NFL Week 15

The Christmas rush and a final project for school have hit this week, so it's an abbreviated (and nearly tardy) NFL preview. Look for more frequent postings this week.

GAMES OF THE WEEK:
Jaguars (9-4) at Steelers (9-4): Two tough, physical teams. Jacksonville will be without DT Marcus Stroud and MLB Mike Peterson, so look for Pittsburgh to run wild at home.

Bills (7-6) at Browns (7-6): Raise your hand if you saw this coming at the start of the season. This amounts to an elimination game for a wild-card spot in the AFC. The Browns' offense is impressive, but they'll have to figure out a way to contain Buffalo's rookie-led running attach.


GAMES OF THE WEAK:

Too many to mention. At one point this week, there were 10 games of points spreads of seven or more points. The league doesn't have parity, it has a lot of terrible teams this season.


UPSET OF THE WEEK:
Titans (7-6) at Chiefs (4-9): Kansas City can't keep losing at home, can it? Tennessee's injuries scare me, and I think the Chiefs are going to pound out a conservative victory and deal the Titans' playoff hopes a blow.

Season record on upset picks: 7-7
