Try and give your main reason/s for each. If we get a few on here it'll (hopefully) paint an interesting picture of what we all feel are the main factors in the matchups....
1. Bungals at Texans. Like others I'm aware of the respective momentums (Bengals up, Texans down). However, I'm picking Texans here by a TD. I think Texans will be refocussed here and I just cannot trust the gin-ger to deliver.
2. Vikes at Cheese-heads. No contest. Huge advantage imho for Packers to have played this team last week. I see no way that the Vikes can game plan for Rodgers but I don't see the Packers making the same Ponder / AP mistakes again. Packers by 17.
3. Colts at Ravens. I actually think this'll be the most entertaining (and high scoring) of all the games this w/end. I think the emotion of the Lewis announcement might make the Ravens the dark horse of the entire tourney. Indy run D is dire. Luck will keep it close but Ravens by 4 for me.
4. Wilson v RGIII. I've posted previously that I like the Redskins here. I agree that the Hawks are an all around better team but........West coast to East Coast and Seattles record on the road. Redskins by 3.
GL all.

Main reason for each....
Texans: Hard to tell which Houston will turn up but I expect big games from Foster, Andre Johnson and JJ Watt among others will help them edge a close one but their O line must improve. Packers: Almost took last weeks game with Clay Matthews only playing half of the snaps, Vikigs are very one dimensional and although AP is a warrior i just can't see him winning at Lambeau virtually on his own. Also i don't think Ponder will play as well as last week. Colts: Play versus one of the toughest teams to beat on their own patch but Andy Luck just keeps surprising everyone and i think he can do it again. Cols are poor against the run however and will need too improve against Rice who is a top 5 RB. If Colts are within 7 going into Q4 then a bit of Luck will see them through. Seahawks: Just better defence than Skins will see them through imo, Washington weren't too impressive against a pretty banged up Cowboys. Wilsn and Lynch just get better with every game this season, same can be said for RG3 and Morris but i will take Seahawks D over Washingtons any time. I can't see the Packers losing but for the other 3 games they could go either way. Defesive td's and good Special teams plays will be vital, as will errors as always. |

1. Dont really understand the love for the bengals. Sure the texans have been dodgy last few weeks but i put that down to having wrapped the division up. Bengals didn't impress me vs the steelers few weeks back, Steelers gifted them that game with mistakes. Fancy Houston to come out firing. Texans win by 10
2. Vikings were awesome last week and only won by 3 at home, Expect Ponder to make some big mistakes. Rodgers will roll. Pack by 13 3. I like the colts with the Start. Tough to call but think the ravens will sneak through 4. Id be confident of a seahawks win if this was being played in seattle. Fancy RG3 to pull it out though, Maybe OT but skins win |

Actually i would like to change mine to: -
Texans by 12 - I expect the Texans to turn up and run away with this Packers by 5 - really disappointed with the Packers last week think they will just got through this week but wouldn't even be surprised if they got turned over. Big step back last week from recent progressive performances Ravens by 14 - I expect them to smash the Colts at home Redskins by 3 - agree could be an overtime game, don't have a strong view but just favour the redskins with RG3 factor |
