| Miami Dolphins 14, Buffalo Bills 19 | ||
 | 24 | The Dolphins have lost two straight to put a damper on their playoff hopes. Buffalo is out of it, too. The Dolphins ran all over the Bills late last season. So many teams have done that this season, so look for more of that. Miami stays alive with a road victory. Result: Miami Dolphins 14, Buffalo Bills 19 |

| Arizona Cardinals 19, Atlanta Falcons 23 | ||
 | 28 | The Falcons will be coming off a loss for the first time this season. How do they react? Arizona is coming off a bye. They have major offensive-line issues, which isn't a good thing against an Atlanta team that plays with the lead a lot. Look for the Falcons to get after John Skelton. Result: Atlanta Falcons 23, Arizona Cardinals 19 |
 | 17 | |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27, Carolina Panthers 21 | ||
 | 33 | This shapes up to be a fun offensive game. Both teams have issues on defense and the offenses can score. This is a huge game for the Bucs, who are in the thick of the playoff chase. But something says Cam Newton bounces back from a bad game against the Broncos to beat the Bucs. Result: Carolina Panthers 21, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27 |
 | 31 | |
| Cleveland Browns 20, Dallas Cowboys 23 | ||
 | 27 | The Cowboys might have turned their season around with the fourth-quarter play against the Eagles. Now they have to carry it over against a team they should beat at home. The Browns have improved. But this is a big task against a team that might be ready to surge. Look for the Cowboys to get after Brandon Weeden. Result: Dallas Cowboys 23, Cleveland Browns 20 |
 | 14 | |
| Green Bay Packers 24, Detroit Lions 20 | ||
 | 40 | This could be the last stand for the Lions to make a playoff push. It won't be easy. They struggle on the back end and the Packers can light up a scoreboard. Green Bay is coming off a bye, so they are rested. I think the Packers are ready to roll. Aaron Rodgers kills the Lions. Result: Green Bay Packers 24, Detroit Lions 20 |
 | 29 | |
| Jacksonville Jaguars 37, Houston Texans 43 | ||
 | 31 | This could be ugly. The Texans are the best team in the NFL, while the Jaguars are horrible. But Jacksonville has played better on the road and its history against Houston will help. ... Ah, forget it. The Texans own them in this one. Result: Houston Texans 43, Jacksonville Jaguars 37 |
 | 14 | |
| Cincinnati Bengals 28, Kansas City Chiefs 6 | ||
 | 27 | The Chiefs looked good against the Steelers, but a lack of quarterback play got them again. The Bengals really impressed against the Giants and appear ready to play some good football. This won't be easy, but I think the Bengals make enough plays down the field with A.J. Green to win it. Result: Cincinnati Bengals 28, Kansas City Chiefs 6 |
 | 20 | |
| NY Jets 27, St. Louis Rams 13 | ||
 | 23 | The Jets are playing a second successive road game. Does it matter where they play? The offense is inept. The Rams came alive in their tie against the 49ers. Can they keep it rolling? Nothing like the Jets to help keep it going. Rams take it. Result: St. Louis Rams 13, NY Jets 27 |
 | 18 | |
| Philadelphia Eagles 6, Washington Redskins 31 | ||
 | 37 | The Eagles will give Nick Foles his first start because of the injury to Mike Vick. Making your first start on the road is tough. But the Redskins really struggle on defense. The Eagles don't rush the passer, which means Robert Griffin III should have success throwing it as well. This should be fun. Too bad it means nothing. Result: Washington Redskins 31, Philadelphia Eagles 6 |
 | 27 | |
| New Orleans Saints 38, Oakland Raiders 17 | ||
 | 38 | The Saints have turned their season around and are really in the playoff race. It's all because of Drew Brees. He has to be so excited to play the Raiders defense. That unit is horrible. Look for the Saints to keep flying high here. Result: New Orleans Saints 38, Oakland Raiders 17 |
 | 20 | |
| Indianapolis Colts 24, New England Patriots 59 | ||
 | 33 | Can you believe this is one of the games of the week? The Colts are playing back-to-back road games, but they will have 10 days in between. This is a chance for the Colts to show they are for real. The Patriots defense has struggled, but I think they handle this young Colts team. Tom Brady outplays Andrew Luck. Result: New England Patriots 59, Indianapolis Colts 24 |
 | 23 | |
| San Diego Chargers 23, Denver Broncos 30 | ||
 | 31 | When these two teams met a month ago, the Chargers blew a 24-point halftime lead. Since then, the Broncos have surged and the Chargers have struggled. This is the Chargers' chance to get back in the race. Too bad they don't have the team to do it. Peyton Manning lights them up again. Result: Denver Broncos 30, San Diego Chargers 23 |
 | 21 | |
| Baltimore Ravens 13, Pittsburgh Steelers 10 | ||
 | 28 | This is a huge game in the AFC. The winner will be in first place in the AFC North. This used to be a physical war, but it's now more about each team's passing game. One problem: The Steelers won't have Ben Roethlisberger. Can Byron Leftwich keep up if it's a shootout? I think he can. The Steelers find a way -- even without Roethlisberger. Result: Pittsburgh Steelers 10, Baltimore Ravens 13 |
 | 23 | |
| Monday, Nov. 19, 2012 | ||
| Chicago Bears 7, San Francisco 49ers 32 | ||
 | 20 | This could be a battle of backup quarterbacks. Oh, boy. That would mean Jason Campbell vs. Colin Kaepernick. The Bears are more quarterback-centric, so I think San Francisco can handle it better. The 49ers take it. Result: San Francisco 49ers 32, Chicago Bears 7 |
