| New Orleans Saints at Indianapolis Colts | |||

| Kansas City Chiefs at Houston Texans | |||
 21 | The Texans believe this year is going to be different from the previous five, which all resulted in losing records. The reason is QB Matt Schaub, who completed 24 of 33 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in the preseason. Result: Houston Texans 20, Kansas City Chiefs 3 | ||
 20 | |||
| Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers | |||
 22 | The Eagles hope to improve a defense that finished 15th in yards allowed, 15th in points allowed and 26th in rushing yards allowed last year. Philadelphia opens '07 with new starters at five different positions, including an entirely new linebacking corps. Result: Philadelphia Eagles 13, Green Bay Packers 16 | ||
 21 | |||
| Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns | |||
 22 | The Steelers think last year's 8-8 record was a fluke caused by injuries to their quarterback and a few close losses. WR Hines Ward believes what occurred last season was not unusual for a Super Bowl champ. Result: Pittsburgh Steelers 34, Cleveland Browns 7 | ||
 17 | |||
| Denver Broncos at Buffalo Bills | |||
 22 | The Broncos have high hopes for the 2007 season, but there is a concern with the starting defense, which couldn't force a punt in its first two games. Result: Denver Broncos 15, Buffalo Bills 14 | ||
 17 | |||
| Miami Dolphins at Washington Redskins | |||
 20 | Redskins QB Jason Campbell had a decent preseason with an 81.4 passer rating, but also fumbled twice and was sacked three times. Result: Washington Redskins 16, Miami Dolphins 13 | ||
 19 | |||
| Carolina Panthers at St. Louis Rams | |||
 22 | Although the Rams' first-team offense didn't score any touchdowns in preseason games, that also happened last season and QB Marc Bulger still had a strong season. Result: St. Louis Rams 13, Carolina Panthers 27 | ||
 20 | |||
| New England Patriots at NY Jets Jets | |||
 24 | With Asante Samuel back in the fold, an already-strong Patriots defense gets even better. The unit has been close to dominant this preseason, and that's while playing without Samuel, Richard Seymour and Ty Warren -- three of its best players. Result: New England Patriots 38, NY Jets Jets 14 | ||
 18 | |||
| Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings | |||
 20 | Vikings coordinator Leslie Frazier is committed to making sure a pass defense that tied for worst in the NFL last season climbs closer to a run defense that led the league. Result: Minnesota Vikings 24, Atlanta Falcons 3 | ||
 16 | |||
| Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars | |||
 25 | Jaguars QB David Garrard outplayed Byron Leftwich in the preseason, but it was primarily against second- and third-team defenses. The coaching staff believes that Garrard possesses more natural athletic ability and provides increased mobility at the position. Result: Jacksonville Jaguars 10, Tennessee Titans 13 | ||
 15 | |||
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Seattle Seahawks | |||
 23 | The Seahawks defied the Super Bowl losers' jinx of not making it to the playoffs by advancing to the divisional round last year before falling in overtime to Chicago. The Seahawks' scoring dropped more than a touchdown per game in 2006 and QB Matt Hasselbeck is the key to returning to 2005 levels. Result: Seattle Seahawks 20, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6 | ||
 18 | |||
| Detroit Lions at Oakland Raiders | |||
 20 | Even though the Raiders ranked No. 3 in terms of yardage surrendered last season, the team hopes to shore up a spotty run defense in order to survive in the run-oriented AFC West. Result: Oakland Raiders 21, Detroit Lions 36 | ||
 16 | |||
| Chicago Bears at San Diego Chargers | |||
 25 | Norv Turner took over for Marty Schottenheimer as head coach despite the fact that San Diego led the league in scoring and in collecting sacks a year ago. With nine starters on offense and eight on defense returning, the Chargers seem primed to make it to only their second Super Bowl. Result: San Diego Chargers 14, Chicago Bears 3 | ||
 20 | |||
| NY Giants Giants at Dallas Cowboys | |||
 26 | Cowboys owner Jerry Jones felt that Wade Phillips' laid-back attitude was the perfect option following Bill Parcells. Dallas has the talent in place to make a run and Phillips can help them take the next step and become a Super Bowl contender. Result: Dallas Cowboys 45, NY Giants Giants 35 | ||

| Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals | |||
 21 | In three preseason games, RB Willis McGahee has failed to click with the offense, gaining 35 yards on 14 carries. But the Ravens still consider themselves a Super Bowl contender and expect McGahee to be an upgrade over Jamal Lewis. Result: Baltimore Ravens 20, Cincinnati Bengals 27 | ||
 20 | |||
| Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers | |||
 24 | After selecting quarterback Alex Smith with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2005 draft, the 49ers have tried to build a strong supporting cast around him. They added receivers Darrell Jackson and Ashley Lelie this offseason and selected tight end Vernon Davis with the No. 6 overall selection last year. Result: San Francisco 49ers 20, Arizona Cardinals 17 | ||
