The NFL Roundup Week 15 - The Most Fascinating Games to Watch on Sunday

You can feel it after Thursday Night Football. There's a certain electricity in the air as we roll toward the end of the 2015 Regular Season. Everyone knows what's at stake right now. Jobs are on the line, and so are the playoffs and the intensity we saw between the Rams and the Buccaneers is only the beginning.

Tomorrow is going to bring us some extra special games as every team in the league brings their best to the field and who knows, we may see an important upset or two along the way as everyone tries their hardest to end their season on a positive note. Because of this every game should be plenty of fun, but only a handful have our attention and here are the ones we will be keeping an eye on come tomorrow.

DENVER BRONCOS AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS

John's Take
Now we know something important about the Denver Broncos...their offense has some major issues. The offensive line is sub par, the running game is spotty at best and those are two things they are going to need desperately heading into Heinz Field to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. Doesn't matter how damn good the Defense is, if they're on the field for most of the game they will get tired and they will make mistakes and that's not something they can afford against Big Ben and his red hot offense right now. So really, this game is fascinating for one sheer reason, which Broncos team is going to show up? If it's the one that beat the Patriots, then Pittsburgh beware, but if it's the one that popped up last week against Oakland, the Broncos are going to be in for one hell of a fight, and it's one that they might lose.

HOUSTON TEXANS AT INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

John's Take
This is a surprisingly important game, despite the fact that both of these teams are an abysmal 6-7, for one particular reason..they are both tied as the #1 Team in the AFC South. The playoffs are truly on the line here since the winner of this division gets a shot at the Lombardi and that's one of the many reasons why this game has my attention. After all, both teams will be starting their backup quarterbacks on Sunday and both teams are well...about as inconsistent as they come. Houston is either stellar or awful on defense and the Colts offense is either lights out or an utter mess. Either way, they both know what's at stake here and that should make for one incredible game come Sunday, or a slow and sloppy mess, but there has to be a Division winner any way you slice and this game will go a long way in determining the AFC South Champion.

CAROLINA PANTHERS AT NEW YORK GIANTS

John's Take
No one can deny the amazing things the Carolina Panthers have done on the field this season. They've won when their backs are against the wall, they've also completely and utterly destroyed some of their opponents on their way to 13-0. But, there's a certain level of entitlement we're seeing from this team now, that sense of invincibility and that's not a good thing when you face the New York Giants. They love to be the underdog against those kinds of teams and they love to bring down undefeated teams, and if you need more proof of that, look no further than Super Bowl XLII where they made sure the Patriots went 18-1 and we cannot forget the game in the Meadowlands in 1998 where they made the 13-0 Denver Broncos...13-1. The Giants are also coming off of a big win against Miami so I'm expecting them to give the Panthers a run for their money and possibly that first L of the season.

CINCINNATI BENGALS AT SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

John's Take
Sometimes there are games that you look at on paper and think that there is no way one particular team should lose this one and this is one of those games. The Niners are a team falling to pieces and the Bengals are coasting to the playoffs if you base this game solely on their records. But Cincinnati is missing their franchise quarterback since Andy Dalton is out with a thumb injury, leaving untested backup QB A.J. McCarron at the helm of it all and that changes everything. Now it's anyone's game because we don't know what we will get in A.J. and that's scary for Bengals fans as the team continues to fight for a bye week in the playoffs. I know it's a team game and everyone plays their part but the QB is a critical position for Cincinnati and if the new kid falters here...the playoffs are about to get a whole lot more interesting.
