Minnesota at Pittsburgh
This is probably the best game on the slate this week. Both teams have created many red zone chances for themselves, while limiting their opponents opportunities. And they've allowed their quarterbacks to take too many hits. In the end the biggest difference is turnover differential. Minnesota is +8, while the Steelers are -5. That tips the scale to the Vikings, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers win, considering the return of Troy Polamalu. Final score 24-21 Minnesota.
New England at Tampa Bay
I don't expect the Londonites to see a competitive game here. It seems that Tom Brady is back, and Bill Belichik is keeping his foot on the gas for a full 60 minutes again. The biggest difference is the yards per game stats. The Patriots have gained on average 130 more per game, while the Bucs have allowed 80 more per game. It should be a blowout. Final score 45-7 New England.
New York Jets at Oakland
The Jets head into this game following a tough loss to Buffalo, while the Raiders are soaring after their win against the Eagles. I don't see the momentum lasting for either side. I think the Raiders will keep it close, but they've gained 100 fewer yards per game, while allowing a whopping 25 red zone chances this season. Final score 20-13 New York.
