#103 SAN DIEGO @ #104 SAN FRANCISCO
TV: 8:25 PM EST, CBS Sports
Line: Pick, Total: 41

The San Diego Chargers already face a very difficult task in trying to get back into playoff position with just two weeks left. Making it even more challenging is an expanding list of injured players. The Chargers won't have leading receiver Keenan Allen available and running back Ryan Mathews' status is unclear for Saturday evening's visit to the eliminated San Francisco 49ers. San Diego (8-6) was in control of the AFC's final playoff spot even after a 23-14 setback to New England on December 7th, but lost that distinction with a 22-10 defeat to another one of the conference's top teams, Denver, on Sunday.

The Chargers are one-game behind the current wild-card leaders, Pittsburgh and a Baltimore team they beat 34-33 on November 30th. San Diego also sits second out of three teams with 8-6 records and visits the top one, Kansas City, in its regular-season finale December 28th. "We've got two big games coming up, and we've got to turn our focus to that," wide receiver Eddie Royal said. "That will be a great time to get going." The Chargers, though, will have to play this game without Allen, who broke his right collarbone and hurt his right ankle last weekend. The second-year pro has a career-high 77 catches for 783 yards and four touchdowns.

"There's no doubt it hurts," said quarterback Philip Rivers, who missed practice Wednesday with chest and back injuries but expects to play. San Diego will have to lean on a receiving corps that features three other players with at least 45 receptions and 585 yards in Royal, Malcom Floyd and tight end Antonio Gates. The Chargers might also get tight end Ladarius Green (19 catches, 226 yards) back from concussion and ankle injuries. "I do feel like they will get the job done," Allen told the team's official website. "We will have a playoff seed, and I will hopefully come back and play."

Mathews sat out against Denver with a severely sprained right ankle, and wasn't at practice to begin this shortened week. Punter Mike Scifres also has a broken collarbone, and San Diego has placed second-leading tackler Donald Butler on injured reserve because of a dislocated elbow. Injuries have also played a role in San Francisco (7-7) missing the playoffs for the first time since 2010 with Patrick Willis (toe) and NaVorro Bowman (knee) among the most notable. Running back Frank Gore suffered a concussion in Sunday's 17-7 loss in Seattle that officially eliminated the 49ers, and his status is unclear.

Linebacker Ahmad Brooks is dealing with a dislocated (left) thumb, and it's unknown if right tackle Anthony Davis will return after missing four games because of a concussion. Leading tackler and rookie linebacker Chris Borland, however, is likely done for the season after hurting his ankle last weekend. The 49ers released defensive lineman Ray McDonald on Wednesday amid an investigation by San Jose police into McDonald on suspicion of sexual assault. San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke said CEO Jed York and coach Jim Harbaugh also were involved in the decision. This is the second time in recent months McDonald has been the subject of a police investigation. The 49ers have also dealt with the uncertainty of coach Jim Harbaugh's future.

Harbaugh, who led the team to a Super Bowl two seasons ago and two other NFC championships games in his tenure, has one season left on a five-year contract. Among the rumored landing spots for Harbaugh next season are his alma mater Michigan or the Oakland Raiders. "I would rather talk about how proud I am of them. There's been a lot taken away from them and the way they've been playing," said Harbaugh, who won 36 games over the previous three seasons. "I hate to keep contributing to that." Colin Kaepernick has also struggled mightily as the 49ers have totaled two touchdowns during a three-game skid -- the franchise's longest since an 0-5 start in 2010.

He has posted a 54.3 quarterback rating -- significantly lower than his 92.1 in the first 11 games -- with four interceptions to just one touchdown and has been sacked 15 times, bringing his total to an NFL-worst 49. "Regardless of the situation, we're going out to win," Kaepernick said. "There's no one on this team that's going to step on that field and say, 'Hey, our season is over. We're not going out to compete.' We're going to compete until the end." Kaepernick is set to face San Diego for the first time, and try to prevent the Chargers from claiming a series-best fourth consecutive victory. Rivers had three touchdowns in the last matchup, a 27-point triumph December 16^th, 2010.

#105 PHILADELPHIA @ #106 WASHINGTON
TV: 4:30 PM EST, NFL Network
Line: Eagles -8, Total: 50

No longer in control of their 2014 playoff destiny, the battered and turnover-prone Philadelphia Eagles are facing what amounts to a must-win situation against the historically bad Washington Redskins. With the visiting Eagles looking to avoid their longest losing streak in 15 months, Robert Griffin III hopes to make the most of another opportunity Saturday and help the Redskins halt a six-game losing streak. Philadelphia (9-5) led the NFC East following a impressive win at Dallas in Week #13, but back-to-back home losses to Seattle and the Cowboys have dropped the defending division champs one game back in the division.

Now the Eagles need to beat Washington and the New York Giants and a Dallas loss to either Indianapolis or the Redskins to return to the top. They'll have to win both games while Seattle, Green Bay or Detroit has to lose twice to secure a wild card berth. "I don't know if playing a scenario out in your head makes you feel better or whatever; I don't know how that helps you," head coach Chip Kelly said. "It's about one thing we can do and that's go out and play against Washington on Saturday." Kelly understands his squad will likely have to cut down on its league-high 34 turnovers to reach its goals.

With injured quarterback Nick Foles not quite ready to return, Mark Sanchez hopes to bounce back after completing just 56.3 percent of his passes for a combined 348 yards with two scores and three picks in his past two. "That's what has been hurting us," Sanchez said. "We need better ball security and that starts with me." Meanwhile, Washington (3-11) is tied for 31st with five interceptions and has forced 16 turnovers on the season. The Redskins are also allowing 28.3 points per game during a skid that has guaranteed a last-place finish for the sixth time in seven seasons.

Following a 24-13 setback to the N.Y. Giants last Sunday, they've lost 19 of 22 for the franchise's worst stretch since the 1960s. Washington has been particularly ineffective offensively, averaging 12.0 points over its past five games. Alfred Morris has struggled on the ground, rushing for a combined 55 yards on 22 carries in the last two. Griffin will be back under center after he was benched two weeks ago amid criticism from head coach Jay Gruden over the former Heisman Trophy winner's ability to lead the offense. He went 18 of 27 passing for 236 yards with a touchdown and also ran for a season-best 46 yards last Sunday afternoon after Colt McCoy aggravated a neck injury.

"He's got every chance this week against the Eagles to take this position and run with it," Gruden said. "And I'd like to see him have some urgency about him and play well, and hopefully there won't be much of a debate if he does well." Washington's leaky offensive line has given up the league's second-most sacks with 53. That certainly doesn't bode well heading into a matchup with the Eagles, who rank second with 47 behind 6’4” Connor Barwin's 14.5. Philadelphia, though, will be without outside linebacker Trent Cole after he had surgery on his broken left hand. Brandon Graham will make his first start since 2012 when he was a defensive end in a 4-3 alignment.

The Eagles, who have allowed 29.8 points per game over their last five, did not record a sack while allowing Kirk Cousins to throw for 427 yards in a 37-34 victory over the visiting Redskins on September 21st. Foles started for Philadelphia, finding 6’3” wide receiver Jordan Matthews for two touchdowns and Jeremy Maclin for another score. Maclin has 16 catches for 270 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games versus Washington. LeSean McCoy managed 22 rushing yards on 1.2 per carry -- his worst average since his rookie 2009 season -- after he had run for a combined 261 and three scores in two 2013 matchups.

CAMELIA BOWL

Take: (209) SOUTH ALABAMA -2.5

Breaking down the college bowls is a different process from the regular season for me. The numbers and the matchups still matter to be sure, but this is the time of the season when the intangibles have to given added weight. That includes coaching, incentive and the overall atmosphere.

That’s why I’ve learned to be more patient now than in the past when it comes to making my actual plays. I might form an opinion as soon as the opening lines go up. But even if it ends up costing me a little value, I won’t play until there’s a good feel for what might take place based on information that becomes available.

Coaching changes, injuries, suspensions and getting a feel for how much excitement there is for the upcoming bowl can be of paramount importance in determining the outcome of the game. So my best advice is to compile as many notes as you can find before jumping in.

As for this game, I’ve got two very closely matched teams in terms of overall talent dueling as Bowling Green takes on South Alabama. Bluntly stated, neither team is very good and I see little advantage either way on paper.

But there certainly appears to be significantly more anticipation of this event on the South Alabama side. It sure seems as though everyone associated with the Jaguars is really revved up for this game, which is the first ever bowl appearance for South Alabama. It’s going to be a virtual home game for the Jaguars and I’d be shocked if we get anything other than a very fired up South Alabama team on Saturday.

Bowling Green struggled down the stretch and the Falcons QB play in those games was very spotty. James Knapke ended up getting yanked in each of the last two Bowling Green games and given the style of offense the Falcons utilize, they aren’t going to get many wins if the guy under center is off. Remember, Knapke was the Falcons #2 QB to begin with, who became QB1 when Matt Johnson injured his hip in the season opener. Knapke appears to have regressed down the stretch and I don’t look at him as necessarily being an on field asset at this point.

South Alabama is also in lousy form. The offense really bogged down and the Jaguars dumped their offensive coordinator at the conclusion of the regular season. Bryant Vincent is the new OC and he’s already generating excitement among the players with his speed things up approach.

I think this a big key to the game. In essence, Bowling Green now must face an offense they have no film on. The flip side is that there could be some mistakes by South Alabama playing more up tempo. But if we’re talking push vs. shove, I’ll side with the team putting in something new that appears to have the players geared up.

There’s no question the crowd in this small stadium in Montgomery will be mostly pulling hard for South Alabama. I believe the Jaguars might want it more than a Bowling Green entry that kind of tossed in the towel in the MAC title game. The number is very reasonable based on power ratings, and the intangibles here have me on South Alabama minus the points.
