| Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions | Fan picks | |||
| The Bears made the change at quarterback to go to Brian Griese. Now they need to open up the offense. The Lions can score on anybody, but can they stop anybody? Look for a lot of points. Result: Chicago Bears 27, Detroit Lions 37 | ||||

| St. Louis Rams at Dallas Cowboys | Fan picks | |||
| The Cowboys are coming off two road victories, including a big one last Sunday night against the Bears. Letdowns are possible in those spots, but I don't think the Rams have the horses to keep it close. The Dallas defense will swarm Marc Bulger. Result: Dallas Cowboys 35, St. Louis Rams 7 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns | Fan picks | |||
| The Ravens get to face former teammate Jamal Lewis, who is off to a good start. Lewis will be the guy the Ravens have to stop. But look for the Browns to attack through the air, much like Arizona did in the second half. They keep it close. Result: Baltimore Ravens 13, Cleveland Browns 27 | ||||

| NY Jets Jets at Buffalo Bills | Fan picks | |||
| The Bills are really hurting. They've lost a lot of key guys. The Jets seemed to right it a bit last week, so they come in rolling. It won't be easy, but they find a way. Result: NY Jets Jets 14, Buffalo Bills 17 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Houston Texans at Atlanta Falcons | Fan picks | |||
| The Texans are really hurting on offense. Matt Schaub returns to play his old team without many bullets in the gun. The Falcons defense should be up to face their old teammate and the thinking is here is that gets them the victory. Result: Atlanta Falcons 26, Houston Texans 16 | ||||

| Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings | Fan picks | |||
| The Packers are riding high, while the Vikings have lost their last two games and haven't played well on offense. But Green Bay put a lot into beating the Chargers, and the Vikings need the game in the worst way. They get it. Result: Minnesota Vikings 16, Green Bay Packers 23 | ||||

| Oakland Raiders at Miami Dolphins | Fan picks | |||
| The Raiders got their first victory last week and now must make a cross-country trip. That smells of a letdown. The Dolphins are looking for their first victory, and I think they get it here. Result: Miami Dolphins 17, Oakland Raiders 35 | ||||

| Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers | Fan picks | |||
| This is a huge early division game. The 49ers return home after two games on the road. They have to get the offense cranked up. Seattle had a tough victory at home against Cincinnati, which took some out of them. I like the home team. Result: San Francisco 49ers 3, Seattle Seahawks 23 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers | Fan picks | |||
| It looks as if David Carr starts for the Panthers. He's capable, but the Tampa Bay defense is playing well. That will provide a stiff challenge. The key here will be whether the Tampa Bay offense can make plays down the field in the passing game, which Houston used to beat the Panthers two weeks ago. They will, and they get the upset. Result: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20, Carolina Panthers 7 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers | Fan picks | |||
| This one will be ugly. You have an angry team playing a division rival that won for the first time last week. That's a bad equation for the Chiefs. Blowout city. Result: San Diego Chargers 16, Kansas City Chiefs 30 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts | Fan picks | |||
| Peyton Manning has killed the Broncos in recent years. He will again. The only think that will hold him back is that Broncos can't stop the run, so the Colts might run it a bunch. Either way, it won't be close. Result: Indianapolis Colts 38, Denver Broncos 20 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Pittsburgh Steelers at Arizona Cardinals | Fan picks | |||
| Ken Whisenhunt gets to face his old team, so he should know plenty of what they do. The next part is getting his team to execute the plan. Pittsburgh is playing well, but this is a tough spot, a long road trip against a non-division opponent that needs it. Result: Pittsburgh Steelers 14, Arizona Cardinals 21 | ||||
update your picks | ||||
| Philadelphia Eagles at NY Giants Giants | Fan picks | |||
| Both these teams won for the first time last week, so they feel pretty good heading into this one. But the loser is in trouble in the division with the Cowboys and Redskins off to good starts. That loser will be the Eagles after Eli Manning lights them up. Result: NY Giants Giants 16, Philadelphia Eagles 3 | ||||

| New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals | Fan picks | |||
| If you like points, this is the game for you. The Patriots have been rolling on offense, and the Bengals have had pass-defense issues. Carson Palmer will be forced into catch-up mode for much of the day. He'll fall just short. Result: New England Patriots 34, Cincinnati Bengals 13 | ||||
