The NFL wraps up its regular season on Sunday with 16 intra-division match-ups. The postseason berths are still up for grabs in both the NFC and AFC. Here's what you need to know about Sunday's best games.
New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins
Is this Rex Ryan's last game with Gang Green? His team was a disappointment this year but his players love him and haven't quit on him -- notice how they took New England down to the wire last week. I think the Jets send Ryan off with a win, even if that's at the expense of their draft positioning. [Prediction: Jets 19, Dolphins 17]
Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Diego Chargers
Depending on how a few other games shake out, this could be a win-and-you're-in battle for KC and SD. Rivers throws three touchdowns to punch San Diego's ticket to the playoffs [Prediction: Charger 31, Chiefs 20]
Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons
The winner takes the NFC South and the automatic playoff bid that comes with it. Will Julio Jones be able to play? And even if he suits up, will he be effective? That question may be the key determinant for Atlanta. [Prediction: Falcons 17, Panthers 9]
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions
Both teams will be playing past Sunday, but this'll determine who wins the NFC North and gets that valuable first round bye. The Lions will put pressure on Rodgers, but the franchise hasn't won a game at Lambeau Field since 1991. [Prediction: Packers 42, Lions 31]
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Can Andy Dalton succeed in back-to-back prime time games? Cincinnati will need him to. The Steelers have already locked up their playoff berth, so they won't be as hungry or engaged. [Prediction: Bengals 28, Steelers 21]
