NFL Week 14 Match-Ups

Indianapolis is 12-0 and on the verge of locking up home field throughout the playoffs in the AFC. New Orleans survived a scare but held on the beat Washington to move to 12-0, clinching the NFC South and is in prime position to secure home field throughout as well. With four weeks to go, everything else concerning the post season is still undecided.

Cincinnati and Arizona can pretty much lock up their division with a win this week, but the rest of the division races look like they will come down to the wire. Keep an eye on the NFC North if the Vikings lose this week and the Packers win.

Here is a brief look at all the match ups with some keys to the game.

Thursday, Dec. 10

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns, 8:20 p.m.

The Steelers have beaten the Browns 12 times in a row. QB Brady Quinn’s future in Cleveland will hinge on how he performs the rest of the season starting with tonight’s game.

Sunday, Dec. 13

New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m.

Saints WR Robert Meachem has emerged as another weapon for Drew Brees with seven TD’s in his last five games. QB Matt Ryan is out again for Atlanta and RB Michael Turner will be a game time decision.

Detroit Lions at Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m.

QB Daunte Culpepper will get the start for Detroit as Matthew Stafford is out with a shoulder injury. In his last five games, Raven QB Joe Flacco has thrown only three TD’s and six interceptions.

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears, 1 p.m.

Packer QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown nine TD’s and only two interceptions in the Packer’s four game winning streak. The Bears are 5-7 overall, but 4-2 at home.

Seattle Seahawks at Houston Texans, 1 p.m.

Despite a sore throwing shoulder, Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck is expected to start this Sunday. After starting the season 5-3, the Texans have dropped their last four games.

Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m.

A victory this week and the Colts will set the record for consecutive regular season wins with 22. The Broncos have lost their RT Ryan Harris for the rest of the season with a toe injury.

Miami Dolphins at Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m.

Miami did not run a single play from their Wildcat formation in last week’s game against New England. After losing their home opener to Arizona, Jacksonville has won five straight at home.

Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m.

While both teams are averaging less than 17 points per game, the last time they met, in November of last season Buffalo came away with a 54-31 victory.

Cincinnati Bengals at Minnesota Vikings, 1 p.m.

In their last five games the Bengals have only managed to score an average of 18 points per game. QB Brett Favre and RB Adrian Peterson are coming off their worst performance of the year in last week’s loss to Arizona.

Carolina Panthers at New England Patriots, 1 p.m.

The Panthers are averaging 151.9 yards a game on ground, third best in the league. In his past nine games, Patriot QB Tom Brady has only thrown one 4th quarter touchdown pass.

New York Jets at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m.

In the nine times these two teams have played, the Jets have won eight of them. Kellen Clemens will get the start for injured New York QB Mark Sanchez.

St. Louis Rams at Tennessee Titans, 1 p.m.

This will be a battle between two of the best running backs in the league. The Ram’s Steven Jackson leads the NFC with 1232 yards and the Titan’s Chris Johnson leads the AFC with 1509 yards.

Washington Redskins at Oakland Raiders, 4:05 p.m.

Washington has lost their last three games by a total of seven points. Three out of Oakland’s four wins came against Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh.

San Diego Chargers at Dallas Cowboys, 4:15 p.m.

The Chargers are 15-0 in December dating back to 2006. Dallas has not had a winning December since 2003.

Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants, 8:20 p.m.

These two teams have evenly split their last 12 meetings. Philadelphia won the first meeting this season 40-17 back in week eight.

Monday, Dec. 14

Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers, 8:30 p.m.

The Cardinals can wrap up their second straight NFC West title with a win. San Francisco is 4-2 at home this year, but Arizona is 5-1 on the road.

For Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Houston, and Tennessee in the AFC and Atlanta, Carolina, Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco in the NFC any hope of making the post season depends on a win this week.
