If you thought Week 15 of the NFL season was going to be another hum-drum weekend of football you would be dead wrong. From coast to coast underdogs everywhere were stepping up their game and taking down Goliath. In particular four slumping teams turned it around and beat the odds.Let the crazy begin ... Game: Dallas Cowboys New Orleans SaintsFavorite: New Orleans (6.5)The storylines coming into this game lead to what seemed like a pretty obvious conclusion. The Saints were unstoppable at home this season and the Cowboys are dismal in recent December football games. The Cowboys put up 439 yards of total offense against the Saints and forced 3 turnovers in the 24-17 win, effectively ending the Saints run to perfection.Source: 
Losman at quarterback due to injuries to JaMarcus Russell and Charlie Fyre, the Raiders threw for over 100 yards and rushed for over 200 yards on the Broncos defense. Meanwhile the Broncos only managed 80 yards on the ground in the loss to the 20-19 loss to the Raiders.Source: Game: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Seattle SeahawksFavorite: Seattle (7.5)Just one year after the Detroit Lions set the NFL record for worst record (0-16), the Bucs seemed to be threatening to take the record back. Coming into Seattle, Tampa Bay managed only 1 win (Week 9 vs Green Bay). The Seahawks haven't been a hot team either, winning a mediocre 5 games this season So who would win the stink-fest in SeattleTampa. Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselback went 27 of 46 for 256 yards, 1 touchdown and a whopping 4 interceptions.
Rookie quarterback Josh Freeman triumphed in the 24-7 win over Seattle, throwing for 205 yards, a pair of touchdowns and an interception.Source: Game: Minnesota Vikings Carolina PanthersFavorite: Minnesota (8.5)The Minnesota Vikings are a reinvigorated, inspired team this season. Since signing quarterback Brett Favre and rookie wide out Percy Harvin in the off season, the Vikings have only lost 2 games (Week 7 vs Pittsburgh, Week 13 vs Arizona) The Panthers entered the game with a dismal 5-8 record So the game was the Vikings for pillaging rightWrong again. Panthers quarterback Matt Moore threw for 299 yards and 3 touchdowns, topping veteran quarterback Brett Favre who threw for 224 yards and an interception. Overall the Minnesota Vikings failed to reach 200 total yards of offense in the 26-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers.Source: Kyle Drabek could possibly become the greatest pitcher in baseball for the next 15 years, but the chances of that happening are very slim In fact, I am glad we got rid of Drabek. The Phillies, who are one of the oldest franchises in baseball, have rarely had a homegrown stud pitcher in the past 60 years.Every year the Phillies have a new "future ace" pitcher, and every year the guy either fizzles out, or the next year is still struggling at the minor-league level (e.g.
Scott Mathieson).Kyle Drabek, a 22-year-old who has already had Tommy John surgery, is more likely to become the next Carlton Loewer (remember him Of course not, he was terrible) before he become the next Robin Roberts.The Phillies seemingly do a great job of picking

position players in the draft (Utley, Howard, Ruiz, Rollins), at least in recent memory. The best pitcher to be drafted by the Fightin' Phils has been Cole Hamels, who, other than his terrific 2008 postseason, has not been the so-called "ace" we assumed he would immediately be.Our last two "can't-miss" pitchers, Carlos Carrasco and Kyle Drabek, are now wearing Indians and Blue Jays uniforms, respectively. I will make the boldprediction now that Phillies fans will not be losing any sleep in the upcoming seasons about having a rotation without Carrasco and Drabek.Kyle Drabek, enjoy your stay north of the border. Maybe someday you can follow your father's footsteps and earn a Cy Young award, but I feel your career will simply be a "sigh.". This weekend, Portland played a back to back against Orlando and Miami on the front end of a tough four-game road trip.
