THE HOT TICKETS
Chargers (8-5) at Colts (13-0)
1 p.m., Ch. 10
THE SCOOP: Now that Indy has clinched homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, the only thing left to play for in the final three weeks of the regular season is perfection. It's a high-minded goal, whereas San Diego's need is more dire. After losing at home to the Dolphins last weekend, the Chargers must win to keep pace in the AFC wild-card race. Then again, it's possible the Colts are just too good.
KORTH'S PICK: Colts 27, Chargers 17
Falcons (8-5) at Bears (9-4)8:30 p.m., ESPN
THE SCOOP: Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has taken a pounding this season, and he'll get no sympathy from the Bears' front four. With Atlanta fighting for the final playoff spot in the NFC, the ailing Vick will need running backs Warrick Dunn and T.J. Duckett to carry the load in the cold. Chicago's top-ranked defense knows that, too. Bears quarterback Kyle Orton can be a hero with one touchdown drive.
KORTH'S PICK: Bears 13, Falcons 10
