Ranking games in order of intrigue
Why this game is intriguing: It's amazing that this is even considered a marquee game. Before the season, no one would've thought that. But at this point, there's no doubt that it is. Somehow, the Indianapolis Colts have soldiered on without their coach to a 4-3 record. The Miami Dolphins, who are winning in all three phases, have enjoyed similarly surprising success. Oh, and did we mention it's pick No. 1 vs. pick No. 8 of the 2012 NFL Draft: Andrew Luck vs. Ryan Tannehill (assuming the latter is healthy enough to play). Plenty will be in Luck's talented hands, as the Dolphins stop the run and force opposing quarterbacks to make plays. This all would've been entertaining regardless, but the fact that it could have real playoff implications is mindboggling.
