Jacksonville at Houston, 6:30 p.m.
* Why you should tune in: Because there will be, um, it will feature, um, you might see, um, um . . . OK, we're stumped, why should you tune in?
* Why you shouldn't tune in: In the offseason, this might have been a viewed as a key late-season AFC South matchup. But with both teams at 4-7, it's a battle for not coming in last place.
* The line: Texans by 3
* The pick: Jaguars. Level of certainty: 1. We flipped a coin, and Jacksonville came up.
Sunday's winners
BRONCOS: Just when it looked like they might have been faltering, the Broncos uncorked a big upset of the previously hot Jets. Denver is a near-lock to win the AFC West and now can focus upon improving its playoff seeding.
FALCONS: Atlanta stayed in the thick of the NFC playoff race by winning at San Diego, 22-16. The Falcons must keep winning if they want to nudge by the Panthers, Buccaneers or Cowboys for a playoff spot.
STEELERS: In their 33-10 romp over New England, the Steelers made a statement: They will be formidable come playoff time. For now, they kept their one-game lead over the Ravens in the AFC North.
And losers
SAINTS: New Orleans might be on track to become the best 8-8 team in NFL history. In an NFC South must-win, the Saints couldn't overcome the Buccaneers and remained in last place - at 6-6 - in the division.
BILLS: Forget about that 4-0 start, Buffalo will be lucky to finish over .500, much less make the playoffs. The Bills lost to San Francisco 10-3 at home in bad weather - shouldn't Buffalo know how to play in Buffalo?
REDSKINS: After a 6-2 start, Washington is suddenly looking like the odd team out in the NFC wild-card race. And it won't get better for the Redskins, and their struggling offense, next week when they visit Baltimore.
Fantasy surprise
Baltimore receiver Mark Clayton caught five passes for 164 yards and a touchdown, and he also threw a 32-yard TD pass.
Burress to turn himself in
Plaxico Burress plans to turn himself in to police this morning in New York City and plead not guilty to criminal possession of a weapon, his lawyer said.
Benjamin Brafman wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Sunday that he was advised the New York Giants' star receiver will be charged after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh.
''I do not expect that Mr. Burress will make a statement,'' Brafman wrote.
He met with Burress for about an hour Sunday at the player's home in New Jersey. ''I would ask that his fans, the Giants and the media withhold judgment in this matter until all of the facts have been disclosed,'' Brafman wrote to the AP.
Burress shot himself at a Manhattan nightclub Friday night and was released from a hospital early Saturday, the Giants said.
''As far as we know, he's going to be OK,'' general manager Jerry Reese said Sunday before the Super Bowl champions' 23-7 victory at the Washington Redskins.
Before the shooting, Burress already had been ruled out of the game because of a leg injury.
New York police and NFL security are investigating what happened Friday. Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce was interviewed by NFL security at the team's hotel Saturday, Reese said.
Pierce - who started against Washington - reportedly was present for the latest dramatic turn in a tumultuous season of fines and suspension for Burress.
Pierce deflected several questions after the game. ''I am not answering any questions about the incident that happened Friday night,'' he said.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin wouldn't address Burress' future with the Giants, saying only, ''Questions of that nature will be discussed going forward, I'm sure.''

Beyond the box score
* Announced one last time as the ''starting free safety'' for the Washington Redskins, Sean Taylor was inducted into the team's Ring of Fame before Sunday's game against the New York Giants. The game, won by the Giants 23-7, was the first following the one-year anniversary of Taylor's death. He was shot in his Florida home last Nov. 26 and died a day later.
* The Chargers' LaDainian Tomlinson scored his 136th career touchdown, tying him with Marshall Faulk for fifth place all-time.
* The Bills' Rian Lindell missed a 20-yard field-goal attempt after having hit 53 consecutive tries from inside the 40 in Buffalo's 10-3 loss to the 49ers.
* The Ravens' defense hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 31 games, the longest current streak in the NFL.
