The Dolphins are taking on the Eagles, while the Bears play the Rams, Browns play the Steelers and the Saints are playing the Redskins. Seattle is 4-1 SU and ATS in its last five games against the Cardinals and is going off as a 3-point favorite at home in this one. Importantly though, it was his lack of interceptions that was the difference maker in this game.

For all three teams, we looked at their expected winning probability the rest of the season – eight games for each team.
The issue for the Eagles has been consistency as they’ve been unable to develop much of a winning streak.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will now be without Ben Roethlisberger for at least two games and maybe more.
The Patriots and the Panthers extended their flawless starts to the season with contrasting victories over the Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers. But he comes off his best performance of the season in the Broncos’ romp past perhaps the NFC’s best team, Green Bay. Dalton and the Bengals statistically play their worst football during primetime games. Of course, the Giants still don’t have the best personnel to exploit the weakness, but they will try, and they have excelled at ballhawking this season with a league-leading 20 takeaways. How unusual and ironic is it that when the New England Patriots had their undefeated season at 16-0 and cruised to the Super Bowl at 18-0, were upended by these same NY Giants in the Super Bowl?
The Panthers are the National Football Conference’s only undefeated club and have actually won 12 consecutive regular-season games stretching back to last season.
However, this does little to hide the fact that that the Packers will now have to start looking over their shoulder in the division. But one thing has become very apparent about the Green Bay offense: they have struggled to get the ball deep down the field without Jordy Nelson. But the Seahawks have managed to hang around and keep themselves in position to make a run in the second half of the season. The Pack have stumbled after going 6-0 with two successive defeats and last week’s battle against the Panthers showed how far they are off the pace when compared to the three undefeated teams left in the League. The Giants started of 0-2 and Coughlin was already on the hot seat, while the Cowboys were off to a 2-0 start. The Packers are 0-2 SU and ATS over their last two games since starting the season off on a 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS run. Winston has thrown for 1,897 yards and 10 touchdowns, with seven interceptions and a passer rating of 84.0.
It is important not to overinflate Gabbert’s return as only time will tell whether he has improved enough to keep his current job.
The misstep by the Broncos in Indianapolis puts the Bengals and Patriots a step ahead in the race for the top two playoff seeds in the AFC.
Most of the AFC’s divisions have seemingly crowned their champions.
St. Louis Rams minus-7 vs. Chicago Bears Methodical Rams are not the type of team to back laying more than a touchdown, but one glaring advantage makes them better than the alternative.
Somebody will emerge as a contender to the big three in the next month.
New England Patriots @ NY Giants- This is a rematch of Super Bowls XLII and XLVI, both Giants wins. The Pittsburgh Steelers are just half a game behind NY with a 5-4 record.
Feeling jovial after big win, the old Jets head coach/new Bills head coach jokingly called out reporters from both cities for criticizing certain decisions he’s made over the last couple years. The Raiders showed a lot in last week’s loss, although they also showed their defense isn’t good enough yet.
Just like the previously undefeated Denver Broncos laying 3.5 at the Colts last week, though they weren’t factored into that timeframe.
I’ve been saying all season that if anyone deserves a defense to carry them to the playoffs, it’s Peyton Manning.

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers: Green Bay is loser of two in a row but it won’t be three. In two meetings against their AFC East rivals this season, Buffalo outscored Miami by a score of 74 to 31. Running bavk Adrian Peterson has returned from suspension as a substantial force in the backfield. That puts two of the state’s top players on the sidelines during Week 10.
