Colts vs Jaguars - The Colts are in position to make the playoffs but cant afford a lose to a bad Jaguars team.  The Colts are a different team on the road and Andrew Luck needs to put together a better game as he has thrown only 2 touchdowns and 8 interceptions on the road.  The Jaguars are still without Maurice Jones-Drew so they will need Rashad Jennings to put together a good game if they are gonna pick up their 2nd win of the season.  

Pick - Jaguars

Oakland vs Baltimore - The Raiders were torn apart on the ground by Doug Martin so you can bet Ray Rice will be licking his chops to get some touches.  The Raiders are not a good road team and coming across 3 time zones wont bold well for them.  McFadden is questionable and they might be down to their third string running back.  The Ravens shouldn't have any issues here.

Pick - Ravens

Giants vs Bengals - The Giants are coming off of a tough defeat to the Steeler and need to get the offense back on track after two consecutive weeks with Eli Manning not throwing any touchdown passes.  The Bengals are in the midst of a 4 game losing streak and in danger of falling out of the playoff race.  AJ Green is as good as it gets at wide receiver but they arent getting stop when they need them and the rushing game has been non existent. I think the Giants bounce back this week.

Pick - Giants

Titans at Dolphins - Two teams that have been hot and cold this year get together in Miami.  Chris Johnson has gotten his groove back and is now a formidable option for the Titans offense.  The Dolphins let one slip away against Indy last week but are still in the playoff hunt.  Ryan Tannehill has been impressive this year but they need more out of Reggie Bush.

Pick - Dolphins

Lions at Vikings - The Lions have won two straight and seem to be peeking right now. They have some tough games coming up so Matthew Stafford will have to continue to keep his good play up. Two stud receiver one from each team are questionable so it will be interesting to see the health status of Megatron and Percy Harvin.  I think the Lions continue to play well

Pick - Lions

Bills at Patriots - The Patriots are coming off of a bye week and are getting healtier by the week. I dont expect the Bills to pose much of a threat simple because they wont be able to stop the Pats.  Ryan Fitzpatrick will put up solid numbers and CJ Spiller might make a big play or two but nothing to worry about in New England.

Pick - Patriots

Falcons at Saints - The Falcons made it to the half way point unbeaten and now they head to New Orleans where the Saints are trying to make a secnd half run towards the playoffs.  The Falcons have a  potent offense but the Saints are tough at their home field.  I think Drew Brees has a huge game and the Saints pull the upset here.

Pick - Saints

Chargers vs Buccaneers - Philip Rivers is really sturggling right now and there is a lot of talk about Norv Turner losing his job.  If the Chargers dont win I expect a coaching change to be made.  The Bucs are coming off of a 254 yard  4 touchdown performance form their rookie tailback Doug Martin.  Josh Freeman has been playing great football and has some good weapons in Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams.  I like the Bucs to keep the hot streak up and win here.

Pick - Buccaneers

Broncos vs Panthers - Cam Newton got the better of RGIII and picked up the Panthers 2nd win of the season last week.  The Broncos are coming in as the calss of the AFC West and have a real chance to put a strangelhold on the division.  I think this will be closer than expected but I like Denver to come to Carolina and win.

Pick - Broncos

Jets at Seahawks - The Seahawks are a tough team to beat at home and the Jets are traveling across the country.  You wonder how long before Tim Tebow gets his shot because Mark Sanchez isn't getting the job done.  Expect a physical defense and a heavy dose of Marshawn Lynch as the Seahawks look to keep close to the 49ers.

Pick - Seahawks

Cowboys vs Eagles - Two teams desperate for a win.  The Eagles cant stop anyone right now and Michael Vick is turning the ball over too much especially inside the red zone.  The Eagles offensive line is getting dominated and Demarcus Ware is going to be breaking through all game long.  The Cowboys continue to keep things close but cant seem to put a full game together.  A lot of talk about the Cowboys and Romo but can they respond and pick up a big divisional win?

Pick - Eagles

Rams vs 49ers - Both teams are coming off of a bye and the 49ers are a team that is fast and furious on defense.  Sam Bradford is going to be under pressure all game long.  The 49ers have a great balance on offense and shouldn't have any problems with a Rams team who is still trying to put things together.

Pick - 49ers

Texans vs Bears - This is the game of the week and potential Super Bowl preview.  Both very good defenses and balanced offenses.  I am really looking forward to see Arian Foster and how he attacks the Bears defense which has been forcing turnovers like crazy.  Jay Cutler will look early and often to his favorite target Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte has been productive back.  I think the edge goes to the Bears here because of the home field and the electric atmostphere.

Pick - Bears

Chiefs vs Steelers - This should be a very uneven Monday night game as the Steelers will look to take out Kansas City.  The Chiefs have been a disaster all seaosn long as they are unstable at the quarterback position and the defense hasnt been very good.  The Steelers are starting to play good football and I look for that to continue this week.

Pick - Steeles
