Denver at Philadelphia
The return of Brian Dawkins. This could be an entertaining game. These teams appear evenly matched on paper, but have played differently recently. Denver has been middling, at best, since their 6-0 start, while the Eagles have won five straight. The protection is similar, while Philadelphia creates more pressure. Also, the Eagles possess a slight edge at moving the football, and scoring touchdowns in the red zone. The Broncos have a slight edge at yielding yards, and preventing red zone touchdowns. Both teams have committed the same number of turnovers. However, the Eagles are vastly superior at forcing teams to give the ball away. Final score 35-24 Philadelphia.
Dallas at Washington
Talk about two teams with differentiating plans to finish the season. Dallas seems invigorated following their rousing victory over New Orleans this past Saturday, while Washington seems to have packed it in for the season, save Jason Campbell. (I'll have post on him later.) Washington has edges in yards allowed, and scoring andpreventing red zone touchdowns. Dallas protects significantly better, creates more pressure, and takes care of the football. Final score 24-17 Dallas.
Minnesota at Chicago
Does everyone have the whole Brett Favre-Brad Childress tiff out of their system? Good. Chicago protects better, while Minnesota generates greater pressure. The Vikings move the ball more effectively, yield fewer yards, are more proficient scoring in the red zone, prevent more red zone touchdowns, and possess a superior turnover differential. They should win this one to secure the NFC second seed, and the bye that's tagged to it. Final score 34-24 Minnesota.
