DULAC'S MARK

Last week: 13-3 (.813)
Season record: 125-83 (.600)

---

GAME: Cincinnati Bengals (5-8) at San Francisco 49ers (3-10), 8 p.m., Saturday

THE SKINNY: The Bengals can beat up on the likes on the Rams and 49ers. Wait a minute, they might struggle on the road against the 49ers. Not.

PREDICTION: Bengals, 20-10

---

GAME: Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4) at Steelers (9-4), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: The Steelers like to face teams that rely predominantly on the run, even without Aaron Smith. After all, the Jaguars can't possibly run past them as fast as the Patriots did.

PREDICTION: Steelers, 23-16

---

GAME: Buffalo Bills (7-6) at Cleveland Browns (8-5), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: The Bills just aren't going away, patched-up defense and all. Neither are the Browns, who have come up with more bizarre endings than Jerry Bruckheimer.

PREDICTION: Browns, 30-20

---

GAME: Baltimore Ravens (4-9) at Miami Dolphins (0-13), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: Need any more proof how bad the Ravens have slipped? But, just in case, the winless Dolphins might provide the ultimate humiliation.

PREDICTION: Dolphins, 17-16

---

GAME: Green Bay Packers (11-2) at St. Louis Rams (3-10), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: Still not convinced the Packers aren't the best team in the NFC, Dallas included. Unless, of course, the opponents are laying down for the Brett Favre Farewell Tour.

PREDICTION: Packers, 31-17

---

GAME: Arizona Cardinals (6-7) at New Orleans Saints (6-7), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: The loser might jeopardize some wild-card playoff hopes. The Cardinals have been hampered with injuries. The Saints don't have any such excuse.

PREDICTION: Cardinals, 28-27

---

GAME: Tennessee Titans (7-6) at Kansas City Chiefs (4-9), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: The Titans Tumble continues (1-4 in past 5) after letting San Diego off the hook. But they still have enough to get past the Chiefs, who have lost six in a row.

PREDICTION: Titans, 20-12

---

GAME: New York Jets (3-10) at New England Patriots (13-0), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: It is not nice to rile Bill Belichick and the Patriots. All the Jets and a former coach did was turn them in for cheating. Like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Patriots, 56-3

---

GAME: Seattle Seahawks (9-4) at Carolina Panthers (5-8), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: Not even the east-coast travel can seem to slow the Seahawks, who have won five in a row. Certainly, it won't be the Panthers, who have lost four of five.

PREDICTION: Seahawks, 23-13

---

GAME: Atlanta Falcons (3-10) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-5), 1 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: Just remember, the Falcons wanted to hire Ken Whisenhunt. Instead, they hired Bobby Petrino. Now Michael Vick isn't the most despised person in Atlanta.

PREDICTION: Buccaneers, 28-0

---

GAME: Indianapolis Colts (11-2) at Oakland Raiders (4-9), 4:05 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: All those injuries and the Colts are positioned for the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. By the way, what happened to their Super Bowl hangover?

PREDICTION: Colts, 30-13

---

GAME: Philadelphia Eagles (5-8) at Dallas Cowboys (12-1), 4:15 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: The Eagles have lost three in a row by a combined 10 points. And the opponents were the Patriots, Seahawks and Giants. Here comes No. 4.

PREDICTION: Cowboys, 34-17

---

GAME: Detroit Lions (6-7) at San Diego Chargers (8-5), 4:15 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: Well, those 10 victories Jon Kitna predicted are out of the question for the Lions, who have lost five in a row. The Chargers are merely masquerading as a division leader.

PREDICTION: Chargers, 28-16

---

GAME: Washington Redskins (6-7) at New York Giants (9-4), 8:15 p.m., Sunday

THE SKINNY: Don't discount the Giants in any playoff formula. Three of their four losses were to the Cowboys (twice) and Packers. But they are also 3-3 at home.

PREDICTION: Giants, 34-14

---

GAME: Chicago Bears (5-8) at Minnesota Vikings (7-6), Monday, 8:30 p.m.

THE SKINNY: The Vikings are among the hottest teams in the league, averaging 34.8 points during a four-game winning streak. They put up 34 on the Bears in the first meeting.

PREDICTION: Vikings, 38-20
