Welcome to Week 15. This week I like these match ups:

49ers @ Seahawks
Eagles @ Giants
Chiefs @ Chargers
Bengals @ Colts
Cowboys @ Falcons

These games should give us positive results from Frank Gore, Shaun Alexander, Brian Westbrook, Tiki Barber, Larry Johnson, Ladanian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Chad Johnson, Carson Palmer, Tony Romo, Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, and Rudi Johnson. 

Weekly Recap

I would just like to point out that the Colts run defense is the worst in the NFL since 1959. They give up 5.4 yards per carry, and did you see the Jaguars chew them up? Unless Peyton Manning is passing for 400 yards a game, the Colts will have trouble winning in the playoffs.

 Game of the Week

1. Eagles @ Giants - The loser of this game may be facing the possibility of not reaching the playoffs this year. The Giants came back and won in overtime down in Philadelphia earlier this year, and I think they have too much talent to lose this game.
