BUF (+5.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
a must-win game for both sides to remain in the hunt for the AFC East
Championship, the strong rush defence of traveling BUF keeps their club’s
head above water for much of this ball game. However, the relentless push of
the ‘Fins rush attack still manages to set up proficient Placekicker Sturgis close
enough for a game-winning 50+-yd FG try here – which he promptly hits to put
the Bills all but slim playoff hopes to rest for yet another season.

ATL v CAR
|
CAR
|
CAR (+1.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
(In
spite of some ugly play from both sides involved) this match comes down to
the wire wherein CAR K Gano, as consistent as they come in the NFL, hits a
45+-yd FG to assure a much needed victory for the beleaguered-of-late home
team Cats.

|
MIN v CHI
|
CHI
|
MIN (+3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
one of the most unassuming matchups of the weekend, the home side Bears
barely eek out a win over division rival Minny after the Vikings score a TD
in the last minute of game play to come within a single point of tying the
score. Luckily for CHItown, an onside kick attempt by the Vikes to recover
the ball for a final seconds drive is pounced upon by their secondary to seal
the narrow victory.

|
HOU v CLE
|
CLE
|
CLE (-4.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Many
of their recent victories have come against sub-par squads & the Browns
continue that custom this weekend with a near-TD victory over another
languishing NFL club, the Houston Texans, without its star RB in the lineup
and an inexperienced QB at ship helm.
|
||
|
SEA v KC
|
SEA
|
SEA (+1.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the weekend’s most tightly contested affair, the reigning Super Bowl
champions, SEA, dig especially deep for a road win and, thanks to some superb
rushing from RB Lynch, find themselves a single point victor in one of the
NFL’s most difficult visitor venues.
|

|
CIN v NO
|
NO
|
NO (-7.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
A
deadly-at-home offence makes mincemeat of an otherwise comparable opponent as
the Saints juggernaut scoring attack puts a 10-pt final score hurting on the
slumping Jungle Cats down in the bayou.
|
||
|
SF v NYG
|
SF
|
SF (-4.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
superior squad reigns victorious here as the traveling 49ers enter the fourth
quarter with a TD+ lead here and fail to relinquish any points to the home
side throughout the remainder of this matchup.
|
||
|
DEN v STL
|
DEN
|
DEN (-10.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Simple
summary: traveling DEN puts a 2-TD final tally hurting on hometown STL as the
Broncos route the Rams in front of the Edward Jones Dome faithful.

TB v WAS

|
TB (+7.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Experienced
QB McCown keeps fledgling TBay in this game for much longer than the betting
public had anticipated. However, the near equally as inept home side ‘Skins
manage a 7-pt victory in this matchup courtesy a fourth quarter breakout
reception-for-TD by elusive wideout DeSean Jackson.
|
||
|
OAK v SD
|
SD
|
OAK (+10.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Black & Silver make a game of this one in spite of innumerable crucial injuries
on defence entering this ball game. That said, division rival SD still posts
a TD+ final score point differential on the board by fourth quarter’s end
here.
|

|
DET v ARI
|
DET
|
DET (+2.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|

|
The
Lions accomplish in Arizona this weekend something that had eluded them for
much of the past decade leading up to this season – a road victory.
|

|
PHI v GB

|
PHI (+6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the most electric game of the weekend, the hometown Packers narrowly edge the
travel-worn Eagles by a FGM following an offensive fireworks show that must
be seen to be believed.
|
||
|
NE v IND
|
IND
|
IND (-2.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
A
dogfight to the bitter end at Lucas Oil Stadium this SNF, Indy emerges
victorious in this tightly-contested affair via Luck on their side.
|

|
PIT v TEN
|
PIT
|
PIT (-7.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
battle for the AFC North crown grows tighter this weekend after Steeltown
puts an absolute shellacking on the Titans in what can only be described as
the black & bluegrass state following this PIT-led MNF thumping.
