What a ridiculous spate of games this weekend. If I'd bet, I would have won a single one of the four. Damn Packers...they stink. What a great shame the NFC will prove to be if it's Vikings-Rams in two weeks. Two 8-8 teams making it to the finals. It's not that unlikely, considering the Falcons' dependence on one player and the Eagles lack of a big-play man.

Before the spreads come out, these are my early picks for next week's outright victors:

Falcons 35, Rams 31
Eagles 30, Vikings 27
Colts 20, Pats 17
Steelers 17, Jets 14

Mark my words - I'll be wrong on at least two of these.
