NFL Wildcard Weekend Preview


In The First Game on Saturday, Matt Hasselbeck leads the Washington Redskins against Todd Collins and the Washington Redskins.


Here Is Your Preview of the NFC Wildcard Weekend.
SATURDAY GAMES
REDSKINS AT SEAHAWKS 4:00 PM EST NBC
This game has so much meaning to the Redskins. They mourned the loss of teamate Sean Taylor, and Todd Collins has become the Redskins starter for the first time in ten years. The Running game will be vital to the success of both teams as Shaun Alexander and Clinton Portis will both get their names called early and often. This game, like every, will be won in the trenches. I give Seattle the edge in that category, but the sheer emotion the Redskins will be playing with makes this a game that could go either way. That being said, I'll take Seattle because I think the veterran leadership will help Seattle advance to the NFC Divisional Playoff game.
SEAHAWKS OVER REDSKINS

JAGUARS AT STEELERS 7:00 PM EST NBC
This game really is another one I'm looking forward to. The Jaguars have been called "the team you don't want to face in the playoffs." The Steelers have the misfortune of facing that team. The Steelers do have Homefield Advantage, but their running game will be hurt because Willie Parker is lost for the season. Both of these defenses are scary good. This game may end up coming down to the kickers.I think this game, like the Seahawks-Redskins game, will come down to the running game. I'll go with Jacksonville because I think Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew will run for good yardage.
JAGUARS OVER STEELERS

SUNDAY GAMES
GIANTS AT BUCCANEERS 1:00 PM EST FOX
This game will be great. Two great defesnes for both teams. Jeff Garcia has been a thorn in the Giants side, as he led playoff vicotries against the Giants in 2003 and last season. Garcia once again gets the chance to rub salt in the wound. The Giants scored 35 points against the Patriots, the most points the Patriots had given up all season, but The Patriots came back from a twelve point defecit, their lagest of the season, to beat The Patriots 38-35. Eli Manning will always have the label "He's not as good as his brother." The first step to erasing that monkier would be a victory over the Buccaneers. This game will come down to the passing game. Whichever Quarterback can keep the turnover column at zero will be the one picking up the win. I think the Buccaneers can be that team.
BUCCANEERS OVER GIANTS

TITANS AT CHARGERS 4:00 PM EST CBS
This game has a questionmark associated with it. Who will start at quarterback for the Titans? Vince Young or Kerry Collins? If Vince Young is at the helm, the Chargers will have to look out in case he wants to run. If Kerry Collins starts, the Chargers will not have to worry about Collins running. Both of these teams have great defenses that will bring the heat early and often. The key for both teams will be the wuick pass to countract the blitz. The Tennesee defense will have to be on their toes again LaDanian Tomlinson, if he gets some daylight, he is off to the endzone. When these two teams played earlier in the season, LaDanian Tomlinson scored the game winning youchdown in overtime. I think The Chargers will win again.
CHARGERS OVER TITANS

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!

Week Thirteen NFL Preview


Maurice Jones-Drew and the Jagaurs try to stop Peyton Manning and their division rival Colts.

Here Is Your Weeek Thirteen NFL Preview. On Thursday Night, Dallas Defeated The Packers 37-27.

ATLANTA AT ST. LOUIS 1:00 PM EST
Gus Frerrotte fumbled the snap with less than a minute to go last week to put the Rams back in the loss column. The Falcons are coming off a loss to the Colts last Thursday Night. St. Louis wins.
ST LOUIS OVER ATLANTA

BUFFALO AT WASHINGTON 1:00 PM EST
This Is Washington's first game since the death of Sean Taylor on Tuesday. I am sure the team will play with heavy hearts for the rest of the season. It diesn't even seem fair to pick a winner for this game, but I think Washington will play through their grief and beat the Bills.
WASHINGTON OVER BUFFALLO

DETROIT AT MINNESOTA 1:00 PM EST
This is a big NFC North Matchup. The Lions are second in the divison. The Vikings are last in the win column. A win by The Vikings would keep them on pace with Chicago. I'll go with Minnesota.
MINNESOTA OVER DETROIT

HOUSTON AT TENNESEE 1:00 PM EST
Tennesee has dropped their last two games. Expect the loss column to be avoided this week as Tennesee beats Houston.
TENNESEE OVER HOUSTON

JACKSONVILLE AT INDY 1:00 PM EST THE GAME OF THE WEEK
This is a fantastic game. The winner of this game puts The AFC South in a complete limbo.The Colts may be bannged up, and that is great news for the Jaguars, I think the Colts will win despite the injury bug.
INDY OVER JACKSONVILLE

NEW YORK JETS AT MIAMI 1:00 PM EST
The New York Jets are coming off a loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. Miami is coming off an ugly loss to the Steelers 3-0 Monday Night. Ricky Williams is the latest Dolphin injured. Miami just cannot catch a break. Ted Ginn Jr. is the only playmaker on this sorry team. I'll go with the Jets.
NEW YORK JETS OVER MIAMI

SAN DIEGO AT KANSAS CITY 1:00 PM EST
Kansas City is coming off an ugly loss to Oakland 2-17. Kolby Smith rushed for 150 yards and it looked like Kansas City would win for a while. San Diego is coming off a loss to Jacksonville last week. I'll go with San Diego to beat Kansas City.
SAN DIEGO OVER KANSAS CITY

SEATTLE AT PHILLY 1:00 PM EST
This is a fantastic battle at the running back position as Brian Westbrook opposes Shaun Alexander. A.J. Feeley had a fantastic game for the Eagles last Sunday Night and if it wasn't for two poorly timed interceptions, we would once again be talking about a Quarterback controversy in Philly, as A.J. almost led the Eagles to victory over the Patriots last Sunday Night. I'll go with Philly because they are at home.
PHILLY OVER SEATTLE

SAN FRANCISCO AT CAROLINA 1:00 PM EST
Vinny Testaverde starts for the Panthers this week. The 49ers Defense came up huge last week against The Cardinals. Kurt Warner put up some huge fantasy number against them, as he threw for almost 500 yards against them. Tully Banta-Cain caught an interception in the endzone to win the game for the 49ers.

TAMPA BAY AT NEW ORLEANS 1:00 PM EST
This Is A Big NFC South Rivalry. Tampa Bay has beaten every team in the Conference, and they will beat the Saints At Home.
TAMPA BAY OVER NEW ORLEANS

CLEVELAND AT ARIZONA 4:05 PM EST
Who would have thought the Clveland Browns are in the running for a Playoff Spot? The Browns will beat The Cardinals to keep their playoff hopes alive.
CLEVELAND OVER ARIZONA

DENVER AT OAKLAND 4:05 PM EST
Denver is coming off a tough loss to Chicago. Oakland is coming off an upset victory over the Chiefs. I'll go with Denver.
DENVER OVER OAKLAND

NEW YORK GIANTS AT CHICAGO 4:15 PM EST
Devin Hester had an amazing day as he returned a kick and a punt both for touchdowns. Devin Hester is the reason the Bears won and is the reason the Bears are still in the playoff hunt but they will need an amazing miracle to make the playoffs.Eli Manning looked terrible against the Vikings last week. He wasn't stepping up in the pocket, and he was letting the rush get to him. Chicago is going to blitz early and often, meaning Eli is in for more trouble in Chicago. For That Reason, I go with Chicago Over The Giants.
CHICAGO OVER NEW YORK GIANTS

CINCINNATTI AT PITTSBURGH 8:15 PM EST
Chad Johnson had three touchdown catches as Cincy defeated Tennesee. Pittsburgh is coming off an ugly game against The Dolphins, as Jeff Reed kicked the Game Winning Field Goal with 16 seconds left. It was the only points of the game as Pittsburgh won 3-0. That Monday Night Game for The Steelers is the Definition of Winning Ugly. They now have to play a Bengals Team that is finally starting to play as a team. I can't wait for this game. It's gonna be great. Bengals win.
CINCINNATI OVER PITTSBURGH

NEW ENGLAND AT BALTIMORE 8:30 PM EST
The New England Patriots escaped New England still undefeated. Wouldn't it be something if The Ravens, as inconsistent as they've been all season, were to beat The Patriots? It could happen, but I don't think it will. Patriots win Monday Night.
NEW ENGLAND OVER BALTIMORE
