It has been a pretty good season for Michigan State. Nobody will forget the finish to their battle against Wisconsin and they could wind up playing the Badgers again in the first ever Big Ten Championship game.
The Falcons (6-4) are coming off a win and there is a good chance they will get another win this Sunday since the Vikings (2-8) may be without Adrian Peterson. The Minnesota RB has a high ankle sprain and is a big question mark for this game.
The Panthers (2-8) are coming off a tough loss where they gave up a big lead and ended up giving up 49 points.
The San Diego Chargers will look to end their five game losing streak as they host the Denver Broncos in a pivotal game in the wide open AFC West on Sunday at Qualcomm Stadium.
The Chicago Bears were in the midst of five-game winning streak, and then something unthinkable happened. Quarterback Jay Cutler went down possibly for the season with a broken thumb.
The slumping Washington Redskins head west on Sunday to take on an emerging Seattle team that has won two straight games. While things appear to be unraveling before our very eyes in Washington, things appear to be coming together for the chronically underachieving Seattle Seahawks.

The Bucs (4-6) have lost 4 straight and if they lose to the Titans (5-5) in this non-conference match up the post-season will likely be a pipe dream.
It is safe to say that things haven’t turned out as expected for Minnesota this year. They opened the season with 4 straight losses which sucked the wind out of the franchise and quickly turned this year into a rebuilding one.
The dream season keeps on getting better down in Houston. Last week against SMU they looked a little sluggish early but after all was said it was another dominating win and cover. So what if they didn’t crack 40 points.
Two teams desperate for a win to conclude their season will meet this Saturday as the Washington State Cougars collide with the Washington Huskies to compete in this year’s Apple Cup in Seattle, Washington.
One week after being eliminated from returning to the national title game and having their 21-game home winning streak – the nation’s longest – snapped by losing to USC 38-35.
Even though Penn State (9-2) lost last week and they are still reeling from a scandal they still have a shot to play in the first ever Big 10 title game, but must beat Wisconsin (9-2) to get that chance.
Iowa State (6-4) scored a big upset last week knocking Oklahoma State from the ranks of the unbeaten and ruining their National Title hopes and they can ruin Oklahoma (9-2) and their Big 12 title hopes with another upset.
Texas Tech (5-6) looked like a lock to make a bowl game a few weeks back when they shocked Oklahoma beating the Sooners in Norman, but they have lost 4 straight since then and must beat Baylor (7-4) to be bowl eligible.
The UCLA Bruins can clinch the Pac-12 South with a win over cross-town rival the AP No. 10 Southern California Trojans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday.
