Cup O' Joe - Week 14 Predictions

It's do-or-die for several teams, including one in our Game of The Week. Philly, New Orleans, San Diego, Washington, Oakland (and Portland), Dallas, Cleveland and Indianapolis are up against the wall this week, needing wins to stay alive (and in relief) for another week. With that many teams needing wins, this should be an incredible week of close games and great action.
Game of the Week:

Boston (8-4) @ Philadelphia (6-6): The Shamrocks have stormed back from the dead (2-6) to be in a position, with a win and a Chicago and Washington loss, to be in the sixth spot in the CFC playoffs. But, to do that, they'll have to overcome hated nemesis Boston, who trounced them in New England in Week 3. That sent the 'Rocks down their spiral towards the bottom. But Boston's banged up and hurting, and if they were ripe for a loss, this is it. The 'Rocks have been sharp, and are ready for the upset. That said...I just don't see it happening. Brian Barrett will carve this defense up, and that time of possession, along with the fiesty Minutemen defense, will give Boston the game.

Prediction: Boston 23, PHILADELPHIA 20 (7-4, GoTW predictions)
