The Chippers Top 5
Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins
Ryan Tannehill should be the starter in Miami for a long time. Ryan Fitzpatrick’s time as the starter in Buffalo should be over soon. Miami fans may be less than thrilled with their team this year, but they get the division win. Go with the home team here.
Prediction: Miami 24 Buffalo 14
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Look for the Steelers to pressure Andy Dalton and throw him off his game early and that’s important because Pittsburgh can’t cover A.J. Green. Bengals have won 5 of the last 6 but don’t get it done in the Steel City.
Prediction: Pittsburgh 28 Cincinnati 24
St. Louis Rams vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs were whooped by the Saints last week. The Bucs get back on track by running the football and controlling the clock and getting the ball to Vincent Jackson off play-action.
Prediction: Tampa Bay 21 St Louis 20
Cleveland Browns vs. Denver Broncos
With two more wins, the Broncos will secure a first-round bye in the playoffs and ensure that the Patriots (or another team) have to come to Denver. Handling the Browns at home shouldn’t be a problem for Peyton Manning and Von Miller. Time to pad my record…
Prediction: Denver 34 Cleveland 13
Minnesota Vikings vs. Houston Texans
The Texans will use their running game to keep Adrian Peterson off the field and use Andre Johnson to score points. Peterson will be held to fewer than 200 yards for the first time in seemingly forever.
Prediction: Houston 33 Minnesota 17

Hole # 15 Recap:
Browns 21 Redskins 17 Loss – Looks like the Skins got themselves another young QB in the wings in Cousins…good problem to have.
Prediction: Broncos 31 Ravens 24 Win – This game wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. Denver is on a roll in all 3 aspects of the game and Baltimore is in trouble. Flacco should just keep his mouth shut as he isn’t a top level QB at all.
Prediction: Chargers 34 Panthers 21 Loss – It’s clear that the Chargers need an overhaul and that will start at the top of the organization. Look for them to mail it in and look at young players the rest of the way.
Prediction: Raiders 1 Chiefs 0 Win – At least I got the shutout correct. What an ugly game…it’s cool to see the old AFL colors going at it though.
Prediction: 49ers 24 Patriots 23 Win – If you went to bed at half-time, you missed a pretty entertaining game between these potential SB contenders. NE just ran out of juice at the end.
Weekly Total: 3 – 2. Total for the year: 45 – 30.
Chipper’s Top will be up tomorrow nite.

The Chipper’s Top 5
Washington Redskins (7-6) vs. Cleveland Browns (5-8)
A hobbled RGIII against a tough Browns defense puts the advantage firmly in the Browns’ corner. So does the fact that Josh Gordon can’t be stopped by the overrated DeAngelo Hall. Yes, the Browns have won three in a row and look to make it 4….
Prediction: Browns 21 Redskins 17
Denver Broncos (10-3) vs. Baltimore Ravens (9-4)
Baltimore’s ailing defense will need to contain Peyton Manning, and Joe Flacco will just be trying to outscore him. The Broncos not only have something to prove, but Peyton Manning and the Broncos have had extra time to prepare since the Broncos played last Thursday.
Prediction: Broncos 31 Ravens 24
Carolina Panthers (4-9) vs. San Diego Chargers (5-8)
The Chargers play well when the games are virtually meaningless. That’s what will continue at home against the up & down Panthers. The Carolina team we saw on Sunday is not the real Panthers. What you saw against the Steelers from SD was the annual late-season surge.
Prediction: Chargers 34 Panthers 21
Kansas City Chiefs (2-11) vs. Oakland Raiders (3-10)
May be fun to watch just for nostalgia reasons…but really, who cares? Sorry Row and David.
Prediction: Raiders 1 Chiefs 0
San Francisco 49ers (9-3-1) vs. New England Patriots (10-3)
The San Francisco defense is unlike anything Brady has seen this year, and I’m not so sure the New England front five can stop the Smith Brothers off the edge. The 49ers get the win on the road in New England. San Fran D-lineman Aldon Smith will inch closer to the single-season sack record. Oooooohhhh I hate the Patriots……
Prediction: 49ers 24 Patriots 23

The Bulletin Box
Evening PigSkinners –
Well that hole was playing like a 274 yard up – hill par 3 into the wind!! There were a couple of decent scores and but the best was 5 of you with a par! Needless to say, there weren’t any 6-Pack Winners this week either. On to Hole # 15 – an interesting par 4 that looks like it could be just as difficult as the last hole was. You guys are pros so I’m sure there’ll be some decent numbers put up. Reminder to those playing that you can update your time zone by logging in and on the dashboard, click “edit” on your profile. Then click the dropdown box and choose the TZ you’re in…Wallah – you don’t need to worry about what part of the world you’re in cause the games will show the start times relevant to where you live. THURSDAY GAME !!! Don’t forget to pick this as it can mean the difference in winning and not – I see that the 3 remaining Survivor Entrants barely squeaked by with the pick of Seattle!!! Nice pick by the way.
Good Luck to you this week and stay out of the hazards!

Week # 14 Recap:
Prediction: Rams 24 Bills 23 Win – Buffalo went 3-12 on 3rd down and the Rams scored the go-ahead TD and 2 pt conversion with 48 seconds left to get the win on the road.
Prediction: Vikings 21 Bears 17 Win – A big day for Brandon Marshall didn’t get it done as the Vikings knocked Veal Cutlet out of the game in the win.
Prediction: Ravens 33 Redskins 31 Loss – The Ravens have some issues and the Redskins do too with the injury to RGIII. The Redskins QB could be out a week or two with the knee injury.
Prediction: Jaguars 12 Jets 6 Loss – The Jets run the ball 42 times in the victory. Sanchez has a quiet day and keeps his job for another week.
Prediction: Panthers 30 Falcons 28 Win – Cam Newton go crazy running and passing and hands the Falcons a bad loss.
Total for the week: 3 – 2. Total for the Year: 42 – 28
Chipper’s Top 5 on the board tomorrow night…stay tuned.
