I used the Patriots performance against the Ravens in my column last week as an analogy, for my own mediocre week 12 predicts when I went 8-6. The Pats bounced back strong last week, as did my predictions going 11-3 almost assuredly clinching a winning season for my column. Now onto Week Fifteen in the NFL. 

WEEK FOURTEEN RECORD: 11-3

SEASON RECORD: 125-77

WEEK FIFTEEN PICKS:

SATURDAY NIGHT GAME

Cincinnati @ San Francisco: San Francisco 17 Cincinnati 14: I get stubborn sometimes this one of those times. Kind of like how I was with Atlanta around the middle of the season. San Francisco QB Shaun Hill gets a win in his first NFL start.

SUNDAY GAMES

Seattle @ Carolina: Seattle 28 Carolina 10: Seattle tuning up for the playoffs as they cliched Division last week. Panthers just playing out the string.

Buffalo @ Cleveland: Cleveland 27 Buffalo 24: Do I really have to predict this game? These two teams are the two toughest teams to get a handle on this year, when you think they will win they lose, and you know the rest. Only because it is in Cleveland am I giving the nod to the Browns.

Tennessee @ Kansas City: Kansas City 17 Tennessee 10: Both of these teams were humiliated last week. The Chiefs got knocked for a loop by Denver, while the Titans blew a 2 TD lead in the fourth quarter over San Diego. I believe a blowout is easier to recover from than a heartbreaker, hence my pick. 

Baltimore @ Miami: Baltimore 17 Miami 13: Not yet Dolphins, soon but not yet.

N.Y. Jets @ New England: New England 52 N.Y. Jets 9: You thought Bill ran it up against Washington, “you ain’t seen nothing yet“

Arizona @ New Orleans: New Orleans 21 Arizona 17: Ken Whisenhunt has Arizona starting to actually look like a NFL team this year. How bizarre is it that the Saints could end up in the playoffs after their horrific start?

Jacksonville @ Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh 24 Jacksonville 14: Last week was a measuring stick for Pittsburgh, and they saw they do not measure up right now with New England. Then again, I don’t know if the 1985 Bears could have contained the Patriots last week. Pittsburgh is still the second or third best team in the AFC. J-Ville is the next level down.

Green Bay @ ST. Louis: Green Bay 28 ST. Louis 13: Marc Bulger may be back as QB for Rams but it does not matter. Green Bay is in the zone right now.

Atlanta @ Tampa Bay: Tampa Bay 21 Atlanta 9: Bucs let me down last week, but Houston is playing tough right now. They beat Denver Thursday night. Atlanta is a different story.

Indianapolis @ Oakland: Indianapolis 38 Oakland 10: This will be a contest in name only.

Dallas @ Philadelphia: Dallas 41 Philadelphia 17: Wade Phillips, I am almost ready to say I was wrong about you.

Detroit @ San Diego: San Diego 21 Detroit 9: Lions gave the Cowboys all they could handle last week. I say there is nothing left in the tank for this game.

Washington @ N.Y. Giants: NY Giants 24 Washington 13: Giants can clinch a wild card spot with a win, I admitted a few weeks ago I was wrong about Tom Coughlin.

MONDAY NIGHT GAME

Chicago @ Minnesota: Minnesota 21 Chicago 14: Here is another game that must have looked so promising to ESPN when the schedule came out, that probably has them contemplating re-running their special from last week on the ESPN Promos instead of the game.

    BEARS DEFENSE Would make Brady hurry, pressure throws, and panic with the blitzes and pass rush they had in 85!
