When the Titans have the ball:
Rushing:
RI: Tennessee 14.33 (13th)
DRI: Baltimore 1.67 (1st)
Advantage: Ravens
Passing:
YPA: Tennessee 5.04 (T-28th)
DPR: Baltimore 60.1 (1st)
Advantage: Ravens
Intangibles: The Ravens have a huge statistical edge. They may not be the best team in the AFC, but they won't lose to an inferior opponent.

Washington 3-5 (1-2), Philadelphia 4-4 (0-3)
When the Redskins have the ball:

RI: Philadelphia 7.67 (T-7th)
DRI: Washington 13.67 (T-14th)
Advantage: Eagles
Passing:
YPA: Philadelphia 7.31 (3rd)
DPR: Washington 102.4 (32nd)

Green Bay at Minnesota 1:00 p.m.
Green Bay 3-5 (0-2), Minnesota 4-4 (1-2)
When the Packers have the ball:

Advantage: Vikings
When the Vikings have the ball:

RI: Minnesota 20.00 (T-19th)
DRI: Green Bay 10.67 (12th)
Advantage: Packers
Passing:
YPA: Minnesota 5.59 (21st)
DPR: Green Bay 86.7 (T-23rd)
Advantage: Minnesota
Intangibles: The Vikes have scored a paltry 10 points in their last two games, seven of those points were by Special Teams. Erratic QB play, a banged up WR corps, and an inconsistent running game appear to be the culprits. If Minny loses this one, their playoff hopes will be jeopardized. Look for Brad Johnson to bounce back against a weak GB secondary.
Vikings 20-13

Kansas City at Miami 1:00 p.m.
Kansas City 5-3 (2-1), Miami 2-6 (1-1)
When the Chiefs have the ball:

Advantage: EVEN
Passing:
YPA: Miami 5.28 (27th)
DPR: Kansas City 86.2 (22th)
Advantage: Chiefs
Intangibles: Chiefs can win on the road and I expect Miami to have a letdown. 2006 belongs to Damon Huard.

Advantage: Colts
Passing:
YPA: Indianapolis 7.62 (1st)
DPR: Buffalo 85.0 (21st)
Advantage: Colts
Intangibles: With road wins over the Patriots and Broncos, Indy has the # 1 seed all but locked up. The only remaining question, before the playoffs, is can they go 16-0?
Colts 34-10

Houston at Jacksonville 1:00 p.m.
Houston 2-6 (1-2), Jacksonville 5-3 (0-1)
When the Texans have the ball:

San Diego 6-2 (0-2), Cincinnati 4-4 (1-3)
When the Chargers have the ball:
Rushing:
RI: San Diego 2.00 (2nd)
DRI: Cincinnati 25.67 (T-25th)
Advantage: Chargers
Passing:
YPA: San Diego 6.61 (7th)
DPR: Cincinnati 78.7 (16th)
Advantage: Chargers
When the Bengals have the ball:
Rushing:
RI: Cincinnati 22.00 (24th)
DRI: San Diego 10.00 (10th)
Advantage: Chargers
Passing:
YPA: Cincinnati 6.16 (13th)
DPR: San Diego 74.9 (8th)
Advantage: Chargers
Intangibles: Dissension has fallen upon the Bengals clubhouse. Meanwhile, the Bolts offense continues to impress. When Merriman returns, SD will be vying for one of the top 2 seeds in the AFC.
Chargers 35-31

NY Jets at New England 1:00 p.m.
NY Jets 4-4 (0-3), New England 6-2 (0-2)

Advantage: Patriots
When the Patriots have the ball:
Rushing:

DRI: NY Jets 28.33 (30th)
Advantage: Patriots
Passing:
YPA: New England 6.11 (14th)
DPR: NY Jets 76.3 (14th)
Advantage: Patriots
Intangibles: The Jets only chance of winning this game is through the air. Even though both teams match up in the passing category, when the Pats have the ball, I like Brady to bounce back against the Jets.
Patriots 31-17

Cleveland at Atlanta 1:00 p.m.
Cleveland 2-6 (0-4), Atlanta 5-3 (0-2)
When the Browns have the ball:

Advantage: Falcons
Passing:

DPR: Cleveland 68.4 (4th)
Advantage: Browns
Intangibles: The Browns have scored 45 points in their last 2 games. Atlanta's defense is hurting, especially in the secondary. If the Browns can contain Atlanta's rushing attack, this will be an upset.
Falcons 26-23

Denver 6-2 (3-1), Oakland 2-6 (0-4)
When the Broncos have the ball:
Rushing:

When the Saints have the ball:
Rushing:

Advantage: Seahawks
Passing:
YPA: Seattle 5.46 (24th)
DPR: St. Louis 86.7 (T-23rd)
Advantage: EVEN

When the Bears have the ball:

Passing:
YPA: Chicago 6.44 (9th)
DPR: NY Giants 75.0 (9th)
Advantage: EVEN
When the Giants have the ball:
Rushing:
RI: NY Giants 4.00 (3rd)
DRI: Chicago 8.33 (8th)
Advantage: Giants
Passing:
YPA: NY Giants 6.20 (12th)
DPR: Chicago 64.3 (3rd)
Advantage: Bears
Intangibles: The Giants are playing better football than the Bears heading into this weekend. Grossman is making poor decisions. Moroever, the Bears can't run the football. The big questions for the Giants: Can Eli avoid turnovers? Can the Giants defense manage without Osi and Strahan? As with most games, turnovers will be the deciding factor.
Giants 20-17
