For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. This is the idea that a teams success in a given game has alot to do with how much they need the game, what they did the previous week.
One Example: teams that lose often come back with a big effort and win the following week.
Never put to much stock in this theory. However, I believe it probably does carry some weight.
I bring it up because it could be something working in our favor the next few weeks. If we take care of our own business, we may be helping ourselves more than you might think.
Week 14
K.C. at DAL Both teams obviously need the game. However, Dallas is coming off two straight losses and know thier season's on the line. K.C. is coming off a hard faught home division win, could be susceptible to a let down and should not be filled with the same intensity as Dallas.
Advantage Dal.
NYG at PHI NYG see K.C. above. They simply can't replicate the intensity of last week. PHI was just humiliated at home on Monday Nite. Reid will probably have the toughest week of practice this year and the team in general will not want to let that happen again. Not saying they should or will win being so shorthanded. But I do like them to be competitive.
Advantage PHI
WEEK 15
K.C. at NYG If we take out K.C. they are now in desparation mode and should give NYG all they can handle. If NYG wins in PHI, I give the advantage to K.C.
Advantage K.C.
DAL at WAS Washington has an easy game they should have won in previous week pushing thier win streak to two. DAL will be seeking revenge for monday nite.
Advantage DAL
WEEK 16
NYG at WAS Once again if Dallas takes care of business WAS should be entering this game off a home loss with thier playoff hopes dangling by a thread. NYG should also be in desparation mode if they did lose to K.C.
Advantage WAS slightly
DAL at CAR Hard to say for certain. But if things play out as I think they may. Carolina will have just clinched the NFC South. However, they will still have alot to play for with a potential biweek on the line. Dallas should have two straight wins and may know this is the one game they can drop.
Advantage CAR
