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!

One year the Chiefs backed into the play-offs and it was quite embarrassing. I don't want to see it happen again. I'm pretty sure the Chargers will be the top dog in our division.
For tonight's game I'm going to try one more time. Jets.

Twas the month before Christmas and no sign of snow. But N.O. doesn't care cause the Saints are 11 & 0. Dinkins scored a touchdown, Sharper intercepted a pass. And the Who Dat Nation cheered when Brady was sacked on his ass. Sunday the Redskins, to Washington we will go. And when the Black and Gold get finished we'll be 12.........& 0! Go Brees, Go Henderson, Thomas,Harper & Ellis, our teams UNDEFEATED and the others are jealous!

Nice rhyming Pixie. I liked that.
The bag over the head at the games started way back in New Orleans. I always got a kick out of it. I see that some other fans are doing that this year.

Hey as a LONG time Saints fan. (I'm dating myself but since Archie) I'm giddy wtih excitement! Its been awhile...

The Jets win! (Making them even at .500!!) The Bills lose--(Making that decision to fire the head coach in the middle of the season look better and better--doesn't it?)
So we wait to see if Miami can beat The Patriots---so that Jets win can count for something in that division.

Some folks at Fox Sports Network ranked The Titans/Colts game as the 5th most important game of the week, and The Cardinal/Vikings as the #1 most important game of the week!
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/pgStory?contentId=10464700>1=390...
Is that really fair and balance--or are they fairies and unbalanced in the sports department too?
