Week 10
Short post this week, I missed Thursday so I'll count it as a loss but I promise you I picked the Colts.
Giants (6-3) at Bengals (3-5)
I like the Bengals at home, but the Giants are too overpowering on the defensive front.
Giants 24 - Bengals 17
Titans (3-6) at Dolphins (4-4)
Chris Johnson looks like he's on a comeback tear, but one man can't beat a whole team, can he?
Titans 20 - Dolphins 23
Lions (4-4) at Vikings (5-4)
I still believe in the Lions and Megatron has to do something at some point doesn't he? Adrian Peterson is a monster though, and I think he carries the Vikings to victory again.
Lions 24 - Vikings 27
Bills (3-5) at Patriots (5-3)
The Bills and Super Mario have been the biggest let down this season in my book, and it's not going to get any easier at Gillette. Brady is going to have a field day, and there's that Ridley fellow too.
Bills 13 - Pats 31
Falcons (8-0) at Saints (3-5)
The Falcons are the best team in the league easily. They literally make 40 yard passes look as easy as hand offs. Every game left for the Saints is a playoff game now though, and I think they play well at home today.
Falcons 31 - Saints 34
Chargers (4-4) at Buccaneers (4-4)
Next to the Lions I think the Chargers have been the second biggest disappointment. Sure they've had injuries, but come on man. The Buccos have one of the toughest running defenses, and the most surprising player in the league running the ball for them. And they're at home? Oh god.
Chargers 16 - Buccos 27
Broncos (5-3) at Panthers (2-6)
The Broncos and Peyton Manning have been really good. The Panthers and Cam Newton have been really bad. There isn't really much more to say here.
Broncos 30 - Panthers 17
Raiders (3-5) at Ravens (6-2)
The Raiders are missing their two starting running backs, and are going to really on third string Taiwan Jones. I love this kid but his first game starting is going to be against the Ravens? Uh oh. Ray Rice should have a huge day against the Raiders defense. Ravens at home for the win.
Raiders 17 - Ravens 24
Jets (3-5) at Seahawks (5-4)
The Jets are going to crash and burn and the Seahawks are going to keep soaring higher. Marshawn Lynch is going to be a monster. Feed the Beast.
Jets 13 - Seahawks 21
Cowboys (3-5) at Eagles (3-5)
It's a must win for both teams. Both coaches and quarterbacks are on very thin ice. I wish they could both lose so each franchise would be gutted. I think Miles Austin is a savior here though, and the Cowboys take one on the road.
Cowboys 21 - Eagles 17
Rams (3-5) at 49ers (6-2)
The Rams have been in a downward spiral for years. Their defense is getting better, but their offense still has a lot of work. The 49ers defense could win this game themselves.
Rams 13 - 49ers 20
Texans (7-1) at Bears (7-1)
Easily the best matchup of the week. You've got Arian Foster vs Matt Forte. Matt Schaub vs Jay Cutler. Andre Johnson vs Brandon Marshall. The list goes on and on. I am a huge believer in Arian Foster being the best running back in the league, but right now I'm also a huge believer in the Cutler to Marshall combination. And the Bears defense? Dear lord.
Texans 21 - Bears 27
Chiefs (1-7) at Steelers (5-3)
The Chiefs and their new Romeo rule should be entertaining. Oh you don't know it? Any player that turns the ball over gets benched. Can they play with just linemen? The Steelers might be banged up, but their offense is firing on all cylinders. For a Monday Night Football game this one should be over quickly.

Week 9 - Monday Night Football
Eagles (3-4) at Saints (2-5)
The Eagles and Michael Vick are going to need a win if they want to keep their head coach. They are going into New Orleans though where the Saints have to be getting fired up under such a horrible start. We've got two teams playing on Sunday night that are severely under-performing and one of them is going to need to actually play a game to get a win. The Eagles are still relying on Vick though, who I think is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league, while the Saints still have one of the best quarterbacks. I have to go with the Saints at home.
Eagles 28 - Saints 35

Week 9 - Sunday Night Football
Cowboys (3-4) at Falcons (7-0)
The Cowboys are bad. Tony Romo is bad. I thought last week that maybe they would finally break out of their clumsy start to the season, but they just continued to falter. Miles Austin and Jason Witten are the only players that they've had consistently played well, but with Romo throwing to them you can never be sure. On the other hand the Falcons have been perfect. Turner, Roddy, and Julio have been perfect while Ryan is just being Matty Ice. The pass defense is incredible and going up against Romo they are going to be taking candy from a baby.

Week 9 - 4 O'Clock Game
Buccaneers (3-4) at Raiders (3-4)
The Buccaneers have one of the best running defenses in the league. Their pass defense isn't great, but they make up for it by making most offenses play very one dimensionally. The Buccos run game has been really good with Doug Martin leading the way, but with the loss of Carl Nicks for the rest of the season his production could see a hit. The Raiders have DMC and some other key players on offense, but I don't know if it's going to be enough to put a dent in the Tampa Bay Defense.
Tampa Bay 24 - Raiders 17
Vikings (5-3) at Seahawks (4-4)
The Vikings and Adrian Peterson are about to go on a rampage in Seattle. The Seahawks might have a great defense, and they are at home, but I think that Adrian Peterson is just too good. The Seahawks are going to be relying on the rookie Russell Wilson again alongside Marshawn Lynch, but going up against a tough Vikings defense could be very dangerous.
Vikings 23 - Seahawks 20
Steelers (4-3) at Giants (6-2)
The Steelers are going to be relying on their passing game to win against the Giants. They are deeply hurt at running back and on the defensive side of the ball. The Giants on the other hand have a a great team on both sides of the ball. They are going to have a good game at home, and beat up on a battered Pittsburgh team.

Week 9 - 1 O'Clock Games
Broncos (4-3) at Bengals (3-4)
Peyton and Denver are looking good through their first seven games. They started a little rusty but they are piecing it all together through the middle of the season. The defense has looked pretty good, but not quite as good as last year. The Bengals have the best young combination in football with Dalton hitting Green down the field. The defense is nothing short of steady, but I still think they are very underrated. I like them at home to start the day off.
Broncos 21 - Bengals 24
Ravens (5-2) at Browns (2-6)
The Ravens and Ray Rice are still one of the best teams in the NFL let alone the AFC. The defense may be missing some key pieces, but Suggs is back and ready to roll. The Browns have Trent Richardson and a young offense starting to gel, but I don't think it's enough to beat an experienced Ravens team.
Ravens 31 - Browns 17
Cardinals (4-4) at Packers (5-3)
The Cardinals are not good right now. Their quarterback situation is ruining what was looking like a promising season. Fitzgerald is good, but they have no one to get the ball to him. The injured running backs aren't helping much either. The Packers may be lacking a running back, and have some injured wide receivers, but they still have Aaron Rodgers and a great defense. They shouldn't have too much to fear, especially playing at home.
Cardinals 16 - Packers 27
Bears (6-1) at Titans (3-5)
The Bears are my favorite team right now. I love Cutler to Marshall, I love Forte and Bush teaming up out of the backfield, and I love the depth of every position on their defense. The Bears are a great team, and they are going to make a long run. The Titans have Chris Johnson but that's pretty much it right now. The rest of the team doesn't have much going for it, and going against a great Bears team it could be pretty rough.
Bears 24 - Titans 13
Dolphins (4-3) at Colts (4-3)
I like the Dolphins half way through the season. I like Bush and I like the young guys that they have leading their team down the stretch. The defense has done well enough to keep the team in games, and they are just going to keep getting better. The Colts have Andrew Luck, and that's been enough to lead them through some tough early season victories. I like the Dolphins more here though, even though they are on the road.
Dolphins 21 - Colts 17
Panthers (1-6) at Redskins (3-5)
The Panthers have looked awful throughout their first seven games, and they've looked even worse on the road. Cam Newton has hit one hell of a sophomore slump. Steve Smith has been the primary target, and Cam is trying to force too much. The Redskins on the other hand have looked really good and Robert Griffin the Third has been great at not forcing anyone into anything. Both defenses haven't been anything to really praise, but the Redskins at home are a lot better than the Panthers on the road.
Panthers 20 - Redskins 31
Lions (3-4) at Jaguars (1-6)
The Lions are going to start picking up. I can feel it.And a week against the Jags is just the way to start it. The Jaguars have nothing. MJD is still out for at least one more game, and without him they have just Jennings and Shorts to lead the way? It's not enough, no matter who they are against. An up and coming Lions team is about to storm the field.
Lions 28 - Jaguars 13
Bills (3-4) at Texans (6-1)
The Bills have looked good in some games, and terrible in others. The two headed attack they've implemented between Jackson and Spiller has been pretty good, but going up against one of the best defenses in the league this could be a bad day to not get someone in a real rhythm. The Texans have a great team. With Arian Foster carrying the rock and leading the team it's going to be tough for the Bills defense to stop the Texans. The Texans shouldn't have trouble finding the endzone on Sunday in a big win.

Week 9 - Thursday Night Football
Chiefs (1-6) at Chargers (3-4)
The Chiefs are back and forth between quarterbacks, and their season has fallen flat because of it. Jamaal Charles is the only saving grace this offense has seeing as Bowe is never going to have a ball thrown to him. The defense can still make a play or two here and there, but for the most part the Chiefs are nothing short of terrible. The Chargers lost to a bad team last week, and couldn't even score a touchdown. This week I think is going to be very different with Ryan Matthews having the trust of his coach again. After racking up 104 yards on the ground last week look for Matthews to hit the endzone at least once. If the Chargers defense can contain Charles then this one should be easy.
