Well did anyone watch the San Fran / Denver game? I did late in the game. There were some strange calls there towards the end with the challenges. But outside of that what an exciting game. San Fran wins in OT.
But last night, Denver didn't just lose their final game and playoff spot. Darrent Williams was gunned down, corner back for the Broncos was killed. Williams just 24 years old, and just finished his second season with the Broncos.

Da Bears, I understand they didn't need that win, but you could at least try a little. Oh, and if that was a try, what a sorry bunch of misfits. I don't care what excuses there are, you do NOT go into the playoffs like that. Chicago, probably 1 game left. bla bla bla...
The Chiefs, wow, two weeks ago I said they had a slim to nothing chance of making it. WELL they did! They needed help and they got it.Next week:
Chiefs @ Colts
Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET on NBC
I take the Chiefs just because, I like their running game. This converts to clock management. Colts haven't seemed to worry about the run all season, allowing tons of yards. Dungy is a good coach, and likes to appear in the playoffs, but that is about as far as it goes.
Cowboys @ Seahawks
Saturday, 8 p.m. ET on NBC
Neither team is blasting into the playoffs. But I like the Cowboys in this game. I am counting on Parcells to have the Cowboys prepared.
Jets @ Patriots
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET on CBS
I like the Patriots at home, and this ain't their first rodeo. They have not only been to 3 of the last 5 Super Bowls, but also won 3 of the last 5 Super Bowls. Winning each by only 3 points.
Giants @ Eagles
Sunday, 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX
I'll take Philly in this one. They appear to be on a roll.... Let's see if they can ride this one out...
Special Mention:
Goes out to the Oakland Raiders for wrapping up the first overall pick of the 2007 draft. Maybe Quinn will come on board. None the less they were in a Super Bowl just 4 years ago, let's get it "back" together. Art Shell needs a little more time.
See ya in a week...
