Sunday
Dallas Cowboys (1-7)
at New York Giants (6-2)
DALLAS plus 14
We know all about how teams get stoked by coaching changes. Maybe it will happen for the Cowboys - next year.
The Pick COWBOYS
Tennessee Titans (5-3)
at Miami Dolphins (4-4)
TENNESSEE minus 1
Rested, with a fierce pass rush and, just maybe, a Randy Moss who is on a mission, the Titans will push Miami.
The Pick DOLPHINS
New England Patriots (6-2)
at Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2)
NEW ENGLAND plus 41/2
After that stinker at Cleveland, the Patriots should be motivated and mad. Steelers looked shaky in second half against Bengals.
The Pick PATRIOTS
Cincinnati Bengals (2-6)
at Indianapolis Colts (5-3)
CINCINNATI plus 7
There's no truth to reports the Colts are bringing back Marvin Harrison to play wideout.
The Pick COLTS
Houston Texans (4-4)
at Jacksonville Jaguars (4-4)
HOUSTON plus 2
Last week convinced us it's dangerous to rely on the Texans in tight matchups. Jaguars, coming off a bye, aren't much more reliable.
The Pick TEXANS
Minnesota Vikings (3-5)
at Chicago Bears (5-3)
MINNESOTA minus 1
We still don't believe the Vikings are turning it around, even after that scintillating comeback against Arizona.
The Pick BEARS
Detroit Lions (2-6)
at Buffalo Bills (0-8)
DETROIT plus 3
Drew Stanton at quarterback offsets many of the strides the Lions have made in other positions. Bills keep coming close.
The Pick LIONS
New York Jets (6-2)
at Cleveland Browns (3-5)
NEW YORK minus 3
If the Jets truly are a Super Bowl contender, they need to begin showing it here, especially on defence against a team growing in confidence. This one has OT written all over it.
The Pick JETS
Carolina Panthers (1-7)
at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-3)
CAROLINA plus 61/2
Spunky Bucs v. undermanned and undertalented Panthers.
The Pick PANTHERS
Kansas City Chiefs (5-3)
at Denver Broncos (2-6)
KANSAS CITY minus 1
Chiefs haven't been favoured in the Mile High City often. Broncos might not be a favourite the rest of the way.
The Pick BRONCOS
St. Louis Rams (4-4)
at San Francisco 49ers (2-6)
ST. LOUIS plus 6
A chance for each team to prove some worth in the weak NFC West. We'll give the 'Niners one more chance.
The Pick 49ERS
Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
at Arizona Cardinals (3-5)
SEATTLE plus 3
This one depends entirely on whether Seattle gets back quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (concussion).
The Pick SEAHAWKS
Monday
Philadelphia Eagles (5-3)
at Washington Redskins (4-4)
PHILADELPHIA minus 3
How much is Eagles coach Andy Reid enjoying some QB melodrama somewhere other than in Philly? And with Donovan McNabb in the middle, no less.
The Pick REDSKINS
Bye week Green Bay, New
Orleans, Oakland, San Diego
