Best Two Weeks Of NFL Season

These next two weeks coming up to me are the best two weeks of the NFL season when you have double headers both Saturday and Sunday.  The next two weeks all games are the only games going on.  The NFL would like to expand it's schedule in order to pull in more money.  My answer is extend the season but instead of adding games to each team's schedule eliminate so many 1pm games and make as many as possible games national or at least 1/2 of the country.

Give each team two or three weeks off during the season and extend the season to say 20 weeks but by reducing the number of games per Sunday each game will have a bigger market of people watching so advertising monies would increase but each team still only plays 16 games.

Regardless of the future of TV games there are four this weekend and it is possible that the Super Bowl winner could come from one of the winners of this weekend's game.  If the Super Bowl Champion is playing this weekend who will advance to next week.  First game Saturday features the hottest team in the NFL.

Kansas City @ Houston:  Winners of ten straight KC is by far the hottest team as the playoff start.  The biggest trend of the NFL is the team with the best record seldom wins it all.  If KC has any say they will advance over Houston 30-17.  This game kicks off the four games this weekend at 4:20 Saturday afternoon.  It can be seen on ABC/ESPN.

The nightcap Saturday night sends Pittsburgh to Cincinnati at 8 PM  to be seen on CBS.  Both teams are beat up.  Can Big Ben Pass Pittsburgh over Cincy if  Running back DeAngelo Williams can't go.   Can Cincinnati score enough if  Andy Dalton still out with thumb.  Steelers advance 17-10

Sunday starts at 1:05 on NBC with the NFC battle of Seattle @  Minnesota.  Who is the hottest of these two teams both are playing their best the last six weeks.  Seems to me that the Seahawks defense is playing the best they have played all year but they have not been that good of a road team.Can The Vikings  dominate the run because I doubt they can win this one passing the ball.  Hawks 27-17.

So far I have picked three visiting teams to win but the final game of he weekend I picking the Skins. Who would have thunk it just six weeks ago they would not finish last in their division.  Green Bay at Washington 4:40 pm Fox TV.  The last ten weeks the Green Bay offense has just not be there. If Washington could play Super Bowl at Fec Ex they would win it all. Skins 27 Packers 24
