The Winner
| ESPN.com's Power Ranking
| The Loser
| Why the winners will win
|
 | 1 |  | The Browns have absolutely NO offense, and this should be an EASY win for the Ravens, and should the Browns learn how to play football, the Ravens can always lean on Joe Flacco.
|
 | 2 |  | The Giants are starting to finally get their ground game going, and should be able to run all over the Bucs - also, they will give Leftwich hell with their defensive line, even if Tuck is out.
|
 | 3 |  | The Colts HAVE to stop Kurt Warner and Boldin/Fitzgerald or else they are pretty much toast. Peyton Manning should do just fine, but they need to control the clock too.
|
 | 4 |  | Falcons can win this thanks to Matt Ryan and his arm. Tony Gonzalez can go through the middle and if the O-Line can contain Wilfork, the Falcons should come away with a W.
|
 | 5 |  | The Vikings should take advantage of superior talent and their defensive line. Containing Frank Gore, who had a monster week last week, will be what it takes. AP vs FG. Heck of a RB matchup.
|
 | 6 |  | If the Steelers can survive sans a running game, it'll be easy pickings for Pittsburgh. Don't sleep too much, keep aggressive on defense.
|
 | 7 |  | The Saints should just let Drew Brees do whatever the heck it is he does because it seems to be working. Make sure, however, the mediocre defense doesn't give up too much to the Bills.
|
 | 8 |  | The Jets will win this game because they are simply playing better. The defense can stop the Titans running attack. The Titans just don't have the right offense either.
|
 | 9 |  | Michael Vick this Michael Vick that! It doesn't matter if the Fridge was playing the Chiefs, this is the biggest mismatch of the week. Eagles will run all over the Chiefs.
|
 | 10
|  | The Patriots should be able to bounce back, especially with Tom Brady having faced a vicious defense, and Wes Welker being back. The secondary had a week to gel and should do well against Matt Ryan.
|
 | 11
|  | The Chargers have a fantastic running game. So do the Dolphins. However the Chargers have Rivers, and the Fins have Pennginton. The Chargers have Merriman...Chargers win.
|
 | 12 |  | How do the Packers win this game? Easy. Just show up.
|
 | 13 |  | If the 49ers can control the clock and get a good managed game from their QB, while letting Frank Gore run well, it'll be a good game. I also think Vernon Davis has his break out weekend.
|
 | 14 |  | The Seahawks just don't have that great of a pass defense, or anything else. Although, this game will really be determined by the QB play of BOTH teams. Uncertainty for the 'Hawks, and Cutler for the Bears? Edge - Cutler.
|
 | 15 |  | The Cowboys are lucky to be playing the Panthers on Monday night. Romo can study this teams defense, and with his talent, if he just has extra time to prepare he'll do that much better. The Panthers playing horrible football is another factor.
|
 | 16 |  | The Titans will come into this game angry and upset. Chris Johnson can bounce outside, take advantage of the over-aggressive Jets Defense, it'll work out for Fischer and the new Titans.
|
 | 17 |  | Houston should dominate this game. The Jags have a very low talent team outside of MJD.
|
 | 18 |  | The defending NFC Champs can take out the Colts by running the ball with Hightower and Wells. That will allow Warner to throw the ball all day long to a depleted Colts secondary.
|
 | 19 |  | San Diego's defense is facing an amazing rushing attack and the way Pennington runs his offense is enough to outdo the once stellar Chargers defense. Also, the loss of LT as a premier RB is a big deal.
|
 | 20 |  | The Broncos can seriously expect a slugfest with the Raiders, but I expect (as do most) this game to come down to confusing Russel more. This could be a low scoring game.
|
 | 21
|  | This Bills team could be the most underrated team in the NFL, as they are a knee away from being undefeated. Their defense certainly does the right things. Just get constant pressure on Brees, and DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER.
|
 | 22 |  | The Seahawks are starting to surprise a number of people, but they need to run the ball effectively. Also, expect this to be a lower scoring game.
|
 | 23 |  | Washington will easily take this game if Haynesworth can stop Jones, Johnson and Stafford. Portis HAS to win this game for the Redskins. I simply don't trust Campbell to win this game for the 'Skins.
|
 | 24 |  | Pittsburgh's injured defense (okay, it's just Troy) can be susceptible to Carson Palmer's great arm. Now Coles and Ochocinco can work all in unison for the first Bengals win in the re-emergence of Palmer. All they have to do is stop Ben.
|
 | 25 |  | Another week, another big game for Jones' Cowboys. The Panthers still have some big names on offense but Delhomme is failing this offense. Expect Romo to finally come up big. Next week's headlines in Dallas will either shay that Romo is a legend or he should lose his job...
|
 | 26 |  | I honestly think the Raiders can win this game, and heck many games. Their corners are stellar, Seymour gives them a force at D-Line, and they have great potential in the backfield. All they need is a DECENT game from Russel.
|
 | 27 |  | The Jags still have Maurice Jones Drew and that might be all they need to keep the high flying Texans off the field.
|
 | 28 |  | The only conceivable way I see the Bucs winning this game is if the Giants fumble the game away.
|
 | 29 |  | If the Ravens turn over the ball a lot, the Browns have a chance to win. However, we've yet to see Brady Quinn succeed - perhaps Quinn to Edwards is a good combination? We'll see Sunday...
|
 | 30 |  | This seems like another sure bet in the wrong way for the Chiefs, however, with the unsure status at QB could prove to be an advantage for KC.
|
 | 31
|  | I can easily see the Lions winning this game. A great running game, a fantastic receiver and a great WR.
|
 | 32 |  | To beat the Pack, the Saints really need to run Jackson all the way, and Bulger needs to take advantage of his veterans. Most importantly, they cannot let Aaron Rodgers win this game.
