What to look for -- Week 14

The playoff picture should become at least a little bit clearer at the end of Sunday's play, with a number of teams having the opportunity to secure postseason spots this afternoon.

The Giants, Titans and Cardinals all can clinch their respective divisions with victories today. New York and Tennessee also can sew up first-round byes with some help -- the Giants need to beat Philadelphia and have Dallas lose at Pittsburgh, while the Titans get theirs with a win over battered Cleveland coupled with a Jets' loss at San Francisco.

Pittsburgh can also clinch a playoff berth if it defeats Dallas and both Miami and New England lose today.

For those who haven't heard, the Cowboys won't have factor back Marion Barber available for their marquee matchup with the Steelers. With the forecast calling for single-digit wind chills and gusts of up to 20 mph at Heinz Field, that's a significant blow to a Dallas club that's going up against the NFL's top defense.

Take 2 plays and the Ravens have under 100 yards rushing coupled with the under 150 passing. Tell me the Boy's were terrible? 22 sacks in the last 3 games---Pittsburg, Giants & Ravens! Jason Garrett needs to turn the playcalling over to someone else. Cowboy's will still make the Playoffs---Thanks San Diego!
