Buffalo @ Kansas City - Buffalo showed that they can actually play like an NFL team from time to time. Well, their offense at least. But I still won't pick them until they actually DO win a game. Last week may have boosted their morale, or completely deflated them, I'm not sure.
Jacksonville @ Dallas- Dallas is a mess, and every time I pick them they let me down. So what the hell, I'm going with the abysmal Jags.
Miami @ Cincinnati - Miami is a decent team, they came close to beating the Steelers, and may have won if it wasn't for that infamous bad ref call. If Cinci loses this they'll be BELOW THE BROWNS. Holy crap, when is the last time the Browns weren't in last place this far into the season?
Green Bay @ NY Jets - Green Bay won last weekend, but barely, and it was against a gimpy Favre. And if the Vikings were given that touchdown that was ruled not a touchdown, they probably would have won. The Packers seem to be still hurting, Rex Ryan will feast on that. And Rex loves to feast. Or is he still dieting?
Washington @ Detroit - The Skins aren't stacked with talent, but they're finding ways to win games. That's basically what people hoped they'd do after Shanahan went there, so I guess he's coming through.
Denver @ San Francisco - I can't believe I'd ever pick Denver again after that shameful display last week. But they're playing the 49ers, so it's hard not to pick them. If they blow this one, I vow to not pick them again for the rest of the year.
Carolina @ St. Louis - Even though Carolina has a win somehow, they get my pick for #32 on the power rankings. At least the Bills showed something last week, Carolina really has done nothing impressive all season.
Tennessee @ San Diego (US) - "Shoulda, woulda, coulda", that basically sums up the Chargers. They're #1 ranked defense AND offense, but they can't close, they're 2-5. Think about that for a second, how the hell does that even happen? It's obvious they have equal parts talent & problems, just like that team with the blue star.
Seattle @ Oakland - Flip a damn coin with these two. With as inconsistent as these teams are, this could be a blowout...in EITHER direction. I'm picking Seattle simply because they have a solid run defense, and if you stop McFadden you stop the Raiders.
Minnesota @ New England - Minnesota will either have the gimp at QB, or someone else. The fact that they're even considering sticking Favre in there with a ****ed up ankle speaks volumes about how they feel about their backup QBs. The Vikes are screwed.
Tampa Bay @ Arizona - Speaking of having no QB, take a look at Arizona. The Bucs have looked disasterous in some games, but they're still improving at a steady pace.
Pittsburgh @ New Orleans - Superbowl hangover. The Steelers know what that's like, they were there last year. Maybe after the Steelers win this game they'll give N.O. some pointers on how to cope with this hangover.

Houston @ Indianapolis - We all know that defense, especially the secondary, isn't Houston's strong point. But they've looked absolutely abysmal out there this year. The Colts passing game hasn't really clicked as much as it should, and I think that will change after the bye. Injuries will hobble them a little bit (Clark,Addai), but Manning will have enough weapons to tear through that paper thin Houston secondary.
HOU:24 IND:34
