There are several big games this week, and hopefully, they will be good games to watch. The first one that PossessionPoints.com wants to highlight is a battle for the AFC North. The 10-3 Steelers are taking on the 9-4 Ravens. While neither of these teams is likely to miss the playoffs, the winner of this game would be in prime position to win the Division and perhaps earn a first-round bye.
The next game on the highlight list is the game between the top two teams in the NFC East. The 11-2 Giants, who have already locked up the Division, will travel to Dallas to take on the 8-5 Cowboys. Obviously, the Cowboys need this game more than the Giants. The Giants are all but certain to have a first-round bye while the Cowboys are not even guaranteed a playoff spot yet. To make matters more dire for the Cowboys, the 7-5-1 are very close on their heels at only a half-game behind. Another team wanting that last wildcard spot are the 8-5 Falcons.
This brings us to our third big game which features the Falcons who are hosting their Division rivals, the 9-4 Bucs. The Bucs are fresh off a Monday night loss to the Carolina Panthers which puts them one game behind the Panthers for the Division but still one game ahead of everyone else in the Conference for a wildcard spot. The Bucs do not want to lose this cushion.
The final big game for this week features two teams battling to keep their somewhat slim playoff chances alive. The 7-6 Bears are hosting the 7-6 Saints. The loser of this game can begin thinking about their draft strategy and can forget about their playoff strategy. The winner of this game still needs a great deal of help to make the playoffs, but their hopes will most likely still be alive after this week is over.
It is becoming crunch time and the NFL excitement is growing. We hope you all enjoy this week’s games!
