The Bengals, Texans, Vikings and Washington will watch the Super Bowl at home

Wow. The Chiefs are lookin' mighty tough right now for a team that started 1-5. The last game they lost was October 18! I can't even remember that long ago. The next one will not be easy - the Pats in Foxboro, with the Pats favored by 5 in the opening line.

I watched a bit of that Minnesota/Seattle game. The Vikings really need to get into that new covered stadium. That game had kind of an exciting finish - well, anyway, it was a 1-point game - but the game essentially consisted of neither team having the slightest bit of offense. I'm going to guess that it's not easy to pass and catch a ball when the wind chill is below -20.

Other lines for next week: Carolina by 3, Denver by 5 1/2, Arizona by 7 /12. The Pack just played on Christmas weekend in Arizona, and the Cards won 38-8.
