Last week wasn't that great, but it wasn't too bad considering this was 
another week of upsets. Once again, I need to know for sure how the tie-
breakers work in order to choose playoff teams. I know that the team's
head-to-head record is the first. Is the second record against teams
the tied teams have played? I think so, but I need someone else to verify 
this. The Bears lost another one, but at least they played well in the
second half. They should (I repeat, SHOULD) coast through the next few
weeks, up until the Houston game, and maybe even through that since Moon's
out.  No offense to Houston fans, but Carlson isn't Moon.  So since their
schedule is pretty easy up until near the end of the season, (Pittsburgh
and Dallas in two of the last three weeks) I haven't given up on them yet.
But another loss before the Houston game, and I guarantee they are through.
On to the picks!

    I round the scores to the nearest point, and both turned out to be 17.

What's the deal with the Raiders-Broncos game?  I haven't been able to
find a spread or over/under anywhere!  The paper says it's because Elway
is questionable.
