This late in the season Jawaan Taylor Jersey , it’s wise to invest only in meaningful games, particularly those in which both teams have something at stake. Unfortunately, on the final weekend of the schedule, we don’t find too many of those. Most intriguing is Carolina (No. 7 in AP Pro32) at Atlanta (No. 10, AP Pro32), where there’s plenty on the line. The Panthers own a playoff berth and still can win the NFC South, though they need Tampa Bay to upset New Orleans. Atlanta, which came so close to winning the Super Bowl in February, must win or have Seattle lose to qualify. Although the Panthers appear to be the much better team, they are 3+-point underdogs at Atlanta – the idea being there’s much more desperation for the Falcons. We’ll buy that, though if they were to meet in the playoffs, we’d go the other way. FALCONS Josh Oliver Jersey , 21-20 KNOCKOUT LEAGUE TIP Kudos to anyone who has gotten to the final week of the season without being knocked out.

Upset special: 9-7 against spread, 9-7 straight up — FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — The Patriots have released veteran defensive end Adrian Clayborn and signed six players to offset free agency losses on both sides of the ball.The 30-year-old Clayborn was released Friday after one season in New England and just a day after the Patriots traded for another veteran edge rusher in Michael Bennett. In addition, the Patriots also re-signed defensive end John Simon and added lineman Mike Pennel, who together with Bennett will try to make up for the production lost after Trey Flowers signed with the Detroit Lions.Simon was originally signed by the Patriots last September and appeared in 11 games with two starts, totaling 17 tackles and two sacks. He also played in all three playoff games last season and had a half-sack in the AFC championship game.Defensive back Terrence Brooks was signed to add depth to a secondary that won’t have Eric Rowe back.On offense, New England added a pair of receivers, signing Bruce Ellington and Maurice Harris. They will compete for a role in a receiver group that won’t have Cordarrelle Patterson back after he signed with Chicago.The Patriots also signed tight end Matt LaCosse as they await Rob Gronkowski’s decision on whether he will return for his 10th season.
