5 Detroit 7 Lock of the WeekIndianapolis vs

PhiladelphiaA battle between two injury-depleted teams is the story in this one. That's bad news for Tampa, which hasstruggled mightily against Double Trouble the past two times that Carolina has played the Buccaneers.The Panthers ground game is going to have a field day Carolina 31(-6.5), Tampa Bay 14Chicago vs St LouisChicago is reeling, and reeling fast, but St Louis is just awful. Steven Jackson should, yet again, have a huge day against a suddenly horrible Bears defense, but Jay Cutler should finally rebound against a Rams team with no defense. Matt Forte will have a big game as well.Chicago will just outscore the Rams Chicago 34 (-8.5), St Louis 20 Cincinnati vs. Stafford doesn't play well against good defenses, and Leon Hall and Jonathan Joseph are two of the best corners in the league Yet another depressing week for Lions fans. Cincinnati 24 (-13.5), Detroit 7 (Lock of the Week)Indianapolis vs.

I'll take Manning at home over Young on the road any day.Add that Indy's defense is causing turnovers left and right, and Indy's a lock to take another step toward the nearly impossible perfect season.Indianapolis 28 (-6.5), Tennessee 17 (Game of the Week)Jacksonville vs. HoustonHouston is going through the same motions as they do every year. They also play better once they are out of it.Jacksonville showed they were extremely inconsistent last week, and Houston will catch them on another inconsistent day Jacksonville cannot stop that high powered offense Houston 31 (0.5), Jacksonville 13Kansas City vs. I don't care the entire second string offense played in this game, Pittsburgh would win every time.

The defense will show up against the awful Raiders offense, and it's almost impossible not to score at least once against Oakland's defense.The blowout Pittsburgh fans have been waiting for will come here Pittsburgh 27 (-11.5), Oakland 3Washington vs. New OrleansI keep picking against New Orleans, and they keep winning But this week is the week it all comes tumbling down It's the perfect trap game. On the road against a team that has been playing well, but not a team that is regarded as particularly good. The New Orleans offense will be smothered by Washington, and they'll make some big plays to salvage their season somewhat. Washington 24 (8.5), New Orleans 21 (Upset of the Week)Cleveland vs.

San DiegoSan Diego is playing just as well as any team with a better record than them right now. Merriman and Phillips are playing great every week on defense, and the running game has finally gotten going, even without LT being great. They have been going three of four backs deep recently and have been getting solid production out off all of them.We're gonna be seeing all of those backs in another blowout this week.San Diego 41 (-12.5), Cleveland 10Arizona vs. MinnesotaKurt Warner should play in this game, but he probably wishes he couldn't. Facing the Vikings defensive line has to be frightening for any player, especially one coming back from a concussion. The Vikes have what it takes to slow down Arizona's suddenly red hot, running game as well.This is gut check time for both of these teams.Minnesota 27 (-3.5), Arizona 21 New York Giants vs.
