LOCK: PITTSBURGH (PK) over Oakland: No spread?! This is a must-win game for the Steelers after their Monday night loss to the rival Ravens. In order to remain in strong playoff contention, the Steelers need to win most, if not all of their remaining games, and a loss to the lowly Raiders would be irreparable.

San Diego (-13.0) over CLEVELAND: The Chargers are on a tear, and they’re trying to distance themselves from the Broncos for AFC West supremacy. Cleveland is 1-10, a thoroughly embarrassing mess of a football team. But a 1-10 team has to pull out a win at some point, right? Better not be this week.

Philadelphia (-5.5) over ATLANTA: I almost went with Giants over Cowboys, but I wimped out. Atlanta won’t have Matt Ryan and might be without Michael Turner, so expect the Eagles to push the tempo, even without concussed DeSean Jackson and Brian Westbrook.

Minnesota (PK) over ARIZONA: Risky one here, but Arizona’s 29th-ranked pass defense will have to have a ridiculous day to slow down Brett Favre. Adrian Peterson should find his way around the run defense, and even if Kurt Warner plays and puts up big numbers, I don’t think they’ll be as big as the Vikings’ numbers.
