It's the final week of the regular season, and it's Christmas week! Awesome combo. Anyway, on to last week's results.
- Indianapolis 31 (-6), Jacksonville 24 (44 O/U)
- Baltimore 33, Dallas 24 (-4) (39.5 O/U)
- Cincinnati 14, Cleveland 0 (-3) (32 O/U)
- New Orleans 42 (-7), Detroit 7 (50.5 O/U)
- Miami 38 (-4), Kansas City 31 (40 O/U)

- San Francisco 17, St. Louis 16 (-5.5) (43.5 O/U)
- Pittsburgh 14 (-2), Tennessee 31 (34.5 O/U): I wonder if either team held back anything in anticipation of a playoff re-match?
- Philadelphia 3 (-5), Washington 10 (38.5 O/U)

Results Summary

- Over/Under (this week / season): 11 - 5 / 124 - 109
And now it's time for the last regular season picks for the season!
- St. Louis* vs. Atlanta (-14) (44.5 O/U)
- Jacksonville* vs. Baltimore (-12.5) (37.5 O/U)
- New England (-6) vs. Buffalo (40 O/U)
- Kansas City vs. Cincinnati (-3) (38.5 O/U): How many people care about this game?
- Detroit* vs. Green Bay (-10.5) (43 O/U): A meaningless game, that could be historic (at least for Detroit)
- Chicago vs. Houston (-2.5) (46.5 O/U)
- Tennessee (-3) vs. Indianapolis (38.5 O/U): This could be another preview of a playoff match up. If I were Indy, I think I'd hold some of the playbook back so Tennessee doesn't get to see everything first hand.
- New York Giants* vs. Minnesota (-7) (42 O/U)
- Carolina (-2.5) vs. New Orleans (51.5 O/U)
- Miami vs. New York Jets (-2.5) (42 O/U)
- Dallas vs. Philadelphia (-1.5) (42.5 O/U)
- Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh (-11) (34 O/U)
- Oakland* vs. Tampa Bay (-13) (39.5 O/U)
- Seattle vs. Arizona (-7) (45.5 O/U)
- Denver vs. San Diego (-8) (50.5 O/U)
- Washington vs. San Francisco (-3) (37.5 O/U)
Should be a good week. Playoff match ups will be finalized by Sunday night, and then the real season starts!
