Atlanta @ Minnesota (-3.5)
WOW Atlanta is REALLY looking good..."clicking on all cylinders", I would have to say that they may be playing the best football in the league right now. They took the lead in the "Wild Card race" Sunday, and every game is still very very important to them. Minnesota's season is pretty much over, and they have so many problems internally. They have actually played decent 2 or 3 times this year, and they DO have a lot of talent, but they can't seem to string together successive good games, so I look for a one sided affair here, even though traditionally the Vikings play well in their very loud dome. It's not so loud when people don't show up though!
Tampa (-1) @ New Orleans
Tampa's goal at this time is to secure the very best record in the league by Week 16, so that they do not face a must win situation in the Cold weather in Chicago in week 17. New Orleans, after starting off looking great, has looked poor the last couple of weeks, and has some banged up players, mainly, Deuce mccallister (ankle) and Donte Stallworth (hamstring). Both will play, but Tampa's defense has been unbeleivable lately. Tampa has the best record in the league, they are healthy, they are motivated, and they play a team that embarrassed them in their home the first week of the year. Tampa does not have the most explosive offense in the league (by far!) but New Orleans defense is not strong. I think Tampa wins this one by 10!
