Talk about two teams with disappointing seasons. The Bills and the Titans would top most lists. However, since the change to Vince Young the Titans have been very competitive, and have won their previous two games. On the other side of the ball, the Bills are coming off their bye week. The Titans are much better in the red zone and at protecting the quarterback. Final score 24-14 Tennessee.
New Orleans at St. Louis
This game should even be close, and St. Louis is home coming off of a bye. Their offense just won't be able to maintain a scoring race with the Saints, very few teams are. The Rams have scored just four red zone touchdowns this season, while the Saints have scored more than six times that number. Also, the Rams are -11 in the turnover department, while the Saints are +8. Final score 38-14 New Orleans.
Tampa Bay at Miami
The battle of southern Florida! This could actually be a close game. Tampa Bay played a very solid game last week with Josh Freeman at quarterback. The numbers are actually very similar between these teams. The major difference is in the red zone. The Dolphins are much more proficient at scoring offensively, and preventing touchdowns defensively. It should be close, but the Dolphins will win. Final score 24-17 Miami.
Detroit at Minnesota
A divisional game featuring teams on either end of the NFC North. This should be a blowout. The Lions have done a poor job at protecting the quarterback, while the Vikings have been excellent at creating pressure. Minnesota is much better in the red zone and are +5 in turnovers, while the Lions are -7. Minnesota should win this handily. Final score 45-21 Minnesota.
