This is a game I look forward to seeing

Miami: Sitting third in the AFC East, losing Chad Pennington for the season did not come at a worse time for the Dolphins, who had just recently begun picking up some steam. The Dolphins will need to rest up this week because they have a very hard three games after the bye week, hosting New Orleans before making road trips to New York and New England.San Francisco: Take away an amazing comeback by Brett Favre and the Vikings, and this 'Niners team is 4-1. With that and also coming off a complete rout at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons, the 'Niners will be happy to have a break this week. 18, 2009 Houston CincinnatiGC : The Texans are dangerous only because you don’t know which team will show up.

They had a tough loss last week and things won’t get any easier going up against a tough Bengals team. It’s nice to see that after all those tumultuous years the Bengals have finally turned the corner; they have me believing in them this year and this will be an easy home win.EA: The Texans have been very inconsistent this year, but it doesn't change the fact that any slip up in the Bengals' defense could lead to explosive plays from Steve Slaton or Andre Johnson. The Bengals have the talent to win this one, but Texas does have the talent to grind this one out all the way to the end.CB: But for a fluke play in Week One versus Denver Cincinnati may be undefeated right now. Houston, meanwhile, has been inconsistent. The Bengals' defense is finally looking pretty good, and I will take them at home. Cincinnati. Carolina Tampa Bay GC: The Panthers did something; they fixed something during their bye week. This is a game they should win because the Buccaneers are vying for last place this year.EA: While they are bad, I'm not convinced that the Panthers are as bad as they've been. As long as Jake Delhomme doesn't turn over too many times, there's no reason why the Panthers can't win this.

Even at home, it should be tough for the Bucs to overcome the Panthers. Carolina.CB: Two more lousy teams, but Tampa Bay is lousier. Carolina. Cleveland Pittsburgh GC: Come on, the Browns in Pittsburgh The Steelers could spot them six points and it still wouldn’t make a difference on the outcome.EA: This won't even be a game. I'll be surprised if the Browns even have less than three total turnovers.CB: Cleveland is another bottom feeder with a team that is in disarray and Pittsburgh remains one of the best teams in the league. Pittsburgh. NY Giants New Orleans GC: The Giants have gained a lot of momentum against some really bad teams for the past three weeks Finally they go up against another really good team. The Saints had a bye week last week and they are playing at home. The Saints will go to 5–0 with a win in this game.EA: This one is quite the interesting matchup.

The Saints have an outstanding offense and a vastly improved defense, while the Giants have one of the best defensive units out there and an offense that has been destroying the weak teams. This will be a test for both teams, and the winner will gain supremacy in the NFC. At home, I'm going with the Saints in a shootout.CB: Wow, wow, wow. What a matchup of unbeatens. This is a really tough pick but I think New Orleans, especially at home, is the better team. New Orleans. Going up against the Vikings at home isn’t going to be easy. My upset of the week is the Ravens take this one into their bye week.EA: While the Vikings are definitely for real, I'm not too sold on the performance of their passing game, as their biggest defensive challenge thus far has been San Francisco (a game in which the Vikings needed a last-second touchdown to win). This will be a big challenge for the Vikings, but I think they can win this one in the Metrodome.CB: Wow, after losing to Patriots and then division rival Cincinnati on a last minute drive, Baltimore is on shaky ground. I think they are a great team, but I just don’t see them beating Minnesota, who's playing on their home turf. This is a game I look forward to seeing. Minnesota St.
