- Some say Michael Vick wasn't prepared, including Michael Vick when he entered last weeks game.  Still, Denver is destroying everyone and taking names and the Jets offense is concerning so I'm taking Denver to cover.
- People seem to not be believing in Cleveland who has had impressive wins like coming behind by 27 points.  The Steelers in the meantime have lost to the Bucs.  Sure, Pittsburgh is capable of putting together a solid performance like they did against Carolina but Cleveland should win this game.
- Tennessee is without Jake Locker.  I'm taking Jacksonville here to over but this game is clearly a toss-up.
- Atlanta is at home where they play much better.  The Bears defense has been anemic.  The Falcons should win this one.
- Green Bay is clicking on all cylinders.  Miami is coming off a bye but I'm going to say the Packers continue streaking.
- Detroit is without Calvin Johnson in this one while the Vikings are without Terry Bridgewater and the of course Adrian Peterson.  I can't get behind Christian Ponder so I'm taking the Lions and Golden Tate who should fill in for the void of Calvin Johnson.
- Carolina is coming off a good win against the Bears, while the Bengals struggled against the Patriots.  7 points is a lot of points and I expect Carolina to cover here.
- New England is one of the harder teams to figure out.  Buffalo plays well at home.  Still, I expect Brady to attempt to build upon what he did last week against a good Bengal's defense andd take out the Bills.
- San Diego is a pretty good team while the Raiders have been terrible.  While they are division opponents, I still think the Chargers should cover against the Raiders.
- Baltimore is coming off a loss against the Colts, I expect them to extract revenge on the Bucs.  Baltimore should cover.
- Seattle is a different team at home, but Dallas could conceivably make it close if they run the ball.  Still, I'm not on board with Tony Romo navigating the crowd noise so I'm taking Seattle to cover.
- Washington is struggling although their defense show an OK effort against the Seahawks despite giving up 100 yards rushing to Russell Wilson.  Still, Arizona is a really good team and they should beat Washington here.
- I think the Giants are better than the Eagles who can have dominated division opponents like the Redskins on the road.  The margin should be closer but I look for the Giants to keep on winning.
- San Francisco has been playing well despite turmoil within the lockerrom where people are reportedly tired of Harbaugh.  Still, if they get it together, the 49ers will come up on top of the Rams.
