The playoff scramble is on and for some coaches, getting in might not even save them. Jason La Canfora joins me and says Ron Rivera probably needs a DEEP playoff run to avoid getting fired (the D will be his downfall, not Cam), as we break down the postseason picture, sort out the Steelers' issues and much more.

The Packers are 5-7-1 but IT'S NOT OVER. Green Bay could win out and have a chance to back-door its way into the playoffs. Ryan Wilson points out that the Packers are 15-2 against the Bears since 2011, and he's sure the Pack will make it 16-2. Ryan picks every game, and you've got to check out the score in Pats-Steelers.

The Vikings just fired their OC and Mike Zimmer's going to be on their backs all week long. The Dolphins just played their Super Bowl. Minnesota's laying a big number but I LOVE this spot: Lay the -7 and grab the Vikes. I can't believe the Colts are -3 vs. red-hot Dallas (but take Indy) and here's a special PSA regarding Raiders-Bengals.

SportsLine's number cruncher Stephen Oh crunched some numbers and ... it's not good news for the Steelers. It's not ALL bad news: Pittsburgh still makes the playoffs, but the computer says it will choke away the AFC North and be the sixth seed. Here's how the entire playoff picture looks; you might be surprised who missed.

We know who the NFL's highest-paid players are according to their listed salaries, but what about when you factor in taxes and salary deferrals? Joel Corry did the math and came up with the REAL list of the league's 15 highest-paid players, and it doesn't look the same.

Doug Martin and Leonard Fournette began the season with VERY different outlooks, but now? Jamey Eisenberg says you can start both in Week 15, with Martin facing a Bengals D that's the worst in the league vs. Fantasy RBs. Jamey's got all the starts and sits, and says watch out for a potential bust in Pats-Steelers.

Patrick Mahomes had thrown for 4,000 yards and nearly 41 TDs BEFORE the Chiefs played the Ravens. Kind of crazy that he even needed an MVP moment, but he certainly had one. All of us have Mahomes at the top of our list ... but I still think Brees could catch him if the Chargers upend the Chiefs' run at the division.
