Comments:
This season, the Eagles are 1-6 when they don't score at least 30 points. Which doesn't say a lot for their defense.
How good is the Packers defense? They had that ugly second half breakdown against the Falcons a couple weeks ago, but they also held the Buccaneers (yeah, I know, they're 2-13) to season lows on points scored, first downs, and yards from scrimmage. They also sacked Josh McCown 7 times, most all year.
Remember how I said in the game picks that the Colts were bad on the road against good teams? Yeah, that. The Colts had 1 rushing yard on Sunday. One.
That was a really ugly game for Peyton Manning Monday night. He hasn't had a 4 interception outing since 2010.
The Saints have lost 5 home games for the first time since 2007, Payton and Brees's second season with the team.
With the Bills' elimination from the playoffs this week, their streak of longest active playoff appearance drought will continue for at least another year. The Music City Miracle game remains the Bills' last playoff appearance.
