Crystal Helmet, Week 14

First of all, let me wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. I'm very thankful to be in this community, with so many wonderful readers and generous human beings. You inspire and challenge me every day.

Now, how about some prognostication to go with your cranberry sauce?

NFL picks

Dallas 27, Seahawks 17
Why: Despite all their drama, the Cowboys are starting to get right at the right time. Terrell Owens will have a big game against the smaller Seahawks cornerbacks, and the Seahawks' offensive woes will continue.

Philadelphia 34, Arizona 28
New York Giants 19, Washington 10
Pittsburgh 20, New England 17
New Orleans 27, Tampa Bay 23

College picks

Hawaii 38, Washington State 28
Why: After a double-overtime victory over Washington, the Cougars will play loose in their season finale. But Hawaii quarterback Greg Alexander, who has thrown for at least 200 yards in three of the last four games, will continue his steady play. In the end, the Cougars defense just isn't good enough to get a victory.

Oklahoma 49, Oklahoma State 21
Florida 50, Florida State 28
USC 42, Notre Dame 17
Oregon State 35, Oregon 30

Last week's record: 5-5
Season to date: 88-42 (67.9 percent)
