TBD on Ning
What is your game for week 13?
It is week 13!! Will your team have a lucky 13--or a evil 13? This should be a week where we will get to see the 'big picture' of what the playoff season is going to look like. There are a few teams that have a do or die game as far as even getting a wild card position is concern! The team on the top of that list would be The Washington Redskins, who are currently 4 games out in NFC wildcard race--and there are only 5 games left. The unfortunate thing is The Redskins are playing The New Orlean's Saints--this time around! For some strange reason I am thinking that The Saint will be doing--and The Skins will be dying.
Let's check out the schedule for the rest of The League's schedule--shall we?

So what are the games of interest this week? Perhaps the most influetial game is going to belong to The Titans (5/6), Colts (11/0) game. As we all know--Vince Young and his Titans have been nothing less then spectacular in thier last 5 games--and really got the turned around team of the year. Thier 5 games in a row wins put them just 1 game out in the wildcard! JUST 1 GAME!!! (Broncos, Jaguars, Ravens and Steelers are all tied for 1st place in The AFC's Wildcards) BUT--this week--The Titans are playing The Colts--who always find a way to win--no mater how much of a deficit they may have! Could this be the proverbial running into a brick wall for The Titans? (side note--I am sure if The Titans had it thier way--it would have been week 14 already--because they play The Rams next week!)
The game with the most 'gotta win this one to make it easier to get a spot' influences is the Jets (5/6), Bills (4/7) game tonight. Jets are tied with the Dolphins for 2nd place position with both team being 2 games shy of 1st place Patriots. BUT both teams are also 1 game out in The wild Cards race! If The Jets wins and The Patriots lose--The Jets will pull within 1 game of the Patriots--and set themselves up in a better position in The Wildcard race. The Bills--still have a slim-but there position being that they are currently only 3 games out in thier divisional race--and--only 2 games out in the Wildcard race. So yeah--look for this to be a hard fought game--since there is a lot riding on this one for both teams.
The game with "The most to gain if we win" influence will be the New England Patriots (7/4) Miami Dolphins (5/6) game. As mentioned, The Dolphins shares a 2nd place tie with The Jets, and the team that is in 1st place in that division--is The Patriots--who coincidentally are also a 1st place team in the Wildcard race. If Miami wins this one (Go Miami! Go!!), they will be able to move up a notch in both catergories!)
There is a tie for the games with the most 'uh oh!' influence--and I am giving that to both the Denver Broncos (7/4) Kansas City Chiefs (3/8) game and the Oakland Raiders (3/8) Pittsburgh Steelers (6/5) game. Both The Chiefs and The Raiders are currently only 3 games out in the AFC wild card race. If either one of these two teams lose thier games and any one of the 1st place teams (as mentioned in 'The most influential game' paragraph), That will put Chiefs and/or Raiders at 4 games out next week. And since there will only be 4 games left by next week...then....well..I am sure u are getting the picture here--Right Ubu???
Ok folks--that is the best of observations I got. As always--if u have an observation I miss--please be sure to mention it. Does anybody have the NFL Network and will be watching tonight's Jets/Bills game? If yes--can u please contact me? please? Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that out, Heart. Go ahead and point out the fact I chose the Chiefs, too. Let's see anything else? Oh the Chiefs QB passer rating was 3.2 at one point in time. Heap it on, I'm about as low as I can get. Oh, wait now Oakland is beating Pittsburgh. I think I'll go stand on the freeway. I may be seeing Larry there if his team loses again.

Hey--don't feel to bad UBU--I picked The Rams--remember?
-
-
And yes==Oakland is beating Pittsburgh in the 4th quarter--and Larry is currently hiding--because he doesn't want to go back to the trauma unit!!
-
-
Ok--Oakland is no longer beating Pittsburgh in the 4th quarter. At least they are not winning at this moment anyhow!
-
-
Oakland is beating Pittsburgh in the 4th quarter!! I repeat--Oakland is beating Pittsburgh in the 4th quarter!! It is 13/10 with under 8 minutes to go!!!!
-

I wish I had the option to watch a different game. The only game I can watch after this mess is the Dallas/NYG game.
-
-
Redskins just added 3 more points to thier score!! It is 30/20 with under 13 minutes left!! Indy will definitely win thier game though!
-
-
Oakland is beating Pittsburgh again!! They just added 3 point for a 20/17 lead!! What the heck????
-
-
Steelers just took over the lead again with a TD. It is 24/20 with about 90 seconds left to play. Miami might have just blown thier chances after missing a 4th and 3 play!

The Bears finally remembered how to win one, but I'm bummed about the Saints.

Don't fret yet--It is only 30/23 Washington at this point--with about 7 minutes left to!
