Old School Meets New School
As long as Tom Brady is quarterbacking, it really doesn’t matter who he throws the football to.The Patriots look to respond after their first loss of the season and have a pretty good chance at home against the struggling Eagles. Brady just doesn’t like to lose, and it doesn’t happen often. He’s 40-8 in games following a defeat over his career....
While we don’t see Peyton Manning being Wally Pipp-ed in Denver, the Brock Osweiler era has gotten off to a nice start.The Broncos are 2-0 under their new quarterback, and after knocking off the previously undefeated Patriots last week, thoughts of a trip to the Super Bowl are dancing around the Mile High city....
The Dallas Cowboys have yet to lose a game this season that Tony Romo both started and finished. They've also not won a game in which he didn't play either. After suffering a second collarbone injury this year, Romo is back on the shelf, a ding which effectively has ended Dallas' season.A win on the road against the Washington Redskins would at least put the NFC East back on the radar, but even then, it's unlikely that Big D can finish the job....
Lucky Week 13. It's going to be the week where some teams have their playoff dreams realized, while others have them crushed, some once and for all.Line movement has been crucial all week as it has been all season long, and there are a lot of signs that there could be teams in some hot water....
The Indianapolis Colts are still holding the lead in the AFC South with just five games left to play, but their lead on the Texans is simply a matter of a tiebreaker. The Pittsburgh Steelers don't have the safety of a bad division to fall back on, and that's what makes Sunday Night Football against the Colts at home so darn important.Big players come up big in big games, and that means Antonio Brown is going to have a lot of pressure on his shoulders to help out his offense. His props though, are going to be severely overpriced....
In the wacky and wild world that is the NFC East, the 3-8 Dallas Cowboys are just two games back of the division leading Washington Redskins.This week's game is a must-win though, as there's no turning back for Dallas if it loses this one....
Don’t look now, but the Houston Texans are the hottest team in the NFL over the last month.Thanks to consecutive wins over the Titans, Bengals, Jets and Saints, the Texans have erased an ugly 1-4 start and have vaulted to a tie at the top of the AFC South standings....
With both teams holding onto slim playoff hopes the loser will start looking ahead to next season. Playing with his B team last week, Ravens’ coach John Harbaugh coaxed a miracle finish out of his group to win consecutive games for the first time this season. Including playoffs, Baltimore has won five straight against the Dolphins with four of those victories coming in Miami....
Tennessee will try again to end its home losing streak after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last week. The Titans extended their home skid to 11 straight and meet the Jaguars for the second time in three NFL weeks. The good news is the Titans’ last win at Nissan Stadium was against the Jags. The bad news is they’re 1-8-1 ATS in the last 10 against them....
Johnny Football moved up the Browns’ depth chart this week but remains on the bench in favor of Austin Davis as Cleveland looks to end its six-game slide.The Bengals got back on track with a dominant showing last week and are the best bet in the NFL going 9-1-1 ATS....
The Seahawks look to continue their climb up the wild card ladder while the Vikings try to maintain their surprising lead in the NFC North. In a battle between the league’s top two rushing offenses, the Vikings will need a huge outing from yardage leader Adrian Peterson, because they also have the 31st-ranked passing offense....
Five teams are knotted up at 6-5 in the AFC heading into Week 13. The Indianapolis Colts are still in a good spot to win the AFC South this year, and they've won three games in a row to continue to fend off an equally hot Houston team. That said, there's a real opportunity to take a big jump towards having a shot at a Wild Card slot as well if they can beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football....
The New England Patriots are perfect no more. They were beaten last week by the Broncos in Denver, but most just assume they're going to get back on track against the semi-dysfunctional Philadelphia Eagles this coming Sunday....
There's not a whole heck of a lot separating the New York Giants from the New York Jets. Both teams have had opportunities to stick around in the playoff race in their respective conferences, and both have gotten the job done at times while suffering mind-numbing losses in others.Furthermore, they're both essentially celebrating a home game on Sunday under the comfy settings of Snoopy Stadium....
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have had it tough of late. They’ve won just one game in their last five, and their offense is largely to blame for it. Rodgers got the best of Matt Stafford for fantasy football purposes a few weeks ago when the Pack and the Detroit Lions were on the field, but that was only due to the huge comeback in the fourth quarter which ultimately fell short. We'll have to see how things go when these clubs play the return game at Ford Field on Thursday....
The Carolina Panthers haven’t lost a regular season game in over a year and they can clinch the NFC South with a win over the Saints. New Orleans gave Carolina a scare when the teams met in Week 3, dropping a five-point game and covering as 10-point dogs. They did it without Drew Brees, who always gets his team amped in the Dome....
The free-falling Falcons have dropped out of a playoff spot in the NFC and could find themselves tied with Tampa Bay if they don’t find a way to end a four-game losing skid.The Buccaneers started Atlanta’s current slide with an overtime victory....
The Detroit Lions were 1-7 when they went to Lambeau Field three weeks ago. They hadn't won on the Frozen Tundra in literally decades, and they were 10.5-point underdogs. They won that day 18-16 in spite of the fact that they tried their best to give the game away, and they haven't looked back since with consecutive wins. If they can end this three-game home stand with yet another win, it isn't out of the question to think the Lions can get back in the playoffs while pushing the Green Bay Packers closer to the rest of the pack....
The battle for New York will take place in New Jersey. The Jets and Giants will be out to ruin each other’s season and the winner will likely do just that in a huge game between two mediocre teams. The Jets are back in the AFC wild card picture after knocking off the Dolphins and don’t have to travel for this ‘road’ game....
The landscape in Detroit has changed with the Lions rattling off three straight wins after a front office and coaching staff shakeup. The run started three weeks ago with their first win in Green Bay since 1991. Things are a bit different for the Packers, who have lost three of four and will try to regain the dominant form that led them to four straight NFC North titles....
The playoff race is as tight as could be in both the AFC and the NFC, and Week 13 is features a lot of divisional battles which will separate teams, perhaps once and for all....
St. Louis handed the Cardinals one of their two losses this season with an upset win in Arizona in Week 4. The Rams will need another upset of the NFC West leaders to snap a four-game losing streak that has them fading from the playoff race and coach Jeff Fisher on the hot seat....
The Browns benched the ring leader of their circus but have a glorious chance to end their five-game losing streak when they take on Baltimore's B team on Monday Night Football. Johnny Manziel hasn't progressed on the field as much as he has off it, and was demoted just days after being named the team's starter for the remainder of the season....
The Seahawks get another chance to beat a team with a winning record and their playoff hopes in the NFC may hinge on their ability to finally secure a win. Seattle has dominated lesser competition with its five victories against teams with a combined 13-27 record entering Week 12 action....
New England’s pursuit of a perfect season faces its stiffest test against Denver’s top-ranked defense when the two AFC powerhouses meet on Sunday Night Football. We won’t see the Brady vs. Manning matchup, with Peyton sidelined with a foot injury, and with other talented offensive players sidelined, this could be a defensive battle....
