Chicago 31 Cleveland 10- Chicago will come out pumped up and play well against one of the worst secondaries in the game. This would make me even angrier about last week after you see them click and tear up the field this Sunday. This win will spark talks that they are back in the chase for the division, but I do not see that happening at all.
Detroit 21 St. Louis 17- The game of the week. Honestly, St. Louis can not score, and Detroit's defense is not nearly as bad as everyone thinks. Without having to spend the entire game on the field, like they usually do, expect the Lions to put up a rather impressive game defensively. St. Louis will get some points off of turnovers and good field position and expect them to threaten for the win late, but they will be unable to execute and the Lions will continue their long slow trudge out of the cellar.
Green Bay 31 Minnesota 21- This prediction reflects my opinions of these two teams just for this week. I think Minnesota is a better team that will pull away slightly by the end of the regular season. That being said, the idea of being in 1st place in the division and bringing Brett Favre back home will be enough random factors to equalize these teams for a week. Brett Favre will also not tear up the Packers like he did during the meeting earlier in the season and the combination of weather and crowd hostility will cause him to struggle for the second week in a row. I expect for it to be noticeable that the Vikings are the better team, but to many things will go wrong early and then the Packers will hold on at the end.
