Game of the Week
Indianapolis at New England - The classic matchup that has brought so many great game in the past will not disappoint this year. The Colts Peyton Manning has made it his quest to be able to win in Foxboro in the cold.
Indy is a generally bad cold weather team but behind Manning anything is possible especially this season when the Pats are not what they were in the past. New England's Tom Brady is still one of the best QBs in the league but he cannot carry the entire team on his shoulders. Without help from his teammates Brady will not be able to hand the Colts their first loss of the season. Final 32-27 Indianapolis.
Best of the Rest
Kansas City at St. Louis - The Rams will look to rebound after a tough loss to the Chargers while the Chiefs will look to ride the wave of emotion after knocking off Seattle. The combination of QB Damon Huard and RB Larry Johnson will be too much for St. Louis. Final 32-24 Kansas City.
Houston at NY Giants - Houston will not be able to stand up to the Giants. New York is more skilled on offense and defense and will blitz right over the helpless Texans. Final 34-17 New York.
Tennessee at Jacksonville - The Jaguars showed last week why they are considered one of the top defensive teams when they held the Eagles to only six points. Against the Titans they will focus all of their efforts on stopping rookie QB Vince Young who will struggle mightily against Jacksonville's great speed. Final 24-10 Jacksonville
New Orleans at Tampa Bay - The Saints will look to win a hugely important divisional battle. Playing in Tampa Bay is not easy and it is made even harder because of the Bucs staunt D. But with QB Drew Brees and rookie Reggie Bush leading the way, New Orleans will come out on top. Final 27-20 New Orleans.
Dallas at Washington - The rapport between new QB Tony Romo and WR Terrell Owens grows every week and this will be impossible for the struggling Redskins defense to stop. The Dallas team is a testimate to incredible coaching prowess of Bill Parcells. Final 24-10 Dallas.
