will the real Hedgie please stand up!? Handicapper or Stooge ??

Chiefs +3 (-120) 3 stars
Matt Cassell is a go. He's coming off an emergency apendectomy 11 days ago but practiced 3 days this week and is a go today. This is an important game for the Chiefs who can feel the chargers breathing down their necks. Casell has quietly put together a great season with 23 TDS and 4 Ints. They have the balance to win this game and +3 is a generous spread. take !
Eagles +3 3 stars
Giants have found their running game recently but lost 2 wr's last week in the game vs the vikings. Steve Smith and Mario Manningham could prove to be costly losses while Eli is not playing at a high level right now. That coupled with shaky special teams and a short week off the monday nighter in Detroit spell trouble for the Gmen.

Bucs -4 2 stars
The Bucs are still fighting for a wildcard spot and are 8-0 vs losing teams this year. The key here is that they are beating those teams by and average margin of 7.5 points. Look for the Bucs to take care of business at home today while the Lions continue to start 3rd string Qb Stanton. Bucs by 10

Cowboys -7 1 star
The Redskins benched Mcnabb this week...AGAIN....and will give Rex Grossman a shot. The hedgie can make no sense of this decision by Shanahan. It's a debacle beyond words. Meanwhile Dallas has it's last home game of the season and has revenge on it's mind from week 1 . This smells like a blowout....

Almost made the cut: Colts -4 just a hunch but hedgie thinks manning is likely to pick apart the jags 28th ranked pass defense and get the cover. they have had a few extra days to heal also. hard to fade the jags who are surging right now with a strong running game. hunch says peyton finds a way...
