Carolina (1-4) @ Atlanta (2-3)
The Falcons proved that they are a long way from being NFC Super Bowl contenders after they lost to the Packers yet again last week. But they’re not exactly bottom feeders either and a win at home against Carolina shouldn’t be too much to ask for.
Atlanta 31 Carolina 19
Jacksonville (1-4) @ Pittsburgh (3-2)
It was really stupid of everyone to doubt the Steelers and call them washed up among other things. They still have this game, 2 against the Bengals, 2 against the Browns, and games against the Cardinals, Rams, and Chiefs. That’s eight more wins right there which basically equals a playoff spot.
Pittsburgh 28 Jacksonville 17
Philadelphia (1-4) @ Washington (3-1)
I’m not confident in a Redskins team just coming off the bye against a desperate Eagles team. If the Eagles lose this game, they’re not going 9-1 the rest of the way, which would get them to 10-6. The real Dream Team will show up in this one.
Philadelphia 36 Washington 13
St. Louis (0-4) @ Green Bay (5-0)
There are no words.
Green Bay 35 St. Louis 10
Buffalo (4-1) @ NY Giants (3-2)
I’m pretty sure the Bills are two completely different teams at home and on the road. Not expecting the Giants to blow another winnable home game like they did last week against Seattle.
NY Giants 29 Buffalo 7
San Francisco (4-1) @ Detroit (5-0)
Frank Gore will get destroyed by Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley. The Niners fall back to reality this week.
Detroit 27 San Francisco 19
Indianapolis (0-5) @ Cincinnati (3-2)
They will win one day…
Indianapolis 33 Cincinnati 10
Cleveland (1-3) @ Oakland (3-2)
“Win one for Al” lasts one more week.
Oakland 24 Cleveland 17
Houston (3-2) @ Baltimore (3-1)
This is just a gut feeling. I think this game will be decided by the offences and I like Matt Schaub, even without Andre Johnson, over Joe Flacco anyday.
Houston 26 Baltimore 21
New Orleans (4-1) @ Tampa Bay (3-2)
The Saints play their third straight road game against one of the worst 3-2 teams in recent memory. If Alex Smith and the Niners can put up 48, then Drew Brees and the Saints should have no problem putting up AT LEAST 30 points.
New Orleans 33 Tampa Bay 14
Dallas (2-2) @ New England (4-1)
I'm expecting Tony Romo to have a bounce-back game and at least keep this one close but the fact is the Patriots rarely ever lose at Foxboro.
New England 23 Dallas 20
Minnesota (1-4) @ Chicago (2-3)
At the beginning of the year, I thought the Vikes were an 8-8 team. And I still think they are. Yeah, last week's win was against Arizona but sometimes a win is a win, and that first win should finally give this Minnesota team some confidence moving forward. Especially with Jared Allen and the Vikings d-line having the chance to feast on the O-line of the Bears.
Minnesota 26 Chicago 20
Miami (0-4) @ NY Jets (2-3)
I don't think too highly of the Jets, but they're good enough not to let Dolphins QB Matt Moore beat them on national television on a Monday night.
NY Jets 28 Miami 16
MVP Watch (Last week's rank in brackets)
5. Wes Welker (5) WR New England 45 rec 740 yds 5 tds
He has an astounding 499 yards receiving in the last three weeks.
4. Drew Brees (4) QB New Orleans 1769 yds 12 tds 5 int
Brees seems to be under the radar this year, maybe because he hasn't had a huge 400-yard, 4 TD performance yet.
3. Tom Brady (2) QB New England 1874 yds 14 TD 6 INT
He 's slowed down the last few weeks after that blazing start he got out to.
2. Cam Newton (3) QB Carolina 1610 yds 7 TD 6 INT 5 rushing tds
His 7 passing TD’s are so-so but factor in his 5 rushing TD’s (league leader has 6), and Newton is good for 2-3 touchdowns per week so far.
1. Aaron Rodgers (1) QB Green Bay 1722 yds 14 TD 2 INT
Even down 14-0 like he was in Atlanta last Sunday, Rodgers still finds ways to light up secondaries and win games.
