While the Jets are within reach of clinching in 5 of the L/7 including LW’s 32-17 win over the 49ers, a game in which DET scored the final 17 pts a playoff spot with a win here, we expect Ryan and company to play spoiler here as they are an (SF shutout in 2H).

They now play host to a banged-up Chargers team that fell just short in their Flacco, RB Forsett and WR Smith, the Bengals were able to survive 28-24 (CIN led 14-0 at HT). With CIN upset attempt LW in OAK (23-20 OT loss) despite a 343-281 yd edge. These two squads met less than posting a very solid 11-2-1 ATS mark this ssn and still able to improve their playoff positioning no matter a month ago in SD with DEN coming away with a 17-3 victory behind a splendid performance from their what their outcome is against the Broncos, we’ll lean with the home squad to get it done in this one. defense (#1 NFL) that allowed just 272 yds for the gm. With the Broncos’ playoff picture still cloudy as of ATLANTA by 7 over New Orleans - The Saints head to ATL fresh off of their relatively easy win over presstime with the Chiefs now just a half game back prior to their matchup with the Bengals, this could the Jags in the Superdome (led 24-0 in 2Q) behind a 412 yd, 3 TD performance from QB Brees.

With HOU now at home and riding a solid defense that has surrendered less than 300 yds in 6 Minnesota at GREEN BAY - Flexed to SNF - After their solid 49-17 home victory on SNF over the of their past 8 contests, we expect them to get back into the playoffs for the 1st time in 3 years. Giants that saw them earn a playoff spot (forced 3 Manning int’s), the Vikings head to Lambeau with Pittsburgh by 17 over CLEVELAND - The Steelers suffered a costly defeat a week ago in BAL as a revenge on their mind following a 30-13 loss to the Packers back in Wk 11 (MIN 342-320 yd edge).
