Weekend NFL Picks

Only a few more hours... Washington (+2.5) at Tampa Bay: Chris Simms has no shot against the Redskins defense. Mark Brunell will take care of the ball and Clinton Portis will have a four touchdown afternoon. Washington-34, Tampa Bay-13. Jacksonville (+8) at New England: Michael J. Fox' basketball coach in Teen Wolf can add another rule to his talk on life: Tom Brady always wins in the playoffs. Fred Taylor will leave with an injury before halftime. New England-27, Jacksonville-10. Carolina (+2.5) at New York: The G-Men will not lose unless they put this game in the hands of Eli Manning. This needs to be a Tiki Barber showcase and I think that's what Tom Coughlin is going to do. New York-20, Carolina-6. Pittsburgh (-3) at Cincinnati: I loved the Steelers in this game until I found out they were the favorites. The Bengals may be inexperienced but they aren't going to crumble at home. Cincinnati-44, Pittsburgh-27.
