KC v OAK

KC (-8.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
What
should have been a fairly competitive divisional affair quickly unveils
itself to be a KC romp-fest. OAK trails by a TD at the half and fails to
close to the gap throughout the remainder of this primetime beatdown.
|

CLE v ATL

CLE (+3.5)

|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
race for the AFC North crown develops a bit of breathing room this weekend
after the traveling Browns witness their club’s secondary get ripped apart by
one of the NFL’s top wideouts, ATL WR Jones, for huge gains in the final
minutes of this ball game. A last second Dirty Birds chip shot FG by K Bryant
seals the deal for the home side here.

NYJ v BUF
|

NYJ (PICK)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the ugliest game of the weekend to be played in a stadium that has fielded
more than its fair share of ugly football games, the J-E-T-S return the
spanking they received on their home field in week 8 from this division rival
with a backbreaking last minute road win here to all but assure an end to the
Bills push for the AFC East title.
|
||
|
TB v CHI
|
CHI
|
CHI (-6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
a bid to inspire some faith in their otherwise of-late listless hometown fan
base (and rightfully so), Da Bears rack up a convincing TD win over a woeful
Bucs club that simply is playing out the remainder of their schedule.
|
||
|
CIN v HOU
|
CIN
|
CIN (+1.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
one of the most unassuming games of the weekend, an utterly thrilling
conclusion is in the works as Bengals QB Dalton, down a FGM with under a
minute to play, puts it all on the line & airs out a deep pass to the end
zone that is hauled in by lanky, soft-handed target WR Green for the TD &
the crucial Jungle Cats road victory.
|
||
|
JAX v IND
|
IND
|
JAX (+14.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Indy
romps at home here but the Jags show some teeth (as little as they may have
to bear) and keep this contest within 2 TDs throughout.
|
||
|
GB v MIN
|
GB
|
MIN (+10.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
As
history often dictates when these two clubs come to blows, the game is
bloody, the fans are vicious and the end tally is frequently nail-biting
slim. Expect history to repeat itself this weekend in Minny.
|
||
|
DET v NE
|
NE
|
NE (-7.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
As
frustrating as it may be to the of-late world-beating Pats, DET holds its own
in this matchup and, if not for a gaggle of Lions QB Stafford errant passes
that sail both high and wide of their intended targets, would have afforded
the Lions an opportunity for victory here as opposed to the TD+FGM score
differential this game tails out on in side of home team NE.
|
||
|
TEN v PHI
|
PHI
|
TEN (+11.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Titans highly-touted secondary, with a little INT help from Eagles QB Sanchez
to boot, makes a game of it for their ball club in Philadelphia this weekend.
However, the end score of this contest still remains in the double figures
for the home squad by fourth quarter’s conclusion here.
|
||
|
STL v SD
|
SD
|
SD (-4.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
upset Rams exit Qualcomm Stadium this Sunday as simply as stated – upset.
Superchargers win by a TD.
|
||
|
ARI v SEA
|
SEA
|
ARI (+6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Welcome
to FG country! SEA K Hauschka racks up the leg points this weekend for his
team as the Seabirds edge out their division rival Red Birds and keep their
hopes of winning the NFC West crown alive for, at the very least, another
Sunday.
|
||
|
MIA v DEN
|
DEN
|
MIA (+8.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Fish look far from out of water in the cold confines of Mile High Stadium
this weekend and take this one to the wire vs. a battered & bruised
Broncos squad that is lucky to emerge victorious in a game they would have
had no chance of winning had it been played in MIA.

WAS v SF

QB RGIII displays some of the skill & swagger here that made him a top
pick in the draft just a few years back. However, his counterpart, SF QB
Kaepernick, puts on a superior display in this game to prove two vital points
to the underachieving Griffin: NFL Draft selection order means nothing in
terms of on-field performance & arm strength/pigskin placement is the
most critical element of the QB position.
|

|
DAL v NYG
|
DAL
|
DAL (-4.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
will of DAL RB Murray vs. the NFL’s worst run defence is all it takes for the
division rival ‘Boys to put the clamps down on lowly NYG this weekend in
Jersey.
|

|
BAL v NO
|
BAL
|
BAL (+3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|

|
The
Saints fall into a deeper hole in the race for the NFC South crown this
weekend when their porous defence, for a second consecutive week, earns their
club a crushing home defeat at the hands of another underrated AFC North
opponent.
