Rex Ryan is visiting his former home team for the first time since they cut him and I am sure he is looking to get some revenge. Both of these teams are looking to get a wildcard spot in the playoffs and see this as a huge matchup. Each one has some great defense, it will all depend on which QB can come through. Fitzpatrick had some injury issues recently, and the Jets don't trust Geno, while Taylor has impressed me over in Buffalo. He looks to be fully recovered after his domination last week. This will be a close game, but I am putting my money on the Bills though they are not favored. Jets are favored by 2.5, but I think it will be Rex bringing some payback with a final of Bills 24-23.
Lions (1-7) @ Packers (6-2)
Rodgers is not happy coming off an second loss in a row. Usually after a defeat he brings punishment and has one of his best games of the season. He may be a little bit of a disadvantage as according to reports, the Packers have the slowest targets in the NFL. But in reality I don't think that is to impactive, as Jones and Cobb have been putting up good numbers. The Lions are obviously struggling, but they seem to always give their main enemy a good fight. The spread in this one favors the Packers by 11.5 points, as I say Rodgers gets off the snide with a 38-20 Packers win.
Cowboys (2-6) @ Buccaneers (3-6)
The struggling Cowboys are pulling in to Tampa with the injuries still haunting them. But I think Cassel and the Cowboys are looking better each week and may finally come through after six straight loses. Winston has looked good, its the Bucs defense I don't trust. Though Lee is out, yet again for the Cowboys, they still got some good defense which may be the difference maker. Buccaneers are favored by 1.5 points, but I am going Cowboys 21-19.
Panthers (8-0) @ Titans (2-6)
This game is an easy one to make a quick pick and toss aside with the Panthers record, but if you look at it they have not blown anyone away all year. The Titans will make this interesting, but I think Cam and the Panthers will still get the win. Mariota will face a lot of pressure and late turnovers will keep the Titans away from coming back. The spread is 4.5, Panthers cover it with a defense win 27-21 Carolina.
Cutler and the Bears made their comeback on Monday with the victory over the Chargers, taking their third of the last five games. The Rams are coming off a tough loss, but I think they are ready to turn things around lead by Gurley. Forte is dinged up and the running game will be the big difference maker with QBs Foles and Cutler. Gurley will pile up the yards and give the Rams the win. They are favored by 7.5 points, while I don't give them that many it will still be a 24-20 Rams win.
Saints (4-5) @ Redskins (3-5)
The Saints dropped a tough one last week against the Titans, as they were exposed to their weakness of not being able to stop the passing game. That will be the case these week again and it will be up to Brees to out duel Cousins. The Saints are favored by one and I think Brees will be able to do it this week. After that last week, I am sure he is determined to put a lot of points on the board, knowing he has to carry his team. Saints take it 42-34.
Dolphins (3-5) @ Eagles (4-4)
The Eagles have been looking good coming off their win against the Cowboys. The Dolphins have slowed down, dropping their last two games as Campbell's affect seems to have worn off. I have to lean towards the Eagles on this one. They are the hot team coming in, though I don't trust Bradford at all, the Dolphins have been owned each of the last two games and I can't have faith in them after that. The Eagles are favored by 6.5, but I give it to Philly 28-23.
Browns (2-7) @ Steelers (5-4)
No Big Ben as the Steelers face another big missing piece on their offense. While the Browns have dropped four in a row dealing with QB injuries of their own. This game will end up being a close one, as Deangelo Williams will be the difference maker on the run game. The Steelers are favored by 4.5, but I think the Browns will keep it closer with the 23-20 Steelers win.
Jaguars (2-6) @ Ravens (2-6)
The Jaguars may be looking at a tough 2-6 record, but they have made a lot of those games really close. They still have a chance to fight for the division, as the leading Colts just lost Luck to an abdominal injury that will keep him out. While the Ravens were a team I thought would be fighting for the AFC North this year, but that has not been the case. Injuries are getting to them now too, as they are missing a good amount of offensive weapons. The Ravens are favored by 5.5, but I think Bortles will make it more of a match with 21-20 Ravens victory.
The Vikings have been hot, as they just tied the Packers for the number one seat in the NFC North. The Vikings will be leaving the midwest and head over to Oakland to take on the good surprise Raiders. Carr, Murray, and Cooper have been strong weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Look for them to expose the Vikings defense and take away the upper hand in a close match, as the Vikings have been slipping by with all their wins. Raiders are favored by 3.5, but I give it to Oakland 27-20.
Patriots (8-0) @ Giants (5-4)
Brady and the Patriots are about to face the one team that seems to have their number, especially in the big Super Bowl games. But I bet the Patriots have got them this time, as though they lead their division, the Giants have not nearly impressed me as much as New England has. The spread is 7, and that might be a bit much. But Brady will take the Pats to a 31-27 win.
Chiefs (3-5) @ Broncos (7-1)
The Broncos already beat the Chiefs once this season and I bet now at home they do it yet again. Manning is coming off a disappointing loss against his former team, but I bet he brings it out hitting Sanders and Thomas for a good amount of yardage. The Chiefs are coming off a long bye after their victory in London and have won two in a row. But their really slow start has them out of the picture, for the division at least. The Broncos will end that streak covering the spread of 6.5 with the 34-27 Denver win.
Cardinals (6-20) @ Seahawks (4-4)
The Seahawks have been picking things up after their slow start and are about to take on the division leading Cardinals. Arizona can lock up the division putting the Seahawks back under .500 half way through the season. Look for this one to be a really good fight between Palmer and the Cardinals offense and the Seahawks secondary. Both teams have great game on both sides of the ball, but I got to go with Seahawks domination as they have taken four of the last five against Arizona. Seahawks are favored by 3 and take it 18-17 Seattle.
Dalton has been amazing this year, leading his team to an undefeated record halfway through. There has been a lot of doubtful words tossed around about the Bengals due to their playoff past. They are about to take on the up and down Texans who they should be able to destroy. That make turn some of those doubters into believers. The Bengals will grab win number 9, as they pass their huge spread of 11 points. With Bernard and Green each grabbing two touchdowns, the Bengals win 42-23.
Record: 83-49
