The Rams and Saints suddenly look vulnerable, while the Bears and Cowboys look playoff-ready. DEFENSE IS THE NEW OFFENSE. Ryan Wilson, John Breech and Sean Wagner-McGough join me to decide whether Dallas or Chicago will go deeper in the playoffs (Sean says Bears because coaching matters) as we break down Week 14.
People will remember the Miami Miracle, but John Breech says the REAL miracle is that the Dolphins were even in a position to win. John says the Pats had a lot of mental errors, even by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and he gave them one of his worst grades ... but not as bad as the one he gave another team that lost on the final play.
It's easy to make fun of Jerry Jones on social media: Just watch him do some silly thing and fire up the joke machine. Well, turns out THE JOKE'S ON US. We all piled on when he gave up a first-rounder for Amari Cooper, but now I'd like to apologize. I've also got notes about the Packers' playoff path, Gronk playing safety and much more.

Speaking of the Cowboys, they're officially the hottest team in the NFL after reeling off five-straight wins ... but they're 3-point 'dogs in Indy. John Breech points out that in the last four games that Dallas has been an 'dog, they've won every game outright. John broke down all the early odds, and you'll be surprised by who's the safest bet in the league.
Jason La Canfora has seen enough. He says the MVP race is now over because Patrick Mahomes is the best player in the NFL (though you may be surprised by who he says is Mahomes' only serious competition). JLC also has insider notes on the debacle in D.C., the Browns' coach, the Panthers' problems and more.
When the Steelers literally slipped up in Oakland, their playoff chances also fell. Pittsburgh's currently the No. 4 seed, but its next two games are PATS AND SAINTS. Lose both those and the Steelers' playoff odds will be at 32 percent. I broke down the whole picture, and I think one team currently in 11th place has a real puncher's chance.
Here we all thought Derrick Henry rushing for four TDs would be the most mind-melting thing in Week 14 ... and then all sorts of craziness happened. Your Fantasy playoffs are probably in full swing so Dave Richard breaks down what it all means, from the outlook for Cam Newton to the best waiver-wire pickups.
This should be a fun one. The Seahawks and Vikings are both in the playoffs as it currently stands, but tonight's game could have HUGE implications. Jared Dubin dove deep into the stats to get you ready for the MNF game in Seattle, and you'll definitely want to see which team he picked to win.
