And yet Glee Live! that&rsquos the NFL of

And yet, studies that’s the states NFL of 2009.As well as Miami has played in their losses, the reason why those games went from wins to losses has a lot to do with the opposing quarterback. Could anyone other than Peyton Manning put up 27 points while having fewer than 15 minutes of game time to do it? Could anyone other than Drew Brees have engineered a comeback win from down 24-3?Tampa Bay doesn’t have Drew Brees, Tom Brady, or Peyton Manning They don’t have Phillip Rivers or Matt Ryan either. And because their run defense won’t be able to slow down the Dolphins’ running backs, the Buccaneers don’t have a shot.Dolphins 31, Buccaneers 10Kansas City (+2) over OaklandThere’s precious little to say about these two teams that hasn’t already been said. They both stink.The last time these teams met, the Raiders snuck out of Arrowhead Stadium with a win. The Chiefs dominated statistically, but Matt Cassel threw two interceptions.The Chiefs have been involved in more competitive games this season than the Raiders, they have more intriguing talent on both sides of the ball, and, despite how poorly they’ve played this year, they seem to be headed in the right direction.Chiefs 15, Raiders 12Arizona (-8.5) over SeattleThe Seahawks have yet to win a road game. In fact, they’ve yet to even play well enough on the road to keep them competitive in an away game this season.There are lingering injury questions about Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck. Plus, the Seahawks are among the worst running teams in the NFL, and their defense is average at best.

For a team that has failed to play well on the road, these are significant issues to deal with as they play against the NFC West-leading Cardinals.The last time these two teams met, Arizona limited Seattle to just three points . Kurt Warner is fresh off one of the best performances of his career, and Arizona’s offense seems to be clicking right now.The Cardinals are the better team in this matchup . They’ve yet to play well at home, but perhaps this is the week they rectify that.Cardinals 31, Seahawks 14Philadelphia (+2.5) over San DiegoThe Chargers come home following the euphoria of an uplifting win . The Eagles come into this game after losing a tough home game against division-rival Dallas.This is a pivotal game for both teams .

San Diego is chasing Denver in the AFC West, and the Eagles are trailing the Cowboys and need the win to stay ahead of the Giants in the NFC East.The Eagles seem to be the better team . They have several weapons on offense to stretch out the Chargers’ defense . They should be able to run and pass successfully against San Diego . Their defense has limited most opponents to 20 or fewer points; only in their loss at New Orleans have the Eagles surrendered more than 20 points in a game.The Chargers, meanwhile, don’t have the same versatility on offense . They haven’t run the ball well all season long and their passing offense seems limited to Phillip Rivers throwing downfield to Vincent Jackson.It won’t be an easy task for the Eagles to go west and beat San Diego on the road, but I’m picking them to pull it off.Eagles 24, Chargers 17Dallas (-3) over Green BayNothing would delight me more than to see the Packers pull off the upset.Aaron Rodgers is a very good, under-publicized quarterback, and his receiving corps provides him with ample talent to score a lot of points.

When Rodgers passes the ball successfully, the Packers are fun to watch.However, between a pedestrian running attack and a porous offensive line, the Packers don’t do well at protecting Rodgers . He is sacked more than any other quarterback in the league.In order to stay on the fringes of the NFC wildcard chase, the Packers need to win this game . Motivation won’t be an issue for the Packers, but their ability to stop the Cowboys might be.Dallas has won four straight, with each win more impressive than the last it seems . There could be some let-down following their gritty win at Philadelphia last week, but the Cowboys are completely healthy on offense, and their defense has played better in recent weeks . Until some team knocks them off, or until the Cowboys suffer an injury to a key player, I don’t foresee them losing many games.Cowboys 31, Packers 24New England (+3) over IndianapolisI could wax poetic about the similarities between these teams, or how Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are future Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks, or how this game figures to be a ratings bonanza for NBC.Instead, I’ll keep it brief.

New England isn’t exactly a run-it-down-your-throat kind of team, but their skill players on offense are all healthy, and Pats’ coach Bill Bellichick will find ways to exploit the Colts’ injury-riddled defense, and that could mean more screen passes, or more touches for Laurence Maroney, among other tactics.The Colts will certainly score their share of points . However, unless the Colts can score on every drive, they won’t win this game.Patriots 31, Colts 27Monday NightBaltimore (-11) over ClevelandThe Ravens’ defense isn’t what it used to be . Opposing running backs have had over 100 yards rushing against Baltimore in three of their last four games . In all, the Ravens have lost four of their last five.Given those facts about the Ravens, the point spread for this game speaks volumes about their opponents, the Cleveland Browns, who are the Los Angeles Clippers or Washington Nationals of the NFL.Ravens 27, Browns 7 This article is also featured on Master Procrastinator .
