*What if I say I'm not like the others?* 
*What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?* 
*You're the pretender* 
*What if I say I will never surrender?*

Here we are, with just a few weeks left in the regular season, ready to find out this week, which teams are real contenders, and which are not. There are a handful of games this week between teams that we know will be there come playoff time, and others are hoping to be as well.

With confidence waning by the day, here are the picks (home teams in CAPS).
