 86 passing yards and winning 63% of third down plays. That started Washington on current 3-8 skid; Skins are 3-4 at home, losing last two there-six of their seven home games were decided by four or less pts, or in OT. Giants changed playcallers this week, a panic move this close to end of season.
Sunday, December 31
Bills (7-8) @ Ravens (12-3) - Baltimore needs win to secure first round bye, huge for an older team; they've won three in row, eight of last nine games, with last five wins all by 10+ points. Ravens are 6-1 at home, 4-2 as home favorite, with last three home wins by 14,27,10 pts. Buffalo is 5-3 in last eight games (7-1 vs. spread), with losses by 1,3,1 pts to Colts, Chargers, red-hot Titans- Bills are 5-1 vs. spread as road dog this season. Five of last six Buffalo games went over the total. In last nine games, Ravens outsacked their opponents, 38-5.
Packers (7-8) @ Bears (13-2) - Chicago's last tuneup before playoff are their rivals, who are on three-game win streak, and will know by gametime will know if they have shot at playoffs (oddly, they need Giants to win Saturday). Bears opened season with 26-0 win at Lambeau, outgaining Pack 361-267, forcing three turnovers and running punt back for TD. Pack defense held last two foes without TD on 24 drives, while Bears allowed 27-31-21 pts in last three games, and were dropped pass away on last play to getting upset in Detroit last week. Last four Chicago games went over the total.
Steelers (7-8) @ Bengals (8-7) - Cincy is 0-6 when it allows 24+ points, 8-1 when it doesn't; they allowed 34,24 points in last two games- obscured by botched PAT snap was fact that first Bengal drive started on Denver 5-yard line, and they threw INT, getting fateful game off to dreadful start. Bengals won first meeting 28-20 at Heinz in Week 3, , forcing five turnovers with offset Pitt's 365-246 edge in total yards. Steelers are 5-2 in last seven games, but both losses are to Ravens; they're 2-5 on road this season, with losses by 9,10,3,17,27 pts. Five of last six Bengal games stayed under total.
Lions (2-13) @ Cowboys (9-6) - Dallas has playoff game next week whether they win division or not, so hard to tell if they'll rest guys, although Parcells tries to win preseason games. Cowboys lost last two home games, outscored 65-24; they're 7-4-1 vs. spread as fave this season. Detroit is 0-7 on road (1-6 vs. spread), losing by average score of 28-18. Lions lost last seven games overall (2-5 vs. spread), but last four were all by 10 or less points. Over last three games, Dallas allowed 163.3 rushing yds/game, a weakness Detroit will have trouble exploiting, but next week's opponent won't.
Browns (4-11) @ Texans (5-10) - Houston got first-ever win vs. Colts last week; they're 0-4 vs. spread after win this season, 0-2 as favorite; three of their five wins are by three or less pts. Dorsey gets start for dismal Cleveland squad that lost five of last six games (only win was 31-28 vs. Chiefs, when they rallied from 28-14 deficit to deal KC fatal blow). Big question for Houston offseason is what to do what RB Dayne, who rushed for 429 yards in last four games. Browns are 2-5 on road (3-3 as road dog), but they've allowed 22+ points last six weeks, and appeared to be eager to see season end.
Dolphins (6-9) @ Colts (11-4) - Dungy said he is trying to win this game; Colts can still get bye if they win and Bills upset Ravens later in day. Sliding Indy lost four of last six games after 9-0 start, as porous rush defense (allowed 213.4 yards/game over last five weeks) allows foes to play keepaway from Manning's offense. Miami lost close Monday night game, third loss in last four games, and scored one TD in last two weeks on 25 drives (13 3/outs); they're 0-5 on road vs. AFC teams this season (0-4-1 vs. spread). Last five Miami games stayed under the total.
Jaguars (8-7) @ Chiefs (8-7) - Both sides have to hope Raiders upset Jets, to give winner here hope for playoffs. Chiefs ended three-game skid last week in Oakland; they've won five of last six home games, but are 2-5 vs spread in last seven games overall., scoring three TDs on last 31 drives. Jaguars lost last two games (no takeaways, -5 TO ratio); they're 2-5 on road, despite being favored in five of the seven games (1-0-1 as road dog). Jags will spend all winter ruing sweep by Texans, and loss at Titans when they outgained Tennessee 396-98, but gave up three defensive TDs.
Rams (7-8) @ Vikings (6-9) - St Louis needs Giant loss Saturday to have playoff shot; hard to figure them as road favorite here, even though Vikings lost seven of last nine games (three of last four at home), and got only three first downs in 9-7 loss at Green Bay last Thursday (they had three extra days to prepare for this), with only score by defense. Rams are +19 in TO's in their seven wins, -7 in losses; last week was first time they won this season with less than a +2 TO ration. Hard to gauge Jackson's first start at QB, night start at Lambeau; he looked best on his few long pass attempts.
Panthers (7-8) @ Saints (10-5) - Carolina is 3-4 on road, with losses by 3,3,4,3 points; dog is 6-1 vs spread in those games. New Orleans has #2 spot in NFC locked up, not sure how they'll handle meaningless (for them) game vs. Panther squad that ended 4-game skid last week, and can make playoffs with win here and help. Carolina handed Saints first loss of year in Week 4, 21-18, outrushing Saints 167-63, but NO was on short week after emotional Superdome opener. Weinke still just 2-17 as NFL starter; Panthers won 10-3 in Atlanta last week, but scored only two TDs on last 33 drives.
Raiders (2-13) @ Jets (9-6) - Gang Green gunning for playoff spot, Raiders for pole in Troy Smith Derby; after winning rain-soaked, ugly Monday nighter in Miami, hard to believe that Jets will lose to Raider team that flew cross country for this, especially after facing rival Chiefs last week. Oakland scored zero TD's on 20 drives in last two games, four in last 42 overall, but they have held five of last six foes under 6.0 yds/pass attempt. In Jets' last four losses, they averaged 3.7/4.2/3.6/1.9 yds/pass attempt, so somehow Jets have to get couple big pass plays. Jets are 3-1 as favorite this season.
Falcons (7-8) @ Eagles (9-6) - Philly needs win to clinch NFC East, but they'll play next week either way, while Falcons will know if they got enough help to need this game for a Wild Card slot, so not sure if Reid will rest starters here. Eagles won, covered last four games, scoring 11 TDs on 38 drives; they were underdog in three of the four games. Falcons cracked 150 mark in passing yards once in last six games and are 2-6 in last eight, but they're 4-3 on road, winning last two away games, at Skins, Bucs. Under is 6-1-1 in Atlanta's last eight games.
Seahawks (8-7) @ Buccaneers (4-11) - Seahawks have home playoff game next week, doubt they play any marginally-injured players here, vs Tampa team that looked like NFL offense for first time in weeks with Rattay under center last game and half. Seattle lost last three games, allowing Chargers to drive for winning score in final minute last week, but they clinched division when 49ers lost. Last week was first time in nine weeks Bucs didn't have negative turnover ratio. Seattle is 3-4 on road, with wins by 3,2,3 points. Four of last five Seattle games went over total.
Patriots (11-4) @ Titans (8-7) - Red-hot Tennessee won last six games, covered last seven, now favored vs Patriot team that has home playoff game next week, and could rest Brady and others here, hence Titans being favored. Patriots won five of last six games, with no turnovers in last two games; they're 6-1 on road this season, losing only at Miami. Rookie Young has energized Titan offense that scored 20+ pts in last seven games, after scoring 20+ only twice in first eight games- they also have five picks in last two games. Over is 8-1-1 in last ten Titan games.
49ers (6-9) @ Broncos (9-6) - Denver clinches playoff spot with win; they got lucky last week, avoiding OT when Bengals missed game-tying PAT in final minute, after snap was botched. Broncos converted 11-24 on third down last two weeks, after being 6-24 in Cutler's first two starts, so he is improving. 49ers are 1-4 in last five games, but covered three of last four on road; they allowed 36.3 pg vs AFC this season, with all three games going over total. Last week was first time in two months NFC won a week (2-0) vs AFC foes. Denver covered one of last six tries as the favorite.
Cardinals (5-10) @ Chargers (13-2) - San Diego needs win here to clinch home field thru AFC playoffs, since Raven game will be going on at same time, and Baltimore has tiebreaker over Bolts. Warner gets start for Arizona team that is 4-2 in last six games (5-1 vs spread); they're 0-3 vs AFC this year, losing by 3,13,17 pts. Chargers won last nine games (2-3 vs spread last five); they're 7-0 at home (5-2 as home favorite) with wins by 33,10,14,7 ,7,28,11 pts. There is concern in San Diego for Rivers, who is 18-53 thru air (34.0%) the last two weeks, but as long as he can hand off, Chargers should be OK.Comment

Music City Bowl, Nashville
Kentucky is playing in first bowl since the Mumme era, back in '99, also in Nashville; Clemson lost three of last four games, has to be disappointed not to be in January bowl, so you have pouting favorite, one with superior talent, vs. underdog that is very happy to still be playing. One of Clemson's DBs was suspended for this game and won't play.
Coach Brooks built the Oregon program into prominence and has rewarded Kentucky people for their patience with their first bowl this decade; he is a quality coach whose special teams are usually strong. Kentucky should be healthier after getting worn down during SEC play, winning four of last five games with a depleted OL.
Underdogs won six of last seven Music City Bowls SU; SEC teams are 1-5 in this game, because, usually, it has been a team not thrilled to be bowling in Nashville. Kentucky however, is thrilled to be playing anywhere, especially fairly close to home. This will be fun game to watch. I think over is right way to go.
Sun Bowl, El Paso
20 Missouri players/coaches came down with flu early in week; not sure if this will have effect on this game, but Tiger practices have been disrupted somewhat. This is 12th year in row Pac-10 team is in Sun Bowl; they're 5-6 previous 11 years, winning last two, with underdog 9-2 vs. spread in those eleven games.
Missouri slumped late in season, once their best defensive lineman went down with injury, as teams ran right over and through the Tigers; after 6-0 start, Mizzou went 2-4 rest of way, despite being favored in five of those last six games. Totals in last five Sun Bowls were 60-58-61-50-88; this is usually an entertaining game. Beaver backers have to hope that win at Hawai'i wasn't their team's real bowl game; that and win over USC could have OSU feeling content.
Since 1993, Pac-10 underdogs are 5-0 vs. spread in this game. Oregon State ended USC's long winning streak went to Rose Bowl and ended UCLA's losing streak, so they've been erratic. Riley is former pro coach, Moore is senior QB, and Beavers should run better vs. porous Mizzou defense. The underdog is the right play here.
Liberty Bowl, Memphis
Underdogs covered three of last four Liberty Bowls, with C-USA teams 7-2 SU in last nine. Houston's senior QB also played for his college coach in high school, so they have special bond and this is last time they will be on same squad. Weather can be an issue this time of yr in Memphis, which is why some Liberty Bowls have been low scoring. South Carolina is first SEC team since at least '93 to play in this bowl; presence of Spurrier should definitely help attendance.
Houston won first four games, last six and dropped three in row in between, losing 14-13 at Miami, then losing next week to ULL as 17-pt favorite. Coogs won C-USA title game and this is their ; would expect a better effort in bowl after they lost their bowl game by four TDs last year.
South Carolina is 5-0 as favorite this season, but Houston covered five of last seven as a dog; Gamecocks obviously own class edge, but Kolb is best QB on field, and Cougars figure to be more enthused team. Spurrier has 6-7 bowl record, worse than you'd think. I am leaning towards Houston in this game.
Insight Bowl, Phoenix
Minnesota doesn't belong in a bowl game; in one six-game stretch this season, Gophers went 1-5, losing four games in row, then winning 10-9 against a I-AA team, then losing the next game 44-0. Favorites covered nine of their 11 lined games this season. Minnesota won't beat up on Texas Tech, and Tech loves to score as many points as possible, if they find a weak opponent.
Minnesota likes to run ball, they won last three games and will be enthused to be playing, but their defense ranks 83rd in country, not the kind of defense you need when facing Tech's high-powered passing game. Gophers covered only one of last six games on grass, Tech covered two of last 11 as road favorite. Despite having a veteran OL, Raiders have struggled at times on offense this season, and Leach didn't seem to like this team as much as previous editions.
For first time in several years, Tech doesn't have a senior QB; Leach is 3-3 in bowls. He figures to use this time to get Tech ready for a better 2007, while also sending his 13 senior starters out the right way. Minnesota isn't a good team; they got passed over for one of the other bowls because their fans don't travel well. I think Tech is the right side in this game, despite dogs covering seven of last nine Insight Bowls.
Champs Sports Bowl, Orlando
ACC teams won this bowl the last three years by 30,37,9 points; Purdue made Hawai'i trip over Thanksgiving, so they've been traveling some. Maryland is 2-1 in bowls under Friedgen, routing West Virginia 41-7 in last bowl appearance, three years ago. Both teams should be happy to be here, having gone thru rough times in pervious seasons.
Maryland had crazy season where they were 4-0 in games decided by three or less points, so their overall stats are sketchy because they pulled half of their wins out of fire late in game. But that's a good thing, poise in the clutch. Purdue usually plays high scoring bowls (average total, 58); their offense is strength of team, which means their defense isn't very good.
I'm usually wary of teams that go to Hawai'i at end of season, then go bowling; just kind of takes the edge off the bowl experience. Maryland should have crowd on its side; I think they have the better coach and better defense. Terrapins, to me, are right side in this game.

Meineke Car Care Bowl, Charlotte
Boston College is only team in country to win a bowl game in each of last six years, but the architect of all that, Tom O'Brien (who went to the Naval Academy), is now head coach at NC State. Make no mistake about it, what O'Brien did at BC wasn't easy-this is no football factory. I think BC is due for a downturn with O'Brien's departure, especially to another ACC school, and their bowl streak ends here.
Navy's Paul Johnson was second choice for the NC State job; he has won big at the I-AA level, and should be considered by Alabama for their opening. Navy's starting QB hurt his knee during season, but the backup came on late in year, and one thing about academy schools, they should be less distracted by the bowl hoopla than most college kids.
Alamo Bowl, San Antonio
Texas QB McCoy is banged up, his backup transferred, so Longhorns are very thin under center, with only a walk-on in reserve, all of which suggests a ground attack featuring two-headed tandem of Young/Charles. Even though McCoy has been declared good to go, you have to wonder if he'll be 100%.
Iowa covered one of 11 games this season and lost five of its last six games, dropping last five league games; now they're in hostile territory vs. an angry bunch of Longhorns who need win here to salvage season marred by losses in their last two regular season games. Hawkeyes have a senior QB, a Texan, but their best wins this season are Purdue, Northern Illinois. Their resume has nothing that suggests a strong effort here.
Big 12 teams are 3-7 in last ten Alamo Bowls, and underdogs covered three of last four, but carpet will expose Iowa's lack of speed. It is impossible to endorse Iowa, despite their fine head coach; this is their first December bowl in five years. Home-state crowd will get Longhorns fired up. Texas is right side in this one
Chick-Fil-A Bowl, Atlanta
The old Peach Bowl was saved when the Georgia Dome was built; only once in last seven years was this game won by less than 10 points, with ACC teams taking four of last five. Presence of disappointing Georgia team in this game will sell dome out, but Dawgs had dismal season (by their standards), as injuries took their toll on team that lost to Kentucky and Vanderbilt in same season for first time in 33 years.
Virginia Tech usually has great special teams and a mobile QB; they don't have the mobile QB this year, but they did win last six games and has three senior starters on its OL. Georgia's line has four seniors, but until Stafford played better late in season, it didn't much matter who was blocking.
This game sold out in 24 hours, with two rabid fan bases. Both teams are very well-coached, but Hokies usually make things happen on special teams, while Georgia's special teams aren't up to their usual level, in part due to injury. I am leaning towards Virginia Tech as right side in this game.Comment
