| Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Fan picks | |||
| The Bucs will start Josh Freeman in this one, which will be tough. Facing a 3-4 defense coached by Dom Capers will make for a tough go for the rookie. Look for the Packers to put up big passing numbers against a pass defense that isn't very good. Result: Green Bay Packers 28, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38 | ||||

| Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots | Fan picks | |||
| You think New England will be ready for the Wildcat this time? Bet they are. That means Chad Henne will have to play well. That's tough against the Patriots defense. New England is coming off a bye and the Dolphins are playing back-to-back road games. That's a recipe for a blowout. Result: New England Patriots 27, Miami Dolphins 17 | ||||

| Kansas City Chiefs at Jacksonville Jaguars | Fan picks | |||
| The Chiefs come off a bye against a team that was awful last week in losing to Tennessee. The Jacksonville defense hasn't played well, but the Chiefs offense is the perfect tonic. Jacksonville rebounds as they get to .500 behind the running of Maurice Jones-Drew. Result: Jacksonville Jaguars 24, Kansas City Chiefs 21 | ||||

| Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts | Fan picks | |||
| The two top-rated passing teams meet here in what should be a high-scoring game. Both quarterbacks are having big seasons and points should be plenty. If Indy wins, the division race is over. Playing a second consecutive road game is tough and it will show for the Texans. Result: Indianapolis Colts 20, Houston Texans 17 | ||||

| Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals | Fan picks | |||
| The Ravens appeared to right their defense last week against the Broncos, but Denver didn't challenge down the field. The Bengals will. They come off their bye rested and seemed to have found their passing game against Chicago the week before. Look for the Bengals to attack the Baltimore corners and stay in first place in the division. Result: Cincinnati Bengals 17, Baltimore Ravens 7 | ||||

| Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears | Fan picks | |||
| The Cardinals have played better on the road this year, but this is a tough spot. The Bears played well last week against Cleveland, but who doesn't? The Cardinals will bounce back from their disaster last week against Carolina to pull the road upset. Result: Arizona Cardinals 41, Chicago Bears 21 | ||||

| Washington Redskins at Atlanta Falcons | Fan picks | |||
| The Falcons get a little bit of reprieve from the tough part of their schedule with the Redskins coming to town. Atlanta showed Monday night it could play with the best teams in the league. Washington can't. Even on a short week, look for the Falcons to bounce back from two consecutive losses in a big way. Result: Atlanta Falcons 31, Washington Redskins 17 | ||||

| Detroit Lions at Seattle Seahawks | Fan picks | |||
| This is the crummy game of the week. Excited about it? Didn't think so. The Seahawks have been a major flop, while the Lions are simply building to something. So who wins it? I get a feeling the Seahawks get it right against Detroit. Result: Seattle Seahawks 32, Detroit Lions 20 | ||||

| Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints | Fan picks | |||
| The Panthers won at Arizona last week, but playing back-to-back road games is tough. Going to New Orleans against the best team in the NFC makes it even tougher. The Panthers picked off Kurt Warner five times last week, but Drew Brees gets them here. Saints big. Result: New Orleans Saints 30, Carolina Panthers 20 | ||||
Make your picks | ||||
| Tennessee Titans at San Francisco 49ers | Fan picks | |||
| The Titans came out of their bye week and played well against the Jaguars. Chris Johnson ran wild. Now Vince Young has to make his first road start of the season against a pretty good defense. The 49ers are glad to be back home after two road losses. They play that way. Result: San Francisco 49ers 27, Tennessee Titans 34 | ||||

| San Diego Chargers at NY Giants | Fan picks | |||
| This is a must-have game for the Giants. Three consecutive losses have them reeling. The Chargers have a long trip here against a desperate team. That's tough going, but the Giants struggle against the pass and Philip Rivers has been outstanding. Even so, the Giants find a way. Result: NY Giants 20, San Diego Chargers 21 | ||||
Make your picks | ||||
| Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles | Fan picks | |||
| First place in the NFC East is on the line here. Both teams seem to have hit stride on offense, which could mean a lot of points. Tony Romo has to show his three-game hot streak can continue. It won't be easy against that Philly defense, but the Cowboys keep it close. Result: Philadelphia Eagles 16, Dallas Cowboys 20 | ||||

| Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos | Fan picks | |||
| Denver suffered its first loss of the season last week, and must now regroup against a Steelers team coming off a bye. The Steelers throw the football well, while the Broncos don't. That will be the difference here. Result: Pittsburgh Steelers 28, Denver Broncos 10 | ||||
