TONY'S PICKS

Thu, Oct 27th 2011, 11:02 AM

Byes: Falcons, Bears, Packers, Jets, Raiders and Buccaneers.

SUNDAY'S GAMES
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans 1:00 PM
The Colts' problems are simple. No Peyton, no win!
Titans 20, Colts 10

Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans 1:00 PM
The Jaguars got lucky against the Ravens and pulled out a big Monday night win. This week they won't be so lucky! The Texans are too much of a complete team for the Jags, even without Andre Johnson in the line-up.
Texans 31, Jaguars 9

Arizona Cardinals at Baltimore Ravens 1:00 PM
The Cardinals have their hands full with the Ravens on Sunday. Even though the Ravens suffered a tough loss to the Jags on Monday night, I do not think they are capable of putting up two losses back-to-back. They are good at bouncing back and they will bounce back in a major way on Sunday.
Ravens 27, Cardinals 13

Miami Dolphins at NY Giants 1:00 PM
The Dolphins find ways to lose games. They are just great at coming up with new and creative ways to lose games. How can you pick a team like that? Either fire Tony Sparano and have some of your fans support you for the rest of the season, or keep him there and continue to fill only half the stadium.
Giants 23, Dolphins 17

Minnesota Vikings at Carolina Panthers 1:00 PM
Cam Newton looks impressive! Whether Christian Ponder or Donovan McNabb starts, the Panthers will be ready at home and the fans are pumped up about their new look team. I take Cam Newton and the Panthers in this clash.
Panthers 23, Vikings 20

New Orleans Saints at St. Louis Rams 1:00 PM
The Rams are struggling miserably. That won't get better against the Saints on Sunday. Easy win for the Saints.
Saints 38, Rams 10

Washington Redskins at Buffalo Bills 4:05 PM
The Redskins are in a downward spiral right now. Chris Cooley was placed on the Injury Reserved List this week which ends his season and Santana Moss won't be back until late November. The Bills will have their way with the Redskins and should be able to come up with an easy win at home.
Bills 31, Redskins 13

Detroit Lions at Denver Broncos 4:05 PM
Tim Tebow showed his magic on Sunday, but it doesn't count facing a team like the Dolphins. Now going up against the Lions, Tebow will have to show some kind of consistency in order to get it done against an aggressive team. Calvin 'Megatron' Johnson will have his hands full with the Broncos' secondary, but it shouldn't be too hard for him to catch a touchdown or two in the Mile High City.
Lions 27, Broncos 20

Cleveland Browns at San Francisco 49ers 4:15 PM
The Browns go into San Francisco to face one of the toughest and more fundamental teams in the NFL. Going against a well coached team like the 49ers, the Browns need much more than a stroke of luck. They need a miracle.
49ers 24, Browns 9

Cincinnati Bengals at Seattle Seahawks 4:15 PM
The Bengals are on a three-game winning streak and Andy Dalton has looked solid as a rock in each of the wins. They head into Seattle to face a bruised up Seahawks team that only put up three points against the Browns on Sunday. Even without Cedric Benson, the Bengals will control this game and win their fourth straight in Seattle.
Bengals 27, Seahawks 24

New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers 4:15 PM
What a war of defense against offense this will be! The Steelers always have played the Patriots well. I know they want to prove themselves and show that they are one of the more elite teams in the NFL, and what better way to do that than to knock off the Patriots. The defense gets it done on Sunday for the Steelers.
Steelers 20, Patriots 17

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles 8:20 PM
The Cowboys looked good against the Patriots but they could not finish. The fault doesn't rest on the defense; it rests on the offense's inability to take advantage of opportunities to score. In Philadelphia, they will need to get their act together fast and try to put together a winning plan. I think it will be a tough battle, but I am giving the edge to Michael Vick and the Eagles this Sunday. They have to win this game in order to be competitive in their division.
Eagles 31, Cowboys 24

MONDAY'S GAME
San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs 8:30 PM
I have to take the Chargers on Monday night against the Chiefs. I just do not believe the Chiefs will beat the Chargers on a Monday night affair in a nationally televised game.
Chargers 27, Chiefs 23
