It is the seventh week of NFL action on Sunday.
CBS has the Doubleheader this weekend.
BYE WEEKS: Detroit Lions (1-5), Houston Texans (4-2), Indianapolis Colts (4-2), and New York Jets (5-1)
GAME OF THE WEEK: Minnesota Vikings (2-3) at Green Bay Packers (3-2)- 8:20PM at Lambeau Field; Green Bay, WI on NBC
Last year, this game made big news as Brett Favre was making his return to the place he called home for 16 seasons, as the Vikings beat the Packers. This year, Favre returns once again to the aforementioned place he called home for 16 seasons, as the Vikings face the Green Bay P*A*C*K-ers, fresh off of back-to-back overtime losses to Washington and Miami.
Pick: Minnesota 20-10
SUNDAY AFTERNOON GAMES:
Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) at Miami Dolphins (3-2)- 1:00PM on CBS
This would have been a game of the week in the 1970s or 1990s. But, we'll just settle for the fanfare it will bring as the Miami Wildcat Offense and Pittsburgh Defense do the Football Fandango for 60 minutes.
Pick: Pittsburgh 21-14
Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) at Atlanta Falcons (4-2)- 1:00PM on CBS
The Bengals were off last week after losing back-to-back games they couldn't afford to lose. The Falcons lost last week in Philly, a homecoming for Matt Ryan. TO is wishing that he could get away from the Bungles.
Pick: Atlanta 31-14
Cleveland Browns (1-5) at New Orleans Saints (4-2)- 1:00PM on CBS
Last week, Colt McCoy was revealed to the NFL world in a 28-10 loss to rival Pittsburgh. This week, the Clowns take their bumbling show down to the Big Easy, where Drew Brees will have an easy day against the Cleveland Clowns.
Pick: New Orleans 34-0
Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (3-2)- 1:00PM on CBS
This is a toss-up, as the Chiefs after a 3-0 start are going down, and the Jaguars got pummeled on Monday night by Tennessee (30-3, Titans).
Pick: Kansas City 28-18
Buffalo Bills (0-5) at Baltimore Ravens (4-2)- 1:00PM on CBS- 1st Shutout of 2010? Pick
Through six weeks of the 2010 NFL season, there has not been a shutout by any of the 32 teams. Baltimore's defense and Buffalo's offense might put an end to that on Sunday, because the Bills are destined to be the NFL's 2nd 0-16 team.
Pick: Baltimore 35-0
Washington Redskins (3-2) at Chicago Bears (4-2)- 1:00PM on Fox- Upset of the Week
Fact- Donovan McNabb grew up in the Windy City. This will be the second homecoming McNabb wins this year, as the Bears are on a slippy slope right now.
Pick: Washington 30-13
San Francisco 49ers (1-5) at Carolina Panthers (0-5)- 1:00PM on Fox- "The Firing Line with John Fox"
The 49ers picked up their first win of the year as they topped their neighbors, Oakland. The Niners will make it two straight, because Carolina is in a hot mess right now, that will give coach John Fox his walking papers real soon.
Pick: San Francisco 17-13
Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) at Tennessee Titans (4-2)- 1:00PM on Fox
The Titans are on a roll after knocking off rival Jacksonville on Monday Night. The short week, however gives Tennessee a disadvantage as Philly comes to town.
Pick: Tennessee 23-13
St. Louis Rams (3-3) at Tampa Bay Bucs (3-2)- 1:00PM on Fox
Remember what I said about Tampa? That was BEFORE the Bucs got embarrassed the defending Super Bowl Champs, New Orleans. Look for Sam Bradford and company to add to the Tampa misery.
Pick: St. Louis 24-21 (OT)
Arizona Cardinals (3-3) at Seattle Seahawks (3-2)- 4:00PM on Fox
This could be a misleading game, but someone has to win it.
Pick: Seattle 28-7
Oakland Raiders (2-4) at Denver Broncos (2-4)- 4:15PM on CBS
Pick: Denver 21-10
New England Patriots (4-2) at San Diego Chargers (2-4)- 4:15PM on CBS
San Diego was 2-3 last year and then won ten of its last eleven and won the AFC West. The Patriots could send San Diego into a deeper hole.
Pick: New England 27-24
SUNDAY NIGHT GAME:
See Game of the Week
MONDAY NIGHT GAME:
New York Giants (4-2) at Dallas Cowboys (1-4)- 8:30PM on ESPN
Is that hot seat warm enough for Wade Phillips?
Pick: NY Giants 24-22
