Balt (11-5) @ Mia (11-5)
Sun 1pm
Balt -3.5

- Ravens D dominated the Wildcat formation in Balt-Mia earlier meeting this year
- game is on Pennington's shoulders; Balt D is too tough to run or pass against
- the playmakers in this game are on the Balt D side with Lewis and best safety in football Reed
- Flacco will not need to win this game; they will grind it out and kick FG relying on their D to take care of the game
- Fins are happy just to go from 1-15 to 11-5 and div winner
- take Ravens to dominate this game

Phil (9-6-1) @ Minn (10-6)
Sun 430pm
Phil -3

- interesting matchup as Philly will not be able to run the ball against #1 rush D
- Vikes #25 pass O will not be able to pass against #3 pass D of Eagles
- AP is tough to stop as his runs are 50/50 on left/right side of the line
- Eagles blitz to stop the run but if they choose the wrong side and AP gets to the 2nd layer he can burn them for huge runs
- expect Vikes to come out and let the Eagles blitz and throw some screens over them to get AP into space
- McNabb will throw about 70% of the time in this game and Westbrook will be used more in passing game than running in between those big Vikes tackles
- interesting matchup to see which offense can move the ball
- take Vikes at home
