Houston Texans at New Orleans Saints (1:00, CBS)


Saints 38 Texans 35
Baltimore Ravens at St. Louis Rams (4:05, CBS)

Sam Bradford has been very hit or miss this season and inconsistent quarterback play is not ideal for when you are playing the Ravens. Especially a club coming off a really disappointing loss to the Titans. I think the Ravens are going to rattle Bradford and force him to make mistakes, which Joe Flacco and Ray Rice will promptly take advantage of.
Ravens 27 Rams 13
Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers (4:05, CBS)

I've already talked about the Chiefs' deficiencies. There is one thing that does not bode well for the Chiefs, apart from everything wrong with the club, is that their secondary has been pitiful. Saying that, Philip Rivers is drooling at the opportunity to take on this defense. The Chargers are my Lock of the Week.
Chargers 30 Chiefs 9
New York Jets at Oakland Raiders (4:05, CBS)

The Jets defense was absolutely dominant last week versus Jacksonville (although Luke McCown was starting for the Jags). When this defense is cranking, you cannot move the ball at all against them. Every once in the while, the Raiders will surprise the Jets and make it competitive but I don't expect Rex Ryan's boys to let up.
Jets 14 Raiders 9
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (4:15, Fox)

Now normally I would actually pick the Seahawks in this scenario since they are a very good home team. However, this 'Hawks team has looked pretty god awful this year and Tarvaris Jackson has been a mess at quarterback (what a surprise). Kevin Kolb will hook up with Larry Fitzgerald on a couple long balls and the Cardinals will roll.
Cardinals 21 Seahawks 6
Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4:15, Fox)

Matt Ryan came back from a mediocre week 1 to have a tremendous performance against Philadelphia. The Falcons were wise to focus the offense on him and he showed how well the offense can operate when he is the centerpiece rather than Michael Turner. And I do like this Buccaneers club and I love Josh Freeman. But the Falcons have the talent edge and thus the edge in this game.
Falcons 28 Buccaneers 24
Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears (4:15, Fox)

It's always a dogfight when these two great rivals duke it out as they have for 90 years. Da Bears looked really out of sync last week in New Orleans and I do not expect a repeat performance like that. I think the Bears will control the clock with Matt Forte and keep Aaron Rodgers on the sideline while Jay Cutler makes some smart decisions (it can happen, folks).

Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts (8:20, NBC)

The Steelers looked dominant last week, controlling the clock on the ground while Ben Roethlisberger made really smart decisions throwing the football. I expect more of the same. I also expect more of the same ineptness from Kerry Collins and friends for Indianapolis as that team is just a mess.
Steelers 20 Colts 3

Rex Grossman's solid play has to end some time? He has to revert to old Rex eventually, right? I agree on both counts. I think you will see Grossman make the mistakes of old and cost his team dearly. Meanwhile Tony Romo will take advantage and dominate the Redskins secondary.
