There is only one month left for this season and playoffs are being seriously fought over. Several teams are making a serious push to prove that they are for real. With the Seahawks' win over New Orleans on Monday night, Seattle was the first team to earn a playoff spot. Below will be some of the games and what the teams in those games have at stake.
ATLANTA FALCONS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS. Green Bay still is in the playoff hunt and desperately needs a win, however with Aaron Rodgers still mending from a broken collarbone, it's unlikely they will be able to make the playoffs, but should have no problem throttling the Falcons at Lambeau Field.
MIAMI DOLPHINS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS. Miami has a better chance of making the post-season than does Pittsburgh, but both are fighting against other teams' success.
DETROIT LIONS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES. Detroit is leading their division and holds their fate in their own hands. Philadelphia needs a little help but must stay consistent before the last game of the season when they meet Dallas with a chance of winning their division.
OAKLAND RAIDERS @ NEW YORK JETS. Both of these teams have a very slim chance of making the playoffs, they need a lot of help.
CLEVELAND BROWNS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS. All New England needs to do is finish strong. They currently are the number 2 seed in the AFC and are certain to host at least one playoff game.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS. Purple battle. If the season were to end today, Baltimore would be in, but as a final and 6th seed. They must fight to defend their Super Bowl title.
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS. Losing to the Broncos twice in the last three weeks has really hurt the Chiefs, despite having a fantastic season. They are still in the playoffs, though, if they can turn around from recent losses. Washington is officially out of the playoffs.
BUFFALO BILLS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS. Buffalo has a tiny little chance. Tampa has been eliminated.
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS. This should be a really good game, between two potential playoff teams. Indy has shown some sloppiness down the stretch, and is hoping to show that last year was not an illusion.
TENNESSEE TITANS @ DENVER BRONCOS. Tennessee is in with some help, Denver has been strong all season and should not disappoint their fans this Sunday.
NEW YORK GIANTS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS. Neither of these teams has much hope of making the post-season, but the Chargers' chances are slightly higher.
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS. Wow!! Another barn-burner. Wonder if the Niners can hold off the mighty 'Hawks, or if the blowout Monday will act as a trap for Seattle.
ST. LOUIS RAMS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS. Both have a slight chance for post-season play.
CAROLINA PANTHERS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS. This game will have huge playoff implications as these two teams meet twice in the final four weeks. Could mean hosting at least one game in the big dance come January.
DALLAS COWBOYS @ CHICAGO BEARS. Tony Romo is known for having a fabulous season only to choke in the final month, missing out on the playoffs. In his time as a Cowboys' starter, Romo has only won one playoff game (which is the only playoff game Dallas has won since they won three Super Bowls in the early- and mid-90's. Chicago looked like their coaching was strong and ready to take the Bears to new glory, only to fall down mid-season after quarterback Jay Cutler has been sidelined with an injury.
