Show 17 picks
- “The shine's off the Giants' great start. Eli Manning's making mistakes, which could be because their receivers are having trouble getting off the line. It's thrown off the offense's timing. That should be an issue again this week...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “Matchup of the game: Outside 'backer LaMarr Woodley over the top of Giants right tackle Kareem McKenzie. Matchup of the game II: Troy Polamalu coming down into the box to stop megaback Brandon Jacobs. What a fun game this will be to watch.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “I think the Giants should give Plaxico Burress the 'Jeremy Shockey' treatment — they’re better off without him.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Giants QB Eli Manning faces a Steelers defense that sacked Ryan Fitzpatrick seven times and held him to 164 passing yards. The Steelers could be without Willie Parker, who is listed as questionable with a sprained knee. Mewelde Moore could struggle against a Giants defense that is No. 5 against the run and has allowed just two rushing touchdowns all season.”

| Tampa Bay Buccanneers @ Dallas Cowboys Final | Consensus |
|---|---|
 Tampa Bay 9, 
Dallas 13 | 53% Dallas upsetTampa Bay win |
Show 17 picks
- “You know the phrase 'all hell breaks loose?' In Dallas, a loss would make that phrase more like 'sugar and spice and everything nice,' because if the Cowboys lose, Mount Jones will erupt, followed closely by Hurricane Jerry storming the Metroplex. If the players are ever to respond, now's the week.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “The little problems are starting to pile up for the Cowboys. Their overwhelming talent had offset a lot of those issues this season -- and still can -- but this is a crucial game. They have to quit making mistakes, making dumb penalties, etc. If they're mistake-free, this is a Dallas win...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “The Cowboys have some big issues now and the injuries are really piling up.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Buccaneers QB Jeff Garcia faces a Cowboys defense that allowed Marc Bulger to complete 14 out of 19 passes, even though he passed for just 173 yards. Cowboys RB Marion Barber will test a Bucs defense that played well with the exception of a 45-yard run by Maurice Morris.”

| Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans Final | Consensus |
|---|---|
 Tennessee 31, 
Indianapolis 21 | 76% Indianapolis upsetTennessee win |
Show 17 picks
- “You read it here first: A Colts loss would end their five-year streak of division titles by putting them four games behind the Titans with nine to play -- including games against New England (home) and Pittsburgh (road) in the next two weeks.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “These are not the same Colts as we’ve been seeing for the past few years. Coincidentally, these aren’t the same Titans either.”
— Johnny Rosenstein of NCAAF on CBS Sportsline - “The Titans are clearly the NFL's best team. They've got a devastating running game with Chris Johnson and LenDale White, Kerry Collins has become an excellent decision maker at quarterback and you can't say enough about that defense...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “Colts QB Peyton Manning could struggle against a tough Titans defense that has a solid pass rush. Last week against the Chiefs, the Titans recorded three sacks and forced the Chiefs to go through three quarterbacks, knocking out Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard. Titans RB Chris Johnson could have success against a Colts defense that allowed Ryan Grant to rush for a game-high 105 yards on 31 carries.”

| Atlanta Falcons @ Philadelphia Eagles Final | Consensus |
|---|---|
 Philadelphia 27, 
Atlanta 14 | 71% Atlanta upsetPhiladelphia win |
Show 17 picks
- “With the Cowboys regressing as of late, the time is now for the Eagles to move up in the NFC East.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Love this game. Philly kid born-and-bred Matt Ryan plays on the block where his football and baseball heroes played, and he plays very, very well against Jim Johnson's bait-and-switch changeup defenses. In fact, it takes a touchdown pass from the quarterback he's watched since his freshman year in high school, Donovan McNabb, to beat back the NFL's hottest young quarterback. By the way, I wonder how many Eagles will walk across the street after the game to see Game 4 of the World Series.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “Falcons RB Michael Turner hopes to have success against an Eagles defense that held the first four opponents to 215 total rushing yards, but hasn't played well against the run since. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb faces a struggling Falcons defense. Over the last three games, the Falcons have surrendered 294, 313 and 286 passing yards, respectively.”
— Harmon Forecast of NFL picks on CBS Sportsline - “Atlanta's had a really nice start. But this one's going to be tough...”

Show 17 picks
- “The Cardinals have played well this year, but I have to take the Panthers at home in what I think will be a high-scoring game.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “If my predictions of Oakland and Arizona losing are correct, by 4 p.m. Sunday the NFL's stat of the half season will be this: Pacific and Mountain time zone teams playing in Eastern time this year will be 0-13.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “Carolina set up a perfect game plan for Drew Brees and the Saints' passing offense last week. Now they'll have to do something similar for Arizona...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “Cardinals QB Kurt Warner faces a Panthers defense that put pressure Drew Brees, forcing a sack and a number of deflected passes. Panthers QB Jake Delhomme will test a Cardinals defense, which was second in the NFL with 18 sacks before last weekend's games. If the pass rush struggles, Delhomme could have success against a secondary that has blown too many coverages.”

| San Diego Chargers @ New Orleans Saints Final | Consensus |

 San Diego 32, 
New Orleans 37 | 53% New Orleans upsetSan Diego win |
Show 17 picks
- “Should be a better offensive show than the putrid Giants-Dolphins rain game at Wembley last year, though the two poster men for this game are not at all themselves these days. Reggie Bush is back in the States recovering from arthroscopic left knee surgery Monday. LaDainian Tomlinson is trying, but his injured big toe prevents him from classic L.T.-ness. The NFL is exporting a terrific game, with two 3-4 playoff-caliber teams fighting for their playoff lives.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “OK, so the game's in London. That means both teams could be a little shaky to start. But they'll both be in the same boat...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “Drew Brees is having one of the best seasons in his career, but without Reggie Bush this offense lacks 1 or 2 game-changing plays per game, and that might be the biggest difference for the Saints.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Chargers QB Philip Rivers will test a Saints defense that played well against Oakland, but struggled against Carolina. Drew Brees could have success against a Chargers defense that lacks a consistent pass rush and allowed Trent Edwards to pass for 261 yards and a score.”

Show 17 picks
- “The Ravens' defense is going to control the outcome of this game. Baltimore should be able to run the ball with Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain, and if they take care of the ball, the defense will win it...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “The Ravens should be able to handle the Raiders at home this week.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “The Raiders fly east with all the pride and momentum of a win over the Jets. The Ravens will knock the confidence out of them, early and often.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell faces a Ravens defense that has to put more pressure on the quarterback to make up for the injuries in the secondary. Ravens RB Willis McGahee could have success against a Raiders defense that gave up 159 yards on 24 carries last week.”

| Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins Final | Consensus |

 Buffalo 16, 
Miami 25 | 88% Miami upsetBuffalo win |
Show 17 picks
- “The Bills have been consistent so far this season and as I said at the beginning of the year, Buffalo finally has a solid #1 QB in Trent Edwards.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Marcus Stroud, rightfully, is getting great ink for solidifying the Bills' defensive line, particularly against the run. But ask the Chargers why they were held to 263 yards last week in a mostly toothless performance in Orchard Park. They'll credit the unknown Kyle Williams, Stroud's linemate, for a major role in Buffalo's front-fortress...”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “It looks like teams have figured out the Dolphins' Wildcat rushing attack. Maybe the surprise element has worn off. Maybe Miami isn't executing as well. That will force Chad Pennington to throw the ball more, which hasn't worked for the Dolphins yet...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “Bills QB Trent Edwards faces a Dolphins defense that allowed Joe Flacco to post a 120.2 passer rating after he completed 17 of 23 passes for 232 yards. Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown could struggle against a Bills defense that held LaDainian Tomlinson to 41 yards on 14 carries.”

| St. Louis Rams @ New England Patriots Final | Consensus |
|---|---|
 New England 23, 
St. Louis 16 | 88% St. Louis upsetNew England win |
Show 17 picks
- “Rams RB Steven Jackson faces a Patriots defense that has been inconsistent against the run. Patriots QB Matt Cassel could struggle against a Rams defense that intercepted Brad Johnson three times, which contributed to his 45.5 passer rating.”
— Harmon Forecast of NFL picks on CBS Sportsline - “Matt Cassel just removed the doubt in my mind, and even though he still holds onto the ball too long, the Patriots looked scary last night.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “I'm saving the headline writer at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch some time on the job Sunday night. Haslett Honeymoon: History. How's that? By the way, in case you missed my Tom Brady/Matt Cassel early-career comparison Tuesday, taking Brady's first six starts and measuring them against Cassel's first six professional games, here are a few good nuggets. Record: Brady 4-2, Cassel 4-2. Passing yards: Brady 1,105, Cassel 1,095. Completion rate: Brady .632, Cassel .663. Anyone else out there still want to consider Cassel doomed?”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “I'm not convinced about the Patriots. New England's offense scored 41 points against the Broncos, but Matt Cassel doesn't look comfortable in the pocket. Whether it's the offensive line breaking down or the fact that Tom Brady was far superior at finding receivers, I don't know...”

- “This is a crucial game for the Jets. They have to keep pace with the Bills and Patriots in the AFC East. After blowing a chance to beat Oakland last week, they can't afford to overlook the Chiefs...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “Plain and simple: the Jets need this win to stay in the hunt, especially if the Pats can keep it going.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Not exactly the triumphant return to stately East Rutherford that prodigal son Herman Edwards envisioned, and there's a reason for that: The Chiefs stink, and Tyler Thigpen is playing quarterback. This one's going to be ugly.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “Last week, Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle left the game with a sprained left knee and is done for the season. Tyler Thigpen played a bit last week and could start against a Jets defense that pressured JaMarcus Russell often and forced him to throw on the run. Jets QB Brett Favre will test a Chiefs defense that gave up 123 yards on 11 passes.”

- “Jacksonville looks ready to go on a nice run. The Jags are smart on offense, run the ball well and have a tough, physical defense...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “I still think the Browns win over the Giants in week 6 was a fluke. Take the Jaguars.”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Browns QB Derek Anderson faces a Jaguars defense that has problems rushing the passer and covering in the secondary. Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew faces a Browns team that spent a lot of time, effort and money in the offseason to improve the run defense. Unfortunately, that aspect of the Browns’ defense seems to be worse than a year ago.”
— Harmon Forecast of NFL picks on CBS Sportsline - “At halftime, out of earshot of the team, Romeo Crennel walks up to offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and asks: 'Do you have any idea whatsoever what makes Derek Anderson tick?'”

- “Seriously, what is Cincinnati doing?”
— Jonathan Eckmier of NFL picks on Reinspire.net - “Bengals RB Cedric Benson will test a Texans defense that gave up just 77 rushing yards, but allowed the Lions to rush for 4.1 yards per carry. Texans QB Matt Schaub faces a Bengals defense that gave up two big plays on third down on Pittsburgh's first drive, then allowed the Steelers to score on touchdown passes in their last two drives.”
— Harmon Forecast of NFL picks on CBS Sportsline - “At some point, i expect Marvin Lewis' head to explode. Not sure when, but it's only a matter of time.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “After an 0-4 start, it's strange to think the Texans can win three straight games...”

 Washington 25,

- “Redskins RB Clinton Portis should have success against a Lions defense that gave up 150 rushing yards to the Texans last week. Lions QB Dan Orlovsky faces a Redskins secondary that held Braylon Edwards to only four catches for 58 yards.”
— Harmon Forecast of NFL picks on CBS Sportsline - “It makes no sense, picking Dan Orlovsky to win an NFL game. But I've had pretty good luck with the upset recently -- Miami over San Diego, St. Louis over Dallas -- and I've got the Washington-taking-Detroit-lightly feel here, along with the Marinelli-making-life-miserable-for-his-losers feel. Detroit will play very hard and get a few bounces, finally.”
— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “Detroit's probably played as well as it can the last two weeks, but still hasn't gotten its first win of the season. The Lions weren't able to close it out against the Vikings two weeks ago. They didn't have any turnovers and only allowed two sacks against the Texans, but were never in that game...”
— Jay Novacek of NFL picks by Jay Novacek - “As long as the ‘Skins don’t overlook the Lions like they did the Rams two weeks ago, they should win easily.”

— Peter King of NFL picks on FanNation - “Seahawks RB Maurice Morris will test a 49ers defense that held Brandon Jacobs to 69 rushing yards, but allowed two rushing touchdowns. 49ers QB J.T.
