| Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers | ||||
| The Seahawks are playing good defense, but the Packers are a big step up in terms of offense. The addition of Ryan Grant running the football has really helped Brett Favre. That will help keep that front four off of Favre. He will make plays down the field. The Seahawks are having trouble running the football, so it will be Matt Hasselbeck who has to deal with a fierce pass rush. The Packers will make this one look easy. Result: Green Bay Packers 42, Seattle Seahawks 20 | ||||
| Jacksonville Jaguars at New England Patriots | ||||
| The Jaguars have scored 24 or more points in 11 consecutive games. They have the running attack to control the football, which you have to do against the Patriots. So it's a close game, right? It won't be at the end. The Jaguars have trouble with the pass, and Tom Brady can light them up. Look for Brady to put up some big numbers as the Pats go to 17-0. David Garrard won't be able to keep up in the fourth quarter. It will be fun for lovers of offense. Result: New England Patriots 31, Jacksonville Jaguars 20 | ||||

| San Diego Chargers at Indianapolis Colts | ||||
| Here's another case of one team being able to put up big numbers through the air, and the road team won't be able to keep up. Peyton Manning was awful the first time he faced the Chargers, but that was the undermanned Colts offense. This one will roll, Manning will carve up the San Diego secondary and Philip Rivers won't make enough plays for San Diego. The Colts led the league in scoring defense, and they continue that good play here. Result: Indianapolis Colts 24, San Diego Chargers 28 | ||||
| NY Giants Giants at Dallas Cowboys | ||||
| The Giants appear to be on a roll. They played well in losing to the Patriots and then were strong again in beating the Bucs. Eli Manning had a mistake-free game. He'll need to do that here if the Giants are to have a chance. The Cowboys didn't play that well down the stretch, and with Terrell Owens hurting, it will be tough to get as many plays down the field. The Giants come into Dallas and pull off the upset. Result: NY Giants Giants 21, Dallas Cowboys 17 | ||||
