I did not make any predictions on Thursday night football. The Seattle Seahawks stomped the Philadelphia Eagles 31-14. The Philadelphia Eagles needed to have an outstanding offensive day. They didn't. Vince Young threw four interceptions. DeSean Jackson was jogging through routes as he continued to pout. The Eagles defense needed to step up and shut down an average Seahawks offense. Marshawn Lynch average more than six yards a carry and saw the end zone twice. Now, the calls for firing Andy Reid have grown louder. Is the problem Andy Reid? Is the problem throwing in so many free agents and a new defensive system/coordinator when you didn't have a real off-season? All I can say is that the performance that we all saw on Thursday night was awful. A professional football team should be more competitive.

Tennessee Titans versus Buffalo Bills – In my opinion, the Buffalo Bills are done. They've had several key injuries, making it difficult for them to perform at the same level they did at the beginning of the season. Chris Johnson has finally started playing well for the Tennessee Titans. The Titans offensive line is finally opening up holes. I look for Tennessee to win this one.

Kansas City Chiefs versus Chicago Bears – Chicago has been able to run the ball the last five or six weeks. Their defense has come alive. Not much is happening from the Kansas City Chiefs. They've been devastated by injuries. Chicago.

Atlanta Falcons versus Houston Texans – this should be one of the best games today. The Houston Texans desperately need to have some decent quarterback play. Matt Ryan has been playing extremely well the last couple of weeks. This game is being played in Texas. The key to this game is whether the defense of the Houston Texans can control the offense of the Atlanta Falcons. I think this game is going to be close. I think Matt Ryan is going to make just enough plays to push Atlanta over the top.

Oakland Raiders versus Miami Dolphins – I think this is going to be another good game. Darren McFadden's return is questionable. He really makes the Oakland offense run. Miami's defense has been playing pretty well the last several weeks. Miami just needs a little bit more play from Matt Moore. I'm going to pick Miami in this one.

Denver Broncos versus Minnesota Vikings – I've picked against Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos each of the last three weeks. The bottom line is that Tim Tebow and the Denver offense have not turned the ball over. The Denver defense has been incredibly good. Von Miller is hurt. He may not play. Yet, I think that the Denver defense will make enough plays to keep the game close. If the game is close in the fourth quarter, Tim Tebow and that offense will somehow figure out a way to win. I just don't see Minnesota racking up that many points. Denver wins.

Indianapolis Colts versus New England Patriots – I don't think any prolonged discussion is needed. New England wins.

Cincinnati Bengals versus Pittsburgh Steelers – Pittsburgh played a very ugly game on Monday night. I think that Pittsburgh will play much better against the Bengals. In order for the Bengals to win, Andy Dalton is going to have to make several big plays down the field. I think Pittsburgh's secondary can hold up. Cincinnati will stop the run, but will have a hard time keeping up with Ben Roethlishberger. I think the Steelers can win this one at home.

Carolina Panthers versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers – the Carolina Panthers are playing a little bit better every week. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing a little bit worse every week. Cam Newton desperately needs a good number two receiver. Defenses are going to try to take away Steve Smith, who's having one of his best years as a pro. If the Panthers are able to crank up their running game, and I think they can, they're going to be hard to stop. Carolina Panthers.

New York Jets versus Washington Redskins – It is possible for the Washington Redskins to win this game. The New York Jets have seemed to limp along throughout the year. Mark Sanchez does not seem to be making the progress that we all had hoped for. The Jets running game has been mediocre at best. For the first time all year, Revis Island had been invaded. Knucklehead Stevie Johnson from the Buffalo Bills really had a good day against Revis. The Washington Redskins seem to be offensively challenged. Will we see the good Rex Grossman or the bad Rex Grossman this week? I know that some are picking the Washington Redskins for an upset. I do think that this game will be close, but I think the Jets will put out in the end.

Afternoon games
Baltimore Ravens versus Cleveland Browns – Baltimore

Dallas Cowboys versus Arizona Cardinals – I think it was about two years ago when the Dallas Cowboys' season unraveled in Arizona. So it is clearly possible for the Dallas Cowboys to lose this game. First of all, we cannot let Patrick Peterson take one to the house. He has won two or three games for the Arizona Cardinals this year. Larry Fitzgerald is still one of the best receivers in the league. He can kill the Dallas Cowboys. The secondary for the Dallas Cowboys has been suspect all year. Michael Jenkins, just coming back from a hamstring injury, may not be up to speed. He's going to need a lot of help with Fitzgerald. On offense, I think the Cowboys should be able move the ball but must avoid stupid penalties (at which we excel) and turning the ball over. The Cowboys by a touchdown or more.

Green Bay Packers versus New York Giants – Eli Manning will test the secondary of the Green Bay Packers. He's going to have to be extremely careful. Green Bay has snagged more than 20 interceptions so far this season. The New York Giants, in my opinion, need to revamp their offensive line. They just aren't opening the holes in the running game that they used to. Brandon Jacobs needs to be cut. He is not the punishing runner that he was two years ago. The Giants' secondary was completely exposed against the New Orleans Saints last week. I just don't see how they will be able to keep up with Aaron Rodgers and all of his receivers. Green Bay wins.

St. Louis Rams versus San Francisco 49ers – 49ers should win this one easily.

Sunday Night Football
Detroit Lions versus New Orleans Saints – the New Orleans Saints love quarterbacks who are somewhat careless with football. Their defense feeds on turnovers. Look for them to have a feast tonight. I look for Drew Brees to have plenty of time to throw the football. New Orleans by seven or more.

Monday Night Football
San Diego Chargers versus Jacksonville Jaguars – This is probably the worst Monday Night Football game of the year. Neither one of these teams has anything to play for. The head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars has been fired. Norv Turner is on the hot seat for the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers defense has been mediocre. The Jacksonville Jaguars offense has been less than mediocre. Blaine Gabbert has been awful. I think that San Diego will pull out a victory in what will be an ugly and boring Monday Night Football game.
