NFL WEEK 16 PREVIEW



















ABSOLUTELY HUGE games this week in the NFL. With the top seed and home field throught on the line in the NFC and AFC. Plus the wildcards in both conferences still haven't been decided with a boatload of teams still in the hunt. Only doing the important games this week.
Last Week-8-6
Overall- 90-46
Baltimore at Dallas- Both teams clinging to wildcard spots at this moment but they have very tenuous leads. The Ravens D was unbelievable until that last drive by Big Ben and the Steelers and probably feel they got robbed and will come out pissed off. The Cowboys are coming off a big win vs the Giants and are closing their stadium. Romo is hurting and I'm sure he'll get even more beat up in this one facing the blitz of the Ravens so that is something to watch. Marion Barber will not be 100 percent so they can't rely on him. Being a Jets fan I'll be voting for the Boys and I think they'll pull it off in a close one. Cowboys 23-16
New Orleans at Detroit- Not important but 0-16! 0-16! Saints in a laugher.
Pittsburgh at Tennessee- The Steelers have run the gauntlet. They have only had breaks in the schedule when they had to play the Browns and Bengals and thats only because they're in their divison. The Steelers D is one of the best I've ever seen and Big Ben makes the plays to help his team win. The Titans don't really scare me at all and I don't think they are even that great of a team no matter what their record is. I mean their QB is Kerry Collins. Steelers 20-16
Miami at K.C.- Here's an upset for ya. The Chiefs have lost 7 games this year by 4 points or less. Seven. They are coming off a horrible loss when they were leading 21-10 with about 2 or 3 minutes remaining at home against San Diego. They will be angry. Keep in mind the Dolphins have won games vs Seattle 21-19, vs Oakland 17-15 vs St. Louis 16-12 and vs S.F. 14-9. Not exactly dominating. They will also be playing in the cold for the first time all year. Thigpen can make some plays. He'll make enough. Chiefs 16-13
Arizona at New England- Semi upset. The Cards have to have some pride in their somewhere right? They have clinched and all but they really don't want to finish 8-8 and make the playoffs do they? They will be 3 games worse than some teams that didn't get in. Cards 24-21
San Diego at Tampa Bay- Chargers stay alive another week. Chargers 28-23
New York Jets at Seattle- 1-3 on the West Coast!! Seattle is too hurt. Jets 31-20
Buffalo at Denver- Come on Buffalo give us a playoff game in Week 17. If the Chargers win and Broncos lose we will have what is essentially a playoff game in S.D. vs Denver for the AFC West Title. Bills 21-20
Philly at Washington- I really really hope 2 of Dallas, Atlanta, or Philly get in. No boring Bucs or Bears please. Eagles 26-13
Atlanta at Minnesota- Can Matt Ryan win another tough road game? Yes he can. Falcons 24-17
Carolina at New York Giants- I still believe in the Giants. Giants 20-17 P.S. It might be snowing.
Green Bay at Chicago- Chicago will stay alive for another week. Bears

NFL WEEK 15 PREVIEW

Great week of football with some absolutely HUGE games on the schedule. The playoff race will look a little clearer on Monday morning. Some teams will be essentailly eliminated while others will take a step closer to the playoffs.

Tampa Bay at Atlanta- one of those HUGE games. Atlanta needs this one more than Tampa does and it would be diffucult for them to get in if they lose. Tampa got run down by DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart of the Panthers on MNF and will now have to deal with Michael Turner of ATL. I think you will see a lot of Turner and small doses of Matt Ryan who struggled against Tampa when they first played. Falcons 24-21

Washington at Cincy- Washington will win but they are done. Redskins 17-10

Detroit at Indy- No shot for Lions. They are goin 0-16. Colts 37-6

San Diego at K.C.- Hey dont count the Chargers out QUITE yet. The Broncos have the Panthers and Bills next, two games that are not gimmes and then face the Chargers on the last day of the season. If the Broncos lose those two and the Chargers win their next two vs K.C. and at Tampa that game will be for the divison. Not sayin it will happen but it isn't impossible. Chargers 28-17

Seattle at St. Louis- UGHHHHHH. Seahawks win it.

San Fransisco at Miami- Miami doesn't dominate any games, almost all their wins were decided by one possession. They have defeated crappy teams lately with scores like 16-12 and 17-15. While the Niners are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Shaun Hill has been playing great and Mike Singeltary has got his team playing hard. I think the Niners will win and ensure Singeltary will be back for next year. Niners 20-17

Buffalo at Jets- Jets win out and they win the AFC East and get the Number 3 seed because the Broncos aren't going to go 3-0 with how inconsistent they are. It's as simple as that. The Jets have games vs Bills, at Seahawks, and vs Dolphins, those aren't exactly an imtimidating slate of games. The Bills have no offense whatsoever, especially with JP Losman at QB, where he will be Sunday afternoon. Favre has already stated he expects the Jets will be playing in January and this pessimistic Jet fan thinks they will too. Jets 27-13

Tennessee at Houston- The Texans have an explosive offense and are a pretty good team but the Titans are just too physical a team and should run all over the Texans. It will be a close one though. Titans 24-21

Green Bay at Jacksonville- Wow at the beginning of the year who would have thought this game would mean absolutely nothing. Packers win it.

Minnesota at Arizona- Pretty large game for seeding in the NFC playoffs, although the Vikings dont quite have their divison wrapped up yet. I think the Vikes will eventually find a way to get in. Their QB situation is currently up in the air though as Gus Frerrote is injured and Tarvaris Jackson is at QB. That's not a good thing for them as they'll have to be able to score points to beat the Cards. Cards 28-20

Denver at Carolina- Carolina is just playing too well right now and the Broncos are down to their 7th RB. Panthers 24-23

Pittsburgh at Baltimore- Monster game here. Ravens win AFC South is tied. Steelers win they clinch the division. Should be a low scoring smash mouth game. Inexperience on Joe Flacco's part with be the difference. Steelers 16-13

New England at Oakland- UPSET! Matt Cassell has got to be crushed about the death of his father and playing football just a few days after should be extremely diffucult. The Raiders D isn't horrible and I think they'll force enough TO's by Cassel to pull it off. Raiders 17-13

Giants at Dallas- Game means more for Dallas and with Jacobs out they'll win it even with the stupidness of T.O. in the back of their minds. Dallas 26-21

Cleveland at Philly- Philly's hot.

NFL WEEK 14 PREVIEW

Last Week-8-5
Overall-73-35

A shitty slate of games this week but most of them have a team in it thats fighting for a playoff spot.

Jaguars at Chicago- Da Bears in a not so close won. Bears

Minnesota at Detroit- Lions are goin 0-16. Vikes

Houston at Green Bay- Packs D has sucked but thier offense has enough to beat Hou. Packers

Cleveland at Titans- Ken Dorsey= Titans blowout. Titans

Atlanta at New Orleans- Saints are pretty much done. Falcons

Philadelphia at Giants- Not picking against the Giants. G-Men

K.C. at Denver- Beat the Jets should beat KC- Broncos

Miami at Buffalo- I got Buffalo staying alive in Toronto even if its JP Losman at QB. Bills

Jets at S.F.- Favre should have a big day. Jets

New England at Seattle- No shot for the Hawks- Pats

St. Louis at Arizona- Zona clinches. Cards

Dallas at Pittsburgh- Huge game. Supposed to be 26 and snowing at Heinz Field tomorow. Cowboys need a win cuz the Giants are comin to town next week and are in a dog fight for one of the two wildcard spots with whoever doesn't win the NFC South. The Steelers are fighting for playoff positioning with the Jets right on their tails. Marion Barber is out for this one which is huge considering the snowy conditions. But the Boys wouldn't have been able to run on the Steelers D anyway. Look for Romo to throw it 50 some times to victory. I know its not ideal in the snow but look what Cutler did in the rainy Meadowlands last week. Cowboys in an upset

Washington at Baltimore- I really like Joe Flacco's arm. Especially on the deep ball. All of a sudden the Ravens have a really good offense. Along with Flacco's arm they have a three headed rushing attack that is very productive. Their D is awesome as always as well. Not very impressed with Skins either. Ravens win it

Tampa Bay at Carolina- This is a game that qualifies to be on MNF. Not two 4-7 teams playing for nothing. Whoever wins this game gets the NFC South title. Its as simple as that. The loser will have to scratch and claw with the Falcons and Cowboys for a wildcard spot. I'm not sold on the Bucs and just don't think they have enough offense and I like Carolina's offense a whole lot better. Panthers win.
