Five for Friday
We'll be "live chatting" later today. Either 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. eastern. We'll let you know. Be there or be square.
And cast your votes for the NFL's individual award winners like MVP, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, etc. Click here to play.
Broncos at Chargers: It is simply amazing that Chilkoot’s Chargers are alive heading into the final week of the season. Credit the Broncos’ blundering defense, which can’t stop the run, and a late-season surge that, quite frankly, the Chargers should have begun long before now. Anyway, the Broncos can become the first team in NFL history to blow a three-game lead with three games to play. How can it not happen?
Dolphins at Jets: Brett Favre vs. Chad Pennington on the final day of the season. I mean, does it get better than that? A better question, perhaps: How the hell did this happen? This was the last thing the Jets expected when they celebrated their trade for Favre on Aug. 7. But here we are, nearly five months later, and they meet with everything on the line. One more example of why Jets’ fans lead the most tortured lives of any NFL fan outside of Cleveland or Cincinnati.
Cowboys at Iggles: Tony Romo has another chance to prove he’s a big-game quarterback, although there’s a chance the Cowboys could be in shortly before kickoff of this 4:15 p.m. game. Either way, this figures to be a good one, with Donovan McNabb playing perhaps his last game in an Iggles uniform.
Patriots at Bills: The Patriots still might not get in if they win, but it’ll still be interesting to see them try and methodically take apart the Bills on the road. Matt Cassel continues his terrific season, although this could be his last game in a Patriots’ uniform. (We think he’ll be back in New England for one more year, but who knows?)
Lions at Packers: Ok, this game in and of itself will stink. But it’ll be newsworthy nonetheless, because the Lions will become the first team to go 0-16 if they lose.

Chargers over Broncos (Broncos)

You ask of the prospect of a Chargers miraculous playoff berth, How can it not happen? Trust me, there are plenty of ways. But there should be tremendous energy at the Q' (nee Murph') and it will be fun to participate.
Makes me a little nervous that you are picking the Chargers. It seems that frequently whatever you pick the opposite happens. Maybe not this time.
GO FINS! For these reasons: to make the Jets look like idiots (not very hard to do) and
to keep NE out of the playoffs. As I have already explained on Best's
blog despite the greater Orlando metropolitan area (all 2 million or so
of it) being a huge Dolphin area and also contains a huge infestation
of Jets fans, we here are the designated area for Jacksonville Jaguars football
games in the AFC, thus we get to watch that stellar team play at
Baltimore this weekend instead of the game we all want to see Jets vs.
Fins. Thanx NFL!
