Onto Week 15:

Arizona @ Rams (Thursday) - Big win last week for Arizona but the Rams are obviously really hot. I think they take it but am hoping for Arizona

Steelers @ Falcons - Tough one to call, but I think Pitt has more weapons and is just all around better. Pitt

Redskins @ Giants - Giants
Dolphins @ Pats - Pats, it seems Miami has faded a bit and their close losses early in the year will cost them the playoffs. This is still a dangerous game for New England though because Miami can play.

Raiders @ Chiefs - KC
Texans @ Colts - Colts
Jags @ Ravens - Ravens
Packers @ Bills - Of the remaining 3 games for Green Bay I think this is the best chance for an upset. Buffalo's offense is pretty weak so hopefully the wakeup call in the 2nd half of Monday Night's game means GB is going to play great defense. On the flip side Buffalo has a great pass rush and all around defense. GB should win but this one worries me.

Bucs @ Panthers - Panthers even without Cam. Tampa is one of many teams who will want to lose out.

Bengals @ Browns - Bengals. Cleveland has come back to Earth with their terrible QB play and that will continue for the rest of the year.

Jets @ Titans - Jets get their third win.
Broncos @ Chargers - Denver will need to win out to keep pressure on New England. San Diego is your typical above average team that isn't too dangerous. I think Denver takes it

Vikings @ Lions - Going with Detroit but Minny is playing a lot better lately and this figures to be a pretty close game

49ers @ Seahawks - Definitely pulling for San Fran but they have pretty much no chance. I think the players and maybe the coach have packed it in. Even if they play hard, play decent, it won't be enough.

Cowboys @ Eagles - I think Dallas takes it. Tough to call but Dallas is better than Philly with Sanchez at the helm. If it was Foles it'd be the opposite.

Saints @ Bears - Saints. Chicago is a mess, and now they're a mess that's missing its best player.

^ You did go the other way on the close ones to call, aside from SF-Seattle which will be one way traffic. Good strategy to try to catch up.

Arizona continues to impress. Seattle has to keep winning and will have to beat the Cards on the road next week if they want to win the division.

And with that win I'm pretty sure Arizona clinches the playoffs because they have the tiebreak over Detroit, Dallas, and Philly.

EDIT: Turns out they haven't clinched, the one thing that can keep them from clinching this weekend: a Dallas-Eagles tie...

Man, that Kaep "TD called fumble" vs the Rams looms even larger now, I said at the time it would come back to haunt Harbaugh &co but there were numerous other reasons for this disaster of a season.

This is perfect.. incredible bad call against the 49ers defense. Seahawks have at a ten point lead.. If the Niners cant come back to win this game. then the they need to stay home for the playoffs

Second tier franchise even with Rodgers at qb. You wouldn't see elite franchises like New England, Seattle or denver lose to the lowly bills on the road in such a huge game. Most likely another wasted year with Rodgers in his prime...

GB definitely laid an egg yesterday. Lost their chance at home field and will now have to battle it out for a WC.

They need to win their last 2 games period. If they lose next week I think Detroit clinches the division against the Bears. If they finish 11-5 and Dallas loses another game then the Packers are out. Rodgers picked the absolute worst time to look like Cutler, and then you have your usual poor coaching and discipline on the road and that leads to a loss vs. an awful team.

I really think that the Packers have damaged their hopes of hoisting the NFC championship game with this lost.. the road to the SuperBowl goes through Seattle

Seattle vs. Arizona is basically a big time playoff game. Seattle wins then they have well over 50% chance of getting to the Super Bowl. If they lose then the NFC is wide open still. All the Packers have going for them is Rodgers, and he was going against them yesterday. Maybe hearing/reading all the news about him playing like a deity got to his head. I expect he will bounce back and be pissed, I've never seen him look that bad.

Heard it was terrible as was a call in the Pittsburgh game. It's no surprise, the NFL is going nuts on any hit against a QB and the refs have been terrible all year.
