Hall of Famer
Week 14 is here and we have now reached the final four of the regular season. Only four games left to determine who is dining in January and who is left out in the cold, harsh winter with hopes a return to the playoffs is near. Division Titles and Byes await under the tree but for whom? The Chiefs hope to knock us off and dash our division hopes in order to keep New England away from the top seed in the AFC. The Broncos look to take advantage of an easier schedule en route to a surprising playoff appearance, the Eagles keep their NFC East hopes alive for another week and Oakland goes for it all as the Tank Bowl reaches its epic conclusion and the potential prize of Nick Bosa awaits come Spring.
Jaguars @ Titans: Jaguars, we thank you for your service against the Colts but need you again this week to topple the Titans. Unfortunately, Thursday Night Football favors the home teams on short weeks unless your the Raiders who get shell shocked by Nick Mullens. The Titans are hoping to win out and for us to take over the division so both wild card spots open up, but will the Jaguars come through again after holding Luck and company to just 6 points last week or will the Titans come through with a clutch victory late in the season?
Jets @ Bills: The Jets are currently the owner of the third overall pick and a win here would mess that draft position up just like we hope the Raiders do so as well. Buffalo has played well late in the season, and already are cutting dead weight in Kelvin Benjamin and Andre Holmes. Expect Buffalo to win here and give their fans hope of a playoff return in 2019.
Panthers @ Browns: The Panthers are clinging on to their playoff hopes at this point after losing four straight games. They need a win against Baker Mayfield and the Browns in order to keep their hopes alive before the Saints crush that dream in a Monday Night game in week 15. Unfortunately, they have a 1-5 road record and need to turn their road fortunes upside down in Cleveland.
Falcons @ Packers: @Ice Bowl you can rejoice, Mike McCarthy is no longer the Head Coach of the Packers and in a crazy amount of scenarios that need to happen, can still win the division. Atlanta heads to the frozen tundra after a double digit loss last week at home and look to make something of what's left of their 2018 season.
Patriots @ Dolphins: Miami vs New England in December, in Miami. The Pats seem to struggle in Miami come December, as they lost last year to a Jay Cutler led Dolphins team on MNF. All the Pats losses this season have come on the road, and the Dolphins look to keep that streak in tact and add another road loss to their loss column. The Pats can't take another loss if they want to eventually overtake the Chiefs if they slip up(damn it, we help New England if we win so come on Miami!).
Saints @ Buccaneers: Remember week one when everyone said take the Saints in Survivor Pool, the Bucs are awful. Then Fitzmagic happened, then came Fitztragic. Now Winston is playing his best football of the season in recent weeks(figures just in time before we face them) and could once again shock everyone and beat the Saints, delivering a blow to their number one seed aspirations.
Giants @ Redskins: Is this officially a Tank Bowl? The Giants shocked the Bears last week in OT and should continue to hurt their draft stock with a win over the Mark Sanchez led Redskins. OBJ will be out for this game but I expect the Redskins to keep it close but Big Blue to win in the end.
Colts @ Texans: The Texans look for their 10th straight win against divisional rival Colts. Thanks to the Titans winning, the Texans can no longer clinch the AFC South with a win. Can the Colts get back on track and snap the nine game winning streak of the Texans?
Bengals @ Chargers: Could both the Chargers and Chiefs fall into the AFC North trap? They meet on Thursday Night but could overlook the Bengals and Ravens and potentially get upset this weekend. The Broncos have already upset the Chargers, could a Jeff Driskel led Bengals team do so?
Broncos @ 49ers: The Broncos look to once again take advantage of their weak schedule and make a late run toward the playoffs. The 49ers look to play spoiler and dash any hopes of a playoff run.
Eagles @ Cowboys: The Cowboys can get one step closer to the NFC East title with a sweep of the Eagles on Sunday. The Eagles can stay within range of the Cowboys in order to snatch the division title from them in the final weeks with a win. Dallas held Drew Brees and company to just 10 points but can they contain Carson Wentz and company as they look for another divisional win?
Steelers @ Raiders: The Steelers have not won in Oakland in the past three visits to California. Unfortunately Jon Gruden may be enough to allow the Steelers to get one final win in Oakland before the move to Vegas. James Conner is already out for this game which is huge for the Raiders. If the Raiders can pull off the upset, it may be a costly one for the Steelers.
Lions @ Cardinals: TANK BOWL! The Lions head west to Arizona to take on Josh Rosen and the Cardinals in a battle of draft pick supremacy.
Rams @ Bears: This is a game that has NFC seeding implications on the line. If the Bears win, and the Rams lose another game or two, they could take the BYE week away from the Rams. If the Bears lose, then the Rams clinch a first round bye. Who will come out on top in this NFC showdown?
Vikings @ Seahawks: Kirk Cousins doesn't have a good prime time record, Seattle is at home and have the momentum on their side. Monday Night brings us Wild Card implications as both teams are fighting for the last two spots in the NFC playoff picture. The time is now for the Kirk Cousins investment to pay off, a huge road win to get them into the playoffs is what the Vikings need from Santa this Christmas.
Jaguars @ Titans: Jaguars, we thank you for your service against the Colts but need you again this week to topple the Titans. Unfortunately, Thursday Night Football favors the home teams on short weeks unless your the Raiders who get shell shocked by Nick Mullens.
