Alright, it's almost here, it's almost time to decide who will be the perennial kings of the entire 100-yard football field.

Washington Redskins 17, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10

Washington and New England teams stay alive for one more week in this road to the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit . The Redskins defeated the NFL's top defensive team Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17 to 10 [ Yahoo Sports ]. No thanks to veteran QB Mark Brunell but more to an inexperienced yet talented Bucs QB Chris Simms. It seemed the Bucs could and would reclaim the game but the Skins defensive team just upped the intensity, nevermind total 122 yards is lowest ass in playoff history – the big deal is they get the “W” and stay alive for one more week. Redskins travel to Seattle on Jan 14 for the NFC Divisional. Skins are 24/1 Odds to Win Super Bowl XL [bodog] not too shabby for super underdogs +1800 to win the NFC back in August [Sports Betting Index].

Jacksonville Jaguars 3, New England Patriots 28

Over at Foxboro, defending Super Bowl champions New England Patriots live up to the hype demolishing the Jacksonville Jaguars 28 to 3 [ Yahoo Sports ], and in all aspects of the game at that! Sure, Tom Brady is a great NFL Quarter Back and is assured of Hall of Fame and all that talk.. but DEFENSE, plain old DEFENSE is what really wins these crucial games. Willie McGinest put on a hell of defensive show, so did Asante Samuel who scored off an INTercenption in the 4 th qtr that clinced the game. Gotta mention Ben Watson's efforts. Pats win without old pal Teddy Bruschi!

On Week 17, Patriots were 6 to 1 Odds to Win Super Bowl 2006 – with this triumph expect the odds to drop to 4 to 1. Still a good value bet if ya ask me. Patriots will meet either top-seeded Indianapolis Colts (shivers in Indy land) or the Denver Broncos for the AFC Divisional Playoffs. Ooh la la!

On the betting front, Oddjack gave ya both the Skins and the Pats (yer welcome) BUT lost the totals. We have a shot to carve a winning record for the week with Sunday's games Panthers at Giants and Steelers at Bengals (Who Dey?).
