As we head down the stretch to the playoffs there’s so much on the line, and really every game matters.
Indianapolis has become a serious dark horse team, and I promise that pun was not intended.
Week 12 is a major litmus test for the Colts against the Buccaneers, who have been fairly inconsistent in recent weeks, but remain one of the best teams in the NFL.
Both Minnesota and San Francisco are fighting for Wild Card sports, which makes their Week 12 matchup supremely interesting.
The 49ers are a really well coaches team without all the talent you’d like to see from a deep playoff run team.
Of the two it’s a little easier to see a path to the playoffs for the Vikings, but that’s all moot without a win over the 49ers.
This is a divisional game, against one of the best teams in the conference, and Cleveland is coming off a narrow win over the Lions.
New England has been surging more than any other team in the NFL over the last six weeks, and now the Pats’ “rebuilding year” is starting to look like a serious threat for a Super Bowl.
This is such a scary team to face down the stretch, and their schedule is built to walk into the playoffs, with their most difficult games behind them.
