IND @ BAL

Eddie

Colts

Fred

 Colts

The new colts meet the old colts.  Colts should come out of Baltimore with a win.

 The Colts have won all of ‘em thus far

  WAS @ DAL  

Eddie

Cowboys

Fred

Cowboys

Redskins got a W last week..  so don’t expect one this week against the big D.     

 Redskins/Cowboys games are always close ones…gotta go with the home team on this one.

Lions

 Lions

 If it wasn’t for fantasy football, I don’t think anyone would care about this one.   The Browns defense has looked respectable, but the Lions are just a better team as a whole (and at home).

 SF @ GB

Eddie

Packers

Fred

 Packers

  Expectations at the beginning were high for both of these teams and now that we are midway through the season I can easily say they have both failed to meet those expectations.

 As I say every week, the Niners keep games close.  But, in Lambeau, the Packers HAVE TO HAVE this win to stay in the playoff hunt.

BUF @ JAC

Eddie

 Jaguars

Fred

 Jaguars

 MJD and the Jaguars are playing good.  I don’t expect or foresee them losing to the Bills.  Should be a close game though.

 Ok…I’m on board with these Jaguars now.  They’re also at home playing against a team that just fired their head coach.

PIT @ KC  

Eddie

Steelers

Fred

Steelers

Steelers should come out easily with a win but I’ve seen stranger things happen.

 To make up for last week’s close loss to the Bengals, this will be an utter beat down!

 SEA @ MIN

Vikings

 Vikings

Minnesota should run away with this one cause of the man child.

 With Forsett as the starting RB, the Seahawks could surprise the Vikings.  But I just can’t see them beating them in Minnesota.

ATL @ NYG

Giants

Fred

 Giants

With an injured Turner the Falcons are a different team.  Same thing can be said about Eli and the Giants.  Gotta go with the home team.   

 No Turner, no way

The Bucs don’t stand a chance against the high flying offense of the Saints

 Undefeated Saints…nuff said

   ARI @ STL

Cardinals

Fred

 Cardinals

The Rams have been playing tough so I’m not certain enough to say that the Cardinals will run away with this one.

 Which Rams WR is going to get hurt this week?  Beanie Wells and the rest of the Cardinals offense are too much for the Rams.

SD @ DEN

Eddie

Chargers

Fred

 Chargers

Denver’s defense will need to win this one because of the issue at QB for the Broncs.  I’m not so sure they’ll be able to contain Rivers and the Chargers.

 No Orton, no way

    CIN @ OAK

Eddie

Bengals

Fred

 Bengals

With the way Cincinnati has been playing this should be an easy win for them.     

  Even without Benson, the Bengals should destroy the “Gradkowski-led” Raiders

NYJ @ NE

Patriots

Fred

Patriots

I like the Pats for this one.     The Jets have completely fallen apart.

Never go against Belichick/Brady at home

PHI @ CHI

Eddie

Eagles

Fred

Eagles

I just don’t have any confidence in the Bears anymore even if they are in Soldier Field.

Culter can’t throw 5 picks in back-to-back games, right?  He’s single-handedly losing games for the Bears, so as long as he’s the starting QB playing against tough teams like the Eagles, I’m picking against the Bears.

TEN @ HOU     

Eddie

Texans

Fred

Texans

The old Oilers meet the new Oilers…  and Vince Young gets a chance to prove himself in front of a national crowd.  I predict he doesn’t handle the pressure well and Houston gets the win.  

 Texans are off a bye week at home…and Slaton is the starting RB again on MNF.  This should be a great game!
