Quiet week, huh? I almost forgot that there's still actual football to be played this season. In-fact, there's a whole lot of football left to be played, and the slate of games this weekend could provide a fun couple of hours. Lets get to it.
Last week's record: 6-7
Overall record: 78-47
Cincinnati @ Baltimore: Two teams coming off tough, tough losses. In a game of who wants it more, I like the Ravens to stay in the playoff mix with a big time home win.
Detroit @ Chicago: One of the marquee matchups this week, and I don't think it'll disappoint. Jay Cutler is set to return, and I think he leads the Bears to a huge division win, but it's close.
Philadelphia @ Green Bay: Hope Eddie Lacy's hungry tomorrow, because he'll be fed an awful lot with Seneca Wallace manning the ship for a while. Meanwhile, Nick Foles' jersey is next to Peyton Manning's in Canton. Yeah, we all saw that coming. Give me the Eagles.
St. Louis @ Indianapolis: That Rams defense will keep them in a lot of games, but, unfortunately, Kellen Clemons will put them right back out of them. Give me the Colts.
Seattle @ Atlanta: Two months ago this looked like a dandy. Now, it looks like a snoozer. I'll take the Seahawks.
Oakland @ N.Y. Giants: This could be the game that New York offense breaks through, did you see the Oakland defense last week? Yikes. Giants win.
Jacksonville @ Tennessee: Nope, I refuse. Titans.
Buffalo @ Pittsburgh: This one could be fun to watch, especially with the return of E.J. Manual. The kid could have a big day against an awful Pittsburgh defense, but still, I like the Steelers at home.
Carolina @ San Francisco: How about those Panthers, huh? I liked them before the season started, and I really like them now. However, going on the road against a San Francisco team off a bye will be a tall order, even for superman. Give me the 49ers in a good one.
Houston @ Arizona: Case!!! The kid went out last week, torched the Indianapolis secondary, and reminded everyone that Andre Johnson is still a pretty good receiver. He'll struggle some this week against a strong Arizona defense, but my gut tells me he'll pull it out. Give me the Texans.
Denver @ San Diego: UPSET ALERT. Yes, Denver is coming off a bye. And yes, they still have Peyton Manning. But something just tells me that Philip Rivers and that San Diego offense wants this one more. I'll take the Chargers in a high scoring affair.
Dallas @ New Orleans: Tony Romo and the Cowboys went into the Superdome a couple years ago and defeated the then unbeaten Saints. I don't see them doing that here, especially with New Orleans coming off an ugly, ugly loss. Give me the Saints.
Alright, that'll do it for tonight. Check back tomorrow for any updates on the Miami Dolphins (hopefully only football related) as they get ready for a primetime battle against the winless Buccaneers.
And, as always, come back Monday for pre-game coverage, my prediction, and, of course, the live blog of the game.
Until then
GO FINS
