Jason La Canfora says there are concerns with Ron Rivera in Carolina, but would an opening there take a back seat to the Packers' gig? SHOCKINGLY, NO. JLC explains why a lot of coaches would consider the Panthers an even better job than Green Bay as we talk coaching rumors and all the latest NFL news and notes.

The Pats have won the AFC East a whopping 14 of the last 16 years ... yet in that same span they're only 8-8 in South Florida. Ryan Wilson says you can forget about the Pats being 8-point favorites because the Dolphins will win STRAIGHT UP (get your money-line bets in now) and you won't believe who he's got winning two in a row.

Speaking of good money-line bets ... I'm picking a 7-point 'dog to WIN in Kansas City. Lamar Jackson and Gus Edwards are going to get loose against the 32nd-ranked rush defense, and the Ravens will stay on the Steelers' heels. I'm also taking the underdog in a HUUUUUGE game in the NFC East, and here's who else I've got.

The Packers coaching job has opened up just four times since 1992 (and, amazingly, just 11 times since Vince Lombardi arrived in 1959). Now it's open again, so what direction should the storied franchise go? Jason La Canfora knows where he'd go, and says the Packers should get on a plane and try to persuade this coach ASAP.

The Cowboys aren't just America's team, they're also Stephen Oh's computer's team. SportsLine's number cruncher simulated the rest of the NFL season, and it turns out Dallas has a 72.9 percent chance to win its division. The computer also loves this second-place team that it gives a 90.2 percent chance of getting in.

We know your Week 14 matchups mean so much to you. That's why Dave Richard went deep into the fantasy stats to come up with who'll likely thrive and who'll likely be a dud. Dave points out that Chris Herndon has seen a significant boost in playing time since the Jets bye week, but he's not so high on this Saint.

Just when it looked like MVP was Drew Brees' award to lose, he lost it. Brees was our unanimous choice in our last two ballots, but after a dreadful outing against the Cowboys the two-man race has now flipped in Patrick Mahomes' favor. I think ultimately it will come down to whose team gets the No. 1 seed. Check out all our ballots here.

The Steelers entered 2008 with the league's toughest schedule and weren't expected to make it back to the playoffs ... but ended up winning their sixth Lombardi Trophy. On the 10th anniversary, players and coaches talk with Bryant McFadden each week about the Steelers' improbable run. This week, Deshea Townsend revisits his game-winning pick-six vs. Dallas.
