WHO’S OUT: Four of eight NFL divisional winners were decided Sunday in a bizarre turn of events.

With wins in their final game, the Dolphins (AFC East), Chargers (AFC West), Vikings (NFC North) and Panthers (NFC South) were crowned the winners of their respective divisions. Heading into Week 17, the Steelers (AFC North), Titans (AFC South), Giants (NFC East) and Cardinals (NFC West) had already clinched their divisions.

Game of the Week: Had referee Ed Hochuli not made a terrible call in Week 2, this would be no Game of the Week and the San Diego Chargers (7-8) would have already been crowned the winner of the AFC West over the Denver Broncos (8-7).

The Chargers were predicted as one of the most probable teams to win the Super Bowl during the offseason and are now on the verge of being shutout of the NFL playoffs. With a win over Denver this week at home, San Diego can clinch the pathetic AFC West division with a mediocre 8-8 record.

With the conclusion of Week 16, there is just one week left in the NFL season. Typically, at this time of the season, you expect to see glorious moments. Not the case this week.

Week 16 was full of terrible moments.

It may only be Week 16 of the NFL season, but you might as well consider it a preview of the playoffs. There are several interesting AFC-NFC matchups (Ravens @ Cowboys & Cardinals @ Patriots), however, somehow, someway, the schedule maker has the No. 1- and 2-ranked AFC and NFC teams facing each other.

Although I’m pinning Carolina-New York as the Game of the Week, the Pittsburgh-Tennessee has just as much significance on the line.

Heading into Week 15, the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans both held the best records in their respective conferences. However, they both fell as victims to divisional rivals on the road.

AFC: The Titans should have won this week against the Houston Texans, but head coach Jeff Fisher sure blew it for them. On fourth-and-three, with a score of 13-12 in favor of the Texans, there is no way in hell he should (although he did) have tried to pick up the first down, especially since long distance field goal-kicking specialist Rob Bironas was sitting on the sidelines. Bironas, a 2007 Pro Bowler, is almost a lock to nail any kick over 40 yards. It almost seems as if the further he goes, the better he gets.

Thanksgiving day football was nothing but blowouts.

The Titans 47-10 rout over the Lions made them look like a first place team and the Lions a last place team. It’s sure looking like the Lions will remain winless throughout the entire season.

In case your wondering … I thought the Cowboys and Eagles would win Thursday, as they did. I had picked the Lions to win outright over the Titans, but by now you should now that I (almost) always pick against the Titans, no matter what. So what if it was foolish? I would have loved to have seen it happen.

OK, lets get on to this week’s predictions …

The first place NFC East-leading New York Giants (10-1) will square off against divisional rival Washington Redskins (7-4) in this week’s game of the week.

The showdown will mark the second time the two teams have matched up this season. The Giants beat the Redskins 16-7 in Week 1 at home as Eli Manning threw for 260 yards and ran for one score.

Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh- In case your wondering, I predicted the Steelers to win and they did 27-10.

Philadelphia @ Baltimore- The Eagles couldn’t get past the Bengals last week (13-13) and the Ravens struggled against the Giants (30-10). Look for the Ravens to bounce back and the Eagles to hit the ground.

The Jets gained control over the up-for-grabs AFC East with a 34-31 overtime victory over the Pats.

The Broncos came from behind to beat the Falcons and extend their lead in the pathetic AFC West.
