Carolina at New York Jets
These two teams have many similarities. Both have turnover prone quarterbacks, suffered key injuries, and run the ball well. The Jets have the numbers slightly in their favor, but that's mostly due to their hot start. Carolina has been the better team over the past month, last week's game notwithstanding. Plus, they've had three additional days to prepare for this one. Final score 20-17 Carolina.
Washington at Philadelphia
I've mentioned in this space several times how hard this defense has it for the Redskins this season. They are excellent at defending the red zone, provide pressure to the opposing quarterback, and limit the yardage to opposing teams. However, the Eagles move the ball much more efficiently, especially with quick stricks, protect better, and have a +8 turnover differential, compared to Washington's -5. It will probably be close, because that's how NFC East matchups tend to be. Final score 27-21 Philadelphia.
Indianapolis at Houston
Houston blew a statement game on Monday night, while the Colts sneaked out a victory against the Ravens. The teams move the ball and give up about the same amount of yardage, and score with about the same proficiency in the red zone. Indianapolis sets itself apart with much better protection of the quarterback and the football. Final score 31-21 Indianapolis.
