The Colts are still undefeated and playing better than ever. The Jaguars always seem to have their number though. Between them and the Chargers, they hold something like 4 of their last 7 losses, which is interesting.
Colts win, 31-21.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Colts will roll over the Jaguars in a must win game for Jacksonville. Unfortunately for the Jags, the Colts will not rest their players, which will give teams like Miami a big advantage if the Jags lose
Colts win, 24-14
POROPAT
The Saints are on fire. Its going to be hard to see anyone stopping them. The Cowboys are playing well, but they can't find a way to put away the big game. No reason to think this will be any different.
Saints win, 20-13.
___________________________
RHOADES
This will be one of two game, either an absolute blowout of the Cowboys, or a shocking 3 point win by Dallas, unless Nick Folk misses another 100 field goals. Dallas needs this game badly and will hope to find some way to beat the unbeatable.
Saints win, 34-31

The Bears look pretty miserable right now. The Ravens need to keep winning in order to make the playoffs, so they will make a serious push during this game. Their run game should be getting better, and their pass defense should look great against mr. Pick Cutler.
Ravens win, 24-21.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Ravens defense will make Cutler look lost all game, while their offense should be able to put up some points against the Bears defense.
Ravens win, 24-10

The Patriots are now 1-5 on the road this year, their only road win coming from their trip to england, when the Bucs had to travel as well. The Bills have been up and down all season but have looked better as of late. They also dominated the Pats the first time they met and that could spell trouble.
Bills win, 21-13.
___________________________

The Patriots cannot win on the road, unless its in London, and will continue to struggle with an injured Tom Brady and in a stadium that is not there own.
Bills win, 27-24.

The Cardinals defense have been on fire, and their offense hasn't looked to shaby either. This would be a devestating loss if they did lose this game. A win in this game clinches the division title, a lose keeps them worried. The Cardinals are 4-1 on the road.
Cardinals win, 34-20.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Cardinals will look to get back on track after looking bad against the 49ers last week, who swept them this year. This is a great game to get back on track with.
Cardinals win, 37-10.

The Texans won a huge statement game last week, destroying the Seahawks. They need to keep winning to have a chance. And when you need to win, the Rams is a good opponent to have to face.
Texans win, 31-27.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Texans should be able to get back to .500 football when they play the Rams, who, for another year, are terrible. Watch for a big game by Andre Johnson.
Texans win, 21-3.

With Vince young still questionable its a very tough call... Vince Young will most likely play, and you can mark CJ for 100+ yards right now. The Dolphins should expose the Titans defense, but Chris Johnson is just so unstoppable, it will be tough to be these Titans... but I think they do it.
Dolphins win, 28-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Dolphins need to win as many as possible of the next 3 games to make the playoffs. That starts this week as they need to have some answer for Chris Johnson. Vince Young might not play, which would be huge for the Dolphins.
Dolphins win, 24-17.

Are the Browns really better than the Steelers? Lets face it folks, the Steelers are about as good as last year's Lions team right now. The Chiefs are the better team, and will prove so.
Bills win, 30-22.

The Chiefs are bad. The Browns are bad. Ill take the home team
Chiefs win, 17-10.

Matt Ryan and Michael Turner are still questionable. They are playing well regardless, at least they did last week. But honestly, who hasn't played well against the Saints? oddly enough... I think the Falcons are the better team, but their are in a slump that is ruining their season, and it will continue. Mark Sanchez ill make mistakes, but not enough.
Jets win, 24-14.
___________________________
RHOADES
Mark Sanchez is expected to play in a big game for the Jets playoff chances, while the Falcons need to win to stay alive in the NFC playoff picture. The Jets should be able to run the ball and control the clock and win the game.
Jets win, 28-17.

The 49ers are still alive in the Playoff race. With a win this week, next week, and the week after; and a Cardinals loss every week, they can even win the division! Im sure they realize this isn't going to happen, but with the chance there, i expect them to play hard, really hard. The Eagles are an up and down team, but their upside is way too good to bet against.
Eagles win, 30-24.
___________________________
RHOADES
Both these teams looked real good last week, but the Eagles have the more talent and the drive to hold Dallas and New York off, while the 49ers are struggling to get in the playoffs.
Eagles win, 28-14.

The Raiders are officially starting QB Charlie Frye, who was just signed this week, over injured Gradkowski AND their multi-million dollar "franchise" QB Jamarcus Russell. That spells doom. The Broncos should dominate.
Broncos win, 31-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Broncos have looked good recently, while the Raiders have looked terrible, and their starting quarterback is hurt, stay away from the Raiders.
Broncos win, 35-13.

The Bengals are playing great football this year. They started the year playing for their DC, Don Zimmer, whos wife passed away in the preseason. But now they are playing for a fallen teamate of their own, WR Chris Henry who died this week after suffereing serious injuried from falling out of moving pickup truck. Its hard to tell how this team will respond with a death this close to the team. The Chargers are on fire, and with the uncertainty in the Cincinatti, Im going to have to take the Chargers.
Chargers win, 42-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
This game could decide the 2nd seed in the AFC. The Chargers have more talent than the Bengals, who will also be playing with a heavy heart due to the unfortunate death of Chris Henry. The Chargers should be able to take care of business.
Chargers win, 24-17.

The Packers are playing great right now, much better than I predicted during the preseason. The Steelers look down right miserable without Troy Palamulo. Losing their last 6 straight game, including games to the Chiefs, Raiders and most recently the Browns. I couldn't pick the Steelers in this game even if i tried.
Packers win, 31-20.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Steelers are n the Middle of a huge slide, losing to the Raiders, chiefs, and Browns among others.The Packers are one of the hottest teams in the league and should be able to put the fork in the Steelers playoff chances.
Packers win, 35-17

Bucs are better than 1-11.... but unfortunatly so are the Seahawks... Sorry Bucs fans...
Seahawks win, 28-24.

The Seahawks should be able to pass all over the Bucs secondary and get the easy win at home.
Seahawks win, 28-17.
POROPAT
The Vikings are on fire, they might be playing without WRs Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin, but on the other hand both might play fine. The Panthers are not officially eliminated from the playoffs, but because of their loss with the Dallas Cowboys, only a 3-way tie between then the Cowboys and the Giants can save them now...
Vikings win, 31-24.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Vikings are going to run the ball on the Panthers and pass equally as well, the Vikings should win this game by a large margin
Vikings win, 27-10.
POROPAT
The Giants are a coin flip team, you never know what your going to get. But this week, they are going to get the number 1 pass defense in the NFL right now, and pretty good offense at the moment. The Giants are going to need some serious help, its a different team then who they played week one... And i love the Redskins in this game. Consider this, my Upset Special
Redskins win, 28-24.
___________________________
RHOADES
This game will be close and might come down to the last drive. The Giants will need to rely on their run game because of the Redskins #1 rated pass defense.
Giants win, 27-21.
