Favorite Match-Ups

This intense New York match-up technically has no home team, but season tickets and such give the Giants some edge. Both of these teams have dominant offense, so watch for a shootout. The issue is, making sure these offenses work together, despite plenty of options for Ryan Fitzpatrick and Eli Manning. So, that makes this a very intriguing match-up. But when teams are so close like this, I usually just pick the home team. Anyhow, there are still things to watch for from both offenses.
What To Watch For
Jets – All eyes on Jets running backs. Chris Ivory, Stevan Ridley and Bilal Powell take on a somewhat weak Giants rush D. The secondary isn’t much better. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has got Brandon Marshall taken care of, but also open your peepers for Eric Decker.
Giants – Can Hakeem Nicks make an impact? Darrelle Revis is out, so either him or Rueben Randle will be left with Buster Skrine, while Antonio Cromartie takes on OBJ. Nicks was signed by the Giants in the middle of November.
Pick A Winner!

This may be match-up of the week. This will surely shake up the playoff picture, and it’s between two underrated teams. The Seahawks lost Jimmy Graham last week to a torn patellar tendon. The Seahawks must rely on other lower tier receivers like Doug Baldwin, Luke Willson and Tyler Lockett. Meanwhile, the Vikings star running back, Adrian Peterson, will be too heavily guarded to do much against a strong Seattle defense. Their good receiver trio will also be guarded, Charles Johnson, Stefon Diggs and Mike Wallace. They must rely on their own tight end, Kyle Rudolph. We last saw him at this level in 2013, when AP was hurt.
What To Watch For
Seahawks – All eyes on Thomas Rawls. Rawls had a 60 yard game vs the Steelers last week and hopes to continue to damage the Vikings. The rookie is the Stefon Diggs of Seattle.
Vikings – Like I said, watch for Kyle Rudolph. He had his big year in 2013, and it’s almost seemed like he retired, but he is still really there. If you throw to him more, maybe he’ll get his groove going again. And just in time for Christmas :).

This tough AFC West match-up could factor into deciding Denver’s faith. If Denver wins, then it’s down to this game to decide if they clinch the division. If the Chiefs win, then Denver’s still fighting. If the Raiders win, they clinch. Despite Kansas City’s red hot reign, Oakland has potential to win this game. They’re such a feast or famine team. Today better be a feast, despite Oakland’s recent struggles.
What To Watch For
Chiefs – Chiefs receivers Jeremy Maclin and Albert Wilson must be on their best against a weak Raiders secondary. Watch for Jeremy Maclin to have a big game. He’ll be motivated, with Travis Kelce under Charles Woodson’s watch.
Raiders – Amari Cooper shall feast on the Chiefs. If Amari Cooper gets something going, he can have a third hundred yard game. Otherwise, he’ll have a sixth 20 or less yard game.
Pick A Winner!

In another match-up crucial to the playoff picture. In just the blink of an eye, with a Steelers win, they’ll be in the playoff picture, and the Colts culd be out, especially if Houston wins. Big Ben will play, even a little banged up, but they have good receiving options, and a stud handcuff to Le’ Veon Bell (MCL tear) in DeAngelo Williams. Can Big Ben lead them to victory over Matt Hasselbeck’s Colts, 4-0 under him?
What To Watch For
Colts – Watch for Andre Johnson and other high tier receivers. Johnson , the veteran, has been left be practically all season, and now is his time to make a mark in what may be his final season of a sensational career before retiring.
Steelers – DeAngelo Williams!!! Williams is bound for a big game against a somewhat weak Colts Rush D. Also look for Markus Wheaton to continue what he did last week at CenturyLink, a sequel. Except this time, the Steelers can more easily get the W.
Pick A Winner!

The Cowboys are missing Tony Romo again, this time for the rest of the season. They have yet to win a game without him in the backfield. Meanwhile, the Redskins are suddenly heating up, and snatched the weak NFC East. Can they continue their reign over the division or will they fall. This game is an important one to win, although it will be close. Will Dallas stay win-less when Romo-less?
What To Watch For
Cowboys – Watch for the tight ends. The weak Redskins secondary only has enough to cover Dez Bryant with their stars. Jason Witten and Gavin Escobar will be left to … DOMINATE!!! Seriously, don’t forget those tight ends.
Redskins – If their offense can keep their groove, and the youngsters continue to play as big of a role as they have, then the Redskins should be fine and win this easily.
Pick A Winner!
