Chicago at Minnesota
There are a couple of similarities between these two teams, in terms of protection and yards allowed. But that's where the similarities end. Minnesota generates much more pressure, is much more effecient on both sides of the ball in the red zone, and has a +6 turnover differential. Final score 38-24 Minnesota.
Pittsburgh at Baltimore
Looking at the numbers, they sway Baltimore's way. The Ravens protect better, are more effective in the red zone, and have a +5 turnover differential. That said, the Steelers are playing without both Ben Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu. The Ravens should win this big time. Final score 31-17 Baltimore.
New England at New Orleans
This game is the game of the week. Both teams protect the passer well, they gain the same amount of yards per game, and are double digits in turnover differential. The Saints are better at pressuring the quarterback and scoring in the red zone. The Patriots are better at defending the red zone and allow fewer yards per game. This one will be a high-scoring shoot-out. Final score 41-35 New Orleans.
