Back to back losses, and a player calling out his coach have helped make it a very rough week in Foxboro. Are the Patriots falling apart? Or will they rally and get back into the win column? We will have to wait and see.
Here are this weeks picks.
Patriots 24 Panthers 16
The Pats will get a win, put it will be yet another unimpressive performance - on both sides of the ball. If they don't win, then wheels could fall off the wagon. At this point the Patriots season looks pretty clear. Win the division, host a game on wild card weekend, and maybe get to the second round at best.
Saints 34 Falcons 10
It doesn't matter if Matt Ryan plays or not, because the Saints look like a team of destiny. Unlike last week, Drew Brees will not have pull out a miracle win. The Saints will remain unbeaten.
Packers 30 Bears 17
Aaron Rodgers and the Pack were fortunate to win last week against the Ravens, committing a ton of penalties and turnovers. They will be sharper this week. A division game against hated rival, gives the Pack plenty of reasons to stay motivated. The Packers make it five wins in a row.
Colts 34 Bronces 24
The Colts make it 22 consecutive regular season wins - breaking a record held by the New England Patriots. A win over the Broncos will also secure the top seed for the Colts in the playoffs. Could we see two undefeated teams in the Super Bowl?
Bills 17 Chiefs 13
The Bills can't score, but the Chiefs are terrible on defense. The Bills will do just enough on offense to get the win.
Vikings 28 Bengals 13
Brett Favre and the Vikings will bounce back after a poor performance last time out against the Cardinals. Adrian Peterson is also due for a big game. After gaining only 19 yards against the Cards, Peterson is a good bet to crack the century mark this week.
Jets 20 Buccaneers 13
The Jets are getting right back into the playoff picture. Thomas Jones will get a ton of carries, and Kellen Clemens will not be much of a down grade from Mark Sanchez, as the Jets will make it three straight wins.
Jaguars 21 Dolphins 17
Chad Henne will come crashing back down to earth after last weeks big game against New England. The Jaguars will take a huge step towards the playoffs, but too bad nobody will be there to see it. The game figures to be blacked out once again.
Ravens 33 Lions 21
The Ravens have been unpredictable this year. One week they look good, the next terrible. After a horrid performance on MNF against the Packers, it is time for Joe Flacco to step it up. He will, and the Ravens will get the win.
Seahawks 22 Texans 20
The disappointing season for the Texans will continue. Texans coach Gary Kubiak looks to be out of a job at the end of this season.
Titans 27 Rams 10
The Titans will start a new winning streak, and the Rams are the perfect opponent to help get it started. The Titans get the win, and stay in the discussion for the post season.
Redskins 31 Raiders 14
It is time the Redskins catch a break. After playing playoff teams like the Eagles and Saints tough, the Redskins will take out some frustration against the Raiders.
Chargers 38 Cowboys 21
Wade Phillips might want to rethink his statement that the Cowboys are a "team of winners" after this week. The Chargers will make it eight straight wins with an impressive win in Dallas.
Giants 24 Eagles 21
Just when it looked like the Giants were all but done, New York will find a way to get back into the race for the NFC East. The G-men will make it two wins in two weeks over division rivals, having beaten the Cowboys the week before.
Cardinals 34 49ers 13
Kurt Warner looked great against the Vikings, finding Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin all game long. The 49ers simply do not have the weapons to keep up with the Cardinals.
