The Vikings are excellent at stopping the run as well

Bears 31 Browns 27Seattle Seahawks Dallas Cowboys Dallas came away with an impressive victory last week that was a much needed statement game as well This game is critical in keeping the momentum going. Seattle is missing their best linebacker, and their best running back is dinged up. They will need to pass to win, which isn't easy against the Cowboys cornerbacks. Cowboys 38 Seahawks 27Miami Dolphins New York JetsMiami stopped the Jets winning ways just three weeks ago.

After dropping another two games, the Jets won big last week. It should be another close game between these two rivals.Jets 24 Miami 21 San Francisco 49ers Indianapolis ColtsThe 49ers lost last week, but quarterback Alex Smith may have won the confidence of his teammates The Colts are undefeated and getting healthy. Even if Smith repeats last week performance, it will be hard for the 49ers secondary to stop the Colts passing attack all game.Colts 34 49ers 23New York Giants Philadelphia EaglesThough the Eagles won last week, they did not look much sharper than the team that lost to Oakland two weeks ago. The lack of running game has proven to be this teams Achilles heel for years, and it has been in the spotlight even more this year. The Giants realize they need to get back on track after two weeks of consecutive losses.

Expect the Giants to pound the ball on the ground, while Philly tries to exploit a suspect Giants secondary.Giants 23 Eagles 21Saint Louis Rams Detroit LionsIt is too bad these teams cannot face each other more this season They would win more if they did. Detroit appears ready to go with Culpepper at quarterback this week, and possibly the entire season. Though both teams have veteran quarterbacks, I expect this game to be won on the ground. Steven Jackson will carry the Rams to one of their few victories this week.Rams 28 Lions 24Oakland Raiders San DiegoChargersThe Raiders have been as inconsistent as their young quarterback JaMarcus Russell. After controlling the Eagles two weeks ago, they were pulverized by the Jets last week. If the Bolts do not get it going this week, they may never get anywhere this year.Chargers 48 Raiders 24Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee TitansThe Titans are still without a win, and owner Bud Adams has ordered coach Jeff Fisher to start Vince Young at quarterback over veteran Kerry Collins. Though Fisher realizes the problem isn't just at quarterback, expect him to comply The Jaguars handed the Titans a 20 point loss a month ago.

Expect a similar strategy, but something tells me Fisher has a plan this time.Titans 23 Jaguars17Minnesota Vikings Green Bay PackersGame Of The WeekAs I told you the first time these teams met a few weeks ago, this is the game to watch. Not only is it the return of a certain Hyckocrite to Lambeau Field for the first time as a visiting player, but both teams have developed their personalities more since the first meeting. The Packers have had trouble running the ball this year, even with Ryan Grant's 148 yards versus Cleveland last week. The Vikings are excellent at stopping the run as well.Expect the Packers to air it out against a depleted Vikings secondary, while the Vikings attack them with a balanced attack. Though the focus seems to be on quarterback in Minnesota, the main reason they win is by running the ball, controlling the clock and field position. This game will be a prime example of that, assuming their quarterback doesn't cough up the ball and victory as he did last week.Vikings 34 Packers 31Carolina Panthers Arizona CardinalsThe Panthers have been a disappointment so far. Their passing attack is nearly non existent, and their running game is not at full strength with Jon Stewart battling injuries.
