worrisome, the Jets can play the style of defense that the Steelers and Giants employed against them. Look for Brady to have a long evening and for Sanchez and Co. to do enough on offense to pull out the win by a FG.

2. Pittsburgh Steelers (-3) vs. Cin – The Bengals are an amazing story over the 1st half of the season, but they’re going to be tested on Sunday. The Steelers are mad after blowing a game they had vs. the Ravens and Roethlisberger’s play will be the difference in this one.
Both defenses are excellent so don’t expect a high scoring game.
3. St Louis Rams (+3) vs. Cle – See Money Line Bet.
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (-3) vs. Ind – The Colts took firm control in the race QB Andrew Luck. And they’re not trying to relinquish it. Look for the well rested Jags to come into Indy and pull out the TD win.
The Rest
Houston Texans (-3) vs. TB – The Texans are on a roll and have been pounding mediocre teams lately. The Bucs are a mediocre team, so this bodes well for them on Sunday.
Seattle Seahawks (+7) vs. Bal – The Ravens are ripe for a letdown here. They’ve done it twice this season and are coming off an emotional last second win in Pittsburgh. The Seahawks, for as bad as they are, might catch them napping on Sunday.
Miami Dolphins (-4) vs. Was – The Dolphins convincing win over the Chiefs temporarily halted the Andrew Luck talk, and this week is another easy opponent for them. The Skins are in a tailspin and there’s still a long way down to go.
Money Line Bet
St. Louis Rams (+130) vs. Cle – The Rams should be on a two game winning streak if not for the amazing 99-yard OT punt return by Patrick Peterson last week. This week they head to Cleveland to face a Peyton Hillis-less Browns team that can’t get anything going on offense. For the Rams, WR Mark Clayton could make his return which would obviously benefit Sam Bradford.
Look for the Rams to pull out a win in a low scoring game.
