Chicago at Denver
Chicago is very beat up. They are without their starting quarterback which definitely hurts their team, but more importantly they are without the best player on their team in Matt Forte. A Bears team without Forte is going to really need to step up defensively to make sure the other team is not putting up points to beat the little amount that they are going to accrue. The Denver Broncos defense is going to do what they have done for the past month – make sure that they don’t give up too many points. The Broncos have relied on their defense to give Tebow the ball in the last drive of the game just losing by enough points where they can still win with one drive. That’s what is going to happen again today, and everyone will credit Tebow for the work that the Broncos defense did.
Broncos defense wins 16-13
San Francisco at Arizona
San Francisco has been a great team this season, despite a couple of small hiccups that have lead to a just a couple of losses. San Fran knows what it takes to win, and they have done everything right the majority of the time. Their defense has done very well at stopping plays, and Alex Smith and Gore have done well getting the points that they need. Arizona has a great running back in Beanie Wells and they walked away with a long Stephens-Howling reception touchdown, but they have not been consistent throughout the season. I don’t trust putting my faith in them this game based on a couple of great game ending plays. IF Arizona can get the game to overtime I’d go with them, but I don’t think it will get that far.
San Fran wins 17-10
Buffalo at San Diego
Buffalo is another one of those teams that was great early in the year, but this much later they haven’t been doing that well. They still have Fitzpatrick and they still have a lot of good receivers that can spread the field, but after that their running game has hit a huge speed bump and their overall offense hasn’t been nearly as good. The takeaways haven’t been there like they were before, and the defense isn’t putting their team in position to win. San Diego looks like they hit a huge spark last week and I think that it actually might carry over here. I think Rivers is going to have a decent game and throw for a few scores in this one. Ryan Matthews is going to balance out the attack and the Chargers are going to look good winning at home.
San Diego wins 27-20
Oakland at Green Bay
Oakland is without McFadden again, and they are still being led by Carson Palmer. Palmer seems to have fixed a few things in his game from when he first back this season, but he’s still not perfect. With Michael Bush running the ball instead of McFadden the team isn’t as good as they could be, but they definitely aren’t bad either. Green Bay is a team that it doesn’t matter who you put in front of them, they are going to put up big points, and they are going to rip apart your secondary. I think Green Bay is not going to take their foot off of the gas pedal today, and they continue to motor their way on to 13-0.
Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers do it again 35-27
