An Early Stocking Stuffer (or two)

It’s the stretch run and I’m slumping again…I guess I just place too much confidence in the better-than-average-team’s ability to beat teams that are more talented than they are when they have more on the line…cough…Bengals and Chiefs…cough…
Anyway, let’s put all that behind us and get this holiday weekend started off right…

Minnesota (6-8, 3-4 away)
at
Green Bay (6-8, 2-5 home)

Someway, somehow, Green Bay still has a shot at a playoff berth. A lot would have to go their way for it to happen but they have a shot…and what about the Vikes, who also have a shot at being 8-8? Well, their pass defense is inconsistent and their passing game stinks. Despite Green Bay’s confounding struggles at Lambeau this season, I’ll go with Favre in what could possibly be his last home game.

My Pick: Favre wows the home crowd and keeps his team’s playoff hopes alive
SAFE PICK

And the Christmas Eve Eve game…

Kansas City (7-7, 2-5 away)
at
Oakland (2-12, 2-5 home)

If the Chiefs don’t win this game, it would be embarrassing. I’m a little worried though because they haven’t shown a pulse since that OT loss in Cleveland.

My Pick: Chiefs keep their slim playoff hopes alive
