My Picks
Falcons -2 @Arizona – Arizona
*Michael Turner has not played great on the road this year. If the Cardinals can stop the run and contain Turner, they will win this game.
Arizona did exactly what I thought they needed to do to win the game. Turner only had about 40 yards rushing. Matt Ryan made a few costly mistakes. Arizona won this game 30-24 behind Kurt Warner and a great performance from running back Edgerrin James.
Colts -1 @Chargers – Chargers
*The Chargers’ familiarity with Peyton Manning is vital. I am not a big fan of Philip Rivers, but I like the dynamic duo of Tomlinson and Sproles.
Chargers won this game 23-17 with a touchdown in overtime. I definitely am glad that I mentioned Sproles in my preview of this game. Sproles was the best player on the field. I also thought the crowd would be a factor. Despite Manning’s post game assertion that the crowd did not affect the Colts, the offense had several penalties in the first half.
Ravens -3 @Dolphins – Ravens
*Usually, I would go with the better quarterback, Chad Pennington of the Dolphins, but I still believe in the Ravens’ defense. Safety Ed Reed always makes big plays.
Behind a stifling defense, the Ravens won this game 27-9. Ed Reed made two huge interceptions. The Dolphins seemed like they were going to make a comeback, but Pennington fumbled a hand-off on a reverse. That play stopped a potential touchdown drive. The Titans are in real trouble against these Ravens next week.
Eagles -3 @Vikings – Eagles
*The Eagles have a huge advantage at quarterback, and surprisingly, the Eagles have a better group of wide receivers and pass catching running backs.
The Eagles won this game 26-14. Donovan McNabb was not great today. The Eagles really made a lot of mistakes, but they were clearly the best team on the field. In the 2nd half, the big play was 71 yard touchdown on a screen pass to Brian Westbrook.
