The Pats are off to Buffalo to try to get their first road win, and the Saints look to remain perfect, headlining week 15 in the NFL.

Here are this weeks picks.

Patriots 21 Bills 10

This is a must win for the Patriots, and for once the Pats will come through on the road. Once again it won't be pretty, but the simple fact is that New England has owned Buffalo the past few years. It will now be 13 straight wins for the Patriots against the Bills.

Saints 33 Cowboys 24

The Saints will keep pace with Colts and remain unbeaten. Wade Phillips may be on his way out, as yet another December fade by the Cowboys has his job in jeopardy.

Cardinals 42 Lions 7

Embarrassed by their sloppy play on MNF, look for the Cardinals to come out firing on Sunday. The Cards had seven turnovers against the 49ers. They could score seven touchdowns this week, even with Larry Fitzgerald possibly out with a knee injury.

Titans 16 Dolphins 13

The Titans will do the Patriots a favor, and hand the Dolphins a tough loss. The loss will all but eliminate the Dolphins from the AFC East race. Incredibly the Titans will get back to the five hundred mark at 7-7 with the win, and in the race for a wild card spot.

Falcons 22 Jets 17

The Jets have managed to stay in the race, despite sub par play at the QB position. Mark Sanchez may be back, but he has struggled lately. Look for a few interceptions by Sanchez to haunt the Jets, as a chance at a playoff spot may have come to an end for New York.

Eagles 30 49ers 13

The Eagles are starting to look like a dangerous team. Behind a potent offense the Eagles will make it five straight wins, and put themselves in great position to lock up the NFC East title.

Chargers 28 Bengals 21

The Bengals will rally around their fallen teammate Chris Henry, and play the Chargers tough, but in the end the Chargers will pull out the win. The win will put the Chargers in the playoffs, and put them in great position to get the second seed in the AFC.

Steelers 27 Packers 24

The Steelers will finally end their five game losing streak, and play like a defending Super Bowl champ. Even with win however, the playoffs are still likely out of reach for the Steelers.

Chiefs 9 Browns 6

Can the Browns ride the wave of momentum after last weeks shocking upset of the Steelers? Probably not. Give the Chiefs the win at home in this dreadful match up.

Texans 34 Rams 13

The Texans played well against the Seahawks last week, a sign that they have not quit despite being all but eliminated from the post season. Add in that the Texans can finish with a winning record for the first time ever, and Houston will have plenty of motivation to beat the hapless Rams.

Broncos 38 Raiders 7

The Broncos get an easy win, and appear on the verge of getting one of the wild card spots in the AFC. How bad are things for JeMarcus Russell? Charlie Frye is getting the nod at QB over him.

Seahawks 23 Buccaneers 16

If not for the Cleveland and Kansas City game, this might have been the worst match up of the week. Josh Freeman has played poorly as of late, and with several injured players on the Tampa offense, things will not get any better this week.

Ravens 20 Bears 10

After alternating wins and loses that past eight weeks, the Ravens will finally make it two wins in a row, and stay in the post season discussion. The good news for Jay Cutler and the Bears? Only a few more weeks and the season will be over.

Vikings 31 Panthers 13

Brett Favre will return to form, throwing for a pair of scores in an easy win. The Vikings will settle into the number two seed behind the Saints in the NFC playoff picture.

Redskins 35 Giants 31

Who needs Mike Shanahan? The Redskins will take advantage of a struggling Giants defense and score over 30 points for the third straight week. With the loss, the Giants could be all but done.
