Baltimore at Cleveland
Flacco loves to win games that are big and meaningful. He doesn’t care for the games that don’t mean anything, and luckily for fans of the Ravens this game does mean something. Cleveland might not be a team that is on top of it’s game, but they are still a division rival, and with both Pitt and Cincy being very good this year Baltimore is going to need to win almost every game from here on out. I think Ray Rice will have a decent game, but Flacco is going to be the man in this one. Torrey Smith will probably drop a ball or two, but he’s also going to get at least one deep touchdown in this one. Hillis is listed on injury report again, but he’ll get some time. I don’t think he or Colt or anyone else on this offense is going to do much though, the Ravens defense is going to be fired up for this one.
Baltimore wins another division game 28-13
Dallas at Arizona
DeMarco Murray is one of my favorite players to talk about. Out of nowhere this guy has stormed onto the field and is in the conversation for rookie of the year along with Newton, Green, and Dalton. Murray has done incredible things when he gets the ball, rushing for big yards consistently, and catching defenses off guard. Most notably for Murray though is what he does for the team. Romo was a player who I always questioned and never really thought was anything great, but with DeMarco stealing a lot of the spotlight Romo has really come into his own. With more time in the pocket to find guys like Dez and Witten, Romo has turned into a player who is actually worth watching. Arizona has a very underrated Beanie Wells rushing the ball, but with a quarterback situation that hasn’t really been even good this year it’s been hard for Arizona to win games. Kolb might be playing this weekend, but don’t think that means anything great. The Cowboys are going to go into Arizona and continue to give Murray the ball and watch the young man run.
Cowboys win again 31-17
Green Bay at New York Giants
Again, it’s all going to be about Aaron Rodgers. The man is having an incredible season – arguably one of the best ever. He’s leading his team on a mission that few have had the chance of capturing, and I think he’s going to do it again this week. The weapons at his disposal are some that other teams dream of having. A lot of it is Aaron being great, but a lot is also the players around him being great. With one of the deepest receiving cores in football Rodgers can throw the ball to any end of the field and know that someone is going to be there to catch it. The Giants have a great pass rush, and they have a decent secondary despite dealing with a lot of injuries. Bradshaw is going to be there to run the ball again, and Eli has been known to lead some great drives with receivers like Cruz streaking down the field. This game comes down to how well Rodgers can pick apart this defense though, and I don’t think it should be too difficult.
Aaron Rodgers throws to victory again 35-24
St. Louis at San Francisco
As much as I love what Steven Jackson brings to the table, he doesn’t have a team around him. He could possibly be one of the best running backs in the league, I think he is, but he doesn’t have a team with him that can help him come close to winning any games. This team really needs to put some good players on both sides of the ball in the next year. Jackson deserves a stronger cast around him. San Fran is going to be angry after their loss last week, and an angry 49ers team is going to be scary. I thought they were scary before last week, with some of the toughest guys on either side of the ball and its going to be dangerous to see what they do to a consistently underachieving Rams team.
Frank Gore and Patrick Willis get back on the right foot with a 27-10 victory
