Jacksonville Jaguars
(7-9)
at
Cleveland Browns
(5-11)
In the past three weeks, Cleveland has won three games; Minnesota and New Orleans have combined to win two. And I still think the odds are against Eric Mangini keeping his job when he pow-wows with Mike Holmgren early next week.

Chicago Bears
(7-9)
at
Detroit Lions
(2-14)
In the 1994 and 1995 seasons, Erik Kramer and Steve Walsh combined to throw 1,023 passes for the Bears with 26 interceptions. This year, throwing 522 passes, Jay Cutler has 26 interceptions. I think that's a little bit more than a quirky stat.

Mike Tomlin rises at dawn in his Fort Lauderdale hotel Sunday morning, walks into the bathroom, looks in the mirror and says, "Eleven months ago, I'm waking up in a hotel room in Florida on a Sunday morning, putting the final touches on a Super Bowl game plan. Today I'm waking up in a hotel room in Florida, putting the final touches on a game plan to win a game so that we'll have prayer of being the last wild-card team. A prayer. What happened?''

One team you can count on giving an October effort this weekend-despite being out of the playoffs is Atlanta, playing to earn the first back-to-back winning seasons in franchise history. I don't think we can overplay what a strange, strange factoid that is in the Falcons' 44th season of existence.

I want to see the Saints turn it around. I really do. It'd be good for football, good for the postseason. But did you see the Panthers last week? No matter who runs the ball for this team, they're a powerhouse right now, and they'll play that way even though they've got nothing on the line. That's the way they've been brought up in the John Fox system.
