Philadelphia Eagles (4-5) Green Bay Packer (5-3)
The Packers are in big trouble with Aaron Rodgers getting injured on Monday night. Backup Seneca Wallace is not going to put up great numbers but he will do a decent job in his fill-in role. Green Bay is going to have to rely on its defense to play dominate on every down and for RB Eddie Lacy to carry the offense. If that happens then the Packers might be able to hold this team together until Rodgers gets healthy. They have somewhat of a soft remaining schedules they should still make the playoffs.
The Eagles put together a surprising performance in Oakland last week and Nick Foles cemented his job as starter when he threw for seven tds. I don't think that his performance was a fluke. I believe Foles is a GOOD QB. If the Eagles fully commit to him, it would be interesting to see how good he could become But the fact that he keeps getting benched for M. Vick has to be hurting his confidence.
On Sunday, I have confidence that the Green Bay coaching staff will fully prepare the Packers to win without Rodgers The Eagles have a chance to win but the Packers are a better team and, in my opinion, better coached. The Green Bay defense will put in extra work to slow down the Philly offense. It will be an ugly game but a game the Packers should win. My final: Green Bay 23 Philadelphia 17
Detroit Lions (5-3) @ Chicago Bears
The Bears overcame the absence of Jay Cutler, went on the road into Lambeau Field and beat the Packers. It was an impressive win and an all around performance from the Bears. Josh McCown played a solid game and RB Matt Forte had a total 180 yards and a td. They will need more of that from Forte when the Lions come to town.
The Lions are coming off a bye week after beating the Cowboys in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Matt Stafford should continue to have great success with the offense. Their defense is playing surprisingly good. They will need to keep it up on the road this Sunday. I believe with the bye week behind them the Lions will be well prepared for this Sunday. The Bears should be close in this game but without Jay Cutler they will fall short. My final: Detroit-34 Chicago-31
Cincinnati Bengals (6-3) @ Baltimore Ravens (3-5)
The Bengals lost a game last Thursday that they should have won. The loss could easily be blamed on Coach Lewis for electing to punt the ball in overtime instead of attempting a 58 yard field goal. But the game should never have been that close for it to even go into overtime. The Bengals dominated the second half of the game. Two red zone turnovers, one a 96 yard return for a td, kept the game close and for that they are 6-3 instead of 7-2.

Thankfully for them, the Ravens also lost a winnable game. But the bad part for them is that the game they played really wasn't that close of all. The Ravens are on a decline and before you know it they will be talking about rebuilding. The still have a lot of talent on their team but for whatever reason they can't get a win. Joe Flacco has been underachieving, only throwing 10 tds and 9 ints. on the season. This Sunday I think the Ravens will be more competitive. This is an important game in the AFC North. The Ravens will look to Ray Rice to carry the offense since Joe Flacco is not getting it done. It's not all his fault. The loss of A. Boldin hurt them in the passing game. But they have a star in the making in Marlon Brown. If he can keep progress have a big game then the Ravens could get a much needed win.
For the Bengals all they have to do is protect the football. Dalton is having a career year but he still tries to force things at times. H needs to slow down and just take what the defense gives him.
They also have a star in the making at RB in Giovani Bernard. The Bengals will also be without Geno Atkins on defense because he is out for the season. This is a major blow to the Cincinnati defense. The loss of Atkins will make it a closer game perhaps than before, I still think the Bengals will get the win on the road. The Ravens are in the bottom half of the league when it comes to rushing offense and they show no signs of getting it together. The Bengals will win a defensive battle. My final: Cincinnati 23 Baltimore 16
Denver Broncos (7-1) @ San Diego Charge (4-4)
This game should be shoot out and end with a high score. It might not be that close though. The Broncos are coming off a by week so look for them to be well prepared for a Chargers team that allowed 500 yards last week.
The Chargers are a mediocre team. The can score, yes, but the defense can't make stops. Phillip Rivers will have plenty of opportunities to throw the ball against the Broncos, who themselves are one of the worst in the league against the pass. But Ryan Mathews will have his work cut out for him. The Broncos are stout against the run. This Sunday the Broncos should score early and not let up. If they do they could see Rivers and the Chargers make a strong comeback. But, without a consistent running game for the Chargers they won't be able to keep up. Broncos will win ad probably big. My final: Denver 38, San Diego 28
