Titans vs. Bills
The Titans have either gotten blown out or barely won so far this season, most recently a win over Pittsburgh that no-one really saw coming. The rank last in rushing offense and are near the bottom of the barrel on defense. Meanwhile the Bills can run the ball but can’t stop anyone from doing it on them. If there is a game that Chris Johnson is to show some life this year, this is the week.
Pick: Titans
Browns vs. Colts
The Browns finally got their first win last week. They’ve been given a rough schedule to start the year yea managed to stay competitive in most of them. This week should be another close game. The Colts can beat Minnesota and Green Bay but then lose to the lowly Jaguars and get destroyed by the Jets. If the Browns can double up Wayne and run the ball efficiently, they’ll get their second win this year.
Pick: Browns
Packers vs. Rams
The Rams coming off a big win against the Cards are looking to keep the train rolling. If they were to play the Packers a few weeks ago, I would say they have a chance. Packers returned to form last week with a big win over the Texans. The Packers should maintain last weeks dominance.
Pick: Packers
Cardinals vs. Vikings
After two straight losses a lot of people are writing off the Cardinals as pretenders. Even though Skelton was named the starter at the begining of the year, I can’t really see him doing too much better than Kolb did while he was QB. The lack of running game plus the worst tackle combination in football will leave Skelton on the ground most the day. If the Vikes can get the ball to Peterson often and early, they should pull out a close one.
Pick: Vikings
Redskins vs. Giants
The Giants had a huge win last week against a team, who some considered to be the best in football. Their defense is on a roll as well as Bradshaw. Nicks should be finally back and the perfect week against a shaky pass defense. RG3 is talented but he can only cary the team so far.
Pick: Giants
Saints vs. Buccaneers
The Saints have done one thing well all year and that is pass the ball. Starting 0-4 isn’t the best scenario but this team is very capable of going on a 10 game win streak at any moment. Although they face a tough rush defense in the Bucs, they should be able to throw the ball up and down the field. With a hot Freeman, and resurgence of Mike Williams after a tough sophomore season, this should be a shootout.
Pick: Saints
Cowboys vs. Panthers
Both of these team aren’t living up to expectations this year. Cam Newton is obviously going through a sophomore slump, which effects Steve Smiths output too. Meanwhile Tony Romo has managed to throw 9 picks already this year. I look for the Cowboys to bounce back after a rough loss last week to the Ravens.
Pick: Cowboys
Ravens vs. Texans
Both these defenses are battling injuries. After seeing the way that Felix Jones could run and down
against the Ravens, just imagine what Foster can do. If the Texans can run well to start the game it’ll help out Schaub be more efficient. Pick: Texans
Jaguars vs. Raiders
Let’s face it, neither one of these teams are going anywhere this year. Of the two teams however, Oakland is the least horrible.
Pick: Raiders
Jets vs. Patriots
The Jets had a big win against the Colts. Tebow might be getting more reps? No Revis, no problem right? Well although the Patriots are only 3-3 so far this year, they are still very much one of the best teams in the AFC. Especially with Hernandez back in the lineup and scoring touchdowns already and Welker consistently involved. The real problem for the Jet is stoping the run in this one though.
Pick: Patriots
Steelers vs. Bengals
This game will be a close one. Both teams are talented, although like most AFC teams this year, their record doesn’t show it. This could be a huge day for Dalton and AJ Green but whether they can keep up with Big Ben and all of those weapons is another story.
Pick: Steelers
Lions vs. Bears
Lions can throw for yards up and down the field, getting in the end-zone hasn’t been as easy at times. The bears however outside of week 2 against the Packers, have won handily each week. This might not be as handily but the Bears are too balanced for the Lions.
Pick: Bears
