Bah, we got cheated out of winter weather here.  There's nothing worse than a cold rain to ruin your weekend.  Other NFL game sites, however, will be dealing with snow and cold.

Philadelphia at Dallas (-10.0).  My hatred of the Cowboys is clouding my judgment.  Pick: Eagles, 20-17

Washington at New York Giants (-4.0).  This could be interesting news from the National Weather Service for East Rutherford, NJ --

A chance of rain before 9pm, then a chance of snow showers, mainly between 9pm and midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 25. Breezy, with a west wind between 18 and 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

What's harder to forecast than the weather?  How teams will play in bad weather.  Pick: Redskins, 13-6

Baltimore (-3.0) at Miami.  Miami is a mess.  The Ravens are in disarray.  Here's your Toilet Bowl of the week, compelling only to see if the 'Fins could continue their quest for 0-16.  Pick: Ravens, 27-9

Buffalo at Cleveland (-5.5).  Both teams may be hot right now, but let's face it -- the Browns are the better team.  The heavy snow and 50 MPH winds in the forecast?  That could make things very interesting.  Pick: Browns, 13-10

Green Bay (-8.0) at St. Louis.  Brett Favre's cybernetic implants may seize up in the cold weather.  Pick: Packers, 24-10

Indianapolis (-10.0) at Oakland.  Time for Peyton to toss a long bomb or three into the Black Hole.  Pick: Colts, 30-10

New York Jets at New England (-21.0).  Bad weather notwithstanding (though the feared blizzard probably won't materialize in Foxboro), there's NOBODY in America who's giving the Jets a chance to get within 30 points of winning.  Nobody rational, that is.  However, keep in mind that the line was as high as 27 early last week.  Pick: Patriots, 55-13

Arizona at New Orleans (-3.5).  Two pass-happy offenses = loads of fun in the Superdome!  Pick: Saints, 38-33

Jacksonville at Pittsburgh (-4.0).  Snow and 45 MPH winds?  The forecast: Willie Parker vs. Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew in a run-off.  Pick Jaguars, 17-13

Detroit at San Diego (-10.5).  For all of Norv Turner's faults, the Chargers appear to be coasting toward a division title.  Facing the pathetic Motor City Kitties oughta help.  Pick: Chargers, 27-14

Seattle (-7.0) at Carolina.  Meet Maurice Morris, Seattle's newest rising star.  Pick: Seahawks, 24-10

Atlanta at Tampa Bay (-12.5).  Poor Emmitt Thomas, a class act who deserves better.  Atlanta's new (interim) coach finally gets a long-deserved chance, and he gets saddled with this.  Pick: Buccaneers, 30-10

Tennessee (-3.5) at Kansas City.  As Dr. Seuss says in perhaps his most famous story: The three words that best describe you, are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."  Pick: Titans, 24-10

Chicago at Minnesota (-10.0).  Kyle Orton is the Bears new starting quarterback.  Pass the Maalox.  Pick: Vikings, 30-17
