Since week one it has been non-stop entertainment around the National Football League; this week looks poised to carry on tradition.
The Queen City's own Bills (5-6) are on a four-game losing streak – including their last three on the road. Luckily, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and company are at home on Sunday to play the Titans (6-5) at 1 p.m.
However, the visiting team features a star in Chris Johnson who likes to have his way with defenses like Buffalo's. Plus, the Titans have the most efficient red zone offense in the league – the Bills' red zone defense is second worst. This game is crucial for Buffalo's playoff hopes and could decide if they play in the postseason or not.
Following that, Green Bay (11-0) will take on the Giants (6-5) in a matchup scheduled for a 4:15 p.m. kickoff. The Packers are undefeated, and do not appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
The Giants have spoiled numerous undefeated parties in the past, but with the weak run game they possess, quarterback Eli Manning will be tested. The Packers lead the NFL in interceptions by a large margin, with 22 on the year. As for Manning's counterpart, Aaron Rodgers – he looks just about ready to take advantage of the G-men like he did last season.
There will be a battle for the AFC North Sunday as well. The Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) will take on the upstart Cincinnati Bengals (7-4), in a rematch of a Nov. 13 showdown, which the Steelers won 24-17.
And the winners are…
· Bills vs. Titans
24-20
· Packers vs. Giants
35-17
· Bengals vs. Steelers
27-20
