	3 (3)	Vikings	10-2-0	Dear Bett Favre now is not a good time to play like your former self. The other stat to be afraid of AP is only averaging 3.0 yds a game over the last 3 games.

	8 (9)	Eagles	8-4-0	If the Eagles take down the Giants this week, look for Donovan and the Eagles “playoff swagger” to lead them into the playoffs with heads held high.
	9 (10)	Broncos	8-4-0	The Broncos aren’t going anywhere just yet, With an upset in Indy Denver could keep hope alive. (cue Jesse Jackson)
	10 (7)	Cowboys	8-4-0	Its December, its christmas time, its time for presents, its usually when the Cowboys implode, but will history repeat it self?
	11 (6)	Patriots	7-5-0	The almighty Patriots are on the ropes and cannot afford to lose anymore games. Belicheck might be punting the ball on 4th downs with 6 point leads in the future…what do you think?
	12 (15)	Giants	7-5-0	The Giants may have new life, and it all starts with that running game and Brendan Jacobs along with a benching here and a benching there for inspiration!
