Arizona Cardinals (2-2) vs. Buffalo Bills (4-0)
Line: Arizona by 1.
Buffalo travels to Arizona to face its toughest offensive opponent of the season. The Bills have had to mount second half comebacks against weak offenses in St. Louis and Oakland the last two weeks. The Cardinals defense is porous. I like Arizona to cover in this one.
Cardinals 31, Bills 27
Carolina Panthers (3-1) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (1-3)
Line: Carolina by 9 1/2.
Kansas City is coming off an emotional win while the Panthers improved to 3-1 via a dominating victory over the Falcons. I think Carolina's defense will shut down the Chiefs offense, and although it's a stretch, I like them to cover.
Panthers 30, Chiefs 20
Chicago Bears (2-2) at Detroit Lions (0-3)
Line: Bears by 3 1/2
Chicago played its best football since the 2006 Super Bowl campaign against the Eagles on Sunday night. Detroit is still Detroit. I like the Bears to cover easily here, and improve to 3-2.
Bears 27, Lions 13
Dallas Cowboys (3-1) vs. Cincinnatti Bengals (0-4)
Line: Cowboys by 16 1/2
The Bengals are one of, if not THE worst team in the NFL this year. The Cowboys proved that they are not by any means unstoppable, and that their defense can be controlled. This is a large point margin for the Cowboys to cover. I think betters should stay away from the spread and take the over/under (44). Cowboys win this one.
Cowboys 31, Bengals 20
Denver Broncos (3-1) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1)
Line: Broncos by 3.
The Broncos have the best offense in the NFL currently, but the Bucs are no slouch themselves. Denver has a bad defense, which gets a boost from DT Dewayne Robertson this week. I like the Broncos to cover here, improving to 4-1.
Broncos 38, Buccaneers 24
Green Bay Packers (2-2) vs. Atlanta Falcons (2-2)
Line: Off the Board.
Green Bay has struggled since starting 2-0, and the Falcons are coming off a big loss to the Panthers. I like the Packers to win at home here by double digits.
Packers 24, Falcons 10
Indianapolis Colts (1-2) at Houston Texans (0-3)
Line: Colts by 3.
This is a must win game for both teams and will be fun to watch. I'm not sold on either team yet this season. Indy is blessed to have won the one game they did. If Houston can put pressure on Manning they should get the W. My gut still tells me Indy.
Colts 23, Texans 21
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1)
Line: Jacksonville by 4.
Two very physical games in a row for the Steelers in six days could prove to be too much for them. I think Jacksonville will get a lot of pressure on Big Ben and force turnovers. Jacksonville covers, but it's close.
Jaguars 24, Steelers 20
New England Patriots (2-1) at San Francisco 49ERS (2-2)

Broncos game is going to be closer than expected as 2 of Denver's 4 games have been. Vikes in a close one I agree with. Good job, Sayre.

I personally would like to apologize to all Dolphin, Redskin, and Giant fan for my TERRIBLE predictions. Especially Miami.
