Week 15??? Really? Time goes by so fast! With the playoff races tight and Tebow versus Brady on the schedule, week 15 has everything you want. Let’s set-up for The Opening Drive!
(4-9) Washington Redskins at
(7-6) New York Giants
We’re starting this week’s drive by diving right into the “Trap of the Week!” The Giants are coming off a huge win against the Cowboys, with whom they’re tussling for the division title. It would be fitting of this annually inconsistent team to lose a game late in the season that they absolutely should win.
(8-5) Detroit Lions at(7-6) Oakland Raiders
I seriously have no idea what’s going on in this game. Two aggressive defensive lines, but two very different offenses will take the field. The Lions can’t run the ball to save their lives and the Raiders would prefer to simply pound you into the dust. Something has to give.
(10-3) New England Patriots at(8-5) Denver Broncos
Speaking of something has to give… I will do anything to be able to see a beatdown of these Broncos. Tom Brady… I will do ANYTHING. Just have the Patriot PR person get in touch with me. Away from divine interference on the field, I simply don’t see the Broncos keeping pace offensively with the Patriots. Brady should have a two-touchdown lead going into the fourth quarter, which should be more than enough. If the Pats score more than 24, they should win.
(8-5) New York Jets at(5-8) Philadelphia Eagles
Anybody else think either team could lay a fat egg in this game? I wouldn’t be surprised at any outcome, to be perfectly honest. I could see Sanchez tossing three interceptions or three touchdowns. Michael Vick could tear off chunks of yardage on the ground against a blitzing man-coverage defense. Just enjoy this one, because the resulting storylines will be magnificent.
(10-3) Baltimore Ravens at(6-7) San Diego Chargers
Hey Baltimore, if you fall victim to the late-blooming Chargers on Sunday night, I will laugh my non-existent butt off. Philip Rivers might be getting hot late once again, but that Raven defense can’t let up this week, especially in the midst of a playoff run. Baltimore wants that two-seed or the division title, and they need to win out to get either.
(10-3) Pittsburgh Steelers at(10-3) San Francisco 49ers
With no James Harrison on Monday night thanks to a suspension, the Niners might not give up nine sacks like they did against the Ravens on Thanksgiving. That is desperately needed for Alex Smith, who hasn’t proved he can get this team through the impending playoffs. San Fran needs to get a quality win for me to take them seriously and they just haven’t gotten it. I don’t see them finding it today either.
That’s it! Get your NFL Sunday on!
