AFC West Have-Nots Do Battle in Week 15 – Chiefs at Raiders
Two of the worst teams in the worst division in the NFL will try to save a little face when the 2-11 Kansas City Chiefs pay visit to the 3-10 Oakland Raiders in Week 15. Both teams have been seriously underwhelming all season long – the only silver lining being the fact that both are destined to get a high pick in the 2013 draft.
Surging Seahawks Look to Stay in Control of Wild Card Against Buffalo in Week 15
The Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills do battle in Toronto this weekend with one team looking toward the post season and the other looking toward next season. The Seattle Seahawks will look to make it three wins in a row Sunday and will hope to maintain control of the NFC Wild Card picture while the Bills assume their all-too-familiar spoiler role.
Battle of Fledgling Florida Teams – Jags Head to Miami in Week 15
The plummeting Miami Dolphins host the worst team in the NFL this Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars pay visit in a battle for Florida bragging rights. Both teams seem to have some puzzle pieces in place and both teams will be evaluating talent for next season’s roster so there is still plenty to play for. It may not be the most exciting game of the weekend but there are still jobs on the line.
Red-Hot Broncos Face Ice Cold Ravens in Week 15
Division leaders clash in Baltimore Sunday as the Denver Broncos, winners of eight straight games take on the suddenly struggling Baltimore Ravens, losers of two straight games ahead of this Week 15 showdown. While the Broncos have been impressive on both sides of the ball the last couple of months the Ravens have been slightly underwhelming as demonstrated by their two straight defeats.
Who’s Losing Streak Will End Sunday? Lions Travel to Arizona in Week 15
Two teams on significant losing streaks will try to snap their funks when the Detroit Lions head to the desert to take on the lowly Arizona Cardinals. For Detroit, they will be looking to put an end to a five game losing streak while the Cardinals will hope to end an ugly nine game skid that culminated with a 58-0 loss at Seattle in Week 14.
NFL teams that fancy themselves as contenders in what for 14 weeks looked like a wide-open Super Bowl race are like Transylvanian villagers today, seeing a light on again in Dracula’s castle after New England’s staggering 42-14 smackdown of the Houston Texans on Monday night.
The Eagles will not be making the playoffs are their hugely disappointing season, but at least they are coming off a win, which snapped their 8-game losing streak.
You gotta love the NFL! Another scintillating weekend has passed and as per usual there is some significant movement in the Power Rankings. There is a new #1 along with some serious risers and fallers on the charts. Still, the AFC dominates the top spots with the top NFC teams appearing in second tier of this week’s Power Rankings.
The Chargers are doing their usual disappointment dance while Pittsburgh has been hanging in there without Big Ben. He is supposed to return and with him comes very strong playoff hopes.
Is anyone going to score in this one. This game features two of the worst offensive teams in the league, one with nothing to play for, the other with little to play for. Exciting Stuff.

New York Jets
The Jets win last week, 7-6 against Arizona, had to be one of the ugliest games you will see all season long. The good news for New York fans is that the Jets have won two of their last three, the bad news is that they are embroiled in an expected QB controversy.
I believe Mark Sanchez is still technically the starter but for how much longer…The sad thing is that he still probably gives this team the best chance to win. It might be interesting to see them give local hero Tim Tebow the start this week though.

Odds are he would have some success as there is no way Jacksonville would have a lot installed for his type play.
The Jets defense should be able to handle whatever Jacksonville throws at them…At 6-6 ATS the Jets are a miserable team to try and predict and there is no pattern in their behaviour really when it comes to home, road, favourite or underdog.
This team is just plain mediocre though that should be good enough this weekend.
Jacksonville
The Jags couldn’t keep up their winning ways last week losing without putting up much of a fight against Buffalo on the road. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
This roster is light on talent and has been made even thinner thanks to numerous injuries.
Even though they are playing New York it is surprising they are getting as much respect as they are – just a 3 point dog…T
he Jags have shown a little bit of life with QB Chad Henne at the helm and the coaching staff is already saying he could be the starter next season depending on how things turn out. Top rusher Maurice Jones Drew might have been able to find some room now that the passing game is more competent but he is still sidelined and might not play again this season…
When they are large dogs the Jags have risen to the occasion but in scenarios like these they have been just as likely to roll over as not.
Even at home you have to be careful picking a team like Jacksonville because they just don’t put many points on the board.
At -3, no way but it if creep higher, against the Jets…
Maybe.
Spread Pick: New York -3
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: New York 24 – Jacksonville 20
Even though these teams are in the same state they haven’t met since 2008. Baltimore is the vastly more experienced team but Washington is hotter coming into this one.
The top and bottom of the NFC South square off in Carolina. Could be a letdown situation for the Falcons who got the Saints monkey off their back in Prime Time last Thursday night.
The Rams and Bills are still in the playoff race, but the loser of this non-conference game can kiss their playoff hopes goodbye.
The Bengals have won 4 straight and are now tied with the Steelers for 2nd place in the AFC North and they are in the playoff picture. The same goes for the Cowboys, who are tied with the Redskins for 2nd place in the NFC East and only trail the Giants by 1 game.
The Colts have been one of the surprising teams in the league this season and they are 8-4 on the season and 5-1 at home. Indy has won 2 straight and 6 of their last 7 and on top of that they already beat the Titans in their house a few weeks back.
The Bears have lost 3 of their last 4 games and with their slide they are tied with the Packers for first place in the NFC North.
