Lock: SEATTLE (-7) over Arizona: For this week’s picks, likely my final ever, I’ve decided to use the current box office hits to help me explain my reasoning (keep in mind, I have no idea what these movies are about). ‘Fred Claus’ ‘ Fred is the not-as-successful younger brother of St. Nick. Arizona is the not as successful lesser team in the NFC West. The similarities are eerie.

JACKSONVILLE (-10.5) over Carolina: ‘No Country for Old Men’ ‘ Jacksonville is no place for 200-year-old Panther quarterback Vinny Testaverde to try to continue his comeback. It’s really humid and he’ll get tired easily, plus there are a lot of alligators and he’s no longer quick enough to outrun the beasts.

Tampa Bay (-3) over HOUSTON: ‘The Mist’ ‘ Like the main enemy in this new Stephen King thriller, Tampa Bay’s defense is made up of creatures lurking in the thick humid mist of Houston. If I’m Matt Schaub, I’m very afraid.

Cleveland (+3.5) over JETS: ‘The Golden Compass’ ‘ Even this magical tool couldn’t help Eric Mangini find a way to save this season. The Jets might battle hard, though, because they seem like they are actively trying not to get a good draft pick.
