FRIDAY NIGHT GAME
West Virginia Mountaineers (7-3) at 25. Pitt Panthers (7-3), 11am, ABC
This is an early Friday game, the day after Thanksgiving. If Cincinnati loses their game, either one of these teams can swoop in and take the Big East. Least.

SATURDAY GAMES
1. Alabama Crimson Sabans (11-0) at 83. Auburn Tireds (5-6), 230pm, CBS
I know, I know, this is almost a gimme. But I can't win. If I put it on the game sheet, everyone says, "This is a gimme!". If I don't, then the Sabanation gives me the, "Oh, you're gonna leave that game off now that Bama is good, huh??". So, here it is. But for kicks and giggles, THIS is our tiebreak game.

23. Oregon Ducks (8-3) at 17. Oregon State Beavers (8-3), 6pm
Aw, its hard to pick a Ducks game when there is no Mikey Nipp to pick it... but if I waited for him to make the postseason, it might be years... so there we are. Personally, I love the Ducks, but I'd love to see the Beavs go to the Rose Bowl.

Vanderbilt Commodores (6-5) at Wake Forest Demon Deacons (6-5), 6pm, ESPNU
This one? Just for the heck of it. Pick 'em!

NFL GAMES
Carolina Panthers (8-3) at Green Bay Packers (5-5), 12pm, Fox
Green Bay and New Orleans play Monday Night, so adjust their records accordingly... Its easy to see the records and say that the Panthers have this... but don't forget, they are playing on the Froo-zen Tun-Druh of Lambooooow Field...

New Orleans Saints (5-5) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3), 12pm, Fox
Green Bay and New Orleans play Monday night, so adjust their records accordingly... how great is it to put the fate of all involved in the DFC in the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?

Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) at New England Patriots (7-4), 315pm, CBS
What the...? Don't look now! Matt Cassel might actually be a good QB!

Kansas City Chiefs (1-10) at Oakland Raiders (3-8), 315pm, CBS
We don't do it every week... but sometimes... The Crap O'the Week!!
