* NY GIANTS 20, PHOENIX 17: So Lawrence Taylor says he’ll retire at the end of the season? The way the Giants were playing, I thought he retired last year.
* MIAMI 23, ATLANTA 13: The only undefeated team in the AFC against the only team that has to wonder if its kick returner will get a hit in the baseball playoffs on Sunday.
* KANSAS CITY 21, PHILADELPHIA 14: Yeah. That’s right. I’m picking an upset. Yeah, I saw them on Monday. Sue me.
* HOUSTON 21, CINCINNATI 20: Why is it that Houston never has to change its run ‘n’ shoot, while the Lions monkey with theirs every week?
