MONDAY NIGHT QUARTERBACK: The one thing you can say about New England is that they always find a way to win the game. Well, except Monday evening apparently. Leading by 11 points in the fourth quarter with just three minutes to go the Patriots actually found a way to lose the game. You have to give the Miami Dolphins credit. For a team that can be charitably described as being hopeless this year, they didn't give up.

Of course, that screwed me up. Las Vegas had the Pats favoured by 9.5 points. I figured they'd win by 20 points. Oh well.

I also had picked Chicago to win at home against Houston, Denver to win on the road against Kansas City, Tampa Bay not to embarrass themselves against the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay to win and Tennessee to win. The afternoon games just killed me this week.

Am I the only one thinking that Green Bay, despite being assured of a playoff spot, really should have won that game against Jacksonville? Brett Favre's stats looked decent -- until you see his four picks.

What was that with Indy fans booing Peyton Manning? It came near the end of the game when Manning, showing just how classy he is, decided to kneel twice in the final minute of the game rather than to try and tie Dan Marino's record. The Colts were leading the Baltimore Ravens 20-10 and another touchdown was essentially pointless. Colts fans: You have a great quarterback and a great individual. Appreciate him.

I guess this week's Cheerleader of the Week Award should go to a Miami Dolphins squad member, the first time this year the team has merited a selection. Picking just one from the outrageously beautiful crew was nearly impossible. A decision must be made, however, so our CotW goes to Danielle, a rookie member of the squad. Danielle is a nursing student and loves to shop. Surprisingly she was quiet in high school.
