Four playoff spots are up for grabs this week with only TFP, Trader Dave, Pastor Jon and Pastor Kirk holding clinched spots. Let's get to the picks.

Last Week: 4-2

Season: 33-27 (worst season evah?)

Pastor Mike (5-7) vs. Team Tommy (5-7)

We bought Tommy stock last week and it bit us in the backside. We won't get fooled again. Look for Cutler (vs STL) to shine when there's no pressure and MJD (vs HOU) to chip in three TDs. Sneaky play: Devery Henderson. Pastor Mike 48, Team Tommy 40.

Trader Dave (8-4) vs. Pastor Matt (5-7)

Only the team formerly known as Sky Pilots stands between Trader Dave and another regular season fantasy championship (he's got a closet full of those trophies). Dave got off to a fast start with 19 points from Tommy Lee Jones and the Jets defense so Matt's up against it. We love Jon Stewart (vs TB) and Pierre Thomas (@WASH), and The Wrangler (@AZ) should chuck the ball around a little bit. We see two scores from Larry Fitzgerald (vs MIN) so let's just go ahead and call the upset. Sneaky play: Jason Avant (@ATL). Pastor Matt 83, Trader Dave 79.

Pastor Steve (6-6) vs. Internet Mike (6-6)

Win and you're in, fellas. This one promises to be a barnburner but we give the checkmark to the team with the best player, and that's Chris Johnson (@IND). Is there a more frustrating backfield than Matt Forte (vs STL) and Brandon Jacobs (vs DAL)? Internet Mike 69, Pastor Steve 66.

Team Timmy (6-6) vs. Little Sowers (6-6)

Coming off a season-defining victory over TFP, we feel like Sowers might be a little drunk on self-love. Timmy scratched and bit his way past Pastor Jon in a Week 12 thriller and even though Uncle Mo is on his side we can't ignore Carson Palmer (vs DET), Santonio Holmes (vs OAK), and Steve Jackson (@CHI). And if Matt Leinart gets the start for the Cardinals, Minnesota (@ AZ) could score 20. Sneaky play: None. Little Sowers 77, Timmy 72.

Pastor Kirk (7-5) vs. Pastor Jon (7-5)

With a win and a Trader Dave loss, one of these two teams can earn the top seed in the playoffs (which means nothing since we don't grant byes to the top two seeds... G to the A to the Y). With Aaron Rodgers (vs BAL) getting a nasty draw and DeAngelo Williams (vs TB) a game-time decision, we can't back Jon in this one. Look for Trader Dave castoff Jamal Charles (vs DEN) to score in double figures and Randy Moss (@MIA) to do more damage than he did in New Orleans. Sneaky Play: Mike Bell (j/k). Pastor Kirk 80, Pastor Jon 54.

TFP (7-5) vs. Pastor John (4-8)

Quickly, do you know who won last year's regular season title? TFP did. And do you know how he did in the playoffs? He lost in the first round. To Pastor John. Paybacks are a bitch, son. Sneaky play: Kevin Walter. TFP 100, Pastor John 33.

Thanks for hanging tough like New Kids On the Block, fellas. Here's a Random Song Worth Your Time.
