Ouch! I missed all my picks last week. Green Bay did their best but the Bengals and the Patriots were pathetic. This week's games have great matchups and all but one are difficult to pick.
Cardinals vs Saints
This should be a high scoring game but New Orleans struggled late this years against losing teams and will have trouble keeping up with Kurt Warner and the potent Cardinal offense.
Cardinals 35 Saints 24
Ravens vs Colts
Baltimore dominated New England early in the first quarter and the Patriots never recovered. You can't blame a long layoff for the Patriots poor performance. It was because they are old at offensive line and their defense does not have anywhere near the speed and talent that they had when they were winning superbowls. The Colts led by Dwight Freeney will pressure Joe Flacco into some turnovers and Peyton Manning will do just enough to engineer some scoring drives. This will be a close on
Colts 20 Ravens 17
Chargers vs Jets
Give the Jets credit. They have exceeded all expectations and Head Coach Rex Ryan has created one of the premiere defenses in the AFC. This will be a close game where special teams will be a factor. Charger place kicker Nate Kaeding has made 69 straight field goals within 40 yards and punter Mike Scifres is the best punter there is punting the ball in the coffin corner and making offenses start deep in their own area. The Charger offense if very effficient and rarely turns over the ball and this should be just enough for the Chargers to win
Chargers 21 Jets 14
Cowboys vs Vikings
Unless Adrian Peterson has a big game which is unlikely since his best games this year were against Cleveland and Detroit, the Cowboys should dominate. Brett Favre when pressured has a tendency to throw interceptions and the Cowboys will be bringing more pressure than he can handle. The Cowboys are on a roll and will steamroll the Vikings.
Cowboys 27 Vikings 13
