| Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots | |||
 28 | For the second consecutive week, Patriots QB Tom Brady was almost perfect, connecting on 25 of 31 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns. Brady's success should continue against a Bills defense that is playing without two starters in the secondary -- FS Ko Simpson and CB Jason Webster -- who are both out for the season. Result: New England Patriots 38, Buffalo Bills 7 | ||
 10 | |||
| Minnesota Vikings at Kansas City Chiefs | |||
 17 | Chiefs RB Larry Johnson averaged only 3.4 yards on 16 carries last week against a tough Bears defense. Johnson could struggle against a Vikings defense that held the Lions to 56 yards on the ground a week ago. Result: Kansas City Chiefs 13, Minnesota Vikings 10 | ||
 14 | |||
| Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans | |||
 27 | Colts QB Peyton Manning completed 28 of 41 passes for 312 yards with a touchdown and an interception last week. Manning could pick on Texans' CB Demarcus Faggins, who struggled to match up against Steve Smith and allowed his first two touchdowns. Result: Indianapolis Colts 30, Houston Texans 24 | ||
 20 | |||
| San Diego Chargers at Green Bay Packers | |||
 24 | Chagers RB LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for just 43 yards on 18 carries as his run blocking left much to be desired for the second straight week. Tomlinson should bounce back this week against a Packers defense that got pushed around in the first half before the Giants abandoned the run. Result: San Diego Chargers 24, Green Bay Packers 31 | ||
 20 | |||
| Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens | |||
 23 | Last week, the Ravens' defense played well for three quarters, putting pressure on Kellen Clemens and sacking him four times. QB Matt Leinart hopes to be as efficient as he was last week. Even though he threw an interception, he wasn't sacked and was able to consistently convert on third down. Result: Baltimore Ravens 26, Arizona Cardinals 23 | ||
 13 | |||
| St. Louis Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers | |||
 21 | Rams QB Marc Bulger passed for 368 yards and WR Isaac Bruce had eight receptions for 145 yards last week. Bulger will have to shoulder the load if RB Steven Jackson gets bottled up by the Buccaneers' defense. The Bucs held Saints RBs Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush to a combined 76 yards on 20 carries. Result: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24, St. Louis Rams 3 | ||
 19 | |||
| San Francisco 49ers at Pittsburgh Steelers | |||
 26 | Last week, Steelers RB Willie Parker averaged 5.5 yards a carry while earning his second 100-yard game of the season with 126 yards. Parker hopes to perform well against a 49ers defense that limited Rams RB Steven Jackson to just 60 yards on 21 carries. Result: Pittsburgh Steelers 37, San Francisco 49ers 16 | ||
 14 | |||
| Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles | |||
 24 | The Lions haven't run the ball well so far this year, which doesn't bode well for RB Tatum Bell against the Eagles. Last week, the Eagles' defense neutralized Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb hopes to rebound from last week, where most of his passes were off-target. Result: Philadelphia Eagles 56, Detroit Lions 21 | ||
 21 | |||
| Miami Dolphins at NY Jets Jets | |||
 19 | Dolphins QB Trent Green passed for 287 yards and two touchdowns last week, but also threw four interceptions. Green faces a Jets defense that hasn't recorded any sacks or forced any turnovers through the first two games. Result: NY Jets Jets 31, Miami Dolphins 28 | ||
 17 | |||
| Cincinnati Bengals at Seattle Seahawks | |||
 27 | Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck was sharp last week with a 94.8 passer rating while being sacked only once. Hasselbeck faces a Bengals defense that gave up 328 passing yards and five touchdowns to Derek Anderson. Result: Seattle Seahawks 24, Cincinnati Bengals 21 | ||
 26 | |||
| Jacksonville Jaguars at Denver Broncos | |||
 20 | Jaguars QB David Garrard had a 117.4 quarterback rating while throwing for 272 yards and a touchdown last week, but the Jaguars only scored 13 points. Gerrard faces a tough Broncos secondary led by Champ Bailey and Dre Bly, who each had an interception last week. Result: Denver Broncos 14, Jacksonville Jaguars 23 | ||
 17 | |||
| Cleveland Browns at Oakland Raiders | |||
 19 | The Raiders' defense could have a tough time against an improved Cleveland offense. The Browns' shredded Cincinnati's secondary last week for 328 passing yards and five touchdowns while yielding no sacks. Result: Oakland Raiders 26, Cleveland Browns 24 | ||
 17 | |||
| Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons | |||
 20 | Last week, the Falcons' defense gave up 272 passing yards ... now they face red-hot Jake Delhomme and Steve Smith. Delhomme finished with a quarterback rating over 100 for the second straight game last week, while Smith had eight catches for 153 yards and three touchdowns. Result: Carolina Panthers 27, Atlanta Falcons 20 | ||
 17 | |||
| NY Giants Giants at Washington Redskins | |||
 23 | The Giants' defense gave up 368 yards and 35 points to the Green Bay Packers last week. If Redskins QB Jason Campbell can limit his mistakes, he could be in for a big day. Result: Washington Redskins 17, NY Giants Giants 24 | ||
 21 | |||
| Dallas Cowboys at Chicago Bears | |||
 24 | Bears QB Rex Grossman played a solid first half last week, but stuggled in the second half, completing just seven of 14 passes for 40 yards with two interceptions. Grossman faces a tough Dallas defense that picked off Trent Green four times last week. Result: Chicago Bears 10, Dallas Cowboys 34 | ||
 23 | |||

| Tennessee Titans at New Orleans Saints | |||
 24 | The Saints' offense is struggling because the receivers are having a hard time getting open. QB Drew Brees hopes to rebound against a Titans defense that gave up 312 passing yards against the Colts. Result: New Orleans Saints 14, Tennessee Titans 31 | ||
