NFL

To date, I hold an average, but respectable 7-5 record on predicting NFL matchups.

Indianapolis Colts @ St. Louis Rams

Prediction: Colts 31, Rams 10. The Indianapolis Colts continue to roll and will win easy.

Minnesota Vikings @ Pittsburg Steelers

Prediction: Steelers 28, Vikings 21. The Vikings will not go unbeaten in 2009. The Steelers are getting healthy and will slow down the Vikings running game enough to win.

New England Patriots @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Prediction: Patriots 40, Buccaneers 14. The patriots are too good for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to even give them a scare this week.

Green Bay Packers @ Cleveland Browns

Prediction: Packers 35, Browns 14. The Packers have too much offense for the Browns to remain close in this game.

Buffalo Bills @ Carolina Panthers

Prediction: Panthers 21, Bills 17. The Carolina Panthers will an ugly game.

Atlanta Falcons @ Dallas Cowboys:

Prediction: Falcons 21, Cowboys 17. The Cowboys could win this game, but the Falcons are playing better at this point in the season.

San Diego Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs

Prediction: Chargers 17, Chiefs 16. The Chiefs could win this game in a possible upset special.

New York Jets @ Oakland Raiders

Prediction: Jets 21, Raiders 13. If the Raiders had any type of offense they will win this game.

Chicago Bears @ Cincinnati Bengals

Prediction: Bengals 31 Bears 28. Palmer beats Cutler in a shootout.

New Orleans Saints @ Miami Dolphins

Prediction: Saints 28, Miami Dolphins 17. The Saints are too good.

Arizona Cardinals @ New York Giants

Prediction: Giants 31, Cardinals 27. The Giants get back on the winning track against the Cardinals.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins

Prediction: Eagles 21, Redskins 10. The Redskins are a mess right now and they’re probably looking for their next head coach behind the scene.
