• The Bears are in trouble at quarterback. Big trouble.

John Madden said it on the NBC telecast last night: Rex Grossman just doesn't look like a confident guy right now. In the last six weeks, Grossman has had three stinkers (15 of 34, no TDs, three picks at New England; 6 of 19, no TDs, three picks against Minnesota; 2 of 12, zero and three again against the Packers). I don't know how in good conscience Lovie Smith can put his playoff fate in the hands of Grossman. Even though Brian Griese was no gem Sunday night, I'd get him practiced and ready to go for the first playoff game in two weeks at Soldier Field.

• Intriguing playoff matchups, don't you think?

In order (times Eastern):

1. Kansas City (9-7) at Indianapolis (12-4), Saturday, 4:30 p.m.: First thought that went through my mind when Denver lost in overtime to San Francisco: Nightmare matchup for the Colts. Kansas City's rushing for 134 yards a game. Larry Johnson is the league's top plowhorse, with 26 rushes and 112 yards per game.  Kansas City's strategy will be clear: Limit Peyton Manning's possessions by having long ones. Houston limited the Colts to seven possessions and 46 offensive plays eight days ago, and Kansas City is precisely the team to do what the Texans' Gary Kubiak and Ron Dayne did last week. The Colts will need a solid game from knee-ravaged safety Bob Sanders, who is expected to play in pain, if they're to have a chance to win.

2. Dallas (9-7) at Seattle (9-7), Saturday, 8 p.m.: "I can't tell you how disappointed I am,'' Bill Parcells said after the Cowboys lost to Detroit. "I really can't. This is a low point for me.'' Parcells was stripped bare emotionally after the Lions put up a mind-boggling 39 points on the 'Boys. But this has been coming. In the last four games, Dallas has allowed 42 points and 536 yards to New Orleans; 28 points and 376 yards to Atlanta; 23 and 426 to Philly; and 39 and 362 to Detroit. AT HOME! Now they'll travel to Seattle, which seems to be getting semi-well after some dark offensive days this season. And the Cowboys will need to cover D.J. Hackett, the out-of-nowhere wideout who's become Matt Hasselbeck's favorite target in the last four weeks (19 catches and two touchdowns, compared to Deion Branch's 15 and 0). Speaking of receivers, I hear the Seahawks are close to signing Marcus Robinson, late of the Vikings, because Darrell Jackson and Bobby Engram are banged up right now.

3. New York Jets (10-6) at New England (12-4), Sunday, 1 p.m.: The Jets' 17-14 win in Foxboro on Nov. 12 caused the Patriots to install FieldTurf at Gillette Stadium because the field was all muck. Will that matter much here? It could -- for the Jets as well as New England. Leon Washington, who has emerged as a Dave Meggettish threat for the Jets, carried it only 10 times against the Patriots this season, but he could be New York's mystery key in Revenge Bowl III on the fast track of the FieldTurf. The Patriots scored only 38 points in eight quarters against the Jets this year and will need to do better here. Luckily for them, Tom Brady is getting in sync with his receivers and seems poised to have a strong postseason.

4. New York Giants (8-8) at Philadelphia (10-6). Got one more miracle in you, Tiki? Right now, the Eagles are a better team on both lines and at quarterback. And Brian Westbrook is a threat to dominate any game. But if Barber can rev up his motor better than he did in either meeting with the Eagles this season -- 19 carries for 75 yards at Giants Stadium, and 21 for 51 at the Linc -- the Giants have a good chance here. My guess is that the Eagles will load the box to stop Barber and say to Eli Manning: Go ahead. Beat us if you can.
