New Orleans at Miami
Right now, the Saints are one of the top two teams in the NFL. The other being Indianapolis. Unfortunately, the Dolphins have been a victim of last season's success, playing a first place schedule. Where the Saints win this game is tremendous ability to capitalize on their numerous red zone chances and turnover differential. The Dolphins have a solid defense, but they won't be able to contain the Saints all game. Final score 31-14 New Orleans.
Arizona at New York Giants
This game will be much closer than people would think at first glance. The Giants still have issues on converting their red zone chances into touchdowns, and have allowed a whopping 15 touchdowns on just 19 opportunities on defense. The difference here is yardage and turnovers. It will be close, but the G-men ultimately prevail. Final score 24-21 New York.
Philadelphia at Washington
The Redskins organization is a mess, and the Eagles are coming off an embarrassing defeat. Typically, Washington plays the Eagles tough (beat them twice last season), but I don't see a new offensive coordinator making a difference. The acquisition of Will Witherspoon should help contain Chris Cooley to a more modest game, as opposing tight ends have had their way versus the Eagles. Plus, the Birds have a huge edge in the turnover department(+7 to -4). Final score 28-13 Philadelphia
