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.
