It was not very difficult to choose this week's most influential game. There is no doubt in my mind that that title belongs to the San Diego Chargers (11/3) Tennessee Titans (7/7) game. Forget the fact that The Chargers have claimed thier division after 9 consecutive wins. The Titans will not be concern with that--Thier only concern will be that they are 1 of 8 teams ( Ravens, Broncos, Jaguars, Dolphins, Jets, Steelers, Texans, and yes--The Titans), who are still in The AFC Wildcards race--The Ravens and The Broncos are holding 1st place for that race--with the other 6 teams all currently placed at being 1 game behind them in that race. However, what makes The Titans different then any of the other teams in the race--is the Titans were not even thought of to be in this race at all. As you know--they got off to a terrible start losing thier first 6 games--then coming back to win thier next 6 before losing again to the Colts. Now out of the 6 teams that are 1 game behind, The Titans have the best record (5/1, compared to a team like Steelers who are 1/5 over thier last 6!) of thier last 6 games, and certainly prove themselves to be a hungry team. Can they stop the Chargers' charging--and there fore turn a distatorous season into a playoff contending team?

The game with the most "We are going to put our foot down on this one" influences will go to the Baltimore Ravens (8/6) Pittsburgh Steelers (7/7) game. As mentioned--The Ravens currently hold a tie for 1st place in the wildcard race with The Broncos, and The Steelers are one of 6 teams who is currently 1 game behind that! Now with the Steelers having some rather shall we say 'unfavorable' playings of late (Having been beaten by The Rams, Raiders, and Browns), and the Raven doing good enough to be in both thier divisional race (1 game behind The Bengals) as well as the Wildcard race, I am sure they have enough motivation within them to not lose this game, and there fore will take whatever place they will with the Playoffs--after they melt The Steelers down. (Sorry Larrry--dealing with reality here!)

The game with the most 'Almost even all the way around' influences goes to the Houston Texans (7/7) Miami Dolphins (7/7). Asides from the fact that both teams have a .500 record, both teams are also posting a 2nd place, 1 game behind position in thier wildcard race. The only difference is The Texans are in the same division as The Colts, and are currently 7 games behind the Colts--and therefore--totally and completely out of the divisional race. HoweverThe Miami Dolphins--are still in thier divisional race--being tied with The Jets with 2 games behind The Patriots. Should the Dolphins win the game-(And The Patriots lose to The Jaguars of course), -it is highly possible that the Dolphins will stand alone in 2nd place by the end of the day, since The Jets will be playing The Colts.

Which brings us to the game with the most "Why did we have to end up like this?" influence which will belong to the New York Jets (7/7) Indianapolis Colts (14/0) game. Now I am a fan of The New York Jets--But--Playing against the Colts? Uhmmm..sorry--no way!! sorry Jets--but I think your season is over!

Ok--so it is about 45 minutes from the start of the Chargers/Titan games--so I will wrap it up here---As always, if u feel I miss an important game--or if u want to just give a shout out for your team--I certainly would appreciate it!

At the Half--The Titans are hanging in there! Literally hanging! It is 21/10 in The Chargers favor!
Well...The Chargers definitely zap the Titans out of the game last night with a score of 42/17. Now the only question is will that end the titans season? The Titans have to hope that botht the Ravens and The Broncos lose thier games in order for The Titans to remain in it. Let's all say this together---ready? "Yeah right!!! Fat chance!!"
Wouldn't it be just awful if the Steelers slid into the playoffs again? Kind of like 1989 when they needed a lot of wild card contenders to lose, and, lose they did. If this happens, the NFL will die with all the Steeler haters boycotting it. Let's not forget 3 years ago when they beat Seattle in the Super Bowl, Pittsburgh had the worst record of all the playoff teams. They needed to win 3 playoff-away games to get to the big dance, and win they did. What a storied organization. No wonder they're loved/hated.
I'm sorry bro, but I don't think they'll make it all the way.
Hence---why they should apprpiately be renamed The Stealers.

Our team is getting creamed (Seahawks) AKA Chickens.
We all need chicken for Thanksgiving/Christmas and thus save the turkeys.
