Every division race in the NFL still remains tight, but we are finally beginning to get a clear picture of which teams will be competing over the next five weeks for one of the six postseason spots in each conference. New England, New York (Jets), and Atlanta all won last week and remain at the top of the league at 9-2. Five of the eight divisions have a two-team tie at the top and the lead in the other three remains just one game.
The following is a brief look at each matchup in Week 13 along with the current pointspread as supplied by betED.com.

Over/Under: 44 ½
The Bear’s defensive sacked Philadelphia QB Michael Vick four times and caused one interception in Sunday’s win. They are now ranked 13th in sacks and tied for second in interceptions for the year.

Atlanta (-3) at Tampa Bay
Over/Under: 44
The Falcons 20-17 OT win over Green Bay last week ensures that they will have a winning season for the third straight year which is a franchise record. The Buccaneers lost guard Davin Joseph and safety Cody Grimm for the season in Sunday’s loss to Baltimore.
Washington at N.Y. Giants (-7)
Over/Under: 44
Redskin QB Donovan McNabb has an overall passer rating of 76.0 which is the lowest since his rookie year in 1999. Giants QB Eli Manning has a rating of 90.3 which is the second highest of his seven year career.

Frank Gore is done for the season with a hip injury, but former Eagles’ RB Bryan Westbrook ran for 136 yards in the 49ers 27-6 win over Arizona on Monday night. The Packers eclipsed Atlanta by close to 120 yards in total offense and had the edge in first downs and third down conversions, but were outgained in one major category; points.
Denver at Kansas City (-8)
Over/Under: 48 ½
The Broncos have been outscored by 73 points, which is the worst in the AFC. They are ranked 18th in scoring but dead last in points allowed. The Chiefs are 7-4 and in first place in the AFC West with the fourth ranked scoring offense and a defense that is ranked 13th in points allowed.
Cleveland at Miami (4 ½)

St. Louis (-2) at Arizona
Over/Under: 45 ½
The Rams are 5-6 and tied for the lead in the NFC West with the 25th ranked offense in the league and the 19th ranked defense. The Cardinals chances of returning to the playoffs for the third straight season look pretty bleak after Monday night’s loss to San Francisco dropped them to 3-8 on the year.
Carolina at Seattle (-6)
Over/Under: 40

Dallas at Indianapolis (-5)

8:20 P.M. Pittsburgh at Baltimore (-3)
Over/Under: 40
The Steelers are living a charmed life this season after winning another game they should have lost when Bills WR Stevie Johnson dropped a game-winning TD pass in overtime. The Ravens have a chance to sweep Pittsburgh this season after beating the Steelers 17-14 back in Week 4.
Monday, Dec. 06
8:30 P.M. N.Y. Jets at New England (-3 ½)
Over/Under: 47
The premier matchup of the week between the two best teams in the AFC should still come down to the Jets’ elite defensive secondary led by CB Derrelle Revis going against the Patriot’s aerial assault led by QB Tom Brady. New York got the best of that matchup the first time around when they held New England to just 14 points in Week 2.
