I went 3-3 on the picks last week. Green Bay did not do as well as I hoped in Dallas, Cleveland lost a close game in The Desert, and the Lions have failed me for the last time. Here are my important games for next week other than Pittsburgh and New England, which I discussed in my recap article. These are not necessarily the 5 best games, but the 5 games that I feel will be the most influential in shaping the various divisions:
Chicago (5-7) at Washington (5-7)
An elimination game for two teams that were basically eliminated with losses last week. With so many teams jumbled together teams are going to find it difficult to make up 2 game deficits when that includes jumping over 6 or 7 teams. This is a tough spot for Washington. They just had an emotional week with the death of Sean Taylor. hey lost an emotional game at home to Buffalo. They attended a funeral on Monday and now have to get ready to play a Thursday night game. Chicago has not been able to string together consecutive wins this season. Since Week 4 Chicago has alternated wins and losses. If the pattern holds true, this is their week to win. I look for Chicago to win a low scoring game and keep their faint playoff hopes alive. Winner: Chicago.
