Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo Bills:

The Bills are due for a win, and no one circles the drain like the Jacksonville Jaguars.  Winner: Bills

Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens:

It seems like Orton and crew are getting lucky week after week.  Gotta like the home team in this one.  Winner: Ravens

Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts:

This is a tough one, but again, go with the home team.  The Colts always tend to bounce back after someone runs all over them.  Winner: Colts

Green Bay Packers at Washington Redskins:

I think the Skins have a hang over from last week.  Donovan will one-hop one too many passes and Hall will continually be burned by Rodgers.  Winner: Packers

St. Louis Rams at Detroit Lions:

Early on, I think Detroit was looking forward to this match up, now they are worried.  However, Bradford has not won on the road and I see Detroit pulling it together, even if for only one game.  Winner: Lions

Chicago Bears at Carolina Pathers:

On the plus side, the Bears don't have Cutler, but on the plus side, the Bears don't have Cutler.  Carolina has looked too pathetic to even beat this struggling team.  Winner: Bears

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cincinnati Bengals:

Palmer seems to be getting the passing game going.  I like the home team.  Winner: Bengals

Atlanta Falcons at Cleveland Browns:

OK, they got that one win out of their system.  Time to shake it off.  Winner: Falcons

New York Giants at Houston Texans:

As impressive as the defense was last week, they ain't playing Jay Cutler.  This one will be very close, but I think the home team wins again.  Winner:  Texans

New Orleans Saints at Arizona Cardinals:

So, the Cardinals are on the right track by getting rid of Anderson...but still, Max Hall has little chance.  Winner: Saints

Tennessee Titans at Dallas Cowboys:

Man, this is tough.  Pre-season, I assumed the Boys take this one.  But, now Dallas has looked rough all season and VY is in the state of Texas.  This pains me to say, but...  Winner: Cowboys

San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders:

The Chargers have tied it back up...which means they need some drama.  Winner: Raiders

Philadelphia Eagles at San Francisco 49ers:

I am getting sick of picking them and being wrong...which is exactly why the will win.  Winner: 49ers

Minnesota Vikings at New York Jets:

I think the bye week does some good for the old man, but more importantly, I don't think Sanchez can play against a real defense.  Winner: Vikings.
