GAME OF THE WEEK - New Orleans Saints (5-0) at New England Patriots (4-1), NE by 2.5 - Those Saints sure do know how to ball up. This week we get the best of both worlds with Tom Brady against Drew Brees. I'm going to go ahead and pick the Saints over the Patriots because I simply feel like the Patriots won't be able to stop the Saints offense. I feel like that Cincy game last week exposed some holes. Saints - 34, Patriots - 27
UPSET! Oakland Raiders (2-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (5-0), KC by 9 - Regardless of what you think about the Raiders, they aren't as bad as people make them out to be. Pyror will make some plays here and there but Jamaal Charles will be too much to handle for that Raiders defense. Raiders - 14 Chiefs - 24
Philadelphia Eagles (2-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4), PHI by 1.5 - New quarterback for the Bucs but he is going against the worst secondary in the NFL. However, despite Michael Vick being out, I see Eagles easily taking this one in a very sloppy game. Eagles - 27 Bucs - 14
Green Bay Packers (2-2) at Baltimore Ravens (3-2), GB by 3 - The all mighty Aaron Rodgers will dance around that Ravens secondary. I'm confident he'll throw at least 4 passing TDs. Packers - 35 Ravens - 10
Detroit Lions (3-2) at Cleveland Browns (3-2), DET by 2.5 - I see this game being another sloppy one. I think with Calvin Johnson back in the lineup, it's going to open up the lanes for Reggie Bush that weren't there last week. Lions - 17 Browns - 10
Carolina Panthers (1-3) at Minnesota Vikings (1-3), MIN by 2.5 - The Panthers look really, really bad. I don't see them stopping AP. Vikings 24 Panthers - 21
St. Louis Rams (2-3) at Houston Texans (2-3), HOU by 7.5 - I would've picked the Rams to upset the Texans but too bad they're playing at home. Can't see the Texans losing this one. Texans - 34 Rams - 21
Pittsburgh Steelers (0-4) at New York Jets (3-2), NYJ by 2.5 - Geno Smith looks pretty good out there. However I think Big Ben beats the Jets this week. Steelers - 20 Jets - 13 -
UPSET Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) at Buffalo Bills (2-3), CIN by 7.5 - I'm going to predict that the Bengals take this one. They'll have an answer for Fred Jackson who has been the centerpiece of the Bills offense. Bengals - 21 Bills - 10
Tennessee Titans (3-2) at Seattle Seahawks (4-1), SEA by 13.5 - Ryan Fitz at QB? Titans playing on the road in Seattle? Seattle angry about the loss from last week? Yeah, this isn't going to be pretty. Seahawks - 27 Titans - 7
Jacksonville Jaguars (0-5) at Denver Broncos (5-0), DEN by 27.5 - I think the Jags can get in one touchdown in this game, LOL. Jaguars 10 - Broncos 48
Arizona Cardinals (3-2) at San Francisco 49ers (3-2), SF by 11 - 49ers looked really good against the Texans. However I expect that Cardinals defense to play pretty good. Should be a low scoring win for the 49ers. 49ers - 17 Cardinals - 10
Washington Redskins (1-3) at Dallas Cowboy s (2-3), DAL by 5.5 - Dallas is too talented on the offensive side of the ball, the Redskins on the defensive side are really amateur. That CB the Redskins drafted in the second round will get destroyed out there trying to guard Dez Bryant. Redskins 17 - Cowboys 35
Indianapolis Colts (4-1) at San Diego Chargers (2-3), IND by 1.5 - This will be a cliff hanger with the Colts defense coming up on top. The Colts really feel like they can do anything and I think they need this win before they have to visit the Broncos at home. Colts- 30 - Chargers 27
