NFL Week 14---A Quick Preview

Not of every game. That would be silly. Because no one needs to spend time thinking about Brock Berlin's pro debut in the rain/sleet/snow in Cincy against a bad Bengals team on behalf of a bad Rams team. Oh. Sorry. I've already said too much.

What games do matter today (based on who would make the playoffs if the season ended today)?

These among others:

Miami at Buffalo: The Bills at 6-6 are right in the thick of the last playoff spot chase in the AFC. The Dolphins are fuck-awful. Any reason to linger on this one when flipping by it on your NFL Sunday Ticket? The weather. Snow and sleet in Buffalo in December. That and seeing who Miami is auditioning on offense this week.

Dallas at Detroit: If only to watch the continued meltdown of Detroit's once promising season. Insert your own why has G-d forsaken the Lions comment here. My thought? Her sense of humor is well developed and cruel.

San Diego at Tennessee: This one just oozes Chargers get rolled. As between a Norv Turner coached team and a Jeff Fisher coached team at this point in the season, I know which team will likely be mentally and physically prepared to play and which won't.

Arizona at Seattle: With a two-game lead on the Cardinals, the Seahawks are likely headed to another NFC West title. The Cardinals are in the thick of the Wild Card chase to boot. If history holds, the beginning of Arizona's late season testicle kick of their fanbase begins today.

Cleveland at NY Jets: Browns will lose another. Mark it.

And then, this one:

Pittsburgh at New England: Undefeated seasons on the line. Guarantees. Good teams. Probably a reason or two somewhere in there to tune in. And then some.
