w00t! fresh off a 5-0 week, lets see if I can make it back to back.

Minnesota at Pittsburgh- Despite their 6-0 record, This Vikings teams is really close to being 4-2, right at the same level the Steelers are. As for Pittsburgh, the return of Troy Polamalu will be welcomed, he won't be at 100%, but his presence in the backfield alone should be more than good enough to help throw off Favre and hand the Vikings their first loss.
WINNER- PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Atlanta at Dallas- Though Dallas is coming in fresh off a bye week, I don't see how they could be the favorites in this one. Their inability to play consistantly is apparent, and Romo needs to be firing on all cylinders if they want to keep up with the hot Falcons.
WINNER- ATLANTA FALCONS

Chicago at Cincinnati- both coming off disapointing losses, one will makeit back to back losses in divisions where neither team can afford to fall behind. Chicago at least can say they fell to a hot Falcons team last weekend, where the Bengals struggled against an inconsistant Texans team. I think this could be the beginning of an unraveling for the Bengals as they start falling further and further behind both Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
WINNER- CHICAGO BEARS

Arizona at N.Y. Giants- Tough loss for the Giants last week, but nothing to be ashamed of falling to a Saints team which many will argue is currently thee best team in the NFL. Arizona looked like they are back in full form from where they left off last season, but remember, they came around against a weak Seattle team, N.Y. will be a much different story.
WINNER- NEW YORK GIANTS

Philadelphia at Washington- no matter how you look at it and try to find excuses, the Eagles were outplayed, and out coached last weekend against an inferior Raiders team. But lightning will not strike twice here. Andy Reid is too good of a head coach to allow his Eagles team to drop back to back games against teams that are below .500. As for the Redskins, I think it's safe to say that the musical chairs of head coaching changes this year begins with the outing of Jim Zorn in Washington. Sorry Jim, but when calling offensive plays is taken away from you, that's a good sign that you might not last the rest of the season.
WINNER- PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
