Houston at Jacksonville - Leinart gets the start and has the fate of the Texans of 2011 right in his hands. With Vince Young back in the NFL picture, it's only fitting to see Lienart back givin their history. At the end of the day, Houston can beat you so many more ways than a team like Jacksonville can and that's why I think Leinart starts off in the win column. Houston will simply manage the game and let Foster and Johnson determine things. Texans by 6. 16-10.
Buffalo at NY Jets - The Jets need to wash that STANK out of their mouth and that has Tim Tebow written all over it. With the plummeting Bills coming into town, the Jets need to pounce early and often to get back to being respected atleast for one week. Jets by 10. 17-7.
Cleveland at Cincinnati - With the way both teams are playing, Cleveland is primed for an upset but they are as stale as any football team at the moment. They seriously have no life while Cincy will look to keep it interesting for a big showdown next week in Pittsburgh. Bengals by 7. 21-14
Minnesota at Atlanta - I picked the Vikings over the Raiders last week as an upset all because of Adrian Peterson. He ended up getting hurt and is axed for this one. Matt Ice will throw for 3 TD's. Falcons by 21. 31-10
Arizona at St. Louis - Larry Fitzgerald. Cardinals by 10. 24-14
Carolina at Indianapolis - Cam Newton remains a pleasant surprise. Don't pay attention to the "L's" on the Panthers schedule. They are a tough team who battles and battles hard. They can put up some points and show promise. Not so much for the Colts. They are as dead as their corpse of a head coach. Panthers by 14. 30-17
Tampa Bay at Tennessee - One of the tough picks for me this week. Tennessee at home is enticing but I like Josh Freeman and Blunt for being big boys who can knock you around and remain in the game. Physical team will win this one and I think Tampa Bay out muscles the Titans. Tampa Bay by 3. 23-20
Chicago at Oakland - Oakland is a joker at this point in time. The AFC West plays in their hands and Palmer is getting more comfortable by the week. With the Bears down a man at QB, this is usually the game to where they go all in and ask for the defense to win it. On the road, in the Black Hole though, it'll be tough for a new QB to manage the game. Raiders by 10. 23-13
Washington at Seattle - Washington hung in there against Dallas and showed signs of good football only when Grossman is in the lineup. Washington by 7. 28-21
Denver at San Diego - Please let this end. Chargers by 17. 34-17
New England at Philadelphia - I flip flopped this game many times. I really don't like this matchup against New England whatsoever. On paper, I don't see them winning too many battles and matchups. Who's going to cover Desean Jackson? Not sure if New England is capable of putting anybody on him and also worrying about McCoy in the backfield to contend with. It's going to have to take a Eagles meltdown of Palko-like proportions, mainly from Young to slow the Eagles offense down. Young just has that knack to win and can make big plays while the Philly defense is starting to show up. Eagles by 6. 27-21
Pittsburgh at Kansas City - I've seen this script before. Every time the Steelers are supposed to crush a team, they get in their own way. They should take care of business quite easily, but Arrowhead will be jacked up as always and make it tough for the Steelers in Prime Time, just like Indianapolis did. The Steelers always get everyone's best effort. Steelers by 14. 28-14
NY Giants at New Orleans - The Giants put on a snoozer last week. So bad that all that "elite" Eli talk seemed way too premature. The Saints are poised to contend in the overall NFC picture while the Giants are on their annual slide late in the season. Saints by 8. 28-20
