Atlanta (9-5-1) at Cleveland (8-7)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Falcons by 3.
Last meeting: Falcons won, 17-14, at Atlanta on Nov. 28, 1993.
Key stat: Browns are 2-5 at home.
Worth watching: Rookie RB William Green leads Browns with 709 rushing yards (3.3 avg.). RB Warrick Dunn leads Falcons with 860 rushing yards (4.1 avg.).
Outlook: The Browns have not had much of a home-field advantage, while the Falcons have been more than competitive on the road (4-2-1). A win puts the Falcons in the playoffs. Cleveland needs to win and get some help.
Miami (9-6) at New England (8-7)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Dolphins by 1.
Last meeting: Dolphins won, 26-13, at Miami on Oct. 6.
Key stat: Dolphins have won six of past seven vs. Patriots.
Worth watching: Dolphins DE Jason Taylor leads NFL with 18 1/2 sacks. Patriots QB Tom Brady leads NFL with 27 TD passes.
Outlook: Both teams are coming off losses. The Dolphins will take AFC East with a win, but if the Patriots win, they'll need a Jets loss to win the division. The Dolphins have lost their past four road games, but the Patriots have looked awful in losing their past two games.
Tennessee (10-5) at Houston (4-11)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Titans by 9.
Last meeting: Titans won, 17-10, at Tennessee on Nov. 10.
Key stat: Titans have won four straight by an average of 12 points.
Worth watching: Titans QB Steve McNair has thrown 22 TD passes vs. 15 interceptions. Texans rookie QB David Carr has thrown nine TDs vs. 14 interceptions.
Outlook: The Titans have won eight of nine and are rolling. The Texans might have an emotional edge, playing against the franchise that deserted Houston, but that's about the only advantage for the expansion team.
Minnesota (5-10) at Detroit (3-12)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Vikings by 3 1/2 .
Last meeting: Vikings won, 31-24, at Minnesota on Oct. 13.
Key stat: Vikings have won five of past six vs. Lions.
Worth watching: RB Michael Bennett (1,214 rushing yards, 5.1 avg.) has seven 100-yard games, one short of Robert Smith's Vikings record. RB James Stewart leads the Lions with 996 rushing yards (4.5 avg.).
Outlook: The Vikings have won two straight, both over playoff contenders - New Orleans and Miami. The Lions continue to fade away, and this could be the last game for Detroit coach Marty Mornhinweg.
Cincinnati (2-13) at Buffalo (7-8)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Bills by 7.
Last meeting: Bills won, 33-20, at Cincinnati on Dec. 6, 1998.
Key stat: Bills have lost two of past three, scoring only 37 points.
Worth watching: Bengals QB Jon Kitna has thrown 15 TD passes vs. seven interceptions in his past nine games. For the season, Bills QB Drew Bledsoe has thrown 23 TD passes vs. 15 interceptions.
Outlook: The Bengals can wrap up the first pick in the draft with a loss. The Bills are playing for a .500 finish.
Carolina (6-9) at New Orleans (9-6)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Saints by 7.
Last meeting: Saints won, 34-24, at Carolina on Nov. 10.
Key stat: Saints haven't held an opponent under 20 points this season.
Worth watching: RB Deuce McAllister leads NFC with 1,271 rushing yards (4.3 avg.). WR Joe Horn leads Saints with 84 catches, seven for TDs.
Outlook: The Saints' 29th-ranked defense has put pressure on the offense all season, and Carolina brings the No. 4-ranked defense to New Orleans, which has a shot at a wild-card berth.
Jacksonville (6-9) at Indianapolis (9-6)
Time: 4:05 p.m. today.
TV: Ch. 9.
Line: Off the board.
Last meeting: Colts won, 28-25, at Jacksonville on Sept. 8.
Key stat: Colts are 4-3 at home.
Worth watching: Jaguars QB Mark Brunell has thrown 17 TD passes vs. seven interceptions. Colts QB Peyton Manning has thrown 26 TD passes vs. 19 interceptions.
Outlook: The Colts will grab a wild-card berth with a win, and they may not have to face Brunell, who has a hamstring injury. Rookie David Garrard would take his place.
Arizona (5-10) at Denver (8-7)
Time: 4:15 p.m. today.
Line: Broncos by 11.
Last meeting: Broncos won, 38-17, at Arizona on Sept. 23, 2001.
Key stat: Broncos have lost four of their past five.
Worth watching: QB Steve Beuerlein (four TD passes vs. five interceptions) may get a chance to lead the Broncos into the playoffs. Cardinals QB Jake Plummer has thrown only 17 TD passes vs. 20 interceptions.
Outlook: The Broncos could be eliminated from playoff consideration before game begins. They need to win and then get plenty of help. Will Denver's late-season switch to Beuerlein work?
Green Bay (12-3) at N.Y. Jets (8-7)
Time: 4:15 p.m. today.
TV: Chs. 45, 5.
Line: Jets by 1.
Last meeting: Jets won, 20-16, at Green Bay on Sept. 3, 2000.
Key stat: Packers lead NFL with turnover differential of plus-18.
Worth watching: RB Curtis Martin leads Jets with 1,011 rushing yards (4.2 avg.). Packers RB Ahman Green has rushed for 1,173 (4.3 avg.).
Outlook: The Packers have lost an occasional key road game, but they're 3-1 in outdoor road games this year. The Jets have shown great resilience and will win the AFC East if the Dolphins lose to the Patriots and New York beats the Packers.
Seattle (6-9) at San Diego (8-7)
Time: 4:15 p.m. today.
Line: Chargers by 3.
Last meeting: Seahawks won, 25-22, at San Diego on Dec. 30, 2001.
Key stat: Seahawks have beaten Chargers four straight.
Worth watching: Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander leads NFC with 15 rushing TDs. Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson has 14.
Outlook: The Chargers go into the day with a shot at the playoffs, but they'll need a win and lots of help. Will their old AFC West rivals spoil it for them?
Tampa Bay (11-4) at Chicago (4-11)
Time: 8:30 p.m. today.
TV: ESPN.
Line: Bucs by 7.
Last meeting: Bears won, 27-3, at Soldier Field on Dec. 16, 2001.
Key stat: Bears have won three straight over Bucs.
Worth watching: Bucs DE Simeon Rice leads NFC with 15 1/2 sacks. LB Roosevelt Colvin leads Bears with 10 1/2 .
Outlook: With the Eagles' loss, the Bucs have a shot to lock up top seed in the NFC, even if Green Bay wins. So, the Bucs will have all the incentive they need. And if the weather turns colder than expected, they could win in sub-40-degree temperatures for the first time in their 27-year history.
