There are a couple of tough picks this week.

Carolina at Buffalo - Neither team is all that good but both are capable of winning. Normally I would default to the home team but I am going with the experience of Cam over the rookie EJ.

Miami at Indianapolis - Miami is on the rise and many people are picking Ind to make it to the playoffs. I am not though. I think Indy has a slight drop off and this is an example where I think they don't win a game a playoff team should win at home. Miami will be just enough better on both sides of the ball to squeak out a win on the road.

Dallas at KC - Dallas has the talent to win and be a playoff caliber team. But they seem to end up losing games they shouldn't. With all the turnovers the Cowboys got last week there is no way the Giants should have been in the game. Alex Smith won't turn the ball over and will have success moving up and down the field but still have trouble scoring against the new Kiffin led Dallas defense. However, the inconsistent Dallas offense won't score enough points without the short field and turnovers to win this game in a very difficult Arrowhead stadium.

Denver at NYG - It is always tough for teams near the west coast to go east and play well enough to win. I know Denver isn't exactly west coast but it's still a long trip east. The Giants will play better than they did last week. I guarantee they won't have as many turnovers. However, Peyton is still the sheriff running the high octane, high powered Bronco offense and this is their year.

Jacksonville at Oakland - Who really cares outside of their organizations and a few die hard fans. Oakland at home.

SF at Seattle - Looks like it will be a great game. Seattle defense will be much tougher on SF and
Kaepernick than GB last week. Seattle at home in a close, low scoring game.
