I'll comment on James's predictions since he went first.

Jake Delhomme seems to be getting his groove back, and with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart (yay 4 oregon) in the backfield, I believe the team with the most rushing yards will take this one.

Prediction: Dolphins 20 - Panthers 27

---

I'll go with this but I don't think this is going to be as high of a scoring game. I like the Panthers at home, they have one of the strongest running attacks. It should be enough for Delhomme to have a low pressure game and allow him to take shots on a weak Miami pass defense but Miami's run game should flourish and keep the game close until the end. Start Ricky Williams, he's gonna have a big day.

Prediction: Colts 17 - Ravens 10

I like the Colts but by two touchdowns. I think the Ravens are a good team, but Peyton is having an MVP season, one of his best if not the best. I don't like how the offense of the Ravens has been playing in the first half of recent games. They don't really get into it until the second half, and it will be hard for the Ravens to assemble a comeback after that against Manning.

Loser Bowl 2010. I see the Lions having a double digit lead in this one and early. The Lions have a habit of putting points up early and then seem to stop playing in the second half. However, this Browns offense is just absolutely terrible and their defense is one of the least opportunistic in the league, they simply do not force many turnovers, good news for Stafford. I think the Browns can squeak out a TD with a field goal on this awful Lions D, but Stafford and Kevin Smith should be able to put up a good amount of points and run the clock down in the second half. Kevin Smith might be good to pick up this week(if hes healthy) if you are completely hurting in RBs this week, he should put up some numbers on this defense and keep pressure off Stafford.

Either way, I don't think Aaron Rodgers will hold up against the 49ers harsh defense. I see Frank Gore scoring two touchdowns with 130+ yards rushing.

Prediction: 49ers 31 - Packers 28

---

I have to disagree. GB has one of the best running defenses right now, which is surprising considering last season. Clay Matthews is already emerging as a rookie LB and the 3-4 is taking better form. Frank Gore won't run for 130+ YDs and and two TDs on a 4th ranked run defense that held AP to 55yd and 97 yd games. This is going to be an aerial game since both teams will shut down each others running games. I see this as a game where Rodgers puts up big numbers across the board, including sacks, so start him this week if you got him. I like GB by a TD and a FG, even with GBs offense struggling, SF's struggles more and their potent rushing attack will find difficulties this week, putting the game in Alex Smith's hands. Start Rodgers, bench Gore.

Prediction: Bills 6 - Jaguars 34

MJD will have a big game and should be started. The Jags will win but I don't see them scoring 34 points running the ball all day, maybe 24-10.

Prediction: Steelers 13 - Chiefs 16

---

I like a bold upset but I don't see it being this game. Polamalu is a huge loss, but this is still a decent defense without him and should be able to cause trouble for the Chiefs. Big Ben and his solid WR corps are explosive right now and Ben's ability to extend plays by being difficult to bring down will cause problems for the Chiefs. Pit by 10.

Prediction: Seahawks 17 - Vikings 35

Sounds about right...

Prediction: Falcons 21 - Giants 28

---

Yeah, Giants look good for the win coming off their bye. I see the Giants running the ball and keeping Matty Ice off the field though.

Saints by a TD or 3. It depends if the Saints get an early lead or not. They can't afford to keep the Bucs in the game and I don't think they will. They have to be careful though if Sharper is still out though...

Prediction: Cardinals 27 - Rams 13

---

Cards by a TD. Cards do very well on the road but Steven Jackson is an absolute beast and a top 5 RB and will keep the Saints around until the last quarter. Steven Jackson should be started, I hope someone has him.

Prediction: Chargers 24 - Broncos 17

This sounds right if Orton is in, drop a TD is not. Simms is awful, and also looks weird in his stance to boot... The Chargers are on fire and the Broncos seem to be fading out of the picture again. Start Rivers.

Bengals will run over this team but not by 42, maybe 35. Start Palmer and Ochocinco. Pick up Benard Scott if Benson is still out, which he probably is.

Prediction: Jets 13 - Patriots 30

Pats look better each week and they're at home. Brady will have a big day as usual, Randy Moss may see better days though if he is locked up with CB Darrelle Revis though. Revis is arguable the best shutdown corner in the league and has a habit of shutting down a teams top WR, be wary owners if you have better options for WR this week.

Prediction: Eagles 14 - Bears 10

---

16-10 or 19-10 Eagles. Bears are struggling this season. Cutler needs an O-Line and a better WR core to play to his potential. I don't see 5 INTs this game, but there will be INTs. Westbrook is doubtful or out I think, so the Eagles will go through the air and McNabb will post huge numbers most likely if you have him. Out of anything for fantasy, I would get the Eagles kicker, David Akers. The Eagles have a nasty habit of making big plays down the field yet manage to fail to get in the endzone, settling for FGs. This doesn't look like it will stop soon, which will keep the Bears in this game.

Titans 38 - Texans 35

The Titans will put up a fight but I like the Texans this round. They are coming off a bye and they play at home. A few things look certain though, Schaub and CJ having big games and this game being down to the wire. I think the Titans are the better team, but I think coming off a bye at home is a huge advantage for the Texans and will be the difference on a MNF game that makes up for last weeks Ravens vs Browns MNF game.
