Yahoo Sports Kings NFL Weekly Countdown Show Week 13

As the calendar turns to December, the NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape. With five games remaining in the regular season, there are currently 21 teams either in or within one game of a playoff spot.

The Carolina Panthers own the NFL’s best record at 11-0. Carolina, who travels to New Orleans this week (FOX, 4:25 PM ET), has won 15 consecutive regular-season games and the team’s 11-0 start is the first in franchise history.

The Chiefs and Raiders are both in the AFC playoff mix with five games remaining in the regular season.

Denver sits atop the AFC West with a 9-2 record after handing New England its first loss last week with a 30-24 overtime victory on Sunday night. The Broncos have won two in a row, the first two starts of quarterback BROCK OSWEILER’s career.

This Sunday MeanGene is in New Orleans for the Panthers vs Saints game, the big question will be can the Saints knock off the 11-0 Carolina Panthers.

The Yahoo Sports Kings are MeanGene, Ronnie Brooks and Rod Johnson. Join us every week as we countdown every NFL game on Yahoo Sports Radio and Yahoo Sports Radio.com
