The 15 Biggest Games Remaining In The 2014 NFL Season

12. Miami at New England (Week 15):
The Dolphins (6-4) have played better than some have expected this year and a win over the Patriots would be absolutely huge for them. New England (8-2) doesn’t have the AFC East locked up, but they’re getting close thanks to six consecutive victories. The Pats’ offense seems fairly unbeatable at the moment thanks to the emergence of undrafted rookie running back Jonas Gray and superhuman heroics of tight end Rob Gronkowski. Although, the Dolphins’ defense has been great this year (2nd in passing, 8th in rushing). It will be a great match-up to watch.
11. Cleveland at Baltimore (Week 17):
This division rivalry game is going to be a fun one. The NFL made a great decision having only division games the last week of the season; this game will only reinforce that. The Ravens and Browns are both 6-4 heading into Week 12 tied for third in the AFC North. But both are very much alive in the playoff race. Cleveland has been good this year, but Baltimore is currently 4-1 at home this season (and will be at home in Week 17).
10. San Francisco at Seattle (Week 15):
This burgeoning rivalry has a chance to rise to new heights in Week 15 as these two teams battle for a wildcard spot. San Francisco has been great on the road this year (4-2), but will have to face the “12th Man” in Seattle when these two teams collide. The winner will likely have the inside track to a playoff spot as both are 6-4 at the moment. Although, the second place team from the NFC West isn’t guaranteed a playoff spot — the NFC East and NFC North may both send multiple teams.
