Not much to pick this week, since many of the seasons are ending. Here's a few:
Packers 31, Lions 17. I'm less optimistic than my son about this (see http://www.fearlessben.blogspot.com/ for his take), but I think the Packers are the better team. John Kitna is a brave dude, but in the end I don't see his side winning this one. The showdown against the Cowboys awaits....
ACTUAL RESULT: PACKERS 37, LIONS 26. Calvin Johnson would be dangerous if he actually caught the ball. Nice win if a little sloppy at the end. Now it's time for yet another daunting trip to Irving, Texas.
New York Football Giants 24, Purple Helmeted Love Warriors 17. The Vikes won't win, but at least it won't be 41-Donut. I hope, at least.
ACTUAL RESULT: SEA-FARING MIDNIGHT SHADE OF LAVENDER DUDES 41, NEW JERSEY DWARFS 17. Didn't see that one coming; did you? Nice game for the locals, who improbably are back in the playoff hunt. Next week's game against the Lions will likely tell the tale.
Bonus Minnesota High School Football Game of the Century, 2007 Edition:
Eden Prairie 31, Cretin-Derham Hall 20. Which would you rather have - half a dozen Div-I prospects (like Cretin) or the high school football equivalent of the Russian Army? Eden Prairie has about 4,725 kids on their team and they will eventually wear down the Raiders, just like they have done to everyone else.
ACTUAL RESULT: EP 50, CDH 21. What a rout. Cretin has been laying waste to everyone in its path, but they get crushed. An astonishing result that really calls into question the priorites of those who live in Eden Prairie.
