As the Patriots enjoy a week off, the biggest story of week 8 will be Brett Favre's return to Green Bay as a member of the Vikings.
Packers 28 Vikings 24
Favre won round 1 against his former team, but it will be the Pack that wins round 2, as Favre makes his long awaited return to Lambeau Field. It will be strange to hear Favre get booed at his old stomping grounds, but at the end of the day the Packer faithful will have plenty to cheer about. The Pack will hand the Vikings a second straight loss and move into a first place tie with the Vikings atop the NFC North.
Eagles 27 Giants 23
After looking like one of the top teams in the NFL, the Giants are suddenly struggling, and things will not get any better this Sunday as the Eagles will hand the Giants a thrid consecutive loss. The Eagles will grab a share of first place in the NFC East with a win. Usually with first place on the line, this would be the biggest game of the day in both Philly and New York, but with the World Series going on, this game takes a back seat.
Texans 35 Bills 7
Even with Andre Johnson banged up, the Texans will roll. Don't look now, but Matt Schaub has established himself as one of top quarterbacks in the league, having thrown for over 2000 yards and 16TDs already this season.
Bears 21 Browns 3
After an embarrassing performance last week against the Bengals, the Bears' defense will dominate the Browns - just like everyone else does. Derek Anderson has a QB rating of 30.9 the last three weeks. This will be an easy week for the Bears defense.
Jets 31 Dolphins 20
Revenge will be on Rex Ryan's mind this week. After losing to the Dolphins earlier this season in Miami, expect the Jets to come out of the gate quickly and return the favor to the Dolphins in the Meadowlands. Maybe Mark Sanchez could enjoy a hot dog at the game.
Colts 42 49ers 20
The Colts will continue to show that they are the best team in the NFL, as Peyton Manning will start a new steak of 300 yard passing games against the 49ers. Alex Smith will have another chance as 49ers QB, as he will look to build off of last weeks' impressive showing against the Texans.
Cowboys 34 Seahawks 14
Tony Romo looks like he has finally found a replacement for TO in Miles Austin. Austin has been huge the last two games, and figures to be the main target again when the Cowboys face the Seahawks. After stepping up and beating the Falcons last week, Romo will once again be solid against the Seahawks.
Lions 17 Rams 3
It is ironic that these two teams face off, because the Rams look like they could join the Lions as the only other team to go 0-16. Matthew Stafford returns at QB for the Lions.
Ravens 24 Broncos 21
Coming off a bye, the Broncos will be flat. It is time for Josh McDaniels to taste defeat for the first time. It is also time for the Ravens defense to step up.
Jaguars 23 Titans 13
Is Jeff Fisher's job in jeopardy in Tennessee? It looks that way as the owner has ordered the coach to start Vince Young over Kerry Collins. Young will not be the answer either, as the Titans will remain without a win.
Chargers 40 Raiders 10
After looking okay against the Eagles a few games back, the Raiders returned to form, getting blow away by the Jets last time out. Meanwhile the Chargers played their best game of the year last week against the Chiefs. Look for the current trends to continue with these teams, as the Chargers will hand the Raiders another blowout loss.
Cardinals 38 Panthers 13
The Cardinals will build off a huge win against the Giants with an even more impressive win against the Panthers. Do you think the Panthers regret giving Jake Delhomme that huge contract extension?
Saints 38 Falcons 24
After a sloppy first half performance against the Dolphins, the Saints will be much more focused against the Falcons. The Falcons are good, but not good enough to stop the Saints.
