11-5 again this week and like last week, I predict another Patriots loss this week. Pats-Ravens games are usually tight, so it will probably be decided by a FG.

I think Bears/Eagles is on SNF by the way.

Itssoeasy

The bears and eagles is the SNF game so the eagles will know what they have to do(more than likely win to take it to week 17), but given how woeful the cowboys(on course to break the most points allowed season record), are on D I wouldn't put it past the skins to beat them. If my maths are right should the cowboys lose and the eagles win the eagles are NFC East champs as the eagles would be two games ahead of cowboys with one week left.

Yeah, they switched that game into that slot a couple of weeks ago.

Pack will know tomorrow but I'd be amazed if he wasnt

At least you'll still smell great regardless of the results

I think the only smell off me come Sunday night will be sweat watching the Ravens game :pac:

The Seahawks are in the unlikely position of being able to send the niners to the playoffs by beating Arizona. Meanwhile us 49er fans don't know who to root for, with the division technically still in play.

Thanks Corv.

Foaming at the mouth for the Pats / Ravens!

Jesus it really has flown in hasn't it! Reg season nearly over already

Also, was out in town on a mini sociable pub crawl on sunday night and wanted to catch the Pats game or some of it, stumbled up on Synnots on the Green, i had watched rugby there but didnt know they screen a full NFL game every sunday too. Caught the last 1/4 of the game there and then went to the Hairy Lemon for a swift half of lemonade and they were showing the Redzone

I never knew there were so many places now showing the games!

SameOleJay

You have to feel for Arizona- a potential 10 wins in that division and they’ll still probably miss the play-offs.

Arians has done very well.

We can expect the usual trash talk from Terrelle Suggs this week :P

He loves to rant about Tom Brady.

adrian522

If Dallas beat the Redskins in the early game then the Eagles have really nothing on the line against the Bears in the late game. The game against the bears will only matter for seeding as the NFC East would be decided by the Week 17 game between Dallas and Philadelphia.

Also looks very likely that the NFC North will come down to Green Bay @ Chicago in week 17.

In that scenario it would be very interesting to see which game gets moved to the Sunday night football slot.

Wouldn't count them out yet. 49ers not lighting it up and if Arizona beat them well .....

Americas team will get moved. Its all about TV markets.

Arizona need to beat Seattle and San Francisco and hope Atlanta also beat San Francisco on Monday night. Not likely I don't think.

Also 49ers are on a 4 game win streak, lighting it up as much as any team in the league to be honest.

Ah didn't realize that the Niners owned the tie breaker if they won the second game. guess that makes it a lot more unlikely so.

The other chance would be for Arizona to win out and hope whoever loses between New Orleans and Carolina also loses the following week.

They also go through if 49ers beat Atlanta, Cardinals win/lose to Seattle but beat SF and Carolina lose both. Which I think is their best hope as it requires only 1 very unlikely result, that being a Falcons win in week 17. Anything else needs a Saints/Seattle home loss which just doesn't happen, or 49ers losing at home to Falcons, which won't happen (these sorts of games are a big strength of SF, they've really cleaned up against weaker opposition).

D3PO

either way it bodes well for the Cards future. They will need to restructure Palmers contract though but they have a super lot of young players in the likes of Peterson, Ellington & Floyd so a good draft and they are gonna be a serious team next year.

NFL looking pretty stupid now for flexing Eagles-Bears and kicking out Patriots-Ravens

King_of_Kingz

so disappointed about the inconsistancy of my beloved Bengals in recent weeks. They seem to want to hand the division to Baltimore and Andy Dalton is doing nothing to change my opinion that he will not develop into nothing more than a solid back up to mid level starter. He will never become the Top QB we need to push us over that playoff hump.

Hes too in consistent with the deep ball but i digress....This weeks game against the Vikings is a must win in my view if we are to clinch a playoff birth. I am praying Brady and his beat up recieving core can do us a favour against a resurgent Ravens team.

Just goes to show the value of good coaching. Andy Reid in Kansas another good example.

No they're not. The NY teams are terrible which means Philly/Chicago are the biggest markets this year. Flexing Bears/Eagles to SNF was a genius decision.

It would be better for everyone if he just climbed out of the closet. His obsession with Brady is nearly creepy at this stage.

Harbaugh just asked Patriots media for information of the Patriots WR health. Their response? ''Call the NSA'' Harbaugh: ''I don't think they could even crack Belichick's phone'' :pac:

Probably a preview for the wildcard round in two weeks

Paully D

I've been doing the pick-em's on the NFL website since the start of the season. The most I got correct was in week 14 with 13 correct selections.

Overall, I'm 128-79 for the season but I missed last week so presuming I go .500 there that brings me to 136-87. I'm pretty happy with that considering the NFL experts on CBS, NFL.com etc are hitting an average of around 140 correct for the year so far.

How is everyone else doing overall?

Please for a nice Christmas present can you please beat the damn Jags!

6-7 inches of snow expected in Green Bay on Sunday, according to early weather reports.

adrian522

Nice, should make for a good game.

6-7 inches is pretty damn heavy but it'd be hilarious if they somehow underestimated it again and it turns out to be something nuts altogether.

Doesn't Green Bay cover their field before the game starts if snow is expected & have big underground heaters.
If I remeber correctly & thats true, the only snow that will get in the way, is snow that falls during the game & thats not nearly enough to cause any problems.

Schaub is starting for the Texans against the Broncos this weekend

Probably his last game for the Texans too. for got no match tonight, absolutely raging over that!

Anyone else hoping Schuab goes out on a big performance? I think he's got more grief than he's deserved.

adrian522

Looks like Rodgers will miss week 16 also...

No - 10 sacks and six interceptions would be ideal.

Yeah Rodgers is officially out on the Packers injury report.
