NFLFan's Journal: NFL 2006: Week 14

Thursday, Dec. 7
Cleveland at Pittsburgh 8:00 p.m.
I like the Steelers. I should probably pick the Browns because the Steelers won their last meeting and I think it makes sense to see these these teams split the series but with the short week I got to go with the better team.

Sunday, Dec. 10
Atlanta at Tampa Bay 1:00 p.m.
I like the Falcons. Two teams going in the wrong direction.

Baltimore at Kansas City 1:00 p.m.
I like the Ravens. The Ravens rebound from a bad loss last week.

Indianapolis at Jacksonville 1:00 p.m.
I like the Colts. Really it more of a matter of not like the Jaguars.

Minnesota at Detroit 1:00 p.m.
I like the Vikings. The Lions almost pull off the upset last week; so they should still be suffering from the post-celebratory hangover, right?

New England at Miami 1:00 p.m.
I like the Dolphins. I felt the Dolphins would split this series at the beginning of the year and while I actually the Patriots will win I am sticking with my pre-season prediction here.

N.Y. Giants at Carolina 1:00 p.m.
I like the Panthers. The Giants are falling apart. The Panthers are being held together with duct tape. That is how I see it.

Oakland at Cincinnati 1:00 p.m.
I like the Bengals. This is a game the old Bengals would have lost.

Philadelphia at Washington 1:00 p.m.
I like the Eagles. I expected so much of the Redskins this year and the Eagles showed so much promise early. There is a lesson here.

Tennessee at Houston 1:00 p.m.
I like the Titans. Vince Young.

Green Bay at San Francisco 4:05 p.m.
I like the Packers. I don't know why.

Seattle at Arizona 4:05 p.m.
I like the Seahawks. The Cardinals are everybody's whipping boy!

Buffalo at N.Y. Jets 4:15 p.m.
I like the Jets. Who really thought the Jets would be decent this year?

Denver at San Diego 4:15 p.m.
I like the Chargers. Could it be that the Broncos miss Gary Kubiak?

New Orleans at Dallas 8:15 p.m.
I like the Cowboys. The Saints are a decent little team but they are not there yet. I was a fool for dismissing all of that pre-season Tony Romo hype.

Monday, Dec. 11
Chicago at St. Louis 8:30 p.m.
I like the Bears. Grossman has to elevate his game if the Bears are going to be big contenders in January and hopefully February.
