Games to Watch (Predicted winners in Bold)

Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, 1:00pm – Baltimore Ravens @ Washington Redskins

Terrell Suggs is a game-time decision, Ray Lewis is practicing but not eligible to play this weekend, and the Redskins are in must-win mode with a quarterback that can actually get them wins. The Ravens typically own the Redskins, but a new era seems to have fallen over Washington.

Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, 1:00pm – Dallas Cowboys @ Cincinnati Bengals

The Cowboys beat the Browns in Dallas, barely, off of some lucky plays and questionable officiating. The Bengals beat the Giants, and have the advantage this weekend of playing at home. Andy Dalton is having a pretty terrific season. I think it’s clear why I’m taking the Who Dey for this one.

Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, 4:25pm – New Orleans Saints @ New York Giants

I really wanted to pick Who Dat here. No, really I just wanted to say Who Dat after I said Who Dey. But not that I have, I can get to what is really going to happen. The Saints are out of the playoffs at this point, and the Giants need a bounce back game because a loss puts them in a situation where they will be in a tie with the Redskins and/or the Cowboys depending on their games.

Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, 8:20pm – Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers

The Packers will win this one. No doubt. It might not even be close. But the game will still be watchable because Ndamukong Suh is playing, and it’s always fun to see what he’ll do, and deny doing, next.

Monday, Dec. 10, 2012, 8:30pm – Houston Texans @ New England Patriots

For the second week in a row we have a really good Monday game lined up, probably even the game of the week. The Texans are, in opinion, the best team in the NFL, and that’s why I am picking them to win. But the Patriots are no slouches and they are trying to show that even in what many, including myself, would consider an ‘off year’ for them, they should still be considered the best in the NFL.

Stay tuned for recaps of this week’s games. Thanks for reading and enjoy the fourteenth week of the season!
