Well this one sure looks good on paper.13-2 Tennessee Titans against the 11-4 Indianapolis Colts, and this would be a great game if it were January. Unfortunately it’s still December and both these teams are locked into their playoff spots heading into post-season. Tennessee by virtue of their big win over Pittsburgh Sunday has home field throughout the AFC playoffs, and Indianapolis at 11-4 can’t improve or worsen their number 5 seeding. So with both teams playing for nothing but pride this game will have a pre-season feel to it Sunday. So we’ll take a look at both these teams and start with the visiting Titans.

Carolina at the Giants has all you could want in a regular season match up. The two best teams in the NFC with identical 11-3 records play this one Sunday night for the coveted home field advantage throughout the playoffs. These two teams come into this one headed in opposite directions as the Giants, who looked invincible a couple of weeks, have now lost 2 games in a row while the Carolina Panthers seemingly have found their stride the last couple of weeks. So let’s take a closer look at both teams and we’ll start with the visiting Carolina Panthers.

Well both these teams are off very disappointing losses last week. Carolina had to chance to put some distance between them and the Falcons with a win but Atlanta came up big in a 45-28 win in the Georgia Dome and now the Carolina Panthers trail by Tampa Bay by virtue of the tie break. Green Bay went into Monday night very confident that they would handle the Saints and stay tied with the Bears and Vikings atop the NFC North, but the Packers ran into hot QB and inspired Saints defense in the 51-29 loss. With the losses for both clubs last week this Game Sunday becomes very pivotal for both teams as neither can afford a loss. So who bounces back here on Sunday? Let’s take a look at both teams and start with the visiting Carolina Panthers.

Can’t help but be impressed with the rookie QB Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons this season. Atlanta 6-3 this season and they’re taking care of business at home with a 4-0 straight and ATS record this season. Atlanta just one game back of Carolina in the very competitive NFC South and a win here Sunday would be another big step toward a possible playoff spot. Denver Broncos on the other hand lead the weak AFC West with a 5-4 record but they’ve had to ride the arm of Jay Cutler and his 2616 yards of passing offense this season. So let’s take a look at both teams and we’ll start with the visiting Broncos.

The Tennessee Titans may have silenced some of the critics with an impressive come from behind win over Indianapolis Monday night. Titans remain the only unbeaten team in the league at 7-0, but they’ll have test on their hands here Sunday when the Packers come to town. Green Bay is also coming off a win over Indianapolis in week 7 and they manhandled the Colts in a 34-14 win at Lambeau Field. Packers played their best game of the year in that win and they should be a well prepared team having the bye week to get ready for the Titans Sunday. So let’s take a closer look at both these squads and we’ll start with the visiting Packers.

Who’d of thunk that the Redskins would be 3-1 and sitting in the second spot of the NFC East after their opening night debacle against the NY Giants. Washington is coming off 3 straight wins including the big upset of Dallas in big “D” Sunday. The Eagles off a frustrating Sunday night loss at Chicago in which they missed 2 field goals and failed to punch it in from point blank late in the game. Despite this loss the Eagles are from out of any race at this point of the season and a win here over a divisional opponent would be big. So let’s take a closer look at both these teams and we’ll start as always with the visiting Redskins.

AFC EAST
New England - 18 wins and one GIANT loss later, the Pats are quite capable of running the table again, including a win in SB XLIII on the first Sunday in February 2009 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The schedule is VERY favorable, the offense remains extremely potent, and Bill Belichick is still the best coach in the game. The concerns are on defense, where Asante Samuel’s departure leaves a considerable hole in the secondary. The linebackers are on the wrong side of 30 (Bruschi 35, Vrable 33), and that could be a weak spot against AFC playoff foes. Uncharacteristically, there have been some off-season legal issues for several players. The Patriots will win the division with room to spare, and make another deep run in the post season.
