Pittsburg at Jacksonville

The Steelers want to hang onto their top spot in the AFC North, which may be tough this week.  Baltimore is nipping at their heels and their offensive line had taken more than a few hits.  They only have 3 running backs on deck, one of which is brand new and another was bumped up from the practice squad.  On top of that Roethlisberger is “questionable” with a separated shoulder.  This game is going to come down to the ability of Troy Polamalu, and the rest of the Pittsburg D, to make big plays.  Of course, because of my staunch Indy allegiance, I will be cheering for the Steelers to do just that.  

My bet; Steelers by 3.

Washington at Philadelphia

The Redskins and Eagles duke it out for the number 3 spot in the NFC East on Sunday.  I think Philly has a good chance of holding the Redskins off.  They’re playing at home and, assuming Brian Westbrook is back up to speed, the Eagles should be able to put up the plethora of points we’re used to. 

Washington is coming off a big win against the Cowboys last week, so there is a chance that momentum will propel them to a win.  I like the Eagles in this game though, and am banking on them by a TD.

 
Tennessee at Baltimore

I’m going to be praying for Baltimore on this one.  I think they have a good chance at pulling out a win.  They don’t want to fall any further behind Pittsburg in their division and it is just plain time to see these Titans upset.  Tennessee’s D is a little beat up, but even so all of their touchdowns against Minnesota last week were the result of turnovers.  So Baltimore O-line, “Hold your crap together!!”

My hope; Ravens by whatever.

Indianapolis at Houston

OK, so at least something is still right in the world of the AFC – the Texans are in last place in their division.  It truly will be a sign of the onset of the apocalypse if Indy loses this game.  Fortunately, I don’t believe that’s going to happen.  The Peyton Manning I know will have been reviewing tape like crazy these past two weeks and it is my fervent hope that the rest of the team has been doing the like.  Something’s got to give with these guys and hopefully whatever it is has given during the bye week off.

Colts by 4 or more.
