PrintAnother Sunday, another Sunday without the Patriots. While it's tough to not have the Patriots play on everybody's favorite day of the week, there are some games to keep your eye on today. Lets do the run down:
Cleveland at Miami
This is certainly a game to watch. With the Dolphins at 6-5, they are hanging on to their playoff hopes by a thread. They're still a solid team, and with Chad Henne back, they could be dangerous down the stretch, especially with a week 17 game against the Patriots. The Browns have the ability to do the Patriots a big favor and essentially knock the Dolphins out of playoff contention today. Root For: Browns | Greg's Pick: Dolphins
Oakland at San Diego
The San Diego Chargers are on a four game winning streak, and once again, have overcome a slow start. A win will add to the Chargers' momentum, which could be a dangerous thing. However, deep down, I think every Patriots fan wants a top ten pick next year. Root For: Chargers | Greg's Pick: Chargers
Two more games to watch after the jump!
Carolina at Seattle
The Patriots own the Panthers' second round draft pick, so this is certainly a game to watch. The Panthers haven't shown much of anything in recent weeks, although Seattle has struggled as of late and is looking to get back to the top of the NFC West. Right now, the Patriots' will have the 33rd draft pick, and I think they want things to stay that way. Root For: Seahawks | Greg's Pick: Seahawks
Pittsburgh at Baltimore
While everyone has made a big deal about the Patriots/Jets game Monday night, there's a game nearly as big this Sunday night. The Steelers and Ravens are both tied for 1st in the NFC North at 8-3. While the Patriots own the head-to-head on both of these teams and likely won't be affected by the outcome of the game, this game will surely cause a shakeup in the playoff pecking order in the AFC. The winner will be on the fast track to the 2nd seed and a first round bye in the playoffs, while the loser be sitting at a likely wild card birth. Root For: Pick Your Poison | Greg's Pick: Steelers

I had this discussion with fellow Patriots fans
regarding the Chargers game tonight. We decided we wanted the Raiders to win, which they did. Our reasoning was totally based on the playoffs. For the first time in a while we looked past that draft pick. The reason was simple.
The Chargers always provide very stiff competition for the Patriots in the playoffs, and Brady struggles against them in the playoffs. The Chargers loss puts them far enough behind the Chiefs that we can hope the Chiefs hold on. With the Chiefs making it (hopefully) the Chargers would have to fight the Ravens, Steelers, Patriots, Jets for the wild-card. The likelihood of that? Not likely. Same went for the Colts.
As of right now the Chiefs and Jaguars are in the playoffs. Brady DOMINATES the Jaguars to no end. In the alst 2 games against the Jaguars (1 in the playoffs) he has completed 49-54 passes and has 6 touchdowns with 0 interceptions. It is insane.
Strictly playoffs, I wanted the Chargers to lose. The Raiders are helped the Patriots today, even if it doesn’t look like they did

Yay!
I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
These players, a lot of other people didn't believe in them, but they believe in themselves. And that is all that matters."- Bill Belichick
I'm also a Raider Fan dammit!!! RAIDER NATION!!!!
