Cleveland Browns at New England PatriotsFan picks
28The Browns are playing well, but the Patriots are on another level. Even so, don't you think the Pats will be looking ahead to Dallas a little? The Browns will hang around.
Result: New England Patriots 34, Cleveland Browns 17

Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas City ChiefsFan picks
21The Chiefs are riding high on a two-game winning streak and appear to have righted their offensive woes. The Jaguars are coming off a bye and haven't played well in that role for Jack Del Rio. That changes here. They shut down Larry Johnson and win the game.
Result: Jacksonville Jaguars 17, Kansas City Chiefs 7

Miami Dolphins at Houston TexansFan picks
26The Texans are still hurting, which is a part of why they've lost two consecutive home games. The Dolphins haven't won yet, but they have too many veterans to just fold it up and look to next year. They keep it close.
Result: Houston Texans 22, Miami Dolphins 19

Arizona Cardinals at St. Louis RamsFan picks
23The Rams will start Gus Frerotte in place of Marc Bulger in hopes of getting the passing game going. The problem is the offensive line is struggling, and the Cardinals defense is getting better. I look for that defense to limit the Rams, and the Cards take it.
Result: Arizona Cardinals 34, St. Louis Rams 31

Detroit Lions at Washington RedskinsFan picks
30The Lions are 0-20 at Washington. That's a lot of history to buck. The Redskins are coming off a bye week, and the Lions are coming off a tough game against the Bears. Everything favors the Redskins. And I agree.
Result: Washington Redskins 34, Detroit Lions 3

Atlanta Falcons at Tennessee TitansFan picks
33The Titans are coming off a bye and have played well, especially on defense. The Falcons won for the first time last week, and their offense has come alive. But this is a step up in competition, and it's on the road. The Titans handle them.
Result: Tennessee Titans 20, Atlanta Falcons 13

Seattle Seahawks at Pittsburgh SteelersFan picks
28The Seahawks are on the second of two consecutive road trips, and this one is outside the conference after playing a division game. That's tough to do. The Steelers come home after their first loss, so they will be focused. This one won't be close.
Result: Pittsburgh Steelers 21, Seattle Seahawks 0

NY Jets Jets at NY Giants GiantsFan picks
24A few weeks ago this looked like a dog game. But that has changed with the Giants winning two in a row. They are playing really good defense, and the Jets can't throw it deep. The Giants take it.
Result: NY Giants Giants 35, NY Jets Jets 24

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans SaintsFan picks
21The loser is in huge trouble in the division. The Saints haven't played well yet. And the Panthers are 2-0 on the road. But I get the feeling the Saints get it going here and find a way.
Result: New Orleans Saints 13, Carolina Panthers 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Indianapolis ColtsFan picks
23This is a great battle between one of the league's best offenses against one of the top defenses. The Bucs have played well, but they haven't faced an offense like this. Even so, they'll find a way to hang around, mainly by running the ball.
Result: Indianapolis Colts 33, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 14

Baltimore Ravens at San Francisco 49ersFan picks
17Trent Dilfer starts against his former team, which should be interesting. The Ravens haven't played well on defense, but the 49ers have had trouble scoring. This could be a low-scoring game.
Result: San Francisco 49ers 7, Baltimore Ravens 9

San Diego Chargers at Denver BroncosFan picks
33This might be a survival game for the Chargers. That's not the spot you want to be in going to Denver. The Broncos have lost two consecutive games and are having problems stopping the run. But somehow since they're at home, they'll find a way to get this one. It'll help that the Chargers don't give the ball enough to L.T.
Result: Denver Broncos 3, San Diego Chargers 41

Chicago Bears at Green Bay PackersFan picks
30The Bears are staring 1-4 in the face with a loss here. They will play like a desperate group, which makes for a close, hard-hitting game. But I think the Packers are the better team. That defense will smother the Bears offense, forcing turnovers that lead to points.
Result: Green Bay Packers 20, Chicago Bears 27

Dallas Cowboys at Buffalo BillsFan picks
23The Cowboys are riding high, but they have a look-ahead game next week with the Patriots. They need to be careful here. The Bills played better last week against the Jets in getting their first victory. That should help the confidence, which is why the keep it close.
Result: Dallas Cowboys 25, Buffalo Bills 24
