Week 14 is upon us, complete with potential playoff previews, what may amount to early elimination games and classic matchups that remind us of of classic NFC playoff battles ... Redskins at Bears and Cowboys at Packers fit the bill.

Ah, but Zach ... Keshawn Martin is facing his former team in Houston. He might catch three balls.
By the time I get the binocular thingies to focus the satellite strike, the snowtroopers blast me through 10 feet of ice. Uh, Blaine Gabbert is doing well. #segue
The 49ers and their new quarterback hope to make it two in a row at Cleveland, which means they'll probably make it two in a row. You can see the prediction below, along with the rest of the Week 14 slate. Feel free to share your thoughts on any game ... @HarrisonNFL is the place.
Now, let's get to it...
Elliot Harrison went 13-3 on his predictions for Week 13, giving him a record of 115-77 so far this season. How will he fare in Week 14? His picks are below.
Indianapolis beats the Jaguars, rebounding from an awful outing in Pittsburgh. So how do the Colts turn it around, and help their backup QB? Run the football against a front that just let Marcus Mariota rush for 100 yards on them. The last three games ... 2.7, 1.0, and 3.0 yards per carry, respectively. Yuck. They also must stop Allen Robinson, whose 11 receiving TDs are most among NFL wideouts. #INDvsJAX
Bill O'Brien will pay. He will pay. (Martin this week: two catches, 17 yards and one drop.) With Danny Amendola a bit healthier and James White a wee bit more comfortable in the offense, New England should win this game. The Texans' defense has been balling of late, having held opposing quarterbacks to 5 yards per attempt during the four-game stretch leading up to this past Sunday, when Tyrod Taylor hit a couple of vertical shots on them. Houston's pass rush must be in Tom Brady's face all day -- finishing with only one sack isn't going to cut it. Make Brady more uncomfortable than he already is having to throw to those spare parts. #NEvsHOU
