NFL Week 14 Picks: Predicting the Worst Games of the Week

For every great game on the schedule each week, there's also the games that most aren't interested in. Unless we're talking straight fantasy football, the following games are the worst of Week 14.

However, they still matter and a winner will be picked.

St. Louis at Seattle

Last season this was one of the most exciting games simply because the NFC West title came down the Rams-Seahawks game in Seattle.

Unfortunately for 2011 though, it's almost the exact opposite in terms of magnitude.

Nonetheless, it will be a good game as the Rams virtually have nothing to lose and Seattle is still technically alive for the playoffs. But quite honestly, we can only rule out the Colts, Rams, Vikings and Jaguars from the playoffs.

That being said, the Rams still lack a passing game and Seattle's run defense will shut down anything St. Louis tries to call in the trenches. Add in sack-master Chris Clemons while the secondary doubles WR Brandon Lloyd, and St. Louis isn't moving the ball.

As for when Seattle has the rock, expect RB Marshawn Lynch all day against the Rams rush defense that ranks dead last in the league.

Tampa Bay at Jacksonville

The Buccaneers come into Jacksonville on a six-game skid, and the Jags just got belted at home by the Chargers.

The difference, however, is Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew continues to slice defenses and maneuver his way into productive numbers every game. The Bucs have arguably the NFL's worst defense, so MJD won't be stopped.

As for Tampa's offense, the Jaguars still has a solid defense and the Buccaneers have literally no idea how to win on the road. Sure, they beat the Vikings in Minnesota, but so have a lot of other teams.

If you want to watch a player continue to play hard despite the implications and records, watch the game for Jones-Drew. He is the Jaguars, and is one of the better dynamic RBs in the NFL.

Philadelphia at Miami

At this point in the season, most have stopped caring about how individually talented the Eagles are. Plus, you can make the argument that more attention has gone to Miami as they've won four of five after starting 0-7.

In this game, the Dolphins need to continue their solid rushing offense to open up Brandon Marshall and Anthony Fasano in the passing game. Philly still has a good pass rush and pass defense, but getting a ground game working is where they're most vulnerable.

Defensively, expect the Dolphins to double-up on DeSean Jackson and stack the box to slow down LeSean McCoy. Elsewhere they will have single coverage on Brent Celek, Jason Avant, and Riley Cooper to keep the establishes playmakers from producing.

Philadelphia needs to win the field position battle to have a chance, but with Miami's balance on both sides of the ball, the kicking/punting game will be irrelevant.
