| Â # | Â SK | Â JF | Â Comments |
| Â 1 |  |
|
 SK: The Texans could clinch the AFC
South this weekend. Â JF: Had some luck on Turkey Day to get past Lions. |
| Â 2 |  |
| Â SK:
Another win, but still waiting to see them do it in a more convincing
manner. Â JF: Not playing their best, but continue to win. 10-1 stands for something. |
| Â 3 |  | |
 SK: Was Harbaugh really considering
going back to Alex Smith this weekend?
 JF: Went to New Orleans and took care of business. QB controversy in full effect. |
| Â 4 |  |
 | Â SK:
Denver may not lose another game in the regular season.
 JF: Slid by Chargers to hold onto top spot in AFC. |
| Â 5 |  | | Â SK:
Averaging 43.8 points in their last five games...IMPRESSIVE.
 JF: Two dominating performances in a row has their arrow pointing up. |
| Â 6 | |  |
 SK: Still not convinced Ray Rice
picked up the first down on that 4th-and-29 play.
 JF: Apparently the Giants are better than the Packers. |
| Â 7 |  |
| Â SK:
Sunday just shows how valuable Jay Cutler really is to the Bears.
 JF: Unimpressive win over Chiefs, but running away division title. |
| Â 8 | |  | Â SK:
Thoroughly manhandled the Pack, but which Giants team will show up
each week? Â JF: Clearly I rated the Packers too high last week. They fell hard against the Giants. |
| Â 9 | | |
 SK: Will not go far in the postseason
without a running game and a brutal defense.
 JF: Bears shouldn't drop a spot after a win, but the Giants' sudden rise is cruel. |
| Â 10 |  |
 | Â SK: The Colts magical season continued
with an impressive win over the Bills.
 JF: Just barely missed a chance at knocking off the Falcons and making a statement. |
| Â 11 |  | | Â SK:
Don't sleep on the Law Firm. Cincy is right back in the thick of
things. Â JF: The Bengals may just be peaking at the right time of the year. |
| Â 12 |  | | Â SK:
Their run defense has collapsed as of
late. Â JF: 'ChuckStrong' is more than a saying for the Colts...it's a lifestyle in Indy. |
| Â 13 | | | Â SK:
Tough stretch coming up for a young Buccaneers team with playoff
aspirations. Â JF: Continue to struggle on the road. Trend may continue this weekend in Chicago. |
| Â 14 |  |  | Â SK:
Tough home loss to San Francisco, but still in the playoff hunt.
 JF: Looked very mediocre in blowout loss to the Bears. |
| Â 15 | |  | Â SK:
Vikings really need Percy Harvin back if they want to sniff the
playoffs. Â JF: Made Cowboys look silly on Thanksgiving. Probably too little, too late though. |
| Â 16 |  | | Â SK:
A loss to the Browns? Still think they'll get it together when Big
Ben returns. Â JF: Just didn't have it vs. 49ers. Looked over matched throughout the game. |
| Â 17 | | | Â SK:
A win on Monday would have the Redskins one game behind the Giants in
the NFC East. Â JF: Worst loss of the year...besides when they lost their QB a few weeks ago. |
| Â 18 |  |  | Â SK:
Face a "Must-win" game against the Eagles this weekend.
 JF: Played well enough to beat Houston, but as usual the Lions came up short. |
| Â 19 |  |
|
 SK: Ryan Tannehill has already broken
Dan Marino's record for yards thrown as a rookie.
 JF: Ended a rough patch on the schedule with a win. Looking to make a late run. |
| Â 20 | |  | Â SK:
Too many head-cases on the Lions, including the man in charge.Â
 JF: Just crushed the Cardinals. Rookie CB Jenkins is double the pleasure, double the fun. |
| Â 21 |  |
| Â SK:
Norv Turner will make a good OC somewhere in 2013.
 JF: Have the talent to be a playoff team, but once again that won't happen this year. |
| Â 22 |  |  |
 SK: I think CJ2K may be back in
Tennessee. Â JF: Browns handled themselves against a battered Steelers squad. |
| Â 23 | |  | Â SK:
BOLD PREDICTION: Browns will be in the wild-card hunt next season.
 JF: This team seems like it has an inability to be consistent. |
| Â 24 | |  | Â SK:
Could see a major shakeup in Buffalo this offseason.
 JF: Finally getting it together in Carolina. |
| Â 25 | |  | Â SK:
Don't look now, but Cam Newton has really turned it around as of
late. Â JF: After a 4-0 start, the Cardinals have lost seven in a row. OUCH! |
| Â 26 | | | Â SK:
Janoris Jenkins is a stud. Should be in the running for Defensive
Rookie of the Year. Â JF: Hung tough with the Ravens for four quarters. |
| Â 27 | |  | Â SK:
Matt Barkley? Aaron Murray? Landry Jones? Kurt Warner? Anybody?
 JF: What good can you say following a crushing defeat to Patriots? |
| Â 28 |  | | Â SK:
Chad Henne's resurgence may cost Blaine Gabbert his job in
Jacksonville. Â JF: The Jags are a different team under Chad Henne...they may win FOUR games! |
| Â 29 | | | Â SK:
You know the Jets are bad when even Fireman Ed has quit on the team.
 JF: Could have had their fifth win against Jacksonville, but instead fall further down. |
| Â 30 |  | | Â SK:
The Phillies have won more recently than the Eagles.
 JF: Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Wait, don't you have to be good before you can fall? |
| Â 31 |  | | Â SK:
On the bright side it looks like Oakland will be getting Run DMC back
this weekend. Â JF: Oakland can't win on the road (1-5) and can't really win at home either (2-3). |
| Â 32 |  | | Â SK:
At least they have one win this season... Â JF: Three more field foals to add to the season point total |
