THU, NOV 18 TIME (ET)
Chicago at Miami 8:20 PM NFLN – The Bears will be out of gas after tangling with Minnesota in the previous week, and will have to face the Miami’s wildcat on the road. There are likely to be a lot of turnovers in this one, with Miami coming out on top.
SUN, NOV 21 TIME (ET)
Buffalo at Cincinnati 1:00 PM CBS – The Bengals already had their hands full with OchoCinco, and with the addition of WR Terrell Owens one has to wonder if the off field carnival will detract from the teams ability to play good football. TO is sure to be greeted with plenty of boos as he returns to take on his former team.
Detroit at Dallas 1:00 PM FOX – It’s hard to see the Lions beating the Cowboys in the Big D, but with so many vibrant young athletes and Tony Romo’s tendency for late-season meltdowns, you can’t count Detroit totally out of this one.
Oakland at Pittsburgh 1:00 PM CBS – Head coach Tom Cable is optimistic about the Raiders challenging in the AFC West, but I’m not convinced. Depending on who’s under center at this point in the season, Oakland could be a bust. The Steelers won’t have much trouble, but shouldn’t underestimate a very good young Raiders defense, remembering their loss to Oakland last season.
Houston at NY Jets 1:00 PM CBS – Houston will make their first trip to the new Meadowlands were they will look to upend the Jets defense. It will be a long day for New York’s Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie keeping tabs on WR Andre Johnson and TE Owen Daniels when they come to the Big Apple.
Baltimore at Carolina 1:00 PM CBS – Both teams possess good defense and solid power running. The winner here will be the team that can best control the clock. However, the Ravens have the advantage at the pivot spot, as Flacco has the goods to out wit Matt Moore. Look for big yardage from DeAngelo Williams and Ray Rice.
Cleveland at Jacksonville 1:00 PM CBS – It’s quite possible that the Browns could walk a way with a rare road victory against on of the AFC South’s weaker contenders. Games like these could give Cleveland a little dignity in what will surely be a brutal season. The Jags will ride running back Maurice Jones-Drew to a small unimpressive victory here.
Washington at Tennessee 1:00 PM FOX – Even with Donovan McNabb, and a strapping defense, the Skin’s may not be able to contain powerhouse running back Chris Johnson, and the gutsy heroics of Vince Young.
Arizona at Kansas City 1:00 PM FOX – Arrowhead is by far one of the toughest places to play on the road. Combine that with a huge day from WR Dwayne Bowe, mixed in with a some run support from RB Jamaal Charles, and the Chiefs could very well take this one at home.
Green Bay at Minnesota 1:00 PM FOX – Favre will get his former longtime employer at the home e in the second meeting between these two in 2010. While Rodgers and Co. have the goods, the Vikes are just that much better. And combined with a noisy crowd under the cover of the Homerdome, will be too much for the Packers in this NFC North confrontation.
Atlanta at St. Louis 4:05 PM FOX – The Falcons will move from the comforts of one dome to another as they end a three game home stand beginning with the Rams. Two young QBs will faceoff, as the Rams’ Bradford will try to match wits with a crafty Matt Ryan. If Falcons’ LB Mike Peterson can lead the Atlanta D in stuffing Stephen Jackson, they shouldn’t have a problem coming away with the win.
Seattle at New Orleans 4:05 PM FOX – Coming off a bye–at the Superdome? Need I say more?
Tampa Bay at San Francisco 4:05 PM FOX – The Bucs are a young team in development, but the 49ers should be wary if RB Cadillac Williams if he were to have a breakout day. If Niner’s QB Alex Smith can garner some success culminating in an early lead, San Francisco could control the clock with a mixture of RB Frank Gore and third and short passes to TE Vernon Davis to hang on for the win.
Indianapolis at New England 4:15 PM CBS – There won’t be any love from Bostonians in this one, as two of the best QBs in the league do battle in Foxboro –an atmosphere where hearing audibles is…well nonexistent. But with the Colts no huddle offense and Manning’s mysterious ability to orchestrate plays from the line of scrimmage, even the most deafening crowd won’t keep Indy from edging out a win in this one.
NY Giants at Philadelphia 8:20 PM NBC – The G-Men will need to bring their pass rush to this second leg matchup, in an effort to force newly-groomed QB Kevin Kolb into some costly rookie mistakes, turning over the ball to the junior Manning to work his magic.
MON, NOV 22 TIME (ET)
Denver at San Diego 8:30 PM – Rivers and his giant receivers should have no problem out pacing the Denver secondary, and if that doesn’t work, RBs Darren Sproles and Fresno standout and projected heir to the LT throne Ryan Matthews, should be able to get the job done at the Q.
