1. Atlanta Falcons VS Chicago Bears 8:20pm ET on NBC

Predicted Winner and Score: Chicago Bears 24-17

Atlanta beat a hot San Francisco team last week along with making a mockery of the 49ers' defense but this week they face another team known for their defense the Chicago Bears. Bears has great defense but an added wrinkle for this year is their offense is pretty good lead by QB Jay Cutler. Wide Receiver Johnny is emerging as another dangerous return man and Devin Hester is becoming a more complete wide receiver. Bears will win knockoff the Falcons.

2. Arizona Cardinals VS Seattle Seahawks 4:05pm ET on FOX

Predicted Winner and Score: Arizona 24-21

Seattle shocks everyone with the beat down of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but I expect Kurt Warner and company to win and match the Seahawks point for point.

3. Baltimore Ravens VS Minnesota Vikings 1:00pm ET on CBS

Predicted Winner and Score: Baltimore 24-10

Ravens needs a win, but if they have a repeat performance of uncharacteristically allowing 100 yards rushing then expect Vikings runningback Adrian Peterson to have a great game. A great game by Peterson usually translates to Vikings' victory.

4. Buffalo Bills VS New York Jets 4:15pm ET on CBS


Predicted Winner and Score: New York Jets 21-7

New York Jets should get back to their winning ways as they face a Buffalo offense that is struggling in the worst way. The defense of the Jets after the lost to Miami has much to prove which should allow fans to see better play from the defensive squad. QB Mark Sanchez and newly acquired WR Braylon Edwards should have a big day.

5. Carolina Panthers VS Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1:00pm ET on FOX


Predicted Winner and Score: Carolina 24-3

The Panthers will have chance to get another victory as they face a Buccaneers unit who is troubled on both sides of the ball. Steve Smith have not had a breakout game as of yet and I look for an explosion on Smith's part. I predict an easy victory for Carolina

6. Cincinnati Bengals VS Houston Texans 1:00pm ET on CBS

Predicted Winner and Score: Houston 28 - 21

Cincinnati is a surprise team in the NFL but I feel the Texans have their number this week. Matt Schaub and the Texans was a goal line stand from winning last week. Two of the best wide receivers in the league Andre Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald will play which give both teams a chance.

7. Cleveland Browns VS Pittsburgh Steelers 1:00pm ET on FOX

Predicted Winner and Score: Pittsburgh 28 - 14

Pittsburgh Steelers in a blowout victory will be the outcome of this game. Steelers expect runningback Willie Parker and Safety Troy Polamalu to play in this game.


8.
Denver Broncos VS San Diego Chargers 8:30pm ET on ESPN

(Monday Football Game)

Predicted Winner and Score: San Diego 24-17

Denver has shown their defense is a force to deal with and Kyle Orton makes very few mistakes. These are usually great ingredients for a win, but I look for Phillip Rivers and the Chargers win this game. A great defensive game will be needed because as mentioned Orton makes few mistakes.


9.
Detroit Lions VS Green Bay Packers 1:00pm ET on FOX


Predicted Winner and Score: Green Bay 24-14

Aaron Rodgers when he stays on his feet is great QB. His offensive line has been atrocious and he faces a lot of pressure and is sacked often. Rodgers has Donald Drivers to throw to along with Greg Jennings which makes this a better offensive unit of the two teams. QB Daunte Culpepper will get his second start for the Detroit Lions. Packers win game but Lions will not make it easy.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars VS Saint Louis Rams 1:00pm ET on FOX


Predicted Winner and Score:
Jacksonville 28-14

Jacksonville will be happy to see the Rams on the schedule. After a blowout loss last week, David Garrard and company will easily win. The Rams have not proved they can stop any team. RB Stephen Jackson is the only bright spot on this team and some think he maybe traded before the trade deadline.


11.
Kansas City Chiefs VS Washington Redskins 1:00pm ET on CBS


Predicted Winner and Score: Kansas City 24-17

The Chiefs will attempt to duplicate the feat of the Detroit Lions by being the next winless team to beat the Redskins. Matt Cassel and Larry Johnson need an above average game to get the victory. Redskins' offense needs to come from their vacation and put some points on the board. The personnel on the offensive side of the ball should lead to more point production than what have been achieved thus far this season. Chiefs get their first victory this week.


12.
New England Patriots VS Tennessee Titans 4:15pm ET on CBS


Predicted Winner and Score: New England 28-7

Patriots have too much offensive firepower for Titans to get their first victory. Titans disastrous season will not get any better this week because Tom Brady along with Randy Moss and Wes Welker will exploit their defense every chance they get.

13. New Orleans Saints VS New York Giants 1:00pm ET on FOX


Predicted Winner and Score: New Orleans Saints 28-21

The battle of Unbeatens will make it the Sportymouth's Game of the Week. The Saints I expect to remain unbeaten mainly because of their explosive offense and much improved defense. If the Saints can protect QB Drew Brees from the Giants' fierce pass rush then they can get a victory. Giants have Eli Manning and rushing attack that will always keep other defenses on their toes. The Saints cannot let the Giants control the ball. Giants are favored in a low scoring affair but I expect a lot of scoring from both offenses. A high scoring game is a game the Saints will win in the end.

14. Philadelphia Eagles VS Oakland Raiders 4:05pm ET on FOX



Predicted Winner and Score: Philadelphia 24-14

Philadelphia plays possibly the weakest team in the NFL in the Oakland Raiders. QB Donovan McNabb will have a great game and that will be the difference. Oakland needs an overall better effort from their entire team. This year their squad has not looked too competitive. Jamarcus Russell needs to step his game up.
