| Kansas City Chiefs 13, San Diego Chargers 31 | ||
 | 27 | The Chargers have lost three straight, and the Chiefs are a disaster. Bet the NFL Network loves having this game. The Chargers have scored one offensive touchdown in the last six quarters. But the Chiefs are the perfect tonic to solve their problems. Matt Cassel starts for Brady Quinn. Oh, boy. Result: San Diego Chargers 31, Kansas City Chiefs 13 |

| Denver Broncos 31, Cincinnati Bengals 23 | ||
 | 23 | The Broncos are riding high, but this is a tough game against a team coming off a bye. The Bengals must win here to have a chance to win the division. The one thing the Bengals can do is rush the quarterback, which is a must against Peyton Manning. This one smells like an upset. Result: Cincinnati Bengals 23, Denver Broncos 31 |
 | 17 | |
| Baltimore Ravens 25, Cleveland Browns 15 | ||
 | 21 | This is a be-careful game for the Ravens. They are coming off a bye, so they should be rested. But that defense has really struggled. The Browns are getting better and they have improved on defense. I look for the Browns to pull off the upset against a Ravens team that is struggling. Result: Cleveland Browns 15, Baltimore Ravens 25 |
 | 20 | |
| Arizona Cardinals 17, Green Bay Packers 31 | ||
 | 27 | The Cardinals can't do anything on offense. The line is horrible and it doesn't matter who plays quarterback. The Packers have Clay Matthews. That's a bad thing for the Cardinals. The Packers had trouble moving the ball on the Jaguars last week, but they will do fine here. Result: Green Bay Packers 31, Arizona Cardinals 17 |
 | 10 | |
| Buffalo Bills 9, Houston Texans 21 | ||
 | 30 | Both teams are coming off a bye. The Bills have to hope they improved on defense during their week off. If not, this will be a long day. And I think it will. The Texans will run at will against a Buffalo defense that has trouble stopping it. The Texans win big. Result: Houston Texans 21, Buffalo Bills 9 |
 | 17 | |
| Miami Dolphins 20, Indianapolis Colts 23 | ||
 | 20 | This is a big game. Can you believe it? Both these teams would be in the playoffs if they started today. The winner has a real chance. The Dolphins are playing consecutive road games, which is tough. But they are so good on defense that, even with Ryan Tannehill dinged up, they find a way. He gets the first one over Andrew Luck. Result: Miami Dolphins 20, Indianapolis Colts 23 |
 | 17 | |
| Detroit Lions 31, Jacksonville Jaguars 14 | ||
 | 31 | The Lions might have saved their season with that late touchdown against the Seahawks. Now they go on the road against a non-conference team that played better last week at Green Bay. The Jaguars don't have the people to match up with Calvin Johnson the way Seattle did. That could make for a big day for the Lions passing game. Result: Detroit Lions 31, Jacksonville Jaguars 14 |
 | 21 | |
| Chicago Bears 51, Tennessee Titans 20 | ||
 | 24 | The Bears sleepwalked through their game with the Panthers, and it almost cost them. The offensive line was a mess. But the Titans really struggle on defense. I look for a big game from Brandon Marshall while the Bears shut down Chris Johnson. Result: Chicago Bears 51, Tennessee Titans 20 |
 | 13 | |
| Carolina Panthers 21, Washington Redskins 13 | ||
 | 37 | This should be fun to watch with Cam Newton vs. Robert Griffin III, two mobile quarterbacks with big arms. But the Panthers are playing consecutive road games, which is tough to do. The Redskins have problems on defense, but I think this is about both offenses playing big. Result: Washington Redskins 13, Carolina Panthers 21 |
 | 31 | |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers 42, Oakland Raiders 32 | ||
 | 24 | The Bucs are playing better on offense, but going to the West Coast is tough -- even if it is just the Raiders. Josh Freeman and his passing game have come to life the past couple of weeks and I think that continues. The Bucs take it. Result: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 42, Oakland Raiders 32 |
 | 20 | |
| Minnesota Vikings 20, Seattle Seahawks 30 | ||
 | 21 | The Vikings have lost two of their last three games and now must re-group against a good Seattle defense. Christian Ponder needs to get it going for the Vikings. Seattle is a much better team at home. After a tough loss at Detroit, they bounce back here. But it won't be easy. Result: Seattle Seahawks 30, Minnesota Vikings 20 |
 | 17 | |
| Pittsburgh Steelers 24, NY Giants 20 | ||
 | 28 | This is a quarterback-pass rusher game. It's Ben Roethlisberger vs. Eli Manning. It's the Steelers edge rushers trying to outdo Jason Pierre-Paul and his gang. So who gets the better of it? I like the Giants offensive line a little better, so Manning will have more shots. That will be the difference. Result: NY Giants 20, Pittsburgh Steelers 24 |
 | 23 | |
| Dallas Cowboys 13, Atlanta Falcons 19 | ||
 | 27 | The Cowboys are coming off a tough division loss to the Giants, while the Falcons impressed in winning at Philadelphia. The Atlanta passing game is impressive and that will show up here. Look for a big game from Matt Ryan has he continues his MVP-like roll. Result: Atlanta Falcons 19, Dallas Cowboys 13 |
 | 21 | |
| Monday, Nov. 5, 2012 | ||
| Philadelphia Eagles 13, New Orleans Saints 28 | ||
 | 37 | This is a battle of two disappointing teams, but the Eagles still have some playoff hopes. The Saints are all but done. This could be the end of the Mike Vick era in Philly. Then again, the way the Saints play defense, it might revitalize it. New Orleans can't stop anybody. This is a track meet. Result: Philadelphia Eagles 13, New Orleans Saints 28 |
