Minnesota 17 Pittsburgh 28- I thought that the Vikings would lose at least 1 game in the 3 game set against Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Green Bay, and I think this is the week it will happen. The Steelers are coming off of games against Detroit and Cleveland and Troy Polamalu is playing. I expect this will be the first game we will truly see Brett Favre struggle in at times. He won't play ridiculously awful, but expect that a stretch of the game will be a compilation of short drives, incompletions and sacks.
Chicago 31 Cincinnati 10- This one I think is going to get out of hand quickly. Expect something along the lines of the Atlanta vs. San Francisco game a few weeks back. It won't reflect how comparable the teams are maybe earlier or later in the season, but I just see these two teams going in different directions at this point in the season. Cincinnati will struggle on offense and the Bears will capitalize on great field position and a Bengals defense that will be on the field for a large section of the game.
On a similar note, check out Chad Ochocinco's news network. The OCNN (Ochocinco News Network) will be quite interesting for all of us and surprisingly might be oddly informative. Plus he has the best slogan for a news network, "If I break it, you might as well believe it." Alright back to predictions.
Green Bay 35 Cleveland 14- Green Bay is made to blowout sub-par teams. This honestly will not prove anything we did not already know about the Packers team, unless they lose. I just don't see that happening. Aaron Rogers will put up monster numbers and the defense will look better than it actually is, while Derek Anderson and/or Brady Quinn try to keep pace with the fireworks show. If they win however, and Minnesota loses to the Super Bowl champs it sets up quite an interesting match-up in Green Bay the following week, with division lead implications.

Wow, your Vikings prediction was dead on. Unfortunatly your Bears one was dead backwards. Halfway through the season and the NFC North could be in tangles if the Vikings lose to the Packers Sunday (I have my fingers crossed they don't). I enjoy reading about the other NFC North teams, keep it up
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think this will be a big indicator to see if the Packers will be able to keep pace for the rest of the season. All four of their wins so far have come against unimpressive teams, (Rams, Lions, Browns, Bears in week one) and if they are going to keep up past week 11 they are going to have to start beating teams in the better half of the league. Thanks for the post.
