Sunday October 17th
1:00 FOX: Seahawks at Bears
Cutler is back. The Seahawks stink. I’ll take Chicago here. Bears 31 Seahawks 17.
1:00 CBS: Dolphins at Packers
I expect a bounce back win for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers here. Packers 30 Dolphins 20.
1:00 CBS: Chargers at Rams
Typical early terrible September and October start for the Chargers. How Norv Turner is still the coach of this team boggles my mind? I think the Rams will keep it close here. 1:00 will be an early start for the Chargers and I expect them to be sluggish. Chargers still win in the end. Chargers 20 Rams 17.
1:00 CBS: Ravens at Patriots
A rematch of the AFC Wildcard beat down the Ravens gave the Patriots last playoffs. I expect the Ravens to come into New England again and beat the Pats. I expect a big day from Aquan Boldin. Ravens 30 Patriots 23.
1:00 FOX: Saints at Buccaneers
Saints bounce back in a big way, and finally look like the team they were last year. Saints 30 Buccaneers 14.
1:00 FOX: Lions at Giants
Lions are playing much better. But it’s a road game so they will lose. Closer than the experts think however. Giants 28 Lions 23.
1:00 FOX: Falcons at Eagles
I think Kevin Kolb will play this game. He played well last week and I expect it to continue. Eagles 24 Falcons 20.
1:00 CBS: Browns at Steelers
So when Mike Holmgren drafted Colt McCoy in the 3rd round in April he said McCoy would not start a game in 2010. Well so much for that! It will be a long day for McCoy. Plus it’s the return of Big Ben and I expect him to play very well. Steelers 27 Browns 10.
It will be a long day for Colt McCoy in his first NFL start.
1:00 CBS: Chiefs at Texans
It’s clear that Kase’s boy Andre Johnson, aka AJ, is not close to being healthy right now. So I think Houston will have to rely heavily on Arian Foster to beat the Chiefs. And it will work. A big day for Foster and a big day for Houston. Houston 31 Chiefs 20.
4:05 CBS: Raiders at 49ers
Until San Francisco wins I will always pick against them. Raiders 27 49ers 23.
4:05 CBS: Jets at Broncos
I’ll take the Jets on the road here. Mark Sanchez plays well, and the Jets defense makes it a living nightmare for Kyle Orton when he is out there. Jets 27 Broncos 17.
4:15 FOX: Cowboys at Vikings
Colin Cowherd said it best. When have you ever looked more forward to a matchup between two 1-3 teams? The loser is certainly in trouble, but I don’t think they are necessarily dead. I think Minnesota needs another week to figure out what their identity is. Cowboys bounce back and beat Minnesota 31-20.
8:20 NBC: Colts at Redskins
Peyton Manning in primetime in the regular season means the Colts will win. Washington will play tough, but the Colts are just too good. Colts 23 Redskins 14.
Monday October 18th
8:30 ESPN: Titans at Jaguars
I’ll be very interested to see how this lackluster NFL matchup on ESPN does in the ratings against the Game 3 of the ALCS between the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees on TBS. For baseball’s sake they should at least tie the NFL in the rankings. I’m willing to bet they don’t. As for this game I will take the Titans to beat Jacksonville 20-17.
I'm going to say more Americans watch the Titans vs Jaguars Monday on ESPN than Game 3 of the ALCS between the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees.
