Fraser’s Favorites Week 14

Cleveland at Pittsburgh

There was a time earlier in the season when “experts” were calling this Steelers team old and washed up. This team should be a reminder to us all that the first several games of the season do not determine how successful a team will be. All of the statistics can be thrown away about “0-2 teams making or not making the playoffs” because every season and every team is different. While this Steelers team got off to a slower start than usual, they are right where they want to be heading into the playoffs. They most likely will not win the division because of two losses to the Ravens, but they are an absolute lock for the 5 seed in the wildcard. They are playing well at the perfect time and will roll into the playoffs as one of the hottest teams in football. They will no doubt win three of their remaining four games as they play the Browns (twice) and Rams, with their toughest game in San Francisco. The Steelers will completely shut down the Browns offense until a last minute field goal or touchdown.

Cleveland- 3
Pittsburgh- 24

Indianapolis at Baltimore

There is no doubting that the Ravens will win this game, but the question is by how much they will beat the Colts. The clock for the number one pick in next year’s draft started in about week 5 for the Colts. They should have the perfect answer as to what they will do with the pick. Do they draft Andrew Luck and let him learn from Manning? Do they get rid of Peyton Manning and start with the rookie? Do they trade away the pick for a gold mine of other picks? I think the best decision for the Colts would be to trade away the draft pick for multiple others. With Peyton Manning, this is a SuperBowl caliber team. Without him, obviously they are the worst in the league. By trading away that number one pick, they load their team with even more talent and make themselves automatic contenders for the SuperBowl in 2013.

Indianapolis- 10
Baltimore- 24

New England at Washington

Not only did Rob Gronkowski catch three touchdown passes last week against the Colts, but he caught three wide open passes for touchdowns. He broke the record for the most receiving touchdowns by a tight end in a single season and continues to dominate opposing defenses. But why don’t they cover him already?! Even though Brady obviously keys in on his big tight end in the red zone, opposing defenses fail to bump him at the line of scrimmage, and therefore have no chance of matching up with him in the red zone. The Patriots have a perfect combination of size and speed in their receiving core allowing them to attack teams with the short and deep passing game. However, the doubts remain with this team as long as the defense continues to play as poorly as it has. They allowed Dan Orlovsky to throw for over 300 yards! No doubts about their game in Washington as Brady and the offense rolls.

New England- 35
Washington- 20

New Orleans at Tennessee

Over their last two games at home, the New Orleans Saints have demolished two contenders for the playoffs improving their home record to 6 and 0. There is no doubting how unstoppable this team is in perfect dome conditions. However, the questions remain about their ability to win in natural weather conditions. In six away games this season, Drew Brees has thrown eight interceptions and his quarterback rating drops almost 40 points from home games. This statistic will be tested this Sunday as the Saints will play on natural grass at LP Field. Meanwhile, as Chris Johnson has rejuvenated his season, he has also given new life to the Titans season. Johnson will run all over this unimpressive Saints defense in a playoff-changing upset.

New Orleans- 24
Tennessee- 27

Kansas City at N.Y. Jets

It is truly ridiculous how week-to-week the analysis of players in the NFL can be. Two perfect examples of not only inconsistent play, but inconsistent analysis have been of Matt Ryan and Mark Sanchez. Matt Ryan played his two best games of the season in weeks 11 and 12 and experts praised him for his phenomenal play. After a poor performance in week 13 against the Texans, experts are asking what is wrong with Matt Ryan and will he return back to his potential. Then there is Mark Sanchez. Sanchez was completely ripped apart by the media for three straight weeks of poor performances. Then, after a fourth quarter comeback in week 13 against the Redskins, the media will not stop talking about how great he is in the fourth quarter. We need to stray away from making sweeping generalizations about players each week, rather than analyze their performance over an entire season. Basically, the media should wait until after the season to rip apart Sanchez for his poor play…The Jets need this game to make the playoffs and will force Tyler Palko into a multiple interception performance in a rout of the Chiefs.

Kansas City- 13
New York Jets- 23

Philadelphia at Miami

The Miami Dolphins continue to impress despite an awful start to the season. Their defense has improved each week and they may have found their quarterback in Matt Moore. Tony Sparano has to keep his job into next year. To keep this team competitive with the start they had is truly something incredible. While the Dolphins remain competitive week to week, the Eagles are simply just a bad team. Andy Reid making Juan Castillo the defensive coordinator could be the worst coaching decision he has ever made. The defense looked disinterested and uncaring in their game against the Seahawks as Marshawn Lynch ran all over them. Expect these same trends to continue as the Dolphins add to the Eagles dreadful season.

Philadelphia- 21
Miami- 24

Tampa Bay at Jacksonville

Blaine Gabbert is the worst starting quarterback in the NFL. Give me Caleb Hanie, give me Tyler Palko, and give me T.J.Yates and Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky. Gabbert has absolutely horrible throwing mechanics, gets truly frightened when a defender is anywhere near him, and makes awful decisions. This was a terrible decision to draft a quarterback out of a spread offense at Missouri without knowing his true potential. After 12 games it is obvious; there is no potential for Blaine Gabbert in this league and the Jaguars need to shut down this experiment quickly. Former head coach Jack Del Rio had the right idea sitting Gabbert. In speaking of struggling quarterbacks, the injured Josh Freeman has continued to regress. With Raheem Morris potentially on the chopping block after a dreadful performance against the Panthers, we will find out how much this team supports their coach. Blaine Gabbert proves why he is the worst quarterback in the league completing more passes to Bucs cornerback E.J. Biggers than his tight end Mercedes Lewis.

Tampa Bay-27
Jacksonville- 17

Atlanta at Carolina

After rushing for another three more touchdowns in week 13, Cam Newton has solidified himself in the record books as the quarterback with the most rushing touchdowns in a single season. With the performance he put on against the Buccaneers, Newton also solidified himself as the offensive rookie of the year becoming the clear favorite in front of Andy Dalton. His play has been truly unbelievable, crushing all expectations and giving hope to a rebuilding franchise. This week, Newton will face a former rookie of the year in Matt Ryan. Ryan is well-known for his accomplishments in his rookie season, but has not truly developed into the elite player most thought he would become. Ryan’s inconsistencies can be attributed to multiple factors including his own mechanical errors, as well as offensive line issues and wide receiver’s dropping passes. However, Ryan is still a young, developing player and will eventually become that elite-level quarterback most expect him to be. Matt Ryan needs to play well against the Panthers as the Falcons must win three of their next four games. If the Falcons falter against the Panthers, their playoff hopes could be in doubt. Michael Turner shows up in a big way this Sunday, allowing for Matt Ryan to orchestrate the play action offense in a demolition of the Panthers.

Atlanta- 35
Carolina-17

Houston at Cincinnati

No matter how this season ends for the Bengals, this was a successful season. They found their franchise quarterback Andy Dalton and have one of the top young defenses in the league. With playmakers like A.J. Green the offense can be explosive, but it can also be a run-first team with Cedric Benson. This is an all-around good football team and will now compete for years to come. Unfortunately, this year is not the future and they will not make the playoffs. The Bengals will be losers of two straight after they face the Texans this Sunday. The Texans defense has been phenomenal this season, and has been getting better with each week. Wade Phillips might not have been able to get it done in Dallas as a head coach, but he should be nominated for the most important pick-up by a football team this offseason. It doesn’t matter who plays quarterback for this football team because all he really has to do is hand the ball off to Arian Foster and Ben Tate, and watch his defense shutdown opposing quarterbacks. T.J. Yates improves to 2-0 as a starting quarterback in the league. Should we break out the comparison to Unitas?

Houston-21
Cincinnati- 13

Minnesota at Detroit

While Jim Schwartz should be celebrated for his accomplishments in Detroit over the last several seasons, he should also be ridiculed. This is the wildest, whiniest, and most uncontrollable group of players in the league. Schwartz has them playing at a high level, but at an unruly level. The perfect example of an undisciplined team was represented on Sunday Night against the Saints. As the Lions were driving into Saints territory and after they got into the redzone, Titus Young threw a punch at a Saints defender causing a personal foul penalty. That penalty pushed the Lions out of the redzone and could have cost them not only four points, but momentum as well. After starting 5 and 0, they are now 2 and 5 in their last seven games and will need help to make the playoffs. The decline in Matthew Stafford’s play is a microcosm of the Lions over the last few weeks. However, with their backs against the wall facing a struggling Vikings team, the Lions will squeak by with a much-needed win.

Minnesota- 23
Detroit- 28

Chicago at Denver

Football fans across America have fallen victim to the Tebow epidemic. He continues to amaze in the 4th quarter and now has the Broncos as a relevant playoff team. Calling him a Pro-Bowler and the MVP is ridiculous and absurd, but he has exceeded expectations even with his throwing ability. It might not be pretty, and he still is, by far, the worst throwing quarterback in the NFL, but he has been the quarterback while the Broncos have been winning. It is important to be careful not to say “He” wins games because this defense is what has been giving the Broncos opportunities to win games. Tebow takes advantage of those opportunities and has proven to be effective in the clutch. The Broncos now get to play yet another offensively challenged team this week as the Bears travel to Denver. Without Matt Forte and without a viable quarterback, the Bears will be the next victims of Tim Tebow.

Chicago- 17
Denver- 24

San Francisco at Arizona

The Arizona Cardinals have had arguably the most difficult schedule in the NFL. They are a young football team with a new quarterback and while there are no prospects of making the playoffs, they should look at this season as a positive one. While the Cardinals

are already looking to next season, the San Francisco 49ers have shocked the league by starting 11-2, already locking up the division title. With a playoff spot locked up, the 49ers will play down to their opponent as the Cardinals win in an upset. The NFC West could mirror the NFC South over the next several seasons with the division winner continuously changing.

San Francisco- 23

Arizona- 24

Oakland at Green Bay

After looking like one of the top teams in the AFC for several weeks with Carson Palmer at the helm, the Oakland Raiders flat out flopped against the Dolphins. Maybe it was the long travel to the east coast. Maybe it was that fierce passing offense led by Matt Moore. But the Oakland Raiders were just mandhandled in every facet of the game. Now they have to travel to Lambeau to take on the undefeated Green Bay Packers. Is there any doubt that Rodgers will cruise to another victory at home? Nope.

Oakland-20
Green Bay- 42

Buffalo at San Diego

Where has this Chargers offense been all season? If only the Chargers could play the Jaguars depleted secondary every game…That win for the Chargers not only snaps a six game losing streak, but also  keeps their hopes alive for the AFC West. The fact that the Chargers aren’t eliminated by now is telling of the division they are in. As the Chargers continue to hold on to playoff hopes, the Bills have no shot. A trip across the country will be even more detrimental to this already weak Bills team, allowing Philip Rivers and the Chargers to keep hopes alive.

Buffalo- 20
San Diego- 30

N.Y. Giants at Dallas

The battle of the NFC Least. What was supposed to be the best division in the NFL is now one of the worst. The New York Giants have lost four straight games to even their record and limit their chances of making the playoffs. The Dallas Cowboys recently lost in an upset to the Arizona Cardinals after Head Coach Jason Garrett called timeout, negating a game-winning field goal. With four games left, the Giants and Cowboys will square off twice in games that will ultimately decide the division winner. The key to the Giants success against the Packers last week was the defenses ability to put pressure on Aaron Rodgers and the stability Ahmad Bradshaw brought back to the offense. If the Giants expect to make a run at the playoffs, their play has to be more consistent. In what will be an interesting and exciting end to the season, the Giants will find that consistency and sneak into the playoffs.

New York Giants-33
Dallas-27

St. Louis at Seattle

Sweet Home Seattle! The Seattle Seahawks now play their third straight game at home and recently defeated the lowly Eagles on Thursday Night football. Marshawn Lynch has been absolutely unstoppable with multiple tremendous, Jim Brown-like runs. The noise at CenturyLink Field is truly incredible. It got so loud earlier in the year that there was seismic activity surrounding the building, and it was even difficult to hear the announcers and commentators last Thursday. Now the offensively challenged Rams travel to Seattle. Offensively challenged is actually being nice when discussing the Rams offense. They are scoring 11.7 points per game. Again, the Rams are scoring 11.7 points per game. Wow. Steve Spanguolo was seen Tebowing and praying that the “Greatest Show on Turf” led by Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk would trot out of the tunnel. Sorry, Steve.

Fraser's Favorites Week 13

Philadelphia at Seattle

First the San Francisco 49ers are victims of the scheduling in the NFL, and now the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles played at home against the Patriots at 4:00 EST on Sunday and will have three days to travel to Seattle to play in a Thursday Night game. Not only do they only have three days to rest and prepare for the Seahawks, but they also have to take one of those days for travel. The Seahawks are fortunate enough to play at home two weeks in a row and catch the Eagles on such a short week. Andy Reid and the Eagles organization put together what was believed to be a dream team. With a record of 4 and 7, the only dreams for Andy Reid and the Eagles will be of lying beachside on the coast of Hawaii late in January.

Philadelphia- 21
Seattle- 25

Tennessee at Buffalo

In their game last week against the New York Jets, the Bills won the time of possession, had better efficiency on third downs, won the turnover battle, and won the field position battle. How did they manage to lose this game? Stevie Johnson. Stevie Johnson single-handedly lost this game for the Bills. Three dropped passes and an incredibly stupid penalty because he was mocking the Jets in a celebration cost the Bills this game. Chan Gailey really should consider benching Johnson for the display he put on in Sundays game. The threat of benching Chris Johnson seemed to have a positive effect on his play, and it should have the same effect on Stevie Johnson’s play. In Tennessee, Chris Johnson finally looked like Chris Johnson again. He evaded tacklers behind the line of scrimmage and made tacklers miss for the first time this season. The Bills are 28th in the league in points allowed per game allowing 25 points scored against them, and will struggle to stop Chris Johnson. With Matt Hasselback and the Titans offense hitting their stride, they could put enough pressure on the Texans to win the AFC South.

Tennessee- 24
Buffalo-21

Indianapolis at New England

For the last decade, the Colts and the Patriots is a game all football fans look forward to. Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady and usually these two teams would be battling for the number one seed in the AFC. This season, the Colts are winless and will no doubt continue to be winless after this matchup with the Patriots.

Indianapolis- 10
New England- 35

N.Y. Jets at Washington

In what some are considering the worst four touchdown passing performance in NFL history, many are forgetting the Jets got a key win last week against the Bills. Mark Sanchez looked downright horrible for the first three and a half quarters, but suddenly turned his play around and led the Jets to victory with a fourth quarter drive. In his postgame press conference Rex Ryan stated that “Mark Sanchez is not part of the problem, he is one of our strengths”. Rex, if “Sanchize” is one your strengths, there is a problem. Now the Jets travel to Washington to play what is a virtual playoff game for New York. Every game the Jets play in the rest of the season is a playoff game. If they lose, they crush their hopes at an AFC wildcard. The Jets and Sanchez will squeeze out another win in a close game as their defense forces Grossman into another multiple interception performance.

New York Jets- 23
Washington-17

Carolina at Tampa Bay

The first word that comes to mind when thinking about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is sloppy. They are always playing in turnover ridden games usually played in some type of unfavorable weather that end in ridiculous plays on either side of the ball. In their most recent game against the Titans, the ball popped loose from Josh Freeman’s hands on a quarterback sneak on a 4th and 1 as the Bucs were driving late in the fourth quarter. With the Bucs fifth straight loss, Raheem Morris is the latest coach in the league to appear on the hot seat. As the Buccaneers expected to be competitive this year, the Panthers knew they were preparing for the future. With Cam Newton exceeding already lofty expectations, the Panthers future is looking even brighter. The team that wins this game will limit turnovers and be dominant in their ground attack. If LeGarette Blount can hold on to the ball, the Buccaneers will win an extremely close game that should be a great rivalry for the next decade.

Carolina- 24
Tampa Bay- 27

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

While the Bengals got a much-needed win against the Browns, their schedule is clearly affecting their play. They came out flat against Cleveland because they were coming off two hard-fought games against the Bengals and Steelers. This last stretch for Cincinnati will be challenging and it starts this week when they travel to Pittsburgh where the “Terrible Towel” will be waving furiously. Ben Roethlisberger is no doubt the toughest player in the NFL. Not only does he seem to always have some type of nagging injury and play through that injury, but he also remains a top ten quarterback despite those hindrances. Big Ben is the epitome of the Steelers with a tough, never-quit attitude. That toughness and hard-hitting approach wears down on opponents and will wear down the Bengals this weekend. The Bengals fall to 7 and 5 and their playoff hopes continue to remain in question.

Cincinnati- 20
Pittsburgh- 24

Kansas City at Chicago

The Kansas City Chiefs have to be one of the most mysterious teams this season. After losing three games to start the season, they won four in a row and looked like they could compete in their division. They have now lost four consecutive games and look absolutely horrendous on offense with Tyler Palko at quarterback. Their defense did play well against the Steelers constantly putting pressure on Big Ben. As they travel to the windy city, their defense will have to be perfect to give the team a chance to win this game. While Palko has been dreadful for the Chiefs, Caleb Hanie was not impressive in his first start for the Bears. Not only did he throw three interceptions, but those interceptions came in key situations. Hanie has to be smarter with the ball if the Bears have any chance of competing for a wildcard spot. Against the Chiefs, Matt Forte will explode for 150 rushing yards and Hanie will be asked to do very little in a crucial win for the Bears.

Kansas City- 17
Chicago- 27

Atlanta at Houston

Just when the Texans looked like they would make a serious push for the playoffs and make a run deep into the playoffs, Matt Schaub and backup quarterback Matt Leinart are knocked out for the season. With the Titans not completely out of the AFC South race, the Texans will rely on T.J. Yates. The rushing attack and the defense will have to step it up more so than it has this season. The Texans now host one of the leagues most underrated defenses and the second best defense against the run in the league. The Falcons look like a playoff team again after winning five out of their last six games. Barring a major collapse, the Falcons should make the playoffs. However, their success in the playoffs will be determined by their consistency. If Matt Ryan can stay as consistent away as he is at home, the Falcons could be dangerous. With two talented defenses in this matchup, the better offense will win this game. The Texans will struggle with Yates at quarterback, and Matt Ryan and the Falcons will improve to 8 and 4, continuing to put pressure on the New Orleans Saints.

Atlanta- 28
Houston- 20

Oakland at Miami

The Dolphins have had multiple games this season where they have lost on opponent fourth quarter drives. The team has remained competitive and is a difficult win for any team that still has to play them. The biggest question for the Dolphins for the remainder of the season will be if Matt Moore can potentially be their franchise quarterback. We have seen several teams overpay quarterbacks way too soon or draft quarterbacks way too high without fully knowing if they can lead their team. While the Dolphins look for answers at the quarterback position, Hue Jackson and the Raiders have found their answer in Carson Palmer. He gives them the superior downfield passer that they have been looking for and makes them a serious contender in the AFC. Traveling to Miami this week will be an extremely challenging game for Oakland. The Miami defense has been playing well only allowing 10 points per game over their last four games. This will be defensive battle and an upset victory for the Dolphins.

Oakland- 17
Miami- 20

Denver at Minnesota

MVP! MVP! Think about it! Before the time of Tebow, the Denver Broncos were in a lowly place, were 1 and 4, and were in last in the AFC West. As the Broncos were losing 15-0 to the Miami Dolphins, John Fox made the call to put Tebow into the game. A miraculous fourth quarter comeback and four wins later, Tim Tebow has captured the hearts and minds of football fans across the nation. There are few articles and few highlights that do not have Tebow as the lead story. Now the question remains; is Tebow a serious MVP contender? Without him who knows how miserable the Broncos still could be. With him, not only does the offensive playcalling change, but more importantly so does the attitude and confidence of this team. It would be laughable if Tebow was in the MVP conversation, but it is truly amazing what he has been able to do as a running quarterback. As the Broncos defense continues to keep these games close, Tebow will continue to perform miracles in the fourth quarter.

Denver- 17
Minnesota- 16

Baltimore at Cleveland

Looking at the sidelines of most NFL teams, you will find players and coaches wearing various hats, gloves, and merchandise from their teams. When you watch a Cleveland Browns game, you have to wonder why anyone would want to wear Browns apparel. It is ugly, has no appeal, and quite honestly the team has been terrible for the past decade. The same applies for the Cleveland Browns offense. It is ugly, it has no identity, and will be this bad until the Browns acquire a playmaker. Without any semblance of an imposing offense, the Browns will be no match for the fierce Ravens defense as Baltimore makes their case for the best team in the AFC.

Baltimore- 27
Cleveland- 13

St. Louis at San Francisco

After being swept in the season series by the Arizona Cardinals, the St. Louis Rams have officially hit rock bottom. They have won only two games, miraculously beating the Saints at home and beating the Browns in week 10. They are scoring less than 13 points a game, rushing for less than 115 yards per game, and throwing for only 190 yards per game. These are disastrous numbers for an offense that was looking to build on Sam Bradford’s sophomore season. They travel to the NFC West champion San Francisco 49ers who are coming off a difficult loss to the Ravens in the “Harbowl”. Even though the 49ers have no doubts about making the playoffs, a potential flaw was illustrated that could hurt them in the long run; their inability to consistently protect Alex Smith. Terrell Suggs and the Ravens defense was all over Smith on Thanksgiving night. They have to protect Smith each game to give him the opportunities to complete those short to intermediate passes that he has all season. Justin Smith and Aldon Smith will to do Sam Bradford what Suggs did to Smith last week and the 49ers will roll to their 10th win.

St. Louis- 12

San Francisco- 21

Green Bay at N.Y. Giants

As the saying goes, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. After looking like a top team in the NFC for much of the season, the Giants have officially fallen and fallen hard. The strength of this team is undoubtedly their defensive line and their ability to put pressure on the quarterback. That strength has been non-existent in the last three weeks which has factored in to the Giants three game losing streak. On offense, the Giants seriously miss running back Ahmad Bradshaw because it is obvious that Brandon Jacobs and Danny Ware cannot get the job done. As the Giants move further out of the playoff race with each loss, they have to be kicking themselves for losses to the Redskins and Seahawks earlier in the season. Another loss this week to the MVP Aaron Rodgers could spell an end to the Giants playoff hopes. In other news, and in what is great news for NFL history, Mike McCarthy recently stated that even after the Packers lock-up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, they will not shy away from the talks of an undefeated season. The Packers have proven they are the beat team in the league, but it should be interesting to see how they handle the pressure of a perfect season.

Green Bay-38
New York Giants- 30

Dallas at Arizona

The Arizona Cardinals are suddenly a respectable team. Not a good team, but definitely not bad and not one that other teams want to play. Patrick Peterson is a rookie that could compete with Von Miller and Aldon Smith for rookie of the year. He has electrified the league with his returning abilities and has been making spectacular defensive plays all season. The Dallas Cowboys have to be careful as they travel to Arizona this weekend. With three division match-ups in their final four games, two against the Giants still remaining, the Cowboys cannot overlook the Cardinals. If the Cowboys can contain Beanie Wells and Patrick Peterson, they should be able to stay on track and in first place in the NFC East.

Dallas- 28
Arizona- 22

Detroit at New Orleans

Oh when the Saints, come marching in, Oh when the Saints come marching in! Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints marched all over the New York Giants on Monday Night Football at the Superdome. As usual, Brees looked unstoppable at home and executed the gameplan to perfection. Fans got an inside look at a pre-game meeting between Head Coach Sean Payton, quarterback Drew Brees, and Offenive Coordinator Pete Carimichael Jr. This inside look illustrated that it takes not only superior skill to be successful, but also a vast intelligence for the game and an incredible understanding of the offense. As the Saints marched on the Giants, Ndamukong Suh marched on the Packers Evan Dietrich-Smith. Suh will now get a “Suhspension” of two games which is completely ridiculous. Suh should be suspended for the remainder of the season because he is a repeat offender. Without Suh, and with the Lions hope to make the playoffs slipping away, the Saints will dismantle the Lions.

Detroit- 28
New Orleans- 42

San Diego at Jacksonville

It seems like each week football fans get to watch one crummy night game. This week that crummy game is the Chargers at the Jaguars. The Chargers are victims of their last five games and were “Tebowed” last weekend. The Chargers defense has been respectable, but the major flaw has been the offense. Philip Rivers was well on his way to becoming an elite quarterback and has instead regressed drastically this season. In speaking of offensively challenged teams with questionable quarterback play, the Jaguars offense has been abysmal. They managed to score only 13 points last week with seven of those points coming on a first quarter fumble return for a touchdown. They have to be questioning their first round draft pick Blaine Gabbert. He looks frightened in the pocket and collapses to the ground when pressure is remotely close. The Jaguars will continue to regret such a high draft choice and the San Diego offense will finally show some signs of life this week.
