(Rotation #106) Washington +7.5 ?:0071 There probably isn't all that much reason to think that Washington can hang around in this game, knowing that it really looks like it has given up on the season, while the Eagles clearly have a lot to play for with the NFC East title and a Wild Card spot both absolutely up in the air. QB Robert Griffin III looked like he was playing with some passion last week against the New York Giants, but the rest of his teammates, especially in the second half, couldn't say the same. If the Eagles though, can't get the ball in RB LeSean McCoy's hands early and often, this could be a long game which comes right down to the wire, which is more or less what happened the first time these two ran across each other earlier this year. WR DeSean Jackson would love to knock his former mates out of the postseason.

(Rotation #109) Tampa Bay +10.5 ? The Packers were definitely square last week against the Bills, and it ultimately, showed. This week, they're square once again, and the argument could be made that they are squarer now than they were before. No one figures that WR Jordy Nelson, QB Aaron Rodgers, and the gang are capable of putting up two straight stinkers of games offensively, and that's why most are lining up to lay double digits on the road against a bad Tampa Bay team which could still get the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Still, Head Coach Lovie Smith knows what it is like to go against these Packers from his days in the NFC North, and he would love nothing more than to give the fans of Tampa Bay their first home win of the season for Christmas.

(Rotation #117) Kansas City +3 ? The Steelers are always public, and they are going to be even more public this week with their playoff chances arguably hanging in the balance. Winning this game would probably seal the deal, but a loss would leave Pittsburgh needing a win and help in Week 17 to get into the postseason. This is a playoff game for Kansas City, as it would be eliminated with a defeat in this one. QB Alex Smith does a nice job taking care of the football on a regular basis, and he very likely will end up having a strong game against a suspect Pittsburgh defense which has had major problems stopping opposing quarterbacks this year.
