It’s shaping up to be quite a weekend in sports, particularly for this fan. That’s quite a run, we must say. Locally, here’s a smattering: the return of KG tonight. Something about his history tells us that Mr. Garnett will have a tasty elbow for Kevin Love at some point. Just a hunch. For the Marthaler crowd, you also have Gophers vs. Denver in hot, hot men’s college hockey action tonight and tomorrow. Saturday is the final college football game in the Metrodome. The Gophers are planning a decadent, can-never-be-topped way to lose this one, just to honor all the bad times. We’re thinking a wrong-way run or some sort of drop kick will figure prominently. The Wild, in its never-ending quest to score more than two goals in a game, plays host to the lowly Blues on Saturday. And finally, in the main event, the Mustached Marauder leads his team to the 50-yard line in Jacksonville against Hands of Stone Williamson, who knows what it’s like to have a groin injury. Should be festive. Could be a sad Monday. On with the NFL picks.

Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers: Call it a strong hunch.
N.Y. Jets at Tennessee Titans: Can they really run the table?
Philadelphia Eagles at Baltimore Ravens: Eagles are full of holes.
Houston Texans at Cleveland Browns: Brady!
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys: Tony!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroit Lions: Daunte! Uh, no.

New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins: They remember.
Chicago Bears at St. Louis Rams: Bears will finish 7-9 or worse.
Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos: Watch those footballs fly.
