With week 17 having playoff implications for many teams, there will be alot of pressure on many teams to win. Here are my top 3 teams that are under the most pressure: Carolina: Even though they are in the playoffs, they have to win in order to get the #2 seed(assuming Atl beats the terrible Rams). They have to play at NO who is 6-1 at home this year while Carolina's 4 losses have all come on the road. Miami: Sure you can say, Miami is content to be here, they're underdogs, blah,blah,blah. But, I feel that they have the momentum coming into this game with the Jets losing recently and should win this game. Even with the significant turn around last season, I think that not getting into the playoffs would be a disappointment after coming so close. Dallas: Dallas were the favs to win the NFC East and the NFC, with 13 pro-bowlers and big expectations. Not getting into the playoffs would be a huge dissapointment, even with the injuries they have had this season. Out of these three, I feel that Dallas and Carolina choke this weekend, you?

Dallas is both tired and beat up, especially Romo... who loves to choke as a general rule this time of year. Philly has nothing to lose. This is the highest risk of a choke by far.
Miami is not impressive, but Miami wins games...and close ones too. They could get beat, but they won't crack under the pressure.
Carolina has already played AWESOME football under pressure and has finally commanded my full respect. The Bucs were the pretender. Carolina is tired but they're so good right now that only another day of Brees playing in 'God mode' will foil them.

Totally disagree with you on the Fish - all the pressure in the world on the Jets after total collapse and Mangini's job is on the line. What pressure is on the Fish? They are underdogs anyway and while Chad would love nothing more than to knock Jets out of playoffs, even if they lose they had great season after one win last season. But you're right about Cowboys - Romo and the 'Boys facing huge pressure and you would have to believe they have a good chance of cracking in Philly. Not sure about Panthers - how do they react after tough loss to Giants? Saints looking to get passing record for Brees (he needs 401 yards to catch Dan Marino for single season record), maybe this leads to picks for Carolina, but yes, they really do need the game to have any shot at making Super Bowl.
