The NFL regular season begins in September, and endstomorrow. The time seems so short, even for fans of mediocre teams. The last Sunday of December spells the end ofthe road for many teams and fans, but gives hopes to others who look ahead tothe playoffs. After 16 weeks offootball, we've finally reached the end of the NFL regular season. This Sundaywill mark the final full slate of NFL games until next year, making it abittersweet day for football aficionados. While it's difficult to say goodbye to our Sunday's full of football,Week 17 always provides some intriguing matchups, as teams can often differ wildly in theirmotivations heading into the final game of the year. The game of the day has to be the Indianapolis Colts vs.Tennessee Titans showdown, at the Titans home field in Nashville. This game hasbeen moved to “Sunday Night Football,” which is a sure sign of the generalinterest of Football fans throughout the country. If theHouston Texans lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier in the day, theColts-Titans game will be for the AFC South title. Otherwise, the winner willget the No. 6 seed. Whoever loses the game will be eliminated from playoffshopes. The Cleveland Brownsvs. Baltimore Ravens game in Baltimore should be interesting. The Browns have been eliminated from playoffcontention, but the game has two of the NFL’s teams who have been on great funto watch, and who have been winning. Thegame features two of the NFL’s budding star quarterbacks, the chance for theRavens to clinch a playoff spot, and a chance for the Browns to ruin their rivals’season. The Ravens can clinch the AFC North with a win, but could miss theplayoffs altogether with a loss and a Steelers win. At the end of the day, as in any game day, there will bewinners and losers, teams advancing tothe playoffs, and others caught up, already, by the doldrums of the offseason. In this pause between a so far mediocre college bowl season, beforethe real Bowl rivalries hopefully scorch the screen tomorrow, enjoy the lastday of the NFL. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
