Hardly riveting action in this one. Texas Tech has already seen their coach move on to “greener” pastures and Minnesota barely qualified to play in a bowl game. Maybe the Gophers have an advantage because they are not going through a transition…maybe.
The Thunder are off to a terrific start to the season. They have taken great advantage of a schedule that included an unbalanced amount of home game to burst out of the gate and currently have the league’s best record.
The Nuggets just can’t seem to get any momentum going this season. They have played a disproportionately high number of games on the road so far (19 of 28) making their 17-11 ATS record all the more impressive.
When it is Duke and not hardwood it is hard to get excited. This year’s team isn’t a total pushover but I am not sure they are ready to win a bowl game just yet.
A huge battle in the AFC North that should eliminate the loser from playoff contention. Cincinnati has been owned by the Steelers lately and this would be a very opportune time for the Bengals to break their hold.
Washington needs to keep things going to remain in the playoff hunt. They are lucky to be getting a team in as bad shape as the Eagles are even if they are a division rival. RGIII is still iffy at this point.
BYU is an under-considered basketball program. Sure they got a lot of attention during the Jimmer era but this is a good program on the whole and their move to the West Coast Conference forces them to play good competition all season long.
Jets were eliminated last week in comical fashion while the Chargers haven’t been relevant for a while now. Both coaches are fighting to save their jobs so there could be some extra creativity in this contest.
The Colts missed an opportunity last week but are still poised to make the playoffs. Especially because they get a chance to visit the Chiefs, who looked hapless in losing to the Raiders last weekend.
The Dolphins are still lingering on the edge of the playoff picture while the Bills have fallen from relevance, if they ever really were. Doesn’t make for fantastic action but at least these teams are division rivals.

Buffalo
The Bills had their annual game in Toronto last week and it was nothing to be proud of. They got spanked by Seattle and now hit the road to play Miami with nothing to play for other than pride.
Is this the kind of team you think will give a max effort under those circumstances? Will they play hard to try and save their coach?…
Though C.J. Spiller went over 1000 yards with another nice game the Bills struggled on offense.
QB Ryan Fitzpatrick had another uneven game, throwing more picks than touchdown passes while completing just 55% of his passes. It seems that the investment the Bills made in him was a poor one and there is already talk about them finding a new QB this offseason…
In a game where they gave up 50 points you can’t pin it all on the offense.
After the terrible performance last week they are now second worst in the league in points allowed. The only saving grace is that Miami is hardly an offensive powerhouse.
This one should be close.
Miami [soliloquy id=”82219″]
The Dolphins are clinging to a sliver of playoff hope right now. They need to win out and get a lot of help but it is still possible…technically. This is all pretty amazing given they have won just 2 of their last 7 games.
Last week’s victory against Jacksonville was hardly the stuff of legend either as Jacksonville is probably the worst team in the league…
A good sign was that QB Ryan Tannehill has the best game of his rookie season to date. Helped by a solid running game, including his own scampers, Tannehill completed nearly 80% of his passes and didn’t turn the ball over.
Reggie Bush had his first 100 yard game since week 2 and that was all that was needed to beat a very weak Jaguars team…
Miami has covered their last three at home and this is another good situation to back the Phish.
They have way more riding on this game than their opponent and their 8th ranked rush defense should make things difficult for Buffalo.
You might want to pay a little extra to get Miami at -3 but I still like them at the current number.
Spread Pick: Miami -4
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: Miami 26 – Buffalo 20
This is always a highly anticipated game with last year’s brouhaha only adding to the lore of the series.
Conference USA vs the Sun Belt in some exciting bowl action. Nothing new to be playing this time of year for East Carolina who I think will be in the “Big East” this time next season. Watch out for the Cajuns who are playing in their own backyard.
A very interesting game due to recent events. Can the Colts really be this good and are the Texans as good as we thought. Those are questions everyone wants answered and they get a chance to settle this on the field.
Little going on in this matchup other than wondering whether Chargers coach can survive the season. Last week’s win provide a stay of execution but a loss to the visiting Panthers might be too hard to ignore.
A couple of real Super Bowl contenders square off in this late season inter-conference showdown. The Pats are red hot and San Fran will look to slow them down with one of the league’s best defenses.
Hugely important tilt in the NFC North. The Bears need it more than the Packers do in case anyone was questioning motivations. Hoping for some “nice” weather to spice things up that much more.
