SD (+8.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the battle for the head of the class in the AFC West, the NFL’s most
proficient home club of recent years, the Denver Broncos, gaze on in frustration
and amazement this TNF as the visiting Superchargers, courtesy some superb defence
and a last second long FGM by K Novak, reign victorious in a vital standings
showdown.
|

|
DET v ATL
|
DET
|
DET (-4.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Lions
road loud in London with a convincing win over the sad sack Falcons, who fall
behind by a TD at third quarter’s conclusion and fail to claw themselves any
closer in this matchup.
|
||
|
SEA v CAR
|
CAR
|
CAR (+5.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Forcing
the issue to TE Olson for the late game-winning TD, CAR QB Newton & Co.
emerge victorious over the reigning Super Bowl champs in this contest &
send the Seabirds on a long flight home with the taste of sweet barbecue and
bitter defeat in their mouths.
|

|
BAL v CIN
|
BAL
|
BAL (-1.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Ravens spread their wings wide and commence flying away with the AFC North title
this week with a convincing TD win over the only true combatant in their
division this season.
|
||
|
MIA v JAX
|
MIA
|
MIA (-6.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Cats drown in a sea of Fins’ TDs & defensive pick-6’s in this matchup.
|
||
|
STL v KC
|
KC
|
STL (+7.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
A
valiant effort from STL QB Davis to carry his team to the promised land in
this matchup goes for naught when an errant pass to WR Quick is picked off by
the KC secondary &, on the very next play, is rushed by speedster KC RB
Charles to the end zone for the game-winning home run TD.
|
||
|
CHI v NE
|
NE
|
CHI (+6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
dependable hands of NE TE Gronkowski seals the deal for the home side Pats in
this contest as a late game TD hookup between the elite receiver & his
Hall of Fame-to-be QB Brady narrowly averts a Bears upset in Boston this
weekend.
|
||
|
BUF v NYJ
|
NYJ
|
NYJ (-3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
A
final seconds 50+-yd FGM by NYJ K Folk clinches a slim margin victory for the
J-E-T-S in this barn-burning AFC East showdown.
|
||
|
MIN v TB
|
MIN
|
MIN (+3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
easily one of the ugliest games of the weekend, the Vikings emerge victorious
on the road in this matchup courtesy the efficient run attack of RB tandem
Asiata & McKinnon throughout & a late game short pass TD to
experienced wideout Jennings to cap off the win.
|
||
|
HOU v TEN
|
HOU
|
HOU (-2.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
legs of HOU RB Foster certifies the end result of this contest by halftime as
the Texans jump to a 2-TD lead by mid-game break and never look back at their
inept divisional opponent.
|
||
|
PHI v ARI
|
PHI
|
PHI (+2.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the most electric game of the weekend, the well-rested Eagles edge the never
say die Cards on their home turf courtesy a final minute TD connection
between PHI QB Foles & talented TE prospect Ertz.
|
||
|
OAK v CLE
|
CLE
|
OAK (+7.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Arguably
the worst game of a weekend that includes five different matchups of
basement-bound squads. The three-headed rushing attack of CLE RBs Tate, West
& Crowell get it done for the Brownies at home this weekend in a game
that ends out much closer than pundits predicted.
|
||
|
IND v PIT
|
IND
|
IND (-3.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Indy’s
ever-rising stud QB Luck puts yet another nail in the slowly-sealing Steelers
dynasty coffin here with a TD+ road victory for the traveling Colts.
|
||
|
GB v NO
|
NO
|
NO (+1.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Pack hang their heads in sorrow as they exit the Superdome with a tough-nosed
loss to their name, one that results in both on-field injuries to key cogs of
their defence and the knowledge that they have been relegated to the number
two spot in their division behind the quietly-surging Lions.
|
||
|
WAS v DAL
|
DAL
|
WAS (+10.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
DALs’
toothless schedule results in another ‘Boys victory this MNF, this time in a convincing,
if not flawed, victory over division rival WAS who post much more of a fight
in this contest than ‘America’s Team’ owner Jerry Jones ever-envisioned or is
willing to accept (someone’s getting cut this week and this time it can’t be
DE Sam)
