Andrew Luck and the Colts are just too good for the Titans. The Titans offense won't be the same without QB Jake Locker and their defense won't be able to hold the Colts to under 20 which has been their recipe for success this season.
I know I get burned pretty much every week by picking the Bills but I'm going to go with them this week again. The Bills are at home and the Jets are 1-3 away with their only win against the lowly Falcons. I'm taking the Bills with a bounce back game from QB E.J. Manuel.
Let's be honest, this won't be a pretty game. Tampa Bay is home and is on a one-game winning streak.
The Lions have QB Matt Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson Jr., enough said. Even though the Steelers are home, they've been a shell of their former selves. The Lions are the better team in this matchup, regardless of who's home.
The Eagles have found their offensive rhythm and their defense has been much improved over the last two games. The Redskins offense is obviously very good but their defense has been a huge problem this season. The Eagles will break their long home losing streak as the 'Skins defense won't be able to keep up with Philly's offense.
The Cardinals have been surprisingly good this year by playing great defense and having a workable offense. The Jaguars are just bad, not much more needs to be said. The Cardinals will win this one easily.
The Texans defense has still been playing well this season despite their record and the Raiders offense will be without QB Terrelle Pryor as QB Mike McGloin will be getting the start. And I believe Texans' QB Case Keenum is very talented and will have a good game against the Raiders. Plus, Houston is at home.
This is an odd game. It's between two teams that are just down right confusing. They have the potential to either be very good or underachieve. I'm taking the Bears because they're at home, QB Josh McCown has been playing well and they have Matt Forte. The Ravens are also stagnant on offense at times and they will be without DT Haloti Ngata.
I think the Bengals will bounce back in this one. They're home and need a win to further cement their AFC North lead. The Browns will be quarterbacked by Jason Campbell so there's an automatic advantage for Cincy. Plus, I think QB Andy Dalton and WR AJ Green will have good games.
I haven't been a fan of the Dolphins all year and now after the Martin-Incognito debacle, I like them even less. Plus, I think they're overrated. They have a ways to go offensively to be a playoff contender despite QB Ryan Tannehill's growth. The Chargers offense will out-gun and run the Dolphins in this one.
I just realized I predicted the same score for this game as was the real score of last week's Eagles and Packers game. The Giants, unfortunately, are hot and on a three game winning streak. The Packers have been forced to start third string QB Scott Tolzien and just aren't the same without QB Aaron Rodgers. The other key factor in this game will be defense. The Giants' D is finally playing like they should have been and like I've been saying for the past two season, the Packers defense isn't that good.
HA, do I really have to say anything?
The Saints are at home and have playing great on both sides of the football this season. I love the 49ers, but right now with San Fran's offense having been stagnant as of late, the Saints will take this one. PREDICTION: I believe this will be this year's NFC Championship game.
Wow, I can't wait for this game. The deciding factor will be QB Peyton Manning. He's just too freaking good. The Chiefs are a very good teak with a championship defense, but this one is in Denver and the Broncos have the greatest quarterback of all time.
The Panthers defense will be key in this game. Their defense can slow down and beat up the Patriots offense that features rookie wide receivers, a barely healthy Rob Gronkowski and a beat-up run game. And I think QB Cam Newton of Panthers will give the Patriots' defense problems.
