Today's games
By JOANNE KORTH
Published January 1, 2006
Saints (3-12) at Bucs (10-5), 1 p.m., Ch. 13
THE SCOOP: The Bucs can win the NFC South and earn a home playoff game with a victory. But it won't be easy. The Saints have won three straight at Raymond James Stadium since 2002 and will want to finish a discouraging season on a positive note. If Tampa Bay is truly a championship team, it puts away New Orleans in the third quarter.
KORTH'S PICK: Bucs 27, Saints 3
Panthers (10-5) at Falcons (8-7), 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Michael Vick will have all offseason to heal.
KORTH'S PICK: Panthers 21, Falcons 13
Ravens (6-9) at Browns (5-10) 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Hey, this Boller kid's not so bad.
KORTH'S PICK: Ravens 24, Browns 13
Seahawks (13-2) at Packers (3-12) 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Will this be Brett Favre's final game?
KORTH'S PICK: Seahawks 21, Packers 17
Cardinals (5-10) at Colts (13-2) 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Tony Dungy returns to the sideline.
KORTH'S PICK: Colts 24, Cardinals 7
Bengals (11-4) at Chiefs (9-6) 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Cincy wants the No. 3 seed; K.C. wants a wild card.
KORTH'S PICK: Chiefs 24, Bengals 21
Dolphins (8-7) at Patriots (10-5) 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: By next season, this will be a division dogfight.
KORTH'S PICK: Patriots 21, Dolphins 10
Bills (5-10) at Jets (3-12) 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Neither team thought it would end like this.
KORTH'S PICK: Jets 17, Bills 10
Lions (5-10) at Steelers (10-5) 1 p.m.
THE SCOOP: The Steelers are gaining momentum.
KORTH'S PICK: Steelers 31, Lions 6
Titans (4-11) at Jaguars (11-4) 4 p.m., Ch. 10
THE SCOOP: This one means nothing to the Jags.
KORTH'S PICK: Titans 21, Jaguars 18
Texans (2-13) at 49ers (3-12) 4 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Houston clinches the No. 1 overall draft pick with a loss.
KORTH'S PICK: 49ers 13, Houston 10
Bears (11-4) at Vikings (8-7) 4:15 p.m.
THE SCOOP: Nothing at stake, but nasty nonetheless.
KORTH'S PICK: Bears 16, Vikings 12
Redskins (9-6) at Eagles (6-9) 4:15 p.m., Ch. 13 THE SCOOP: Joe Gibbs is back!
