CHALKS & amp; DOGS PRO PICKS

Today
Denver (plus 9) at San Diego: Not a misprint. The Broncos will rest people and Marty Schottenheimer says he'll play everyone because he wants a 10-win season -- playoffs or not. CHARGERS, 32-11
New York Giants (minus 8) at Oakland: The Giants need a win to take the NFC East. They are battered at linebacker and Kerry Collins wants revenge. But Collins is prone to turnovers under pressure and New York's DEs have combined for 24 sacks. GIANTS, 31-17
Sunday
Baltimore (-3) at Cleveland: Brian Billick's job is safe. Kyle Boller's might also be if he keeps playing well. RAVENS, 23-10
Detroit (+14) at Pittsburgh: Steelers make playoffs with a win. No chance for the Lions. STEELERS 41-3.
Carolina (-4) at Atlanta: The Panthers need this to ensure a playoff spot. But they are 1-9 lifetime at the Georgia Dome, so this will probably be close. PANTHERS, 23-20
New Orleans (+14) at Tampa Bay: A win by the Bucs gives them the NFC South. A loss by the Saints could give them Reggie Bush, consolation for a miserable season on all fronts. BUCS, 28-3
Washington (-7) at Philadelphia: Washington's motivation is a playoff berth. Philly wants to keep a division rival from making the postseason. REDSKINS, 27-21
Cincinnati (+7) at Kansas City: Carson Palmer says he'll play, but this means little to the Bengals, the Chiefs are 6-1 at home and motivated by having a crack at a playoff spot. CHIEFS, 31-20
St. Louis (+12) at Dallas: If the Cowboys are still alive for this Sunday night game, they could win big. If they're not, who knows? Results above say "not." COWBOYS, 12-11
Miami (+3) at New England: Bill Belichick doesn't play to lose. PATRIOTS, 23-20
Arizona (+6) at Indianapolis: The Colts don't want to begin their Super Bowl run with three straight losses. COLTS, 20-17
Seattle (+3) at Green Bay: A 3-12 team favored over one that's 13-2? The oddsmakers figure the Seahawks are resting. PACKERS, 20-19
Chicago (+3) at Minnesota: Motivation for the Bears in beating a division rival. BEARS, 20-7
Tennessee (+3) at Jacksonville: Rivalry game even with Jaguars already locked in. JAGUARS, 19-10
Buffalo (-1) at New York Jets: Bills finish on a roll. With mustard. BILLS, 21-5
XLast week: 7-8-1 (spread) 10-6 (straight up); Season: 111-124-5 (spread) 165-75 (straight up).
