I might as well get the obvious Jacksonville Jaguars pick out of the way. My only concern is that they are coming off of a bye, and division games are always tough. The Tennessee Titans are definitely better with Jake Locker back, and perhaps Chris Johnson might be returning to his old form after a monster game against the St. Louis Rams.
For some strange reason, I have faith in the New York Giants. They're coming off a bye, Andre Brown is set to return this week, which could finally give the Giants a legit running attack, and they're playing a shell shocked Oakland Raiders team that gave up seven touchdown passes to Nick Foles last week. Oh yeah, and there's that whole flying across country to play a 1:00 EST game. What could possibly go wrong? I just had to say that, didn't I?
The poor, poor St. Louis Rams. They've hung around the past couple weeks, but Kellen Clemens isn't going to be the one to put them over the top in close games. Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts are a different story, though, as they survived a kitchen sink game against the desperate and very slightly rejuvenated Houston Texans.
The Seattle Seahawks have struggled the past couple of weeks against lesser teams. I think the third time will be the charm, as they should unload on the hapless Atlanta Falcons this week. It also helps that this is a classic revenge game for the Seahawks, who lost in heart breaking fashion to the Falcons in last year's Divisional playoff game.
The Dallas Cowboys are capable of beating the New Orleans Saints this Sunday night, but we all know how this script goes now. The Cowboys have a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter, and the Saints put up 14 points to take the lead back and enter Tony Romo down four points going on the a potential game winning drive at the end. We all know how that story ends, right? Sorry, Cowboys fans.
