Week 14 NFL Games - Previews and Predictions
By:

There are plenty of quality football games this weekend highlighted by the Saints-Panthers and Seahawks-Panthers games. Don't overlook some of the other games with major playoff implications: the outcome of the Colts-Bengals, Lions-Eagles, Rams-Cardinals, Dolphins-Steelers and Giants-Chargers games will also have a great deal to do with the final playoff seedings.

I am rooting for the Colts to beat the Bengals. Actually I am rooting for the Bengals to lose so many games down the stretch that the Ravens win the division even if they lose to us in Week 15.

Ideally, I would dream of a Broncos loss so that we could get the #1 seed. But, I've seen their schedule: Titans, Chargers, @Texans, @Raiders

So with Denver almost penned in ink for the #1 seed and Kansas City for the #5 seed. And rooting for the Patriots to get a bye with the #2 seed...

Denver
New England
Indy
Baltimore
Kansas City
Cincinnati/Miami

This way we get a bye week and then the Colts, who haven't looked great since Reggie Wayne went to IR. And Denver gets the winner of Baltimore/KC in the cold. We could end up with another home AFC championship game or have to head to Denver.

So, it all boils down to rooting against the Bengals and after this week also against the Colts.

If Denver loses and we slide into the #1 seed, that would change a lot of things, then I'd want Indy to fall to the 4 seed since I think they will be the easiest of the division winners given the falloff in their play mid-season.

i think most of us want the colts to win this one...colts are a very weak team and will lose again this year

Colts @ Chiefs (Week 15)

Other than that they have home games against Texans and Jags. So, if they beat the Bengals, they probably end up 11-5.

Sill torn about Clots - Bungles; too bad they can't both lose.
And I really, really don't want to see the RatBirds win any more games.

Tie???????

The Titans have a really underrated defense. Them & the Chargers are our last hope (if any) to give the Broncos 1 more loss. Maybe Bernard Pollard could lay a nasty hit on Manning for us.

I'll actually be rooting for the Colts and Ravens tomorrow as I'll be betting on them. Ravens just have to win straight up and the Colts are +13 (can lose by 13 points and I'll be ok) in my other bet

I don't understand why people want the 1 seed.

Better chance to play baltimore or KC over some shmucks

It is bone crunching cold out there today. Man, I hope the Pats stay relatively unscathed in the injury dept.

I don't think they have in every game this year. Seems like someone is always gonna be injured and it sucks. But knocking on wood that no injuries happen.

lions with 6 fumbles in first 20 min

[Pessimistic Pete]

Wow, as awful as today seemed, the Patriots could end the day as the #1 seed.

Titans currently leading the Broncos 14-10. Not that I at all expect that to hold up, but better than I thought it'd start...

 

[JMarr]

I almost want TENN. to win more so that they can possibly knock the gutless, overrated Colts out of the playoffs. And if the Ravens make the PO's this year, there's no justice in this world. What a ridiculously overrated and inconsistent team, QB and coach.

 

[FrodoBagginz]

Looks like SD is up 10-0 over the Giants. Go Chargers! And Tenn is up over the Broncos 21-10.

 

[102 Pat]

F-Yeah, 21-10 Titans!!! (Please note from a previous thread, I am celebrating the win and will mourn, gloom/doom Gronk's injury tomorrow)

 

[PATRlOT]

I almost bet on the Titans! LOL

 

[PatsFan24]

Titans vs Broncos game thread

Titans are up 21-10 in the second! A Denver loss would push the Patriots into the top spot in the AFC!

 

[JMC00]

Oh screw off Antonio Brown.

Would have been nice having the AFC East locked up going into Miami next week.
