| 3 | Broncos | 1 | -2 | 6-1 | 4-3 | vs. Washington | This defense is not as good as we thought it was. |
| 4 | Seahawks | 3 | -1 | 6-1 | 5-2 | at St. Louis | Took care of business on the road against a divisional opponent on a short week. |
| 5 | 49ers | 4 | -1 | 5-2 | 5-2 | at Jax (London) | Strong Defensive effort at home this week. |
| 6 | Saints | 6 | 0 | 5-1 | 4-2 | vs. Buffalo | A week of to rest up Jimmy Graham was perfect for the Saints. |
| 7 | Packers | 8 | 1 | 4-2 | 4-2 | at Minnesota | Brandon Weeden made that Packers defense look goooood. |
| 8 | Bengals | 9 | 1 | 5-2 | 4-2-1 | vs. New York Jets | Mike Nugents big leg helps the Bengals on the road. |

| 10 | Patriots | 5 | -5 | 5-2 | 3-4 | vs. Miami | Despite a Montreal Screwjob of a call, the Patriots dug their own grave by being 1/12 on 3rd down. |
| 11 | Bears | 10 | -1 | 4-3 | 1-5-1 | BYE | I hate the Bears. |
| 12 | Chargers | 16 | 4 | 4-3 | 5-1-1 | BYE | Taking care of business on the road at 10 am your time is always impressive. |

| 14 | Lions | 14 | 0 | 4-3 | 4-3 | vs Dallas | Calvin Johnson is still a monster. Just throw it up and he's got it. |

| 16 | Eagles | 20 | 4 | 3-4 | 3-4 | vs. New York Giants | Michael Vick is back? Is that a good thing? |
| 17 | Falcons | 18 | 1 | 2-4 | 1-4-1 | at Arizona | Steven Jackson now back in the mix, they can still get that 6 seed. |
| 18 | Ravens | 17 | -1 | 3-4 | 3-4 | BYE | Are they tanking on purpose? |
| 19 | Texans | 19 | 0 | 2-5 | 1-6 | BYE | Surprisingly Kubiak has survived the Bye so far. |
| 20 | Jets | 24 | 4 | 4-3 | 5-2 | at Cincinnati | No one thought the Jets would have 4 wins this year. No one. |

| 26 | Raiders | 23 | -3 | 2-4 | 3-3 | vs. Pittsburgh | A week off yo lick their wounds was good news for the Raiders. |

| 28 | Cardinals | 22 | -6 | 3-4 | 4-3 | vs Atlanta | Good defense, bad Carson. |
| 29 | Giants | 31 | 2 | 1-6 | 2-5 | at Philadelphia | No 0fer this year! |
| 30 | Jaguars | 30 | 0 | 0-7 | 1-6 | vs. SF (London) | Bad bad bad. |
| 31 | Vikings | 29 | -2 | 1-5 | 2-4 | vs. Green Bay | Josh Freeman was a good idea right? |
| 32 | Buccaneers | 32 | 0 | 0-6 | 1-5 | vs. Carolina | I may noy have been right on a lot this season in terms of prop bets, but Tampa under 7.5 wins is feeling pretty good. |

Carolina -7 over Tampa Bay
Lock Alert
What's the over/under on the Nielsen rating on this game? 1.5? I mean seriously, you have to compete with Michael J. Fox back on NBC, Robin Williams back on CBS, and most importantly, game 2 of the World Series. Not to mention the fact that these are 2 fairly shitty TV markets; I'm taking the under. As for the game, it's been really tough to predict the Panthers this year, but if you read what I wrote above, you'll see that they've been dubbed the good bad team of the year. Their defense is good, but their offense is Jekyll and Hyde. If good Cam shows up, they roll. If bad Cam shows up, then sorry I just cost you some coin.

Tampa Bay +7 over Carolina
This isn't exactly a vote of confidence for the Panters as much as a knock on the Bucs. The Bucs were really bad before they lost Doug Martin. Not that it swayed me too much since I felt he was vastly overrated as is but laying 7 with the Panthers on the road is nerveracking to say the least. Cam should roll, but when you add in the Bucs above average pass defense with the Panthers sloppy offense on a night known for providing sloppy games and the chocolate sauce of the sundae is that you are laying seven points on the road with the Panthers. Just too many points. Look for the Panthers to win a game that is only a notch above the Vikings/Giants game on Monday Night.
