This is possibly the game of the week. Peyton Manning and the Colts coming off the miracle comeback victory, while the Ravens took care of business against the Browns. The Colts protect better, are more efficient in the red zone, and are +11 in turnover differential. Plus, the Ravens will play without linebacker Terrell Suggs. Final score 28-21 Indianapolis.
Arizona at St. Louis
The eye catching stat in this game is red zone touchdowns. The Cardinals are an amazing 68% in the red zone on 34 opportunities, while the Rams have scored, just six red zone touchdowns all season. The Cardinals should win big. Final score 31-10 Arizona.
San Diego at Denver
This game could compete with Indianapolis-Baltimore for game of the week. It's an inter-divisional game with first place on the line. The numbers between the teams are virtually identical. Since there's a strong possibility Kyle Orton will not play, I'll have to go with the Chargers. Final score 24-17 San Diego.
Cincinnati at Oakland
Even without Cedric Benson, the Bengals should win this game handily. They protect much better, while generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Their offensive and defensive proficiency in the red zone is superior. And they average 130 more yards per game. On top of that, the Raiders are starting Bruce Gradkowski at quarterback this week. This is a recipe for a blowout. Final score 38-10 Cincinnati.
