Gator people are gonna think the worm has went all crazy, but did you see all the head to head games with play off implications for both teams? It might be eaiser to list the games that are not game of the week! Enough about the games gator how does a gator in pink get any respect? Oh, thats hitting below the tooth line, sorry about that, hey lets dive in and see who is the daisy wearer this week shall we?

That vacation must have cleared your brain worm. Hold on, do worms even have brains? I think we now have a scientific discovery in Week 14 we realized that worms have brains! It took long enough for us to figure that out. :p
Now onto the bean counting! So far on the season Crunked is 93-67(12-4 last week) against me; and I am 109-51(10-6 last week)against Crunked. Gators is 141-67 for the season in his predictions thread. Gators currently leads 6-2-3 against Crunked.

Kansas City at New York Giants 5:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Dang, I thought I was going to have a different prediction than you in this game Crunked. Both teams need a win desperately, the Chiefs were oh so close last week and the Giants were oh so lucky. Saturday is going to be a very fun day of football with both of these matches. This is gonna be a fun weekend. In a "Giants haven't sewn up the division yet"

-Look you can't swing an injured Giant without hitting a big game, two teams that really need to win out go head to head, I won't be able to peel my NFL lovin' eye balls off the TV screen with two stellar back to back match ups...dang , the Giants suffered some injuries last week, who will tape it up and go out and play smash mouth, In typical KC fashion they could win this one outright, they have one of the most hostile stadiums in the NFL but it will be half a world away, it won't matter too much offense for the Giants to match up with, right now.

Arizona at Houston 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Both of these 2 teams find ways to lose. Texans lose by missed 30 yarders that I would have been closer and I can't kick worth anything and the Cardinals lose on a kickoff return for TD and lose despite forcing 3 red zone turnovers. No, I'm not thinking that Crunked. I've thought that waaaaaaaaay too much. I'm thinking about how the Texans lose this week. Here's what I've come up with. Texans are winning with 5 secs left and the ball, David Carr drops back to take a knee for the first time of the year and the defensive line gets to him and sacks him and force a fumble before he puts his knee down. Then they pick up the ball and return it all the way. I guess that only happens in movies.... In a "Back to reality: Reality says the Texans are just that bad"

New York Jets at Miami 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Both teams had emotional wins. It seems like the Dolphins always get 1 emotional win a year(last year against the Pats) and this year it's against the Super Chargers. Any Jets win is an emotional one. :) The Jets are basically now out of the Reggie Bush race. So it was a bittersweet win for most Jets fans. In a "One of these teams won't get a 2 game winning streak"

-There are games of fame, games of glory. Games which define a season and games to hold serve until one is ready for the ultimate battle, this game is none of these.

Philadelphia at St. Louis 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Eagles want to prove that they can win without TO and McNabb, while the Rams want to prove that they can stop anyone, even a team without their 3 big offensive stars. Both teams had high expectations going into the season are now showered with Top 10-15 pick dreams. Fitzpatrick is too smart to not bounce back from his 5 INT game. In a "It doesn't take a Harvard graduate to realize how to not throw 5 INT's"
Rams 31 Eagles 21
Bait:
-Oiy I feel like every match up has such a story to tell, here are two teams without their QB's nowhere near where they thought they would be at this point playing for the thing they never thought would come to them, Pride....as ugly as it is and as mean as it sounds its true, this will be the best preseason game of the season to date (stay tuned for Seattle-Colts next week) but there just isnt a whole lot to root for here for fans, they are playing for pride and draft picks.

Pittsburgh at Minnesota 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
I like to be different, so I'm going to pick the opposite team of what you picked. Steelers had a big win against the Bears last week in a huge snow game. The Vikings play in a dome, so they don't have to worry about that this week. The Vikings picked up their 6th straight win. In a "Roethlisbergers taste good without Heinz field as well"
Steelers 24 Vikings 23

San Diego at Indianpolis 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator: I learned from my mistake last week by picking against the Colts, so I won't pick against them this week. My bold prediction though is Colts go 17-0 and meet up with the Pats in the AFC Championship game and it's deja vu from past seasons. ;) Chargers really need this win, but Colts are just too good. In a "Colts are getting Crunked for the perfect season"
Colts 24 Super Chargers 21
Bait:
-Lets get right to it, SHOCKER ALERT!!!!!!!! Colts undefeated season slips away as the Chargers mount a fourth quarter comeback.....you heard it here first.

Seattle at Tennessee 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Seattle is looking to sew up homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, but as Crunked said, a game against the Colts is looming and the Titans nearly lost to the Texans, which is inexcusable. This game will be much closer than people think, I think that it will be similar to the Seahawks/Niners game earlier in the year(not last week's) when it was only 27-25 and they gave them fits. In a "Now the question is do you play hard next week?"
Seahawks 27 Titans 25.

San Francisco at Jacksonville 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
After a big loss last week, the Jags play 3 of the teams in the Top 5 of the draft. They control their own destiny and should finish 12-4 and in the playoffs, but like Crunked mentioned they play down to teams. Also the Niners were thoroughly embarrassed last week and you nkow they will come out with avengence this week. Oh wait, they got the #2 pick pretty much sewn up, nevermind.
Jags 21 Niners 20
Bait:
-Here is where 'pinky-gator's Jags normally play down to their opponent. Well they better hope that is out of their system after last weeks loss, they need to mount a handful more wins to ensure a playoff spot.

Cincinnati at Detroit 4:05 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
The Bengals struggled against the Browns. Carson Palmer played by far his worst game of the year, while the Lions gave the Packers their 3rd win on a questionable safety call in which they should have won in regulation. Now the only question for the Lions is which WR do you take in the draft? In a "Predict Chad Johnson's 2 TD dances this week against Dre Bly"
Bengals 42 Lions 17
Bait:
-The Bengals go against the paper Lions? oh this could be quite painful for the Detroit crowd, they might start the "Joey" chant again. When you have fans calling out for Harrington you know there are a lot of frustated NFL spectators gathered, lets hope Cincy make it a quick and painless death

Cleveland at Oakland 4:05 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Oakland lost to the horrible Jets and Cleveland played the Bengals very tough last week. Charlie Frye is looking really good(there I said it Raiden), while Tuisopo looked really bad last week. The difference is the Tui has all the weapons with Moss and Porter while the Browns WR core is solid, nothing special. Browns played the pass great last week, but can they do it again? In a "Do you like your Tuisopo fryed?"
Browns 21 Raiders 17
Bait:
Norv is desperate and sinking like a stone, there is very little to salvage for the season or the club AL is sharpening his post season hatchet and heads will roll after the last week of the regular season.

Dallas at Washington 4:15 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
For once the Redskins are coming off of a win against the Cowboys in the series(I believe Cowboys are 14-2 in the last 16 meetings). Skins pulled off a miraculous comeback that all Cowboy fans are still shocked over. It was the Santana Moss explosion. Well Cowboys will be wanting revenge, because that game could cost them the NFC East title. Expect Terry Glenn to make a Santana Moss type explosion this week. Both teams are fighting for their playoff lives, although the Skins are fighting harder. 1 loss and they are done. In a "History just had a hiccup in the last meeting, it will continue as scheduled"
Cowboys 14 Skins 13
Bait:
- I agree with gator in that the final score will be close and could go either way, however I just find it hard to believe Dallas with no running game can overcome Clinton Portis. Come on wasn't he touted as the second coming when he entered DC? Lets give the football savior some respect.

Atlanta at Chicago 8:30 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
This will be a huge test for Chicago's front 7. Can they contain a really high powered running attack or generate any kind of offense in the snow? The question for the Bears is do you yank Orton who doesn't put up the stats, but puts up the W's for Grossman who never really proven himself either? In a "Chicago-"Snow and wind what could be better to play football in?" Atlanta-"A dome"
Bears 17 Falcons 13
Bait:
To Orton or not to Orton, that is the question? Well if Lovie and Thurston were wondering should I? should I not? Now is the moment in this motion picture for the should I.....The Bears can't afford another loss neither can the Falcons, but I think Chicago has a better rhythm going than do the dirty birds right now, they seem out of phase at times as a team.
Bears 15 Atlanta 14

Green Bay at Baltimore 9:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
I can see why this was a huge MNF matchup at the beginning of the season, but now you wonder if anyone is actually going to watch this. Both teams have good defenses and both QB's are struggling. Farve has 19 TD passes this year, but he also has 22 INT's, which just won't cut it. Boller, well he always struggles. Packers got a win last week against division rival the Lions and Boller nearly pulled off a win against the Broncos last week. In a "I think I would rather study then watch this game"
Packers 10 Ravens 3
Bait:
-No offense versus no defense, a wash up and a wash out, wont run and cant run. Loved by the millions paying out millions. These teams have everything and nothing in common. The Ravens defense has been stiff all year, but it doesnt generate turnovers, The Farve's only weakness is giving up lots of turnovers, something has to give.
Packers 13 Ravens 10

Eagles want to prove that they can win without TO and McNabb, while the Rams want to prove that they can stop anyone, even a team without their 3 big offensive stars. Both teams had high expectations going into the season are now showered with Top 10-15 pick dreams. Fitzpatrick is too smart to not bounce back from his 5 INT game. In a "It doesn't take a Harvard graduate to realize how to not throw 5 INT's"
Rams 31 Eagles 21
Bait:
-Oiy I feel like every match up has such a story to tell, here are two teams without their QB's nowhere near where they thought they would be at this point playing for the thing they never thought would come to them, Pride....as ugly as it is and as mean as it sounds its true, this will be the best preseason game of the season to date (stay tuned for Seattle-Colts next week) but there just isnt a whole lot to root for here for fans, they are playing for pride and draft picks.
Philly 18 St. Louis 16

Pittsburgh at Minnesota 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
I like to be different, so I'm going to pick the opposite team of what you picked. Steelers had a big win against the Bears last week in a huge snow game. The Vikings play in a dome, so they don't have to worry about that this week. The Vikings picked up their 6th straight win. In a "Roethlisbergers taste good without Heinz field as well"
Steelers 24 Vikings 23

-Ooooh, here is where we seperate the worms from the gators eh? Whatever kind of lead either one of us has can go right out the window with these next two gator...scared? Are your teeth chattering? Well lets get bold or go home, right?

San Diego at Indianpolis 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator: I learned from my mistake last week by picking against the Colts, so I won't pick against them this week. My bold prediction though is Colts go 17-0 and meet up with the Pats in the AFC Championship game and it's deja vu from past seasons. ;) Chargers really need this win, but Colts are just too good. In a "Colts are getting Crunked for the perfect season"
Colts 24 Super Chargers 21
Bait:
-Lets get right to it, SHOCKER ALERT!!!!!!!! Colts undefeated season slips away as the Chargers mount a fourth quarter comeback.....you heard it here first. After being in commanding lead for 3 quarters the Colts appeared to be looking to their next game one quarter too soon as the Chargers didn't roll over for the Manning led Colts (film at 11)

Seattle at Tennessee 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Seattle is looking to sew up homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, but as Crunked said, a game against the Colts is looming and the Titans nearly lost to the Texans, which is inexcusable. This game will be much closer than people think, I think that it will be similar to the Seahawks/Niners game earlier in the year(not last week's) when it was only 27-25 and they gave them fits. In a "Now the question is do you play hard next week?"
Seahawks 27 Titans 25.

-Seattle while running for the endzone and looking forward to the Colts visit next week trip but dont fall flat on their face, after all they are playing the Titans.

San Francisco at Jacksonville 1:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
After a big loss last week, the Jags play 3 of the teams in the Top 5 of the draft. They control their own destiny and should finish 12-4 and in the playoffs, but like Crunked mentioned they play down to teams. Also the Niners were thoroughly embarrassed last week and you nkow they will come out with avengence this week. Oh wait, they got the #2 pick pretty much sewn up, nevermind.
Jags 21 Niners 20
Bait:
-Here is where 'pinky-gator's Jags normally play down to their opponent. Well they better hope that is out of their system after last weeks loss, they need to mount a handful more wins to ensure a playoff spot.

Cincinnati at Detroit 4:05 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
The Bengals struggled against the Browns. Carson Palmer played by far his worst game of the year, while the Lions gave the Packers their 3rd win on a questionable safety call in which they should have won in regulation. Now the only question for the Lions is which WR do you take in the draft? In a "Predict Chad Johnson's 2 TD dances this week against Dre Bly"
Bengals 42 Lions 17
Bait:
-The Bengals go against the paper Lions? oh this could be quite painful for the Detroit crowd, they might start the "Joey" chant again. When you have fans calling out for Harrington you know there are a lot of frustated NFL spectators gathered, lets hope Cincy make it a quick and painless death

Cleveland at Oakland 4:05 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
Oakland lost to the horrible Jets and Cleveland played the Bengals very tough last week. Charlie Frye is looking really good(there I said it Raiden), while Tuisopo looked really bad last week. The difference is the Tui has all the weapons with Moss and Porter while the Browns WR core is solid, nothing special. Browns played the pass great last week, but can they do it again? In a "Do you like your Tuisopo fryed?"
Browns 21 Raiders 17
Bait:
Norv is desperate and sinking like a stone, there is very little to salvage for the season or the club AL is sharpening his post season hatchet and heads will roll after the last week of the regular season.

Dallas at Washington 4:15 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
For once the Redskins are coming off of a win against the Cowboys in the series(I believe Cowboys are 14-2 in the last 16 meetings). Skins pulled off a miraculous comeback that all Cowboy fans are still shocked over. It was the Santana Moss explosion. Well Cowboys will be wanting revenge, because that game could cost them the NFC East title. Expect Terry Glenn to make a Santana Moss type explosion this week. Both teams are fighting for their playoff lives, although the Skins are fighting harder. 1 loss and they are done. In a "History just had a hiccup in the last meeting, it will continue as scheduled"
Cowboys 14 Skins 13
Bait:
- I agree with gator in that the final score will be close and could go either way, however I just find it hard to believe Dallas with no running game can overcome Clinton Portis. Come on wasn't he touted as the second coming when he entered DC? Lets give the football savior some respect.

Atlanta at Chicago 8:30 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
This will be a huge test for Chicago's front 7. Can they contain a really high powered running attack or generate any kind of offense in the snow? The question for the Bears is do you yank Orton who doesn't put up the stats, but puts up the W's for Grossman who never really proven himself either? In a "Chicago-"Snow and wind what could be better to play football in?" Atlanta-"A dome"
Bears 17 Falcons 13
Bait:
To Orton or not to Orton, that is the question? Well if Lovie and Thurston were wondering should I? should I not? Now is the moment in this motion picture for the should I.....The Bears can't afford another loss neither can the Falcons, but I think Chicago has a better rhythm going than do the dirty birds right now, they seem out of phase at times as a team.
Bears 15 Atlanta 14

Green Bay at Baltimore 9:00 p.m.
:gator:Gator:
I can see why this was a huge MNF matchup at the beginning of the season, but now you wonder if anyone is actually going to watch this. Both teams have good defenses and both QB's are struggling. Farve has 19 TD passes this year, but he also has 22 INT's, which just won't cut it. Boller, well he always struggles. Packers got a win last week against division rival the Lions and Boller nearly pulled off a win against the Broncos last week. In a "I think I would rather study then watch this game"
Packers 10 Ravens 3
Bait:
-No offense versus no defense, a wash up and a wash out, wont run and cant run. Loved by the millions paying out millions. These teams have everything and nothing in common. The Ravens defense has been stiff all year, but it doesnt generate turnovers, The Farve's only weakness is giving up lots of turnovers, something has to give.
Packers 13 Ravens 10
