San Diego at Detroit
San Diego is doing some serious damage lately. They’re playing like the team that everyone expected them to play at the start of the season. It might be late in the year, but luckily they are playing in one of the most confusing divisions in all of football right now. I think Rivers is finally back on, and Ryan Matthews has gotten a few touchdowns over the last few weeks which must be raising his confidence. The Lions have Suh, they have Stafford, and they have an incredible amount of talent at the wide receiver position. Every week you can expect to see some good stuff from this Lions team, but this week I think it’s not going to be as easy as a come back as it has been in weeks prior for this Detroit team.
San Diego 31 Detroit 27
Philadelphia at Dallas
Philly is another team that is figuring it all out late in the year. The team is finally coming together and playing like they want to win. The defense looked great against the Jets offense last week, and they have one of the best running backs in the game with LeSean “Shady” McCoy. I think if this team can play how they did last week they shouldn’t have any trouble against the Cowboys. Romo is hot lately and he’s been getting touchdown after touchdown, but the absence of a great running back again is going to hurt him down the stretch. DeMarco Murray provided something that Romo hasn’t had in his career – balance. That balance made him a million times better than he has been, and now he’s back to his former self. It’s going to be a team that thinks they need to win through the air, and it’s not going to work.
Philly wins on the road 31-21
San Francisco at Seattle
San Francisco shut down Big Ben and the Steelers. San Francisco hasn’t given up a rushing touchdown all year. San Francisco has Frank Gore. The 49ers look absolutely incredible on the defensive side of the ball this year, maybe one of the best. If they could develop some corners, and stop allowing touchdowns through the air, they’d be a team that could ride their defense through the Super Bowl. It’s their offense that scares me. Sure they have Frank Gore and he is an absolute monster, but what happens when the niners start throwing against a good defense. I’m not saying Seattle’s defense is elite, but last week they looked pretty darn good. If the Seahawks want to win it’s going to be how they won last week, with defensive touchdowns. In the end, Frank Gore is too much.
San Francisco wins 21-17
