Fourteen weeks have passing us by in this 2008 NFL season and now the fifteenth one is staring right at us. This week Tampa Bay faces another NFC South showdown against Atlanta. Miami fights for the playoffs facing San Francisco. San Diego tries to hold on to whatever they can against Kansas City. Detroit will try not to lose again facing Indianapolis. The two best defenses in the NFL collide when Pittsburgh takes on Baltimore. The AFC West title is there for the taking if Denver can contain the dangerous run game Carolina contains. Dallas needs the win against New York if they want to stay in the playoff run. Yes sports fans… another week sure not to dissapoint.

Last week the Bronco Talk team went as follows:

 Kyle  Ian  Jon  East
 11-5  10-6  9-7  12-4

Picks and analysis after the jump.

From the Ian Henson’s Mouth

This week we’re changing things up. Therefore you all will be privledged to read all the week 15 analysis from your respected Bronco Talk author Ian Henson.

 

New Orleans at Chicago
As it stands this week the Bears have a 2% chance of making the 6th seed in the NFC Playoffs and an 80% chance of not making the playoffs at all. The Saints have a 3% chance of making the 6th seed and a 96% chance of not making the playoffs at all. I love me an under dog and I love the fact that Carolina’s over looking Denver. Carolina loses, New Orleans wins and things heat up in the NFC South.

 

Tampa Bay at Atlanta
This is a must-win game for both teams, I see Tampa stepping up here though, no way they lose two games in a row. The Falcons fairy tale season takes a tail dive.

 

Washington at Cincinnati
Bengals are just dream killers at this point, but I don’t see the Redskins secondary not stepping up to contain the Bengals and the Redskins keep their playoff hopes alive.

 

Detroit at Indianapolis
How fun would it be to watch the Lions win their first game against the Colts? I don’t know, I think that they looked pretty good for the most part against the Titans (ha!) I wouldn’t wish the pain of a Detroit Lions fan on my greatest enemy, those guys are truly fans. Colts win though, unfortunately.

 

San Diego at Kansas City
Here’s an upset, the Chargers aren’t going to be able to do it twice against the Chiefs. This time the Chiefs win a game that they’re supposed to and make that season ending game for San Diego a little more interesting.

 

Green Bay at Jacksonville
Internal turmoil will not stop the Jaguars from taking out all of that defensive rage on the drowning Packers.

 

Seattle at St. Louis
St. Louis might get a win this week, why not?

 

San Francisco at Miami
Though it would be awesome if the Dolphins turned out to be the best team in the AFC East, you can only capture lightning in a bottle once. Against one of the lack luster California teams Miami can pull this one out.

 

Buffalo at NY Jets
The Jets fall from grace has been long and hard, they start to pick up the pieces this week.

 

Tennessee at Houston
Titans have nothing to win for and the Texans are surging.

 

Minnesota at Arizona
Arizona’s defense has become one of the more entertaining things to watch this season.

 

Denver at Carolina
Of course, Carolina’s coming off the big win, looking forward to the primetime game against the Giants and… Wait, what’s that? SMASH!

 

Pittsburgh at Baltimore
BaltiWAR is ready to tee off on these guys, this team can really only make the playoffs as a wild card and here they make a statement.

 

New England at Oakland
Tom Cable will make a dumb decision, Al Davis will call down defensive formations that haven’t worked since 1979 and the New England Patriots will triumph again.

 

NY Giants at Dallas
The Giants will slap the Cowboys mommas in church and repent about it later. No, seriously the Giants are going to stomp a mud hole here, it’s going to get ugly.

 

Cleveland at Philadelphia
Knowing what’s at stake the Eagles will take advantage of a Cowboys loss and make a step in the right direction towards the playoffs.

    10-6 last week? East 12-4- man, I’m slipping :) I guess the race got too intense for Jon. Should be a good week for football.

  • T-Money

    You guys should pick against the spread. It makes things a lot more interesting.

  • http://broncotalk.net Ian Henson

    That would make it more interesting, I guess since we’re a fan site we could probably get away with it too.

    I think Smith just held school today on how to get open and catch the ball . Basically it did not seem Denver was really pumped . They will be for the Buffalo game but just enough to win . This will all change when the play offs begins . Broncos are doing this whole thing like a screen pass . Let everybody go for the sack and throw to the open receiver in the open . Everyone knows that Denver does not have a defense and cannot run . When the play offs start a majority of the Bronco players will be off injury and the back ups will be well experienced . Maybe even Hillis will be ready to contribute . The DiVinci Code has now been broken . Seriously the Broncos do have a better chance when the starters get off the injury list.

    good stuff man… but the skins had to sadly lose against the bangles though, which is a good possibility that they lost their playoff chances, and the broncos had a rather unfortunate loss too
