Dolphins at Bills (Sunday 1pm)
Suddenly, the Dolphins have playoff life after last week’s upset over the Patriots. Win out over the Bills and the Jets and they’re into the 2nd season. It doesn’t hurt this week that Thad Lewis is in for EJ Manuel even though Lewis beat the Dolphins in Miami earlier this season.
Winner: Dolphins
Saints at Panthers (Sunday 1pm)
The NFC South Title is on the line here in a rematch of two weeks ago. Don’t count on the Panthers being as bad this Sunday as they did then. Saints could be dropping to a possible 5th or 6th seed witih a loss here.
Winner: Panthers
Vikings at Bengals (Sunday 1pm)
No cupcake for the Bengals, who suddenly find themselves with the Ravens breathing down their neck in the AFC North.

Can the Jets finish .500 to save Rex Ryan’s job?

Too bad for St.Louis that last week’s win over the Saints is the exception rather than the rule in 2013.
Winner: Rams
Cowboys at Redskins (Sunday 1pm)
An absolute and utter mess. That applies to either team. It’s just a matter of who’s going to give it up last.
Winner: Cowboys
Giants at Lions (Sunday 4pm)
The Giants are looking towards 2014 on their own. As for the Lions, Justin Tucker’s 61-yard FG may have them looking towards 2014 as well.

Cardinals at Seahawks (Sunday 4pm)
This could get ugly in Seattle. The Cards are good, but the matchup is scary bad for them this week.

Two teams seemingly going in opposite directions. Grab your lunchpail, it’s always a battle between these two teams. Expect nothing less this time.
