We will be previewing this week's wildcard games.
(6) Baltimore Ravens at (3) Pittsburgh Steelers
It is a fight of the AFC North as one of the best rivalries in the NFL meet for the third time this year. The first game went to the Ravens, but the second went to the Steelers. The Steelers are 2nd in passing offense while the Ravens are 24th in passing defense. The Steelers also have a better win streak of four games versus Baltimore's one. It will be close but the edge go to the home field team.
Steelers 31, Ravens 28
(6) Detroit Lions at (3) Dallas Cowboys
Ndamukong Suh will not be sitting out this week and only be receiving a fine. That however will not be enough as the Cowboys are one of the best teams in the NFL and can beat anyone any day. The Cowboys are led by DeMarco Murray who started of the season with 100+ yard games. However, the Lions defense is 1st in run defense as they hold teams to an average of 69.3 yards a game. It will be a fun game to watch but ultimately the Cowboys should be able to pull away.
Cowboys 24, Lions 21
(5) Cincinnati Bengals at (4) Indianapolis Colts
Andrew Luck has quickly become the face of the next generation quarterback, And while someday he will probably win a Superbowl, this year does not look the be it. While the Bengals have not been the best team consistently the Colts have not been the best against playoff caliber teams. The Colts four losses are to the Broncos, Eagles, Steelers, Patriots, and Cowboys. They have gotten to play the Titans twice, Texans twice, and Jaguars twice, along with games against the Browns, Redskins, and Giants. Though, to be fair the Colts beat the Ravens and even the Bengals, but that was in the Bengals three game win-less slump in October. The Bengals have beaten Baltimore twice and just got a big win against the Broncos to secure their playoff spot.
Bengals 40, Colts 31
(5) Arizona Cardinals at (4) Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are the second team in history to make the playoffs with a losing record. However, if we learned anything from the 2010 Seattle Seahawks is that you don't dismiss anyone. The Cardinals have an outstanding defense, but have been cursed with injuries all year. The Panthers are coming off are coming off a four game win streak to make their playoff appearance possible and are one of the hottest teams at the moment.
Panthers 20, Cardinals 12

Week 16 Bold Predictions 2014-2015
Three predictions for Monday's game Broncos vs. Bengals.
1. Peyton Manning sits.
Manning is one of the most competitive players in the league but even he needs time to rest.
2. If Manning plays he has no touchdowns.
Manning will be shut down.
3. Andy Dalton has 500 yards.
Why not?
Week 16 Monday Night Football
Denver Broncos at Cincinnati Bengals
There have been questions about if John Fox will play the Peyton Manning this game to let him fully recover. A win would help there chances in better seeding. The Bengals and Andy Dalton need a win to to help their playoff hopes. Next week they play the Steelers and that could have division title implications.
Broncos 41, Bengals 30

Giants Beat Rams 37-27
Odell Beckham Jr, had two touchdowns today against the Rams who hadn't let a touchdown in three games. This caused tension and fights in the combined penalized game this season that saw three players ejected after a brawl (Damontre Moore, Preston Parker, William Hayes).
Giants Pros: The Rams usually get into other teams heads, but Beckham Jr. got into theirs.
Giants Cons: The Giants are usually one of the most penalized teams but has a huge amount today.
Rams Pros: Tavon Austin keeps looking better and better after each game.
Rams Cons: They let other players get into their head.

Week 15 Monday Night Football
New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears at 5-8 are eliminated from playoff contention, but the Saints who also sit at 5-8 are not. The Saints main rival the past few weeks for the NFC South title has been the Falcons who lost yesterday. Their other rival, the Panthers won and now all three teams have five wins. If the Saints win tonight they'll be the sole leader in the win column in the South. What does this game mean for the Bears? Well, many people have been calling the firing of Marc Trestman, and he'll need to improve his wining record to keep his seat that much colder.
Saints 41, Bears 24

GAME OF THE WEEK
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles
This Sunday Night Football game has major playoff implications. Both the Eagles and Cowboys are 9-4 and the winner of this game will have a full game lead over the NFC East rival. The Eagles did it a few weeks ago on Thanksgiving and seem poise to do it again following a tough defeat against the Seahawks.
Eagles 24, Cowboys 16
DOG OF THE WEEK
New York Jets at Tennessee Titans
The battle of two win teams. This game will be a mess and will finish exactly like the Jets/Vikings game last week.
Titans 30, Jets 24
UPSET OF THE WEEK
Arizona Cardinals at St. Louis Rams
The Cardinals need this win to keep ahead of the Seahawks, but with Carson Palmer out and the Rams playing so damn well, don't be surprised to see another Ram's shutout.
Rams 21, Cardinals 0

5(4)-Philadelphia Eagles-(9-4)-Bad news for Philly fans, three of the Eagles four losses are by teams in the NFC that most experts would say are elite. Would they be able to beat those teams in the playoffs, probably not.
6(6)-Indianapolis Colts-(9-4)-The game may not have exactly been pretty, but Andrew Luck showed he has the know to win.
7(7)-Dallas Cowboys-(9-4)-So Dallas played two Thursdays in a row. There seems to be something wrong with that.

9(10)-Detroit Lions-(9-4)-With Detroit also at 9-4, the NFC wildcard race is going to be wild the next few weeks.

15(14)-Kansas City Chiefs-(7-6)-Both the Cardinals and Chiefs needed this game for their individual playoff aspirations, but the Chiefs needed it more.
16(15)-Miami Dolphins-(7-6)-Miami had some bad luck being lined up against the Ravens this week, and now face the Patriots in New England. However, remember that the Dolphins already beat the Patriots this year in the first week.

19(18)-Cleveland Browns-(7-6)-Brian Hoyer will be leaving Cleveland this season. Typical Browns organization having more QB turnover.
20(22)-St. Louis Rams-(6-7)-Prior to last week, St. Louis didn't have a shutout since 2006, now they did it twice in a row.
21(21)-Atlanta Falcons-(5-8)-It's a big possibility that we will see for the second time in history, a losing record team make the playoffs.

27(27)-Tampa Bay Buccaneers-(2-11)-It's sad knowing the Buccaneers are out of playoff contention.
28(28)-Washington Redskins-(3-10)-There was a mistake last week that listed the Redskins at 3-10 when really they were 3-9.

Week 14 Bold Predictions 2014-2015
Three predictions for Mondays game of the Atlanta Falcons vs Green Bay Packers
1. Aaron Rodgers throws six touchdowns.
We've seen in before and it will happen again tonight.
2. Steven Jackson runs for a 100 yards.
Last week versus the Cardinals we saw the Jackson run for 100 yards for the first time this season. Now we see him do it two weeks in a row.
3. There are no turnovers.
A long shot, but possible.
Week 14 Monday Night Football 2014-2015
Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers
This should be a fairly easy win for the Packers who have been the hottest team in the nation right now. Aaron Rodgers is playing with some MVP status and as the game is home in Green Bay it will be hard for Matt Ryan and the Atlanta based franchise to win. However, if the Falcons can somehow pull off the upset it would be a huge advantage for them as they would have a one game lead on the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South.
Packers 40, Falcons 20

Week 13 Monday Night Football 2014-2015
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
The Jets are playing two Monday nights in a row. Last week was against their AFC East rivals, the Buffalo Bills of Detroit. This week they play their other AFC East rivals, the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are still in the hunt to be in the AFC playoffs. The Jets are not. Ryan Tannehill should lead this team to an easy win on a nice night in the NYC region. However, Geno Smith will be back under center and it will be interesting to see how he does.
Dolphins 24, Jets 13
