NFL Week 14 analysis
Buccaneers (8-4) @ Panthers (9-3)-Carolina won eight of last nine games (6-1-1 vs spread in last eight), one of which was 34-14 win at Tampa, when Carolina outgained Bucs just 287-270, but had +4 TO ratio, and averaged 11.1 yards per pass attempt. Tampa lost three of last four visits to this site; they're 3-1 in last four games, 4-2 on road, but are just 2-5 vs spread after a win and converted only 8 of last 32 on third down, as Simms making neither big plays or many mistakes. Panthers have 10 INT's in last five games (+8 TO ratio) and haven't allowed TD in three of last four games (one on last 41 enemy drives). Seven of last 10 series totals were 35 or less. Last four Carolina games stayed under total.

Patriots (7-5) @ Bills (4-8)- Pats won nine of last 10 series games, winning five of last six visits to this site; in first meeting this year, NE won 21-16, despite being outgained 394-273, and converting just 1-7 on third down (Bills led 3-0 at half). Last week's loss (had ball inside Miami 10, up 23-3 in third quarter, and they lost) was third straight for Buffalo squad that had high hopes this summer; they've run ball for just 68 yards a game over last four weeks, and allowed last three foes to convert 23-45 on third down, while outscoring Bills 44-5 in second half. Pats won three of last four games (wins by 7-7-13); their last four games stayed under the total. In their last seven games, Patriots scored 36 points in first half, 105 in second.

Rams (5-7) @ Vikings (7-5)-Minnesota won, covered last five games, throwing 43 less incompletions than their foes, with Johnson more accurate than injured Culpepper; they won last four home games, by 17-3-13-12 points and are 4-1 as favorite this season. Rams without starting QB, coach, RT, and their DB's are crippled by injuries; they've allowed 30 ppg in four games since their bye (1-3) and are 2-4 vs spread on road, with wins at lowly Arizona, Houston. Home side won seven of last eight series games, with Rams scoring 45.7 ppg in winning last three games, but they're 0-3 in this dome; their last win in Twin Cities was back in '78, when they were winning NFC West every year. Last five series totals were 48+.

Bears (9-3) @ Steelers (7-5)- Is right team favored here? Chicago won last eight games, allowing 31 points in last four (two TDs on last 49 opp. drives); they're 5-2 vs spread as dog this season, 8-0 SU if they score more than 10 points. Steelers lost last three games, turning ball over eight times, as foes started 10 of last 38 drives in Pitt territory. Bears won last three road games, are 4-1 vs spread out of town, but their offense is awful; last week, they were 0-10 on third down, averaged 2.5 yards per pass attempt, turned ball over twice and were 3-and-out on 7 of 13 drives, but they still covered as 7-point favorite, thanks to dominating defense. Under is 9-1 in last 10 Chicago games, 1-5 in Steeler home games.

Raiders (4-8) @ Jets (2-10)- Jets are awful, losing last seven games (1-6 vs spread) but can anyone give points with Raiders on road? Oakland tanked in second half at Chargers last week, are traveling cross country to play at cold weather site after losing four of last five games, and may be starting Tuiasosopo at QB in place of inaccurate Collins. Jets have scored one offensive TD on last 35 drives in last four games, and haven't led at half since Week 2 vs Miami. Under is 4-1 in last five Oakland road games, 3-1 in last four Jet games. Raiders have won five of last seven series games, but lost last game in OT in '03 playoffs; they're 2-4 on road, allowing 23+ points in five of the six games.

Colts (12-0) @ Jaguars (9-3)- Colts have actually been better on road this year, winning by 17-21-25-18-19-8 (@ Cincy) points. Indy goes for 13 straight here vs Jaguar club that outgained them 303-268 in 10-3 Week 2 loss; Manning was just 13-28/122 passing, as Colts scored one TD on 10 drives, with only one FG tried. Colts won seven of nine series games, with one of last five wins by more than seven points. Jax won its last five games (last three on road); they're 3-0 vs spread as dog, 4-1 SU at home; their losses are by 7,13 (20-7 vs Denver), 3 points. Indy is 58 for 98 (59.2%) on third down since Week 4. Tough task for Jags' backup QB Garrard, who has played well. Over is 5-2-1 in last eight Colt games, 5-2 in last seven Jag games.

Texans (1-11) @ Titans (3-9)-Houston had painful last-second losses last two weeks; they've lost last five games, allowing 31+ points in three of last four, but they've covered three of last four road games, losing by 6,7,14 points. Tennessee is 1-6 since their 34-20 win at Houston in Week 5, when they held Carr to 96 yards passing and were perfect in red zone scoring four TD's. Titans won five of seven series games, with Texans losing two of three at this site (by 7,21 points). Fisher's club is 1-0 as favorite in '05; their wins this season are by 15-14-11 points- they're just 5 for last 28 on third down. Texans ran ball better (124,165 yards) in last two games. Over is 5-3 in last eight Titan games, 3-1 in last four Texan tilts.

Browns (4-8) @ Bengals (9-3)-Cincy doing everything right, winning four of last five games (only loss to 12-0 Colts); they're just 2-4 as home favorite, though, winning by 29,6,7,13 points in six home games. Bengals won 27-13 at Cleveland Opening Day, as Palmer was 26-34/272 passing on much nicer day than he'll get here. Red-hot Bengal offense scored 3+ TD's in each of last five games (20 TDs on last 54 drives); nine of their last 36 drives started in enemy territory. Cleveland started rookie QB Frye for first time last week; he was 13-20/205 in 20-13 loss to Jags, their sixth loss in last eight games. Browns are 1-6 if they allow more than 14 points; eight of their last ten games stayed under total, while Bengals' last three all went over.

Redskins (6-6) @ Cardinals (4-8)- First time these former division rivals have met since '02; six of last seven series totals were 37 or less. Arizona just 1-4 at home, but they won last two road games, two of three overall, as Warner has thrown for 316.8 ypg over last five weeks. Cards are 0-3 vs spread after win this year, losing 34-13/24-20/24-17; they're 14-28 vs spread in game after their last 42 wins, and still haven't rushed for 100 yards in game this season, but have scored 17.4 ppg in second half of last five games. Redskins are 6-1 if they allow 17 or less points, 0-5 if they don't; five of their last six games stayed under the total. NFC West teams are 4-14 vs spread as non-division dogs, 3-4 at home.

Giants (8-4) @ Eagles (5-7)- Hard to endorse anything about Philly after 42-0 home loss Monday, when Westbrook became fourth Pro Bowl Eagle lost for season with injury; neither QB option is viable, and they have no third QB. Giants won first meeting three weeks ago 27-17, despite allowing McMahon-led Eagles 404 total yards and 9.6 yards per pass attempt. Philly is in freefall, losing five of last six games (they had +4 turnover ratio in only win, 19-14 over 3-9 Packers). Eagles are 1-6 this season when they get less than three takeaways; look for Johnson to blitz heavily, in hopes of forcing Manning into mistakes so that Eagle defense can score. Under is 5-1-2 in last eight Giant games, 5-3 in last eight Eagle contests.

49ers (2-10) @ Seahawks (9-3)-Seattle has division clinched, but first round bye and home field thru NFC playoffs are big fish they're trying to reel in; three weeks ago, Seattle sleepwalked thru 27-25 win at Candlestick Point, outgaining 49ers just 373-336, outrushing them 145-110. Niners lost last five games; they're 0-5 on road, losing by 39-17-35-8-11 points (1-4 as road dog, and they were +2 in turnovers in game they covered). Seattle won last five series games, winning last two at this site 20-19/34-0; they're on short work week, but Monday night win was so easy, shouldn't be much of hangover here. Four of five 49er road games went over the total. This is first turf game of year for 49ers, by the way.

Dolphins (5-7) @ Chargers (8-4)- Teams swapped backup QB's at trading deadline, so there is knowledge of each other's systems here. San Diego scored total of 43 points in losing last five series games, last of which was played in Arizona due to San Diego wild fires in '03. Bolts are on fire themselves right now, winning five games in row, covering six of last seven; they won last three home games by 8,38,24 points. Fish won two in row for first time this year, rallying from 23-3 third quarter deficit behind sub QB Rosenfels, who returns to bench here. In last five games, San Diego scored 20 TDs on last 55 possessions. Miami allowed 21+ points in each of last four games; they're 2-4 as road dog this season. Under is 5-2 in last seven Charger games, 4-2 in last six Miami tilts.

Ravens (4-8) @ Broncos (9-3)-Denver trying to fend Bengals off for critical 2nd seed in AFC and first round bye; they dominated this foe when Ravens were in Cleveland, with consecutive heart-breaking playoff wins, but since switch to Baltimore, Ravens won last four series games, last losing to Denver in '96. Broncos are 2-0 vs spread after loss this season, are 9-2 vs spread in last 11 games, going 5-1 vs spread at home, with wins by 3-20-2-8-28-27 points; three of their last four wins are by 14+ points. AFC North teams are 3-9 vs spread as non-division dog, 3-7 on road. AFC West squads are 21-9 vs spread out of division, 10-5 as home favorite. Ravens are 0-3 vs spread after win this year, losing by 35-17/10-6/42-29 scores.

Chiefs (8-4) @ Cowboys (7-5)-Pair of desperate teams here, as Dallas lost last two games to slip into tough spot, while Chiefs won last three games to stay close, but still behind, in difficult AFC race. AFC West squads are 21-9 vs spread in non-division games, 11-4 on road. KC scored 34 ppg in winning last three games (11 TDs on 31 drives); they've run ball for 164 yards per game in last four weeks, but lost only previous carpet game, 14-3 in last loss, at Buffalo. Dallas is 4-2 at home, allowing 12.8 ppg, with losses in OT vs Denver and 14-13 vs Washington, when Skins scored twice in last 5:00. Under is 7-2 in last nine Dallas games, 4-2 in last six KC tilts. Home side won last five meetings in seldom-played series.

Lions (4-8) @ Packers (3-9)- Not much to choose from here, as both sides lost last three games; Detroit won season opener 17-3 over Pack, outrushing them 102-46, with a +3 turnover margin, holding Favre to 3.5 yards per pass attempt, but Lions lost their last 14 games in Dairy State, with nine of last ten losses here by 9+ points. Pack is 1-2 as favorite this year, but they've allowed 153.2 rushing yards per game over last five weeks. Lions only had three RBs active last week, and one got hurt, so their offense is crippled, since Garcia can't throw long ball with any zip. Detroit is 1-4 on road, 2-2 as road dog. Pack scored three TDs on last 29 drives. Under is 6-2 in last eight Packer games, 5-2 in last seven Detroit games.

Saints (3-9) @ Falcons (7-5)-Atlanta lost three of last four games, needs wins to stay in playoff hunt; this is their arch-rival, and two QB's are cousins. Falcons won first meeting 34-31 in Alamo, when Falcons missed late FG, but got second chance on marginal call vs Saints, who outgained Atlanta 456-266, outrushing them 211-160. Falcons lost three of last four home games, allowing 31-33-30 points in losses. Saints haven't traveled well this year (1-5 in last six road games) but they're 3-2 in last five visits to this site, and they did win Sunday night game at Jets on last road trip. Three of last four series games were won by exactly three points. This is rivalry, and being national TV game, you'll get full effort from Saints, whose last three losses are by 3-7-7 points.

Sunday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but..........
13) College football is the only sport where the player of the year trophy is such a big deal; its even bigger than in golf or tennis, which are individual sports. Never understood it.

12) Has any great player ever been shopped around more than Manny Ramirez?

11) Luckily for the Bears, they signed Muhsin Muhammed, or else their offense would be really ba--oh wait, its bad anyway.

10) Giants were 3-point favorite at Philly before the debacle in Philly Monday night; today, the spread is up to 10 points.

9) UTEP-Toledo will be very high scoring bowl game.

8) How much will Mack Brown take Heisman Trophy voting and use it as motivation for his team? Will he use it at all, or does he even need motivational tactics for the USC game?

7) Why did the Orioles sign Ramon Hernandez? Don't they already have a catcher?

6) Last two Saturdays, Kentucky has looked like a middle of road team in MAC. Tubby Smith has taken heat in recent yrs for his recruiting. This might just be a slump, but they really don't look very strong right now.

5) With all the conference jumping that has taken place this year in college hoops, I have to really concentrate and think as to what games are league games, and what games aren't.

4) No college basketball team dribbles more than Temple.

3) The way Alabama has played so far this season in hoops, it can't make lot of Tide fans happy that the basketball coach in Tuscaloosa is paid more than the football coach.

2) Does anyone realize that the Clippers are one of the three best teams in the NBA right now?

1) Off-the-cuff prediction: Matt Leinart won't be the best QB in next spring's NFL draft.
