Patriots vs. Cardinals winners picks for Monday Night Football Week 14

Week 14 comes to a close tonight with the Monday Night Football game between the New England Patriots and the Arizona Cardinals. Tonight’s game continues to carry playoff implications, specifically with the Patriots who slide into the seventh seed in the AFC playoff bracket if they come away with the win. The Cardinals are on the edge of being eliminated from the NFC side of the playoff bracket, but they survived this weekend as the other results that would have forced them out did not happen.

With the Patriots currently 6-6, a win ties them with the New York Jets in the AFC East and puts them a game behind the Miami Dolphins in a tightening battle behind the Buffalo Bills in the division. For Arizona, they are currently in third place in the NFC West, and the result tonight will not change that. A win pushes them to 5-8 for the year, a game ahead of the Los Angeles Rams for the basement of the division, but they would still be two games behind the Seattle Seahawks for second place; a loss tonight ties them with the Rams, but they stay ahead based on tie breaks.

Tonight’s game will air on ESPN. The Manning-cast will also air on ESPN2.
