Gotta have a big bounce back week, lets do it.
Last week's record: 7-8
Overall record: 110-70-1
St. Louis @ Buffalo: Both teams are still "mathematically" in the playoff picture, but lets be honest, these guys are playing for pride the rest of the way. I like what Jeff Fisher has done in St. Louis, but I don't go against Buffalo at home in December. Give me the Bills.
Baltimore @ Washington: RGIII had a big time win on Monday to vault the Skins back into the playoff picture, while Joe Flacco got outplayed by Charlie Batch. These are to teams going in opposite directions, and I like that to continue this week with another big Redskins win.
Philadelphia @ Tampa Bay: Andy Reid named Nick Foles the starter for the remainder of the season earlier this week. Unfortunately, I think it's to late for the embattled head coach. As for this game, I'm going Buccaneers all the way.
San Diego @ Pittsburgh: Even if Big Ben wasn't playing I'd probably still pick the Steelers. The fact is, the Chargers just aren't very good. Is the Norv Turner era FINALLY done? Regardless, I'm going Pittsburgh.
Chicago @ Minnesota: If I were to ask you where the Bears rank offensively, I bet you wouldn't say 30th, would you? I'm still not sold on this Chicago team, and with the Vikings at home this week I like them for the upset.
Atlanta @ Carolina: Weren't the Panthers supposed to be playoff bound this year? I can tell you who is, the Falcons, and that's who I'm taking tomorrow.
Dallas @ Cincinnati: This is going to be a fun one from Cincinnati, as both teams are in the thick of the playoff race, and both are coming off big time wins. I think the Bengals are hot at the right time, and I'll take them in a signature win at home.
Kansas City @ Cleveland: Brady Quinn put on a heroic performance a week ago, and I like that to continue in his return to Cleveland. Give me the Chiefs.
Tennessee @ Indianapolis: Boy, this Andrew Luck kid is special. Don't ask me to go against him, especially at home. I'm going Colts all the way.
N.Y. Jets@ Jacksonville: Well, that was a short lived benching for Mark Sanchez, huh? In another installment of the battle of mediocre QB's, I'll take Henne over Sanchez. Give me the Jags.
New Orleans @ N.Y. Giants: Drew Brees is coming off a FIVE interception performance last Thursday night in Atlanta, while Eli and the Giants are fighting for their playoff lives after a road loss in Washington. I like New York to bounce back this week, and get back on course for January football. If they don't win tomorrow, they could be in serious trouble.
Arizona @ Seattle: The Cardinals haven't won a football game in two months. Enough said. Give me the Seahawks.
Detroit @ Green Bay: Intriguing matchup here on Sunday night, and even though the Lions have drastically underachieved this year, I still like them to give the Packers a run for their money. However, Aaron Rodgers, as usual, finds a way to get it done at home. Give me Green Bay.
Houston @ New England: Easily the game of the week on Monday night, and quite possibly an AFC Championship preview, no? Tom Brady did not look good last week, and will have his hands full again for this one, as the Texans defense ranks 6th in the league. However, something tells me Brady and Belichick get it done at home, but it's cloooooooose. Give me the Pats.
Check back tomorrow for all your Miami Dolphins pre-game coverage, including my prediction, as the Fins and Niners kick things off at 4:05 from Candlestick park.
And, as always, follow the live, quarter by quarter blog, of the game.
Until then, Go Fins!
