Buffalo Bills @ Philadelphia Eagles 1:00 p.m. E.T on CBS
If you have already heard the news from nearly every internet sports source, yes Bills running back is excited to return to Lincoln Field Financial and play his former team. Though the season records of these teams aren't the most impressive, they are determined to win today and increase their chances of clinching a playoff's spot. Philadelphia defeated the New England Patriots in Foxboro in Week 13 while the Bills defeated a striving Houston Texans team on their home field at Ralph Wilson Stadium. I like the Bills today in the road. Their running game and pass rush should become quite a hassle for the Eagles in the latter part of the game. I don't believe the Eagles have the defense for the dynamics of the Bills offense especially for WR Sammy Watkins. This will definitely be a very close game though.

New England Patriots @ Houston Texans 8:30 p.m. E.T on NBC
This match-up may come to be Houston's opportunity to finally seize the AFC South. I believe they will get it done as well. The Patriots have been struggling and it is because the surreal belief that they are unstoppable has finally subsided amongst NFL defenses. Of course they have loss nearly all their passing weapons but their terrible rushing attack has made them one dimensional on the offensive side of the ball. One positive for New England is that they'll get TE Rob Gronkowski back from his Week 12 injury at Sports Authority against the Broncos. The Texans snapped a four game winning streak against Buffalo last week. Texans QB Brian Hoyer has a QB rating of 94.4 and has thrown 18 TD's and just 6 interceptions this season. I like his chances of leading the Texans against the Patriots defense this week. If Houston can hold the New England Offense under 23 points they should come out victorious in what will be a nail biter.
