Kicking off week 15 last night, the Colts are now 14-0 following a come-from-behind 35 to 31 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. What else is new. It was their seventh win after trailing in the fourth quarter this season. Looking ahead to other key games this weekend:
This is probably the easiest game for me to break down this week. Let's start with the Cowboys.
Cowboys-We all know about their recent December struggles, 0-2 so far this season. They have a head coach in Wade Phillips who is average at best. They have an owner in Jerry Jones who can't help himself to having a say in the running of the team. They have a quarterback in Tony Romo who, to his credit has played well so far this month, but can't do it all by himself. Now, they're going on the road to play the NFL's #1 offense this season in an environment with a party atmosphere and raucous crowds. Good luck. They'll need it.
Saints-Does anybody really think the Saints will lose this game? I certainly don't. They've played well at home. They seem to be a team of destiny. They are clearly the best team in the league. I see them winning rather easily and they will match the Colts at 14-0 by Monday.
Prediction: Saints 45, Cowboys 20
Cincinnati Bengals (9-4) Vs. San Diego Chargers (10-3)
Bengals-It is going to be awfully tough for Cincinnati to compete at a high level this weekend. Following the death of Chris Henry, they are going to be playing with heavy hearts. I guess they could use it to their advantage and win one for Henry, but I don't see it happening. Also consider that the game will be played in San Diego. What a tough week it has been and will be for the Bengals.
Chargers-After getting to a rough start, the Chargers have gotten hot, winning eight straight after starting 2-3. This is nothing new for them as they have started slow the past couple years before going on long winning streaks to end the season. I expect their current streak to reach nine this weekend.
Prediction: Chargers 35, Bengals 10
