I apologize for delayed post. next week's post will be up late wednesday night, probably around 9:30-10:00pm


Edit: added another "differ" game i didn't notice in the original edit
___________________________________________________________
CBS
 VS 
(5-2-0)                                 (2-5-0)




POROPAT
The Jets got shutout last week but will have a chance to show their stuff against a weak but improving Lions defense.
Jets win, 34-21.

RHOADES
The Jets will rebound nicely from a pathetic shut out vs the Packers. They will win easily
Jets win, 24-14

 VS 




(5-2-0)                                 (5-2-0)
POROPAT
The Bucs are a hot team this year and are only getting better. The Emergence of LaGarrette Blount has helped Josh Freeman and the Bucs offense (not to mention they gave me enough fantasy points to overtake Alex in our league). The Falcons will put up a good fight though, many of them believe they are one of the best teams in the NFC.
Falcons win, 24-17.

RHOADES
This is the battle for the NFC South so far this year. While both teams are evenly matched, ill take the Falcons at home.
Falcons win, 21-10

VS 
(3-5-0)                              (4-3-0)
POROPAT
This might be the game of the week, but could turn out to be a blow out either way. The Chargers look like they are starting to get things together, and the Texans look like they are falling apart. With Andre Johnson's status uncertain for this game, I'm going with the Chargers.
Chargers win, 25-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Chargers will go back to being terrible against the Texans. Both of these teams can be classified as underachievers.
 
Texans win, 24-21
___________________________________________________________
CBS
  VS
(5-3-0)                               (1-6-0)
POROPAT
The Saints put up a show last week against the Steelers. I still think they are a tad overrated, but no matter they should destroy the Panthers.
Saints win, 20-14.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Saints will win, if they don't....they will be taken down a few notches on my playoff bracket
Saints win, 30-21.

CBS
VS
(4-3-0)                               (0-6-0)
POROPAT
The Bills made a splash and got Shaun Merrimam off waivers this week. He may not make an immediate impact in this game, but his presence shows that they are seriously trying to make this team better. "Better" being the key word, because where they are now, they can't get any worse.
Bears win, 31-24.

*UPSET SPECIAL*
The Bills will win this week after being very close the last 2 weeks in Overtime.
Bills win, 16-13.

FOX
 VS 
(3-4-0)                                 (2-5-0)
POROPAT
The Vikings are in trouble with their record, and they are certainly not a good team this year. The waiving of Moss shows how insane the coaching staff is for this team and its lack of confidence and strength as a team. However, when you have Adrian Peterson (the good one) and your playing the Cardinals run defense. You should never lose.
Vikings win, 21-17.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Vikings are an absolute mess, possibly even worse than Dallas, and just waived Randy Moss 3 weeks after trading a 3rd rounder for him. Pathetic. However AP should save them this game
Vikings win, 21-7.

FOX
 VS 
(6-1-0)                              (2-5-0)
POROPAT
The Browns are due for another upset (as are the Bills) but this isn't my upset special. The Pats are too well coached of a team to fall into a trap. The Pats will win.
Pats win, 27-10.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Patriots are my 2nd rated team in the AFC (Steelers still #1) and will roll over the Browns this week
Pats win, 24-13.
___________________________________________________________
CBS
 VS 
(4-3-0)                                 (5-2-0)
POROPAT
The Fins are 3-0 on the road, but haven't played a team like the Ravens yet. They came out of a close one last week using their impressive defense. If that defense shows up this game, it could be a close one but I expect the Ravens to come out on top.
Ravens win, 17-14.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Dolphins will go 4-0 on the road against the Ravens. Ravens haven't done too much this year, and will lose this game
Dolphins win, 7-3.

FOX
*UPSET SPECIAL*
 VS
(5-2-0)                         (4-3-0)
POROPAT
I know, I know, the giants are on fire. However, they go on hot and cold streaks and after a bye week the Giants are 6-14 all-time. Another thing to consider is that the Seahawks are playing at home and they haven't lost a game at home yet and have an outstanding all-time record at home (they are the home of the original 12th man). For these reasons, I believe the Seahawks will beat the New York Giants this week and this is my upset special.
Seahawks win, 14-10.

RHOADES
The Giants will win this game. I can't think of anything else to say.
Giants win, 28-17.

 VS 
(5-2-0)                           (4-3-0)
POROPAT
This is another great game. The Colts are hurt but are still swinging hard. Michael Vick is coming back for the Eagles. This will be a close game and should be interesting to see how well Vick does coming off of injury. Should be a great game, but the Colts are undefeated outside the division.
Colts win, 35-20.
___________________________
RHOADES
Give me the Colts every week, sorry NFL
Colts win, 29-14.
___________________________________________________________
FOX
 VS
(5-2-0)                          (4-4-0)
POROPAT
The Chiefs are the better team in this game. The Raiders may be showing up as of late and actually have a pretty decent record but will not win this game. The Chiefs are still underrated as a team and they will continue to prove those people wrong.
Chiefs win, 21-19.
___________________________
RHOADES
This is a very intriguing game for the top spot in the AFC West, who would have thought. Ive liked what ive seen from the Chiefs and Raiders lately, but ill give the edge to Matt Cassel and the Chiefs.
Chiefs win, 35-21.

VS
(1-6-0)                                (4-4-0)
POROPAT




The Cowboys made a splash this week by doing absolutely nothing. That's right theres no coaching change yet but the team doesn't really seem to keep wanting to play under Phillips. The Packers may have been able to beat the Boys under normal circumstances, but now they will just dismantle them instead.
Packers win, 31-14.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Cowboys are the worst team in the league. The Packers should win by a lot if last week was a preview.
Packers win, 35-17

ESPN
 VS 
(5-3-0)                              (2-5-0)
POROPAT
The Steelers are still my wildcard pick for the AFC and may even take the division. In order to do that they will have to beat the Bengals, and they will. 
Steelers win, 34-20.
___________________________
RHOADES
The Steelers will win on the road in Cincy, only hope that the Bengals have is to open up the passing game and block the Steelers blitz
Steelers win, 24-17.
