MIA @ KC WIN - As long as the Chiefs don't suffer a letdown from last week's win, they should handle the Dolphins.
TB @ NO WIN - Must-win for the Saints. A loss to the Bucs gives them control of the division.
CLE @ HOU WIN - Another breather match for Houston while Andre Johnson gets healthy.
ATL WIN @ IND - The Falcons are bad on the road, but not Colts bad.
NYJ @ BUF WIN - Fitz, make this happen.
SF WIN @ WAS - Ha, remember when I thought the Redskins might be good this year?
SEA @ DAL WIN - If Jason Garrett can't get his team up to play the Seahawks after that terrible loss Sunday Night, he deserves to be fired.

CIN @ TEN WIN - Tossup, but, amazingly, this will be the most serious road test the Bengals have had so far this season.
DEN @ OAK WIN - Carson will fare better against the worst team in the division.
NYG @ NE WIN - Belichick will be quick to recover from last week's loss.
STL @ ARI WIN - Despite St. Louis's banner victory last week, these two teams are pretty evenly matched. The Cards have Fitz, the Rams have Steven Jackson. Arizona gets the home edge.
GB WIN @ SD - The Chargers are not right this season.
BAL @ PIT WIN - This is not the same Steelers team that got dominated in week 1. If the Steelers can generate the kind of pressure on Flacco that the Jaguars and Cardinals did, they should win this game handily. But that'll be tough without their two best pass rushers.

Monday, Nov 7
CHI @ PHI WIN - Philly's finally figuring things out this season.

Survivor pick: Texans

[Morgan Evanar]

MIA @ KC WIN - I have zero confidence in any team that calls a run on 3rd and 18.
TB @ NO WIN - Despite O-line injuries I expect the Saints to be up for this game.

CLE @ HOU WIN - Foster gonna run all over Cleveland.
ATL WIN @ IND - The Falcons beat up some on the punching bag of the NFL.
NYJ @ BUF WIN - J E T S SUCK SUCK SUCK
SF WIN @ WAS - SF is playing out of their minds.
SEA @ DAL WIN - Seahawks are lousy, and Dallas is struggling. But Dallas has a better team and a better QB for sure.
CIN WIN@ TEN - I think the Bengals will smother Hasselbeck now that the Titan's most effective offensive weapon doesn't care behind a terrible O-line
DEN @ OAK WIN - Tebowned
NYG @ NE WIN - The Giants barely beat a terrible Miami team, although they had a terrible case of the dropsies for the first half. Eli Manning looks good, but the rest of the team is pretty suspect.
STL @ ARI WIN - Uh Arizona. Both teams are bad though.
GB WIN @ SD - Something is rotten in the State of San Diego. Also GB is goood.
BAL @ PIT WIN - If that moron Cam Cameron is calling the game, expect the Steelers defense to have a field day with Flacco. On the other hand, if Harbaugh gets rid of that moron's headset again, expect Flacco to have a much better day against the Steeler's pass rush. It's hard to take anyone except for maybe the Packers or 9ers to beat the Steelers at home.

Monday, Nov 7
CHI @ PHI WIN - After a decisive win against division rival Dallas, Philly is going to be pumped to play football again.

Sunday, Nov 6
MIA @ KC (W) - The Suck for Luck streak continues for another week.
TB @ NO (W) - The Saints are better at home than on the road, but this won't be an easy game.
CLE @ HOU (W) - Does any team have an easier path to a division title than the Texans?
ATL (W) @ IND - Another Suck for Luck streak continues. Atlanta is starting to look better in the NFC South.
NYJ @ BUF (W) - Still don't like the Jet's run defense, and Fred Jackson has become one of the best backs in the league.
SF (W) @ WAS - The Niners seem due for a let down, but the Redskins don't have the consistency on offense to pull of an upset.
SEA @ DAL (W) - Anyone seen Dez Bryant and Miles Austin lately? Bueller?

CIN (W) @ TEN - The Bengals need as many wins right now as possible... their home stretch of the season is brutal.
DEN @ OAK (W) - Even without McFadden, Oakland is just too physical for Denver.
NYG @ NE (W) - The Pats are something crazy like 23-2 coming off a loss since 2003. The Giants will score, New England will score more.
STL (W) @ ARI - Cardinals choked away a potentially season changing win against the Ravens, while the Rams gained some confidence by battering the Saints. Momentum carryover game.
GB (W) @ SD - Unless Philips Rivers gets right really fast, and the Chargers somehow find a pass rush, AND the Packers have some rust coming off the bye... possible, but not likely.
BAL @ PIT (W) - Angry Steelers are angry about the Week 1 loss in Baltimore. Pittsburgh is getting back to being Pittsburgh while the Ravens have lost their identity on offense.

Monday, Nov 7
CHI @ PHI (W) - Eagles win, but this will be a tight game. The Bears have always played Vick very tough, and they'll find a way to ugly up the game and keep it close.

Lol Colts, down 21-0.

Lol Browns, down 21-3.

Lol Dolphins, down... wait, up 14-3 in Kansas City?

Fox has broken in twice with highlights from the Falcons-Colts game. Both times, the Colts defense looked like they weren't even trying to contain Julio Jones. In one of them, three Colts defensive backs had him surrounded, and not one of them turned to look for the ball as he slipped between two of them and made a ridiculous diving catch. I don't remember even the 0-16 Panthers ever checking out like that; they were in some close games down the stretch, even though they were outclassed by every opponent they faced in terms of talent. I really believe this Colts team is even worse, because they've given up. This goes way beyond missing Peyton Manning.

[Kyran O'Hurn]

I knew I should have picked the fish this week...

And I'll stick by that statement even if they somehow blow up again and lose the game, which I don't think they will.

[Dragon]

Wow, every game so far this afternoon is a blowout. The Buccaneers and the Redskins are the only teams within two scores of their competition.
