“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
After
beating up on some lowly competition, the Browns enter this TNF with a
legitimate chance at seizing the reigns atop the AFC North. However, they
will have to do it on the road, dogged a TD and squaring off against another
historically beleaguered division rival – the Bengals. Should be a barnburner
in Ohio tonight when these two fairly-even weighted opponents do battle
though the tip of the cap goes to the Cats who’ve been arguably as dominant
this season at home as any team in the NFL.

|
TEN v BAL
|
BAL
|
BAL (-10.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
With
the game clock ticking to a close and the Titans far within reach of
tying/winning the ball game, TEN rookie QB Mettenberger, in a lame attempt to
pump up his game stats, finds the only statistic amplified is his INTs as the
Ravens secondary picks off up the young signal-caller to secure the home side
victory.
|

|
KC v BUF
|
KC
|
KC (-2.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
BUFs
lack of a clean bill of health dictates the finale here as the Chiefs pull
away with a late rushing TD courtesy RB Charles and then avert their eyes
from the bench as Bills QB Orton struggles, to no avail, to string together a
last minute game-tying drive with slim-to-nil offensive weapons in his
arsenal.
|
||
|
MIA v DET
|
DET
|
DET (-3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
mighty hands of Megatron strike again as a last minute improbable pass from
DET QB Stafford (overthrown and a foot ahead of its target) is miraculously
pulled in by the NFLs best wideout who, in turn, proceeds to shuck & jive
his way to the MIA end zone to clinch yet another close-finish Lions
win.

DAL v JAX

DAL (-7.5)

“THE LAST PLAY”
|

|
NFL
fans of London, England rest assured-in spite of the knuckle-chewing finale
of DET v ATL a few weeks back, the league still hates you with a passion (as
evidenced by its subpar selections for your overseas enjoyment) and this
Sunday’s showdown is no exception with the Floridian Cats taking it on the
chin early & often from the ‘Boys & failing to display even a shred
of the talent inherent of a professional NFL squadron throughout the match.
|

|
SF v NO
|
NO
|
SF (+5.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Hands
down the best game on the bill this weekend in the NFL. In a squeaker of a
finale, NO QB Brees airs out a late game long ball pass that is hauled in by
veteran wideout Colston along the sidelines to stop the clock and set up the
experienced leg of K Graham to chip shot the win for the home side.
|
||
|
PIT v NYJ
|
PIT
|
NYJ (+6.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Though
appearing a juggernaut of late, the J-E-T-S push Steeltown to the brink of a
road loss in this tightly-contested matchup. The undoing of the NYJ victory: a
late game TD pass from Jets QB Vick to rookie TE Amaro that would have sealed
the home side victory is picked off an kneeled down by the PIT secondary to ensure
a crucial PIT win.
|
||
|
ATL v TB
|
ATL
|
ATL (-2.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the ugliest ball game of the weekend (there’s rain in the forecast to top
things off), the lowly Dirty Birds upset their even lowlier home team
division rival Bucs courtesy a TD connection between ATL QB Ryan & WR
Jones halfway through the fourth quarter that neither side’s middling
offensive attack is able to challenge/build upon from thereon in.
|
||
|
DEN v OAK
|
DEN
|
OAK (+12.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Despite
being doomed from the get-go, the Raiders push their West Coast division
rivals hard in this matchup to earn their road victory and, in turn, earn a moral
victory of their own: the knowledge that they were defeated by 10-points or
less by one of the premier team’s in the NFL (at least it’s something).
|
||
|
STL v ARI
|
ARI
|
STL (+7.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
a bid to complete the trifecta of defeating all three division rivals at
least once this season as the vs. spread underdog, STL QB Davis, down two
FGMs in the final seconds, puts it all on the line and tosses a 50+-yd Hail
Mary pass to the ARI end zone that is spectacularly knocked down by the Cards
secondary to seal a barnburner home victory.
|
||
|
NYG v SEA
|
SEA
|
NYG (+9.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Seabirds take a TD lead mid-third quarter in this matchup courtesy the legs
of RB Lynch and both squads fail to add/subtract upon those go-ahead points
throughout the remainder of this apathetic affair.
|
||
|
CHI v GB
|
GB
|
CHI (+8.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
A
harrowing TD reception from Bears wideout Marshall brings visiting division
rival CHI within seven points of GBay with less than two minutes to play on
the clock in this one. Too bad Packers QB Rodgers enters the game immediately
thereafter, chucks two first down passes to his ample receiving corp and
watches time tick away to nothing for the home side win.
|
||
|
CAR v PHI
|
PHI
|
PHI (-6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
PHI
RB McCoy continues his recent string of dominant play with a 100+-yd rushing
& two TD stat line in this beatdown of the traveling Panthers battered
& beleaguered run defence.
