Okay, they admit it: The idea of vacation days got to L.I. Slim and the KC Line last weekend, and picks were left unmade. (Confidentially, they both would have taken a beating). L.I. Slim is still rather shaken after Week 13's debacle, and he's feeling like nerveless Robert Vaughn in "The Magnificent Seven." But here goes, with forced brio...

Under those conditions, these picks of teams from the NFL's red-meat days are a lock: Take the Barry Sanders' Lions and 10 points against a Packers team that...
