It's alright Nyu-kun, I also went 0-5 last week. And after going 5-0 three weeks ago, I've been 1-9 since. Lets see if I can change my mojo this week.

Atlanta at Carolina- The Panthers nearly pulled off a big upset against the Saints, but apparently they didn't learn anything from New Orleans game against Miami a few weeks back. And while the Panthers will finish the season with some dignity and pride, They will still drop this game against Playoff potential Atlanta.
WINNER- ATLANTA FALCONS

Kansas City at Oakland- Credit to the Chiefs, last week they didn't give up without a fight, even when the game was all but over. They fought till the last second ticked off that clock. Their game against Oakland earlier this season they outplayed the Raiders in every aspect, but lost due to stupid penalties they committed. If they limit those penalties, and fight with the tenacidy they displayed in the Jaguars game, they will win.
WINNER- KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Dallas at Green Bay- The Boys have emerged on top of the NFC East at the mid way point. This division has now become theirs to loose. The Packers have plenty to worry about, after loosing to previously winless Tampa Bay, they are no more closer to finding the answer needed to protect Aaron Rodgers. Aaron has what it takes to take Green Bay places, but no QB can succeed when they are being sacked 4-5 times a game.
WINNER- DALLAS COWBOYS

Philadelphia at San Diego- The Chargers have sprung to life and showed that the AFC West isn't lost just yet. Especially since Denver has dropped their last two games. The Eagles even though they lost to Dallas is still in reach of passing them up and taking control of the East if they don't shoot themselves in the foot. But I see the Chargers having more miss steps between now and the end of the season, miss the playoffs by just a hair, and Norv will be out of a job once again.
WINNER- PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

New England at Indianapolis- Stop the presses, the rivalry is back between the Colts and Patriots. Bottom line, even though the Colts are still undefeated, the last few weeks have been pretty close calls against the 49ers and Texans, two games they could have easily lost. The Patriots are on track to winning the AFC East once again, but I see them not making it far in the playoffs regardless. Even though this teams is 6-2, there are quite a few games that should have gone the other way, (Buffalo and Baltimore) this team should be 4-4 right now. But despite that, I see Brady winning this time around, after he dismantles a weak Colts secondary.
WINNER- NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Recap- Falcons, Chiefs, Cowboys, Eagles, Patriots

Falcons
Chiefs
Packers
Eagles
Colts

(And a little note: Don't expect a low # of penalties from either team in the Chiefs Raiders game. They can't get along. It's a big rivalry. My Mom has shown how bad it might get. She's a Chiefs fan and she was mad that the Chiefs lost to the Raiders at Arrowhead. She doesn't like the Raiders, like all the other Chiefs fans.)

Panthers
Chiefs
Cowboys pirate
Chargers
Colts

I can't bet against Peyton, even if he's matching up with Brady. Even when the Pats went undefeated in the reg. season, when they ran into the Colts, the Colts put up a fight. I expect the same on Sunday night, despite the injuries.
