| It looks like Matt Cassel will play today against the St. Louis Rams, but will he be running for his life on the road at the Edward Jones Dome? |
There are at least 8 games on the schedule today that have direct impacts on whether teams can clinch playoff spots or stay alive and need some help and somehow sneak in.
Lets see if we can handicap some of these contests against the spread.
(11-2) Atlanta Falcons vs (6-7) Seattle Seahawks (+7)
Seattle is fighting for their playoff lives in the dreadful NFC West. But the Falcons, clearly the better team in this game, have to travel across the entire country to the rainy Pacific Northwest, which is never an easy trip.
I think Matt Ryan and Roddy White and company pull out a win on the road, but it will be a close game, so I'm taking Seattle and the points. Atlanta 24 Seattle 20
Sam Bradford and company have played 3 consecutive road games. I think the rookie comes up huge in this monster game between division leaders. I'm taking the Rams to cover. St. Louis 24 Kansas City 17
The defending Super Bowl Champs have looked like the defending Champs of late. Meanwhile Ray Lewis and the Baltimore defense have looked like what they are too, which is old.
I look for an exciting game that will turn into a shootout. New Orleans wins on the road. New Orleans 33 Baltimore 30
