The Falcons are limping into this one with injuries to Matt Ryan and Michael Turner, and the Eagles are a pressuring defense. This should give them the advantage against backup Chris Redman. Also, Philadelphia has moved the ball more effectively, and are top ten in yards against. The Eagles should win this game, despite missing DeSean Jackson and Brian Westbrook. Final score 28-17 Philadelphia.
St. Louis at Chicago
Chicago should win this game. Despite playing far below many people's expectations this season, they are playing against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. Jay Cutler has talented targets in Greg Olsen, Devin Hester, Johnny Knox, Earl Bennett, and Matt Forte. Final score 31-21 Chicago.
Detroit at Cincinnati
A second consecutive game against a weaker opponent for the Bengals. Cincinnati should be able to gash Detroit's defense either via the run or the pass. And they should be able to pressure Matthew Stafford, which could lead to one or two turnovers. Final score 34-20 Cincinnati.
Tennessee at Indianapolis
This should be an entertaining game. The Colts are the comeback kids, winning five straight games with fourth quarter comebacks, while Titans have won five straight since inserting Vince Young into the lineup. The Titans have a weak passing defense, which plays into the strength of the Colts offense. I see a shootout, but Peyton Manning will lead the Colts to another victory. Final score 38-35 Indianapolis.
