15. Kansas City at Pittsburgh (Week 16):
The Chiefs (7-3) are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now having won five consecutive games. They’re tied for first of the very competitive AFC West and their match-up with Pittsburgh will go a long way in deciding the fate of their season. The Steelers (7-4) are a half a game out of first place in the most stacked division in the NFL — the AFC North. Ben Roethlisberger is putting together one of the best seasons of his career. Will it continue against the Chiefs?
14. Cincinnati at Denver (Week 16):
The first place Bengals (6-3-1) travel to Denver for their second to last game of the season. The Broncos (7-3) are also first in their division (tied) and this game will definitely help determine AFC playoff seeding. Peyton Manning‘s MVP chances have slipped a bit, but he’s still put together a phenomenal season. A win over the scrappy Bengals would definitely help the Broncos’ chances of edging out the Chiefs in the AFC West.
13. Atlanta at New Orleans (Week 16):
You may be asking why a match-up between two 4-6 teams would make the list of the NFL’s biggest remaining games. Well, it’s because the outcome of this game may determine which team wins the NFC South. These two teams are both somehow tied for first place. Which teams’ quarterback will step up, Drew Brees or Matt Ryan? Although, it’s not likely that the team that wins this division will advance very far into the playoffs.
