Life on the Wild Side...(Birthday Edition)

Happy Birthday to me—I have to miss the Patriots game because I am working the scoreboard for a basketball game. Oh well. I guess I will just have to drown my sorrows with some legal fruity mixed drinks later on tonight…

New York Jets (10-6, 6-2 away)
at
New England (12-4, 5-3 home)

The Patriots are too talented and battle-tested to lose at home to a first-year coach whose team over-achieved to get here. Brady will play well and the defense will play even better. Sorry Pennington, Coles, Mangini and co…your impressive season is about to end.

My Pick: Patriots eliminate their AFC East rivals
SAFE PICK

New York Giants (8-8, 5-3 away)
at
Philadelphia (10-6, 5-3 home)

The Giants’ secondary is awful. Jeff Garcia and the reinvigorated Eagles will light the G-men up through the air. And Brian Westbrook will give them trouble all day as well. On the other side of the ball, Brian Dawkins and the Eagles pass defense will shut down Eli Manning with ease. Even if Tiki Barber has another 200 yard rushing game, the Giants will still lose this game…

My Pick: The Giants’ disappointing season comes to an end
SAFE PICK
