1. If Green Bay and San Diego win Sunday, who would win a Chargers-Packers Super Bowl?

  Chargers
  Packers
2. Will Randy Moss' play be affected by his off-field drama this week?

  Yes
  No
3. What's your take on the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

  They do a good job honoring the greats
  Too many greats are overlooked
  Too many not-quite-greats make it
  Too many offensive players
  Could care less
4. Which of these eligible Hall of Fame candidates that didn't make the final 17 is most deserving of a Canton spot?

  Ken Stabler, QB   Steve Atwater, S

  Lester Hayes, CB   Cortez Kennedy, DT  
5. Packers-Giants:

  Green Bay dominates from start to finish, sends New York home with blowout loss   Eli Manning falters, Packers ride defense to win  
  Weather keeps score low, but Green Bay should be in control   Giants play a hell of a game, but Favre and Packers pull out a close one  
  Mistakes doom Packers, Giants pull upset   Giants outplay Packers, silence critics with huge upset  
6. Will new coach Tony Sparano have success in Miami?

  They'll be back in the 5-8 win range in 2007, and Parcells will help rebuild a winner
  They'll be terrible next year, but Sparano will have a shot over the long term
  Parcells as the GM and the guy from HBO as the coach? A disaster of Cam Cameron proportions
  Who the f--- cares about the Dolphins?
7. Patriots-Chargers:

  Rematch goes like the first one, Patriots by 20+   Patriots grind out a surprisingly close victory  
  Chargers show toughness, but just don't have the horses, fail to cover 13.5 point spread   Chargers pull the upset  
  Patriots' passing game is the difference -- again -- in a 7-13 point win   Patriots' 18th win of the season is their most dominant, an absolute evisceration of short-handed SD

10. The 2-week gap between the title games and the Super Bowl ...

Sucks
Is kind of dumb, but no big deal
At least extends the season by a week
Is necessary
Is 14 days long
