NFL Week 14 Preview
In The Sunday late game, Tom Brady leads the New England Patriots against thr Pittsburgh Steelers, who are guaranteeing a victory to end the Patriots bid for a perfect season.
Here is your Week Fourteen NFL Preview. In Thursday Night's game on the NFL Network, The Washington Redskins eliminated the Chicago Bears from Playoff Contention as the Redskins beat the Bears 24-16.
EARLY GAMES 1:00 PM EST
CAROLINA AT JACKSONVILLE
David Garrard and Jake Delhomme have both played well. I think this game will come down to the running attack, which gives Jacksonville the edge.
JACKSONVILLE OVER CAROLINA
DALLAS AT DETROIT
The Lions have dropped four in a row to drop back to .500. The Lions will drop below .500 after Sunday, as they will lose to the Cowboys on Sunday. Dallas will clinch the NFC East with a win, a Giants loss, or a tie and a Giants tie. Dallas clinches a First Round Bye with a win, a Seahawks loss or tie, a Buccaneers loss or tie, or with a Cowboys tie and a Giants loss or tie and Seahawks loss and a Buccaneers tie. The absence of Roy Williams will hurt Detroit's recieving corps. Dallas will beat Detroit.
DALLAS OVER DETROIT
MIAMI AT BUFFALLO
The Bills will keep Miami winless.
BUFFALLO OVER MIAMI
NEW YORK GIANTS AT PHILLY
This is a big NFC East matchup. The Giants won over Chicago last Sunday. Donovan McNabb start for the Eagles on Sunday. If McNabb starts, the Eagles win. If Not, the Giants win. I'll go with Philly. If Philly wins, Dallas cliches the NFC East. The Giants can clinch a playoff berth with a win and a Panthers loss or tie, a Lions or Saints loss or tie, and a Cardinals or Vikings loss or tie.
PHILLY OVER NEW YORK GIANTS
OAKLAND AT GREEN BAY
The Green Bay Packers will be rooting hard for Dallas while they have thrir game going on. If Dallas beats Detroit, Green Bay clinches the NFC North. Green Bay also clinches a Playoff spot if the Arizona Cardinals lose or tie. Green Bay will beat Oakland.
GREEN BAY OVER OAKLAND
SAN DIEGO AT TENNESEE
Vince Young and the Tennesee Titans will try to stop San Diego from clinching the AFC West title. San Diego cliches the AFC West title with a win and a Denver Broncos loss. I'll go with San Diego over Tennesee because I'm expecting San Diego's defense to step up.
SAN DIEGO OVER TENNESEE
ST LOUIS AT CINCINNATTI
The Bengals had a horrible Sunday Night game against the Steelers. They had every chance to beat the Steelers, but they still lost. Willie Parker fumbled three times, but Cincy still lost. I'll go with Cincy over St. Louis, especially because Marc Bulger will not be starting this week.
CINCY OVER ST LOUIS
TAMPA BAY AT HOUSTON
The Bucos clinch the NFC South Title with a win, a Saints or Panthers loss, or a tie and Sains loss or a tie and a Panthers loss or tie. Tampa Bay will beat Houston to clinch the NFC South.
TAMPA BAY OVER HOUSTON
LATE GAMES 4:05 PM EST
SEATTLE AT ARIZONA
Seattle Clinches the NFC West Title with a victory. With a Cardinals loss, Green Bay clinches a Playoff Berth. This is also one of the ways New York Giants make the playoffs, but they need a lot of help for them to get there. Seattle will beat the Cardinals.
SEATTLE OVER ARIZONA
MINNESOTA AT SAN FRANCISCO
Another turkey game on the schedule. Vikings win.
MINNESOTA OVER SAN FRANCISCO
LATE GAMES 4:15 PM EST
PITTSBURGH AT NEW ENGLAND (THE GAME OF THE WEEK)
New England looks to become the fourth team in the modern era to start an NFL season 13-0 and the first to win 16 straight regular-season games since the Steelers in 2004-05 when it hosts Pittsburgh on Sunday.
If there was a team equipped to end the Patriots' streaks, the Steelers (9-3) may fit the bill. After all, Pittsburgh ended New England's league-record 21-game winning streak -- 18 in the regular season -- on Oct. 31, 2004, when it was in the midst of winning 16 in a row. The Patriots returned the favor on Sept. 25, 2005, stopping the Steelers' streak with a come-from-behind win at Heinz Field.
Even though the Steelers are heavy underdogs this time heading into Foxborough, their top-ranked defense has allowed the fewest points, total yards and passing yards in the NFL. New England is No. 1 offensively in each of those categories.
The only teams to begin a season 13-0 since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger were 1972 Miami, 1998 Denver and 2005 Indianapolis.
New England can clinch home field advantage with a win and a Colts loss. With a win, the Patriots clinch a First Round bye. Pittsburgh clinches the AFC North with a win and a Browns loss. The Steelers clinch a Playoff berth with a win and a Titans loss.
I'll go with New England over Pittsburgh. New England has come close to losing twice. Maybe the third time they will trail and not be able to come back.
NEW ENGLAND OVER PITTSBURGH
CLEVELAND AT NEW YORK JETS
The Browns will be rooting for the Patriots while they play against the Jets. If Pittsburgh loses, Cleveland still has hope to win the AFC North. Cleveland will beat the Jets.
CLEVELAND OVER NEW YORK JETS
KANSAS CITY AT DENVER
This is a huge AFC West rivalry. Brodie Croyle has an arm, and he'll be going deep early and often.I'll go with Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY OVER DENVER
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 8:15 PM EST
INDIANAPOLIS AT BALTIMORE
This is always a huge rivalry game. The Colts used to play in Baltimore. They packed up the team in the middle of the night and moved to Indianapolis in 1983. Baltimore fans have not forgiven Jim Irsay and the Irsay family for moving the Colts out of Baltimore. Baltimore played really well last week and they almost beat the Patriots. I expect them to play well again this week, but they will bring the hammer down against Peyton Manning and the Colts. Despite that, I think Indy will find a way to win and beat the Ravens.
INDY OVER BALTIMORE
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL 8:30 PM EST
NEW ORLEANS AT ATLANTA
No Contest, Saints win.
NEW ORLEANS OVER ATLANTA
Enjoy The Games On Sunday!
