Washington at Buffalo
Although Beck and the Redskins put up a pretty good against Cam Newton’s Panthers they couldn’t pull it of. The Redskins are without their best wide-receiver and arguably best offensive player Santana Moss, and they’re going to have to rely on their running game and defense to make some big plays against this great Buffalo secondary.
Buffalo isn’t going to come off of a bye week and disappoint. With the attack as potent as it’s been in years the Redskins are going to have their hands full. Fred Jackson is going to run all over the middle of the Washington defense and I won’t be surprised to see a couple of scores from him. Fitzpatrick just signed a new contract and is going to come out on fire. Look out Washington, you’re in for some trouble.
Fred Jackson and the Buffalo Bills are going to come out hot against the Redskins defense, and I think its going to end pretty early.
Buffalo takes this one at home 34-14
Detroit at Denver
Detroit is on a two game skid, and this could be the game that they need to break out of it before it gets out of control. Unfortunately Jahvid Best is still out with concussion like symptoms, but luckily Matthew Stafford will be able to make the start. Calvin Johnson is just as good as he’s been all season, making a hell of a catch and run after a double play action fake last week. If Stafford and Calvin can play pitch and catch all day over this Bronco’s secondary then they’ll break the losing streak early.
The Broncos enjoyed some Tebow Time for the last four minutes of the game last week, going into that portion of the game though Tebow had hardly done anything. For the Broncos to beat this great Lions team they’re going to need Tebow to play the whole game as well as he played those last two drives. After two touchdown on 80 yard and 50 yard drives Tebow showed why he is deserving of a start. He may not be the best player in the league, or the most athletic, but ever since college he’s been a winner. The Lions are going to be a real test though.
I don’t think Tebow is going to be enough to beat the Lions. He’s going to need a lot of help from a lot of people, primarily the majority of the Broncos defense. However, if Calvin can keep catching the ball he’s going to secure a good game for Detroit.
The Lions win one on the road 28-17
Cleveland at San Francisco
Cleveland looked terrible last week. Sure they got a win, but it was maybe the slowest game of the day. Peyton Hillis is still questionable, and if he isn’t playing in this one than Cleveland is going to do even worse than they would do if Peyton does play. Hillis is the best offensive player that Cleveland has, and without him against a good team they don’t stand a chance.
San Francisco is having an incredible year. Frank Gore has been absolutely beastly, and Alex Smith has been one of the most surprising players of the year. Vernon Davis is playing well, and the defense has been one of the better defenses in the league. All of the components are there for the 49ers to do well, and if they keep it going in the same way that it has been going they are going to easily win the NFC East, and probably pretty easily.
Frank Gore, Alex Smith, Vernon Davis, Patrick Willis. All different aspects that are going to complete the winning package in San Fran.
49ers win 31-13
Cincinnati at Seattle
Cincinnati has a defense that can hold some of the better offenses to little points, going up against an offense that really isn’t anything special the defense should have a pretty good game. The Bengals offense is starting to work its way together too. Andy Dalton and AJ Green are doing some pretty great things for how young their relationship is, and this week they should put on a pretty great show through the air.
Seattle was absolutely terrible last week. With Travaris Jackson still listed as questionable it, so isn’t the Seahawks offense – questionable at best. There’s nothing about the Seahawks that shows me any promise this year, nothing that shows me any promise this game. The team doesn’t have any strong weapons on their offense, and their defense is equally is weak.
The Bengals should have a great game through the air, and they should be able to shut down mostly everything that Seattle throws at them.
Bengals win one pretty easily 27-13
New England at Pittsburgh
The Patriots continue to show how great that they are week in and week out. New England’s offense thrives out of short passes and quick outs, going up against a defense that likes to get to the quarterback quickly and aggressively Tom Brady is going to be looking for Welker, Hernandez, and Gronkowski often. The crazy thing about that? Those are Tom Brady’s favorite weapons anyways. The Pats defense rush defense and pass defense are beginning to become very underrated, and are probably going to do well or the remainder of the season – but we’ll find this out Sunday afternoon.
Pittsburgh’s offense has been coming together a little bit after coming out of the gate this year very slowly. Last year they had the longest play in Steelers history when Big Ben threw a 95 yard pass to Mike Wallace. That offense has gone against some pretty soft teams so far this season though, looking at their schedule they’ve lost to good teams, while they’ve only beaten some of the worst.
The Steelers record against teams above .500 this year hasn’t been good at all this season. On top of that Bill’s Patriots are coming off of a bye week, and Coach Bill has is one of the best coaches at picking apart a defense and exploiting their weaknesses, give him two weeks to watch film and good luck.
Patriots win one on the road 35-17
