NFL Week 14

TheDawgPound72 · 12-08-2004, 11:11 PM

A lot of crucial games will be played this weekend, with a lot of teams still in playoff contention:

Oakland at Atlanta- Atlanta won't lose two in a row, with Vick having a huge game and Oakland not being able to get anything started. Blowout- Falcons

NY Giants at Baltimore- The Giants are a struggling team right now under Eli Manning, and one of the last teams they'd like to face would be the Ravens. Expect basically no offensive output from either teams, but the Ravens defense will propel them to victory.

Cleveland at Buffalo- Cleveland's defense has been terrible lately, and we don't even know who will start at QB for the Browns. The Bills have been a hot team, finally playing up to potential. Edge- Bills

New Orleans at Dallas- With Dallas showing something and making a great comeback against the choke artists of the NFC Seatlle Seahawks, they should be able to win a close win against New Orleans. If Testaverde can limit picks, and Jones can run for 100+, they should have an easy win.

Chicago at Jacksonville- The Jags are on a tough three game losing streak, with a tough loss to the Steelers on a 60 yd field goal going wide right. Hutchinson led the Bears to victory, but the Bears just don't have enough to beat the Jags. They seem to almost always come through, and this will be another week this will apply.

Indianapolis at Houston- Not much has to be said here. Even though the Texans are a good team, no one can compete with the Colts right now. Manning's been the best player in football this year, and don't expect that to stop now. Expect...everyone on the Colts to have a big game.

Seattle at Minnesota- Seattles been very dissapointing this year, and that will continue this weekend against the Vikes. They find ways to lose games, and this will be one of those weeks.

Cincinnati at New England- New England has been unbeatable lately, and they won't slow down in demolishing the Bengals. The D will cause problems for Palmer all day, and the Bengals will have minimal offensive output. Expect 10 points to be able to win this game for the Pats.

Miami at Denver- A.J. Feeley has showed some good things this year, but they are outnumbered heavily by all of the mistakes. Denver's had two dissapointing loses the last few weeks, and Plummer will bring his A game to the field. The only question about this game is who Miami will draft next year.

NY Jets at Pittsburgh- The Steelers will be a very hard team to beat on any Sunday. Roethlisberger has been very effecient, and the running game would provide problems for any defense. The Jets are a good team, but they won't have enough offense to overcome the Steelers.

Detroit at Green Bay- Green Bay was demolished last week by the Eagles in front of a national TV audience. Don't expect this again. Favre had a rare off week, and you shouldn't expect one this week. Detroit, who seemed unbeatable at the beginning of the season, has collapsed and this should be an easy win for the Pack.

San Fransisco at Arizona- Not too much to say about this game. Two teams that have had a lot of problems this year are featured here. However, Arizona's a very hard working team, and is a lot better then their record and change of QBs shows. San Fransisco will be without Rattay and Barlow, so expect Arizona to win this one.

St. Louis at Carolina- Carolina's been very good as of late, and don't expect this to stop now. The Rams will start Chandler, and are likely to miss Faulk for another week. Steven Jackson's a really good replacement, but he's bruised up and won't be at 100%. Nick Goings has emerged as a strong back for the Panthers, and he will keep it up this weekend.

Tampa Bay at San Diego- After crushing the Falcons, the Buc stops here. San Diego has been the most surprising team in the NFL, and the players really play hard for Brees. Antonio Gates has been superb and Tomlinson has had another phenominal season. The Chargers go from being one of the worst to a respectable franchise in a year. Man, i love football.

Philadephia at Washington- McNabb and Owens have both enjoyed great seasons this year, and Brian Westbrook is very underrated. They will not dissapoint against the Redskins, and will show dominance like they have all season.

Kansas City at Tennessee- With McNair or Volek, the Titans will win this one. They have been battling injuries lately, but so have the Chiefs. Bennett had a big game last week, and he will have another one this week.

Its amazing how many teams can get in the playoffs even with the records they have, like the Jaguars, Bills, Cowboys and alot more. I couldnt help to notice your hoping the Colts win this year, Manning is doing very good, but I wont believe they will win until they beat my favorite team the Patriots, they just didnt do it yet. See what happens this year.

Even with Rattay and Barlow you could expect Arizona to win, the way the 49ers are playing right now. Hell, Jesus and the Apostles could suit up for the Niners and it probably wouldn't make a difference. It'll probably be a close game but there didn't seem to be much spirit (offensively) from San Francisco last week, which is never a good sign.

The Jets/Steelers game is going to be a damn good win. Although I do agree with you that the Steelers will come out on top in this one.

Yea the NFC is a sad joke this year. Although I am a Dallas fan I still think it's sad they have a chance with their record. Doesn't matter, no one in the NFC can beat the Eagles.

Oakland at Atlanta - Has anyone else noticed that Norv Turner is a terrible coach?

NY Giants at Baltimore - Benching Warner in the middle of a potential playoff run in the terrible NFC was a big mistake.

Cleveland at Buffalo - Cleveland isn't very good, Buffalo has been playing pretty well.

New Orleans at Dallas - See above.

Chicago at Jacksonville - Would be surprised if the Bears manage to put double digits up this week.

Indianapolis at Houston - He's going to tie Marino this week.

Seattle at Minnesota - Two teams with less heart combined than the Grinch pre roast beast. Is it possible for both teams to choke this off?

Cincinnati at New England - Patriots are good, FYI.

Miami at Denver - Dolphins are terrible.

NY Jets at Pittsburgh - Upset of the week.

Detroit at Green Bay - Detroit's not playing well, Packers will bounce back from the trouncing last week.

San Fransisco at Arizona - The 49ers found a way to actually be worse than the Dolphins.

St. Louis at Carolina - Panthers more likely to make the playoffs than the Rams? Not if the Seahawks have anything to say about it!

Tampa Bay at San Diego - Can the Chiefs have Marty back? Pretty please??

Philadelphia at Washington - Eagles are the only legitimate threat in the entire NFC.

Kansas City at Tennessee - MNF scores another winner.

Im stickin with the Jags

I really dont give a shit, but the game of the week to watch is Jets vs Steelers. Its going to be a great game and will show if the Jets are truley a team to be reckoned with or not.
