Week 15 is here and for those of you who hate Thursday Night Football, this is it. Tonight is the Season Finale of Thursday Night Football as the Bengals look to continue their playoff push on the Road in Philadelphia who looks to spoil the Bengals' playoff chances. Nick Foles led the Eagles to a last second victory over the Buccaneers last week, and now has a chance to knock off the Bengals as Andy Reid looks to save his job while Foles is trying to show he can be a Franchise Quarterback.

There are six teams who can either clinch a playoff spot, division or home field advantage at the end of Week 15. Last week, the results of the 1PM games eliminated all clinching scenarios but this week we should see some teams clinching.

Key Games (Playoffs):

Giants @ Falcons: Atlanta can clinch Home Field and a First Round Bye with a win and other teams losing. The Giants can't clinch anything but a loss could hurt them in winning the NFC East with Dallas and Washington breathing down their neck. Atlanta can not afford another loss if they want Home Field and a Bye.

Packers @ Bears: Boy how the mighty have fallen. Earlier in the season, everyone couldn't help but compare the Bears defense to great defenses of the past. Now the Packers have a shot to wrap up the division with a season sweep of the Bears on Sunday. If the Packers win, they clinch the NFC North and drop the Bears from a Bye to a Wild Card. If the Bears win they will only tie the H2H and won't be able to clinch the North until later.

Colts @ Texans: Quite simply put, Texans can clinch the AFC South with a win over the Colts while a Patriots and Denver loss gives with a win over Indy gives them a first round bye. The Colts meanwhile can keep the division race alive by upsetting the Texans on Sunday and can virtually guarantee themselves a playoff spot with a win and other teams losing.

Steelers @ Cowboys: A win by the Ravens would lock up the AFC North regardless what happens with Cincy and Pittsburgh. For the Cowboys a win would mean staying in the hunt for the NFC East and a Wild card spot.

49ers @ Patriots: The 49ers can wrap up the NFC West one week before the big showdown with the Seahawks in Week 16 with a win and Seahawks loss to the Bill. 49ers can clinch a playoff berth this week, and hope the Bills beat the Seahawks to take less pressure off next week's game.

Battle for the # 1 Pick in the 2013 Draft:

Jaguars vs Dolphins: Jaguars and Chiefs have two wins a piece, but a win by the Jaguars would get them to three wins tying Oakland and Philly who also have three wins.

Chiefs vs Raiders: If the Chiefs are able to beat the Raiders, it would drop the Raiders to 3-11 and improve the Chiefs to 3-11 potentially giving KC the tiebreaker over Oakland and if the Jaguars go to 3-11, it would really shake up the # 1 Pick Battle with three weeks left.

The Ravens can clinch the AFC North with a win against the Broncos? That will make Jim Caldwell's debut as OC all the more exciting. Defensively, I don't know if I'm more concerned with their passing game or Knowshon Moreno.

eagles tonight and cowgirls on sunday, colts at texans for the fun of it and 9ers at pats to keep everybody guessing, the pack always beats the bear, fish and black

[Ravens<3]

I think Foles is trying to make a game of it.

Nice defensive strip!

[TreTheRaven]

The defensive line of the Eagles is beasting tonight.

Dalton has never impressed me. He's like Stafford, without his #1 receiver he's a nothing.

Both fall into the same category as Daunte Culpepper, when you think about it...

Why couldn't we just draft Burfict in the 7th?

[Fred Sanford]

We could both use Ricky Brown, who was the initiator of most of Omar Brown's turnovers in the preseason by tipping and stripping the ball, and later stashed on IR, and Burfict right now.

Vontaze, unlike many "problem players" seems to have grown up very fast and is a tackling machine out there for the Bengals. Either one would probably be better than most or any linebacker we can put out there right now.

[TreTheRaven]

Is the Eagles offense this bad even with Vick?

[ratedr]

Well this game got out of hand fast.

[bauer77]

The Eagles are laughable. hahaha. 4 turnovers in the span of a few minutes i believe?

You do know the Ravens clinch the North with a win no matter what Cincy or Pittsburgh does right? So it's no big deal that Cincy is winning tonight.

of course i know that! but the 3 words in bold above says it all! they clinch....with a win! that is why i said in my post that you quoted for the Ravens to handle their "own" business by beating the broncos.
