This is the week where we will see whether momentum rears its ugly head or if resting your players to get them healthy for a playoff run is truly worth it. The teams coming off of wins all played exceptionally well last week, except of course for ‘Zona’s defense, and will be carrying that momentum into foreign stadiums. The teams that should be most concerned with their lack of momentum are both #1 seeds, as Indianapolis decided to shut it down two weeks before the end of the season even though they were on the verge of becoming only the second team to ever finish the 16-game regular season undefeated. The Saints didn’t take that route and instead gave everything they had to try and finish undefeated, only to be stunned by the Cowboys at home and then suffered an inexplicable loss to the Buccaneers in the Superdome before completely giving up on their final game and not even attempting to play many of their key players.

I am a big fan of the intro section because it gives me time to warm my readers up for the meat of the column, maybe drop a joke or two or simply grease the wheels before just throwing stuff out there. But I’ve had a long week, so no intro for you. Sometimes the intro is the best part of my posts, so I know there are some of you craving more, and I will gladly satisfy that request a little later as I am also preparing a post about my boy Jay Cutler (he’s awesome). So, without further adieu, here are the games of the week and my upset pick.
