December 17, 2005 at 12:00a.m.


Tampa Bay (+ 4 1/2) at New England: Tom Brady and Foxborough over Chris Simms and the warm-weather Bucs as the Patriots secure the AFC East. Although Brady is a little gimpy. PATRIOTS, 19-13
Kansas City (+ 3) at New York Giants: The Giants' run defense had a bad game last week and rarely has two bad games in a row. But middle linebacker Antonio Pierce is out, so make it a shootout. GIANTS, 30-29
Denver (- 9) at Buffalo: The Bills are unraveling. The Broncos aren't. BRONCOS, 27-7
