Another stinker of a Thursday Night Football game. No offense to the Carolina Panthers here, but Greg Schiano's Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been god awful this season. He is a candidate to be the first coach fired in the NFL. The Panthers will win easily on a healthy dose of Cam Newton and a defensive touchdown. Carolina 20 Tampa Bay 9
Is there any way to know which New England Patriots is for real? The Miami Dolphins are coming in at the perfect time. They are missing their best player on each level of the defense if Aqib Talib doesn't return (Jerod Mayo and Vince Wilfork are both out for the season). The Dolphins have gone on a three-game slide after a hot start to the season. The points seem to be scary, but I believe Tom Brady can give his team a 10-point win. Miami 14 New England 24
The San Francisco 49ers have been nearly forgotten thanks to the way the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos have been playing. Their schedule has been weak since a Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Jacksonville Jaguars are by far the weakest. San Francisco 34 Jacksonville 10
This is probably the best game of the week. After a fabulous game last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Detroit Lions will be disappointed once again. It will be close the entire time, but expect the Dallas Cowboys to take it late and have everyone jumping on the bandwagon. Dallas 24 Detroit 21
The Cleveland Browns are sending out Jason Campbell against the undefeated Chiefs. Even during his prime, Campbell was an average quarterback at best. This is going to go bad for the Browns. Even with the points, I am going with the Chiefs. Cleveland 13 Kansas City 31
The New York Giants are back. They are going to turn it around and win the division! This is not going to happen. The Philadelphia Eagles are hungry to win their first game at home in over a year. The Cowboys only have a one-game lead in the division. DeSean Jackson is going to have his usual big game against the Giants to push the Eagles to a win. New York 27 Philadelphia 34
I understand it is the Buffalo Bills. I understand it is the New Orleans Saints at home. It looks like a shutdown case to pick Drew Brees over Thad Lewis. It isn't that cut and dry. The Bills have not lost a game by more than a touchdown all season. I don't expect that to start this week. Buffalo 30 New Orleans 37
Who knows about these two teams? Terrelle Pryor has the talent to beat bad teams by himself. The Pittsburgh Steelers are on a two-game winning streak after a 0-4 start. They may be looking ahead to a trip to New England and could trip up in this game. They will win, but it will be close. Pittsburgh 13 Oakland 10
The Bengals were my pick to win the AFC this season. The Jets were my pick to be the worst team in the league. The latter of those predictions aren't looking too good, but the Bengals are so good at home. Geno Smith is going to have a bad game even without Leon Hall out of the defense. New York 21 Cincinnati 28
The Atlanta Falcons are having an awful season. Julio Jones and Roddy White are not going to play. However, they still have Tony Gonzalez. Steven Jackson is coming back this week. They are playing Carson Palmer. Atlanta 31 Arizona 21
The Washington Redskins allow the second-most yards per attempt in the NFL. They are playing Peyton Manning. This isn't going to end well. Washington 30 Denver 45
The Minnesota Vikings just cannot find a competent quarterback. Josh Freeman was awful and then got hurt. Christian Ponder will get the start this week. The Green Bay Packers will be missing some skill position weapons, but they will still win by more than a touchdown. Green Bay 23 Minnesota 12
Usually, I would always pick against the Seahawks on the road getting this many points. Then again, they are playing Kellen Clemens. With the skill players they brought in being extremely ineffective, especially Tavon Austin, only makes his job harder. Richard Sherman might get four pick-sixes in this game. Seattle 41 St Louis 10
