1. Indianapolis Colts – Don’t be fooled by the bad loss last week to the Jacksonville Jaguars nor the Chiefs impressive 3-0 record. The Colts will win this game by at least 10. They’re a much faster team at home – on both sides of the ball – and QB Matt Cassel has been horrible on the road in his time in Kansas City. This is an easy choice in your suicide pool.
2. Cincinnati Bengals - While their loss at Cleveland was disappointing last week, they did re-discover some semblance of a passing game. This will carry over to this week and the Bengals will both run and pass on the Bucs at home. Defensively, look for them to bear down on QB Josh Freeman and force the 2nd year starter into a few turnovers.
3. Dallas Cowboys - Dallas is refreshed after the week off and looked very good in dismantling the Texans prior to the bye. The Titans are coming off a bad loss to the Broncos which saw them give up 10 points in the final two minutes to lose 26-20. Defensively, we like the Cowboys to take RB Chris Johnson out of the game (he may break a long one but won’t be running wild all day) and put the game in Vince Young’s hands. Offensively, Tony Romo and Co. should have little trouble putting 28 on the board.
Teams that are no sure thing
Philadelphia Eagles - The 0-4 Niners are reeling but the Eagles have their own problems at present too. And this is on the road.
Atlanta Falcons – The Browns have been in every game and raise their level of play at home. This will be close.
New York Jets - WR Randy Moss changes the entire complexion of this game. The Vikings are more than capable of stealing it now.
