How's the dumpster fire that is the NFC East race going to burn out? Glad you asked. I foretell the final 4 weeks: http://www.si.com/nfl/2015/12/08/nfc-east-race-giants-redskins-eagles-cowboys

Buffalo at Philadelphia — LeSean McCoy’s revenge will have to wait for another year. Once DeSean Jackson helped the Eagles out on Monday night with his late-game fumble against Dallas, I knew the other spurned ex-Philly star was headed for a bitter Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. If Philly can beat Tom Brady, Tyrod Taylor won’t be insurmountable. The Eagles control their own fate if they win out in the final four weeks. Eagles 27–20.

 

Faulty logic Don. The Bills won't gift the Beagles with Pick Six and blocked punt return TDs

Vegas Vic: Despite their recent history, enough should go right for the Birds.

 

EAGLES (+1) over Bills

"Uncle!!!" . . . Remember when you were arm wrestling back in the day and cried that to admit defeat? Kinda like tapping out in a UFC mixed martial arts match. Not ashamed to admit that Kelly's Heroes have given me agita all season long, and predicting the outcome of their games is about as easy as finding a ticket for Bruce Springsteen's upcoming tour. They come off two of the ugliest games in NFL history (losing by a combined total of 90-31), then go to New England and drop 35 points on a Patriots team that had been undefeated eight days earlier. Anyone who saw that coming deserves a spot on "America's Got Talent" next season. And maybe even get your own show out here on the Vegas Strip. The last two efforts at home were awful (losing to Miami, 20-19, and Tampa Bay, 45-17) and lastly, the Chipster just wants to shut the big mouth of LeSean McCoy for 60 minutes. Not super confident, but we lean to the Green.

 

 

FWIW:

@ColinCowherd's #blazingfive for wk 14: #Raiders +7.5 #Titans +7.5 #Bills -1.5 #Patriots -3 #Seahawks -6

If I recall correctly, Prisco had us winning only 5 games this year and had us going over 20 points 3 times. Against Jags and Giants he had us reaching 20 and against Jets last weekend of season he has us reaching 21. this weekend, he thinks we will lose 23-18. Clearly, he had little faith in our offense.

He's not using any logic with the Bills game this week other than the Bills are up and down with this week being a down week because of Rex. You want real analysis, please look elsewhere because he's pulling things out of you know where.

Agreed- I think it is amusing that he gets paid for that junk.

NFL Week 14 predictions: LeSean McCoy will get revenge; Patriots will snap two-game skid

NFL Nation reporters predict a good week for LeSean McCoy and a bounceback for Tom Brady on Sunday night in Houston.

 

Buffalo Bills: Bills players say they want to win this game for LeSean McCoy, who might have a few reasons of his own for wanting to beat Chip Kelly. But as Thurman Thomas told McCoy this week, the Bills will need to keep their composure. Even though the Eagles just handed the Patriots a loss, they’re still a vulnerable team with an average quarterback and a defense that has allowed more than 25 points per game. If the Bills don’t hurt themselves, they should win.

 

Bills 28, Eagles 20. -- Mike Rodak

 

Philadelphia Eagles: Those expecting LeSean McCoy to carry the ball 30 times for 175 yards are forgetting that Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman will dictate that. McCoy has topped 20 carries just once all season. Buffalo will need Tyrod Taylor to throw deep to beat the Eagles. He will.

 

Bills 26, Eagles 21. -- Phil Sheridan

Week 14 forecast: AFC North instant classic?

Will Ben Roethlisberger's Steelers press further for a playoff spot? Or will Andy Dalton's Bengals go wild against a suspect Pittsburgh pass D? Elliot Harrison picks every game on the Week 14 slate.

Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills make it happen this week in Philly. Both teams are desperate to stay in the playoff race. ... Buffalo is chilling out with the " in the hunt" teams, one game back of the Jets (though the Bills have the head-to-head edge). Chip Kelly's outfit finds itself in a three-way tie in the worst division in the history of pro football after delivering the upset in Foxborough. If the Eagles' defense and special teams performs the way they did in that game, putting multiple touchdowns on the board, the Bills won't have the aerial attack to stay in the game. And the only complaint will be from DeMarco Murray about his 10 carries (though we think that story is mostly bunk). On that note, expect Ryan Mathews' touch total to be right in line with Murray's, as Mathews returns to the lineup against a Buffalo front that has underperformed. The real RB star here will be LeSean McCoy, who is better than anyone Kelly employed this season and should surpass the 100-yard mark. He simply needs to avoid pressing, while Taylor capitalizes off play action. #BUFvsPHI

Remember last year when these two teams met at Paul Brown Stadium? Ben Roethlisberger connected with a still-not-quite-famous Martavis Bryant for 94 yards, and the Steelers were on their way. Well, we're seeing it that way again. The Bengals' defense looked stout last week, holding the vaunted Browns' aerial circus under Austin Davis to three points. Roethlisberger is a different bear altogether. He still moves well enough out of the pocket to make plays on what will be an overmatched secondary. Expect Andy Dalton to get his on the NFL's 29th-ranked pass defense. #gameoftheweek #PITvsCIN
