Week 14 Predictions

Browns at Steelers
Didn't these teams just play? In Cleveland a big Big Ben 4th quarter carried Pittsburgh. Derek Anderson played well in relief of Charlie Frye, but it's going to be completely different with him starting. Steelers 24, Browns 10

Falcons at Buccaneers
Tampa Bay has been horrible of late. Don't expect their offense to wake up in this game. Falcons 24, Buccaneers 10

Ravens at Chiefs
A huge game for both sides, with both teams seeing their playoff position falter in tough losses last week. This is going to be an interesting game, as one side is very lacking on offense and the other is very lacking on defense. Ravens 17, Chiefs 13

Colts at Jaguars
I said it last week, and it failed me then, but I'm going to again say that the Jaguars are too inconsistent this season for me to trust. Colts 24, Jaguars 19

Vikings at Lions
Who cares? Lions 13, Vikings 9

Patriots at Dolphins
After a win streak, Miami got shut down by those darned Jaguars. New England has barely been scraping by; look for it to continue. Patriots 23, Dolphins 20

Giants at Panthers
The biggest game of the week. It looks like Delhomme will be at less than 100%, if he plays at all, which can only hurt the Panthers. Can you picture Chris Weinke playing well? Giants 24, Panthers 17

Raiders at Bengals
If Cincinnati doesn't win, they don't deserve to make the playoffs. Bengals 38, Raiders 10

Eagles at Redskins
Just a week ago Philly seemed to be in trouble, but now Jeff Garcia looks like an adequate replacement for McNabb. At this point Washington just wants to see Campbell play well. Eagles 27, Redskins 17

Titans at Texans
It's hard to pick against the Titans these days. And it's easy to pick against the Texans. So make this an upset pick. Tennessee's string of close wins is going to run out in a major letdown. Teams tend to fall back to earth when it is least expected. Texans 20, Titans 14

Packers at 49ers
With Rodgers hurt, there can't even be a QB controversy in Green Bay, leaving Favre trying too hard to carry the team. 49ers 27, Packers 24

Seahawks at Cardinals
With Hasselbeck and Alexander back at full strength, you have to take Seattle seriously as a possible NFC rep in the Super Bowl. Seahawks 31, Cardinals 24

Bills at Jets
The Jets could easily go 11-5 looking at their schedule. The Bills, however, are playing everybody tough. This will go down to the wire. Jets 24, Bills 21

Broncos at Chargers
San Diego has barely been scraping by. If Denver's defense (or anyone's defense) can stop Tomlinson they have a chance. However, you can't like Cutler's team in his second start. Chargers 21, Broncos 16

Saints at Cowboys
Game of the year in the NFC here. Romo showed he was human last week, but Brees has been lights out all year. This might come off as an upset even though both teams are 8-4. Saints 31, Cowboys 28

Bears at Rams
St. Louis has got to be frustrated with itself. It will only continue after Grossman struggles again but the Rams are stuck in the mud against the Chicago defense. Bears 10, Rams 3
