New York Jets (1-7) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (4-3), Sunday, November 2, 1 PM. ET. CBS.
The Jets have won their past three meetings against the Chiefs, but it will be hard for them to win their fourth straight, because of the kind of season they are having. They will turn to Michael Vick, who is making his first start since last season, when he was a member of the Eagles, to help them snap their seven game losing streaks.
The Chiefs will test the Jets’ 5th ranked run defense with their 3rd ranked rushing game, led by the duo of Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis, who have been responsible for Kansas City’s recent success. Alex Smith suffered a sprained shoulder in their last game, but should be able to play against the Jets.
Game Line: The Chiefs are favored to win this game by 10 points, the Over/Under is 41.5 points.
Personal Pick: The Chiefs are tough to beat at home, and will win this game.
St. Louis Rams (2-5) vs. San Francisco 49ers (4-3), Sunday, November 2, 4:05 PM. ET. FOX
Despite their injuries, the Rams have managed to be competitive, and had a few chances to win more games than they have, but failed to close out those games against the Cowboys and Eagles. They are coming off a lopsided loss to the Chiefs, and will try to win their second game in their last three when they play the 49ers.
The 49ers have had to deal with a lot of injuries also, but they should be getting back Patrick Willis and Jimmie Ward in this game, which is good news for the defense which gave up 42 points to the Denver Broncos before their bye week. They will try to take advantage of the Rams’ 31st ranked run defense, by giving the ball to Frank Gore a lot in this game.
Game Line: The 49ers are favored to win this game by 10 points, the Over/Under are 43.5 points.
Personal Pick: The Rams won’t be able to stop the 49ers rushing game, and will lose this game.
Baltimore Ravens (5-3) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-3), Sunday, November 2, 8:30 PM. ET. NBC.
After watching Ben Roethlisberger decimate the Colt’s secondary last week, the Ravens defense should be a little worried going into this game, because their pass defense is ranked 22nd in the league. They managed to win their first game against the Steelers by forcing turnovers, and will try to do the same in this game.
The Steelers offense has finally found its groove, scoring 81 points in their last two games. Their defense is still giving up too many yards in the passing game, and will have their hands full with Joe Flacco and Steve Smith, who have become a very dangerous combination in the league this year.
Game Line: The Ravens are favored to win this game by 1.5 points, the Over/Under is 48 points.
Personal Pick: After getting swept by the Bengals last week, the Ravens know they can’t afford to lose too many division games, and will defeat the Steelers.
Indianapolis Colts (5-3) vs. New York Giants (3-4), Monday, November 3, 8:30 PM. ET. ESPN.
After getting embarrassed by Ben Roethlisberger last week, the Colts’ defensive players know that they have to redeem themselves this week against the Giants. Andrew Luck, who leads the best passing attack in the league, should be able to exploit the Giants secondary, which is ranked 25th.
The Giants suffered two straight losses before going into their bye week, and should have worked out a lot of the problems they were having on both sides of the field. Their defense hasn’t been very good this year, and will need to improve if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive, Eli Manning also needs to play better than he has, and find a way to exploit the Colts secondary, to give the Giants a chance to win this game.
Game Line: The Colts are favored to win this game by 3.5 points, the Over/Under is 51 points.
Personal Pick: The Giants will give the Colts their second straight loss.
