New York at New Orleans
The only battle between undefeated teams this week. We're going to see what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. The Saints offense and the Jets defense are the best respectively in the NFL. Both teams keep their quarterbacks protected, while pestering the opposing team's passer. The numbers tell me the Saints defense is slightly better than the Jets offense, especially with a +4 takeover edge, while the Jets are +3. It will be tight, but the Saints prevail. Final score 24-21 New Orleans.
Buffalo at Miami
Both teams come into this game reeling from tough losses. The Dolphins lost quarterback Chad Pennington for the season, and look to backup Chad Henne for the rest of the way. The offenses for both teams have gained about the same number of yards, while Buffalo's allowed about 60 more per game. I don't like the Bill's offensive line, as they've allowed Trent Edwards to be hit 29 times this season, and the Dolphins have turned the ball over far too often, -6 differential. I'm partial to the Bills, only because of the loss of Pennington. Final score 17-14 Buffalo.
Dallas at Denver
Denver might be the worst 3-0 team in league history, but they've been doing it with defense. The Broncos have 10 sacks and a +6 turnover differential, even if its against inferior competition those are impressive numbers. Can Dallas beat them? Yes. But their defense has allowed on average one hundred seventy more yards per game, while their offense has gained only about 50 additional yards per game. Final score 20-13 Denver.
