Almost half way through the season, lets Do IT!!

Minnesota at Carolina- Even in a loss last weekend Ponders had a pretty good debut against a tough Green Bay team, overall loosing by 6 to the defending champions is nothing to be ashamed of, especially given how they have blown other teams out of the water so far. But on the road going into Carolina, I still have to give the edge to the home team.
WINNER- CAROLINA PANTHERS

New England at Pittsburgh- The Steelers are an anomaly. They have an older roster which many people expected to loose steam as the season progressed. Yet as the season goes on and the more banged up they get the better they are playing. Even being the home team I have to give it to the Pats. 1 stat to justify this. the Steelers are 1-6 in the last 7 meetings against the Patriots when Brady is starting.
WINNER- NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Cincinnati at Seattle- Thank God London England didn't get the Seattle/Cleveland game last weekend. That was one of the worst games I can recall in recent NFL history. Seattle is one of the toughest places to play in the NFL, but Andy Dalton is playing well, the Defense is one of the best in the league, and if Seattle plays anything like they did last week, they won't stand a chance.
WINNER- CINCINNATI BENGALS

Dallas at Philadelphia- I've seen many people immediately jump on the Cowboys for this one. Pointing to Murray's amazing performance last weekend as a reason why they will run up and down the Eagles struggling defense. But remember, he did so on an awful Rams team. The Eagles are at home, coming off a bye week and have momentum from their win the week before, I have to give them the edge.
WINNER- PHILADELPHIA EAGLEs

San Diego at Kansas City- Right when I was about ready to bury the Chiefs season, they rattle off 3 straight win including a shut out over the Raiders last weekend. If they win Monday they will go from 0-3 start to being in first of the AFC West! The Chargers despite their 4-2 start have struggled. Rivers isn't looking like the QB he was last season. I feel he will get his act together, but I can't help but shake the feeling the Chiefs will take this one.
WINNER- KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
