Miami Dolphins (5-5) @ Buffalo Bills (3-7)
» Last meeting: The Dolphins rushed for three touchdowns in a 38-10 clobbering of the Bills in Week 4.
» Streaks: Miami has won three in a row and has a 52-37-1 overall series edge (including playoffs).
The Miami Dolphins are coming off a close win on Thursday Night Football against the tough Carolina Panthers to keep their playoff hopes alive. In that game, Ricky Williams was the starting RB and had a 3 TD game. Meanwhile, Buffalo just fired their coach and are looking to rebuild. They are coming off a disappointing loss late in the 4th quarter to Jacksonville (6-4). Miami ranks 4th in rushing and Buffalo ranks 31st in run D. Also, Miami ranks 4th in sacks and Buffalo's QB, Fitzpatrick, has given up 53 sacks so far this year due to their injured o-line. T.O. did have a big game and looks to have a successful game against Miami's rookie secondary. I'd take Miami by 10 points.
*We're all Dolphin fans, we need us to win* :crazy:
New England Patriots (7-3) @ New Orleans Saints (10-0)
» Last meeting: The Patriots outlasted the Saints, 24-17, thanks to three touchdown passes from Tom Brady and a Eugene Wilson interception in the end zone as time expired in Week 11 of 2005.
» Streaks: New England has won three straight meetings and owns an 8-3 overall series lead.
The New England Patriots are coming off an easy win over their rivals, the New York Jets. Their D in that game created 5 turnovers and Wes Welker had a huge game. Meanwhile, the Saints are also coming off an easy win over their rivals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints and the Patriots are the 2 best offensive teams in the league, while the Patriots have the better pass D. The Saint's secondary is banged up and looks to pressure Brady to avoid him having a field day. The Saints are undefeated at the Super Dome, so I'd take the Saints on Monday Night Football in a close game by 3 points. It could be a 75 point game.
*We need the Patriots to lose for the division title* :hump:
Carolina Panthers (4-6) @ New York Jets (4-6)
» Last meeting: Carolina's defense forced six turnovers as the Panthers defeated the Jets, 30-3, on Nov. 13, 2005.
» Streaks: The overall series is tied 2-2.
The New York Jets are coming off a big loss to their rivals, the New England Patriots. In that game, their rookie QB, Mark Sanchez, threw for 4 picks. Meanwhile, the Panthers are coming off a close loss to the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football. In that game, Carolina was ran over, but also had a nice running game. New York's run D is average and Carolina's run offense is 3rd in the league. Both teams are hanging on to their playoff dreams by a think thread. Who ever loses this game is pretty much eliminated from the playoffs. Carolina has the better offense, while the Jets have a better D. Carolina ranks 3rd in rushing, while New York ranks 2nd, so whoever wins the rushing battle, wins the game. That should be the Jets because Carolina has one of the worst run D in the league. I'd take the New York Jets at home in a close game.
*We need the Jets to lose, but they have no effect on us as we already swept them*
Cleveland Browns (1-9) @ Cincinnati Bengals (7-3)
» Last meeting: Shayne Graham's 31-yard field goal barely sailed inside the upright late in overtime to give the Bengals a 23-20 victory over the Browns in Week 4.
» Streaks: Cincinnati has won eight of the past 10 and has a narrow 37-35 overall series edge.
Last week, The Browns committed pass interference on a desperation pass by the Lions as time expired and gave up the winning touchdown on an untimed down in a loss to Detroit. Meanwhile, The Bengals gave up 10 points in the final minute and lost in a upset to Oakland, 20-17. Cleveland ranks in the bottom in the league in almost every category. Cincinnati has the 2nd best run D and the 7th best rushing attack. Cincinnati should go 6-0 in their division and easily defeat the Browns, but if the Browns offense plays like they did last week, this game could be closer than people think, especially with Cin.'s inconsistency this year.
*We need the Browns to win for the wild card.* :lol2:
Indianapolis Colts (10-0) @ Houston Texans (5-5)
» Last meeting: Kris Brown missed a field goal as time expired, giving the Colts a 20-17 win just three weeks ago.
» Streaks: Indianapolis has a 14-1 record against Houston.
The Colts were once again able to repel a serious challenge to their unbeaten record, beating the Ravens, 17-15. Meanwhile, Texan's kicker, Brown, missed yet another field goal as time expired in a 20-17 loss to the Titans on Monday Night Football. Both teams have average defenses, but Indy has great pass rushers. Both teams rank in the top 3 worse run offenses, but top 3 in best passing offense (Indy ranks 1st). Both teams have avergae pass D's, so it's going to be another shootout. The Colts should pull out a win, but it's going to come down to the wire.
*We need the Colts to win, so Houston falls to 5-6 in the wild card race* :err:
Kansas City (3-7) @ San Diego Chargers (7-3)
» Last meeting: Philip Rivers passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns as the Chargers throttled the Chiefs, 37-7, a month ago.
» Streaks: San Diego has won four in a row, but trails the overall series, 50-47-1, including the playoffs.
Going into Denver proved to be no problem for soaring San Diego as it won, 32-3. Meanwhile, Kansas City pulled off a stunning upset, beating Pittsburgh, 27-24, in overtime. San Diego has won 5 in a row, while Kansas City could be a trap game for them. It should be an easy win for the Chargers to keep away Denver for the lead of the division, but Kansas City could play spoiler. San Diego has one of the best offenses in the league, while Kansas City has one of the worst defenses. I'll take the Chargers by 2 TD's.
*We need the Chargers to actually win so they remain division champs, since they hold the tie-breaker over us due to our week 3 loss*
Jacksonville Jaguars (6-4) @ San Fransisco 49'ers (4-6)
» Last meeting: David Garrard had a rushing touchdown to lead Jacksonville past San Francisco, 10-9, on Dec. 17, 2005.
» Streaks: The Jaguars have won both meetings against the 49ers.
Last week, Jacksonville rallied for a late touchdown to beat Buffalo, 18-15. Meanwhile, San Francisco's comeback attempt fell short in Green Bay as the Niners lost, 30-24. Since starting 3-1, the 49'ers have gone 1-5 in their last 6 games. While Jax has been finding ways to win since their lackluster start. This is Jax's first trip to San Fransisco (across the country), so that gives the niners a big advantage. Both teams have average defenses and offenses, but both teams rank top 10 in rush offense. Since it's a home game for the desperate 49'ers and their run D ranks 6th best in the league, I'd take the niners in a close game.
*We need the Jags to lose for the Wild Card, even though we play them for it in week 14.* :d-day:
Arizona Cardinals (7-3) @ Tennessee Titans (4-6)
» Last meeting: David Macklin returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown as Arizona handled Tennessee, 20-10, on Oct. 23, 2005.
» Streaks: The Cardinals have won five of the eight all-time meetings.
Last week, Arizona held on for a 21-13 victory at St. Louis, while Tennessee went into Houston and left with a 20-17 win. Since starting 0-6, the Titans have won 4 straight and look to play spoiler at home agaisnt the Kurt Warner and the Cardinals. Arizona has a average defense and a pass only offense, while the Titans have the 31st worst pass D and the 29th worst pass offense. However, Ten. does have the #1 rush offense in the league and they play Arizona (who ranks #7) that got ran over by Carolina. I'd take Arizona at home because their pass offense to good for the Titan's D, but it should be close
*We need the Cardinals to win to keep the Titans out of the playoff race and have something to play for when we play them*
Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) @ Baltimore Ravens (5-5)
» Last meeting: The Steelers beat the Ravens for a third time last season in the AFC Championship Game, winning 23-14.
» Streaks: Pittsburgh has won three of four and has an 18-10 overall series edge, including the playoffs.
Last week, the Steelers were stunned in Kansas City, losing 27-24 in overtime. Meanwhile, the Ravens could not punch it into the end zone and lost to the Colts, 17-15. Big Ben has a concussion, while Flacco has been very frustrating in the last 3 weeks. The Steeler's D ranks #1 against the run and #1 against people getting yards, while the Ravens ranks #5 in run D and 9th in yards allowed. Since both teams have average run offenses and elite run D's, they will look to pass. Both of them rank in the teens in pass D, but the Steelers rank 5th in passing over the Raven's 15th rank in passing. I'd take the Ravens at home over the Steelers because Big Ben is not playing and I don't see the Ravens getting swept.
*You could say we need the Steelers to lose, but we play them, so I'd want the Ravens to lose to put them at 5-6 and make their playoff hopes harder.*
