Vikings (8-4) @ Cardinals (10-2)
Minnesota sits a top the NFC North tied with Green Bay after their tough loss against Seattle. They have now dropped two of the last three now, as they head down into the desert to take on Arizona. The Cardinals have proven themselves to be a tough team to beat. The Cardinals just smoked the Rams and wont be showing any mercy to the Vikings as they look to make the NFC West theirs. Look for Arizona to focus on covering the wholes to limit Adrian Peterson and cover all of Bridgewaters options. Spread favors the Cardinals by 7.5, which may be a bit much but I see a 27-18 Cardinals win.
The Cowboys are coming of their first win without Romo taking the snaps, as they were able to come out on top after all the back and forth scoring in Washington. You can see they still have good defense and it was a big difference maker in their last win. Green Bay had their miracle victory on the last second bomb from Rodgers to Rodgers. They have got some momentum right now, though their offense doesn't seem to be fully figured out. If Rodgers receivers can get open expect the Packers to put up a big score. But if things continue and Rodgers can't find his targets, the Cowboys will get to him and bring him down for some big sacks. Packers are favored by 7, I see a 24-15 Green Bay victory.
Bills (6-6) @ Eagles (5-7)
Bills are entering their first of three games against the NFC East, so if this is a time for them to make a push the playoffs this would be it. They got a tough battle fighting with the Jets, Steelers and others for one of those two extra seats. The Eagles shocked everyone overcoming the Patriots and giving them their second loss in a row. Can that be good enough momentum to beat the Bills as well? I doubt it. There is no spread on this one, but I am going Bills 28-20.
The Cleveland Browns currently sit with the number pick in next years draft. So why are putting Manziel back into the starting role? You would think they would want that pick. Well they are putting Manziel in to take on the 9ers who actually haven't looked to bad in recent weeks. Gabbert may be the guy they have been looking for, though he only had 99 passing yards through the first four quarters. The Browns are favored by 1.5 points, but I am going to go with the 49ers here. San Francisco 23-21.
Lions (4-8) @ Rams (4-8)
As the season started the Rams look to be a tough team, taking down both the Seahawks and Cardinals. While the Lions looked pretty bad starting 0-5, but since then Detroit has heated up and the Rams have slumped leading to both of them to have 4-8 records. Right now the Lions are the team to trust, they are coming off a tough OT loss but I have to go with them against a team that can't even decide on a QB right now. Rams are favored by one, but I take Detroit 20-13.
Saints (4-8) @ Buccaneers (6-6)
It is plain and simple, the Saints defense can't seem to stop anyone. We have seen Bress get out scored over and over again, as he does his job but doesn't see much support. The spread in this is 3.5 points favoring the Bucs. Now that is tough to call, as Brees has at least made some of these games close. Can Winston cover that spread? I still think the Bucs will win, but not by enough. Tampa Bay 32-30.
These two teams come into this game facing much different situations. The Jets are fighting to get a wildcard spot while the Titans are just trying to figure out who they should be planning to draft. The Titans have looked good recently however, but I think the push for the playoffs will be enough to make the Jets beat a team that they shouldn't fall to anyway. The spread is seven favoring New York, which does sound like it might be to much, but I am going to go Jets 24-14.
Steelers (7-5) @ Bengals (10-2)
Here is a big division showdown and the biggest game of the week, as the Bengals look to lock up the division and the Steelers try to stay in a good position for a playoff spot. If the Bengals take this one, the playoffs are theirs, but the Steelers have scored more than 30 in four straight games. Cincinnati took the first matchup between these two, but the Steelers have impressed me with all the great offense thanks to Brown, Bryant, Wheater and all of Big Bens options, not to mention Williams who has been one of the leaders in rushing recently.The spread favors the Bengals by three, but I want to take the Steelers 34-31.
Patriots (10-2) @ Texans (6-6)
The Patriots have dropped two in a row, what has happened? Is Belichick not paying those refs enough. Well I am sure they wont let it continue. Watt is a tough man to beat, but Brady will find a way to come up with a win. Houston is still trying to fight their way into the playoffs, but they will need to continue on week 15 as New England wont let themselves miss a bye in the playoffs. Spread favors New England by three, which sounds rather accurate. Patriots 27-24.
It seemed the Colts had things figured out with Hasselbeck starting at QB, but then they get destroyed. The Jaguars took a tough loss, Robinson got in for three TDs but they still fell short by three against the Titans. The Jaguars are favored by one and with a win, they right back in the mix for the AFC South title. With the Colts being a bit beat up after their huge loss, I am going to take the Jaguars 23-21.
Chargers (3-9) @ Chiefs (7-5)
There is not a hotter team than the Chiefs. They have taken six straight while the Chargers have dropped seven of eight. You would think after the loss of Charles, the Chiefs would be screwed but they have done just great without him. The Chiefs continue their fight for the playoffs which is why they are favored by a solid 10. I give it the Chiefs 34-20.
Redskins (5-7) @ Bears (5-7)
The Bears tough loss last week has pushed them back in the playoffs, while though the Redskins had a tough one as well, they are still right in the fight. The Bears can't win at hone for some random reason, so though they are favored by by three I got to go with Washington. They still have motivation for the season while I bet the Bears have thrown in the towel. Redskins take it 28-25.
Go back to early October both teams were undefeated in their fight for the NFC South. The Falcons were 5-0 and looked to take it to the end with Carolina. Since, the Panthers have stayed perfect while the Falcons have dropped six of the last seven. Newton and Panthers have been unstoppable as they are favored by 7.5 in this one. Shouldn't be an issue to cover that again, Panthers 37-24.
Raiders (5-7) @ Broncos (10-2)
The Raiders looked to have a good start to the season, but they have slipped up after their 4-3 start. As they showed us last week, turnovers are what is killing them. The Broncos are a team that force turnovers, so Carr and the Raiders better protect that ball if they want any hope in winning this one. The spread favors the Broncos by 7.5, as the Raiders will have a tough time scoring against Denver in the mile high city. Broncos 24-10.
Seahawks (7-5) @ Ravens (4-8)
Lets be honest, this game is a joke. Nothing against the Ravens, they are just to beat up to be able to keep up with Wilson and the Seahawks. The spread on this one is nine points, but I think the Seahawks wont have any issue with that. They have been really hot these last few weeks in their fight to claim one of the wildcard seats. Seattle 31-17.
Both these teams apparently were suppose to make a great show at this point in the season on MNF but they have had some brutal seasons. Now the Giants still have a fight for their division with the big tie in the NFC East, but the funny story to them is how if the final 75 seconds of games could have been skipped, the Giants would 10-2 right now. Blowing that late lead just seems to be their thing this year. Last week against the Jets is just a simple example. The spread favors the Giants by one, and since they have something to fight for I have to go with them. Giants 20-17.
Record: 119-73 (.620)
