At the half way point, there are some big games for teams with playoff hopes.
Miami at Cincinnati
The Dolphins are coming off a tough loss to the Steelers, and Cincinnati has been awful. Carson Palmer is battling a hip injury, but he's played poorly all year. Look for a Dolphins rebound.
Buffalo at Kansas City
Bills played well last week, but they go into tough Kansas City and the Chiefs running game will be to much for the Bills to handle.
Washington at Detroit
Redskins won a close won last week. Matthew Stafford is back for Detroit. This should be a close one, Lions capable of stealing a home win.
Jaguars at Cowboys
No Tony Romo, maybe the Cowboys will use their running backs more. Kitna is a former starter and is capable. Garrard is coming off an injury for the Jag's and is playing for his career the rest of the way. Cowboys can win this one at home.
Packers at Jets
At the start of the season some thought this could be a super bowl preview. The Pack have struggled lately with the injuries catching up to them. The o-line isn't healthy, a dangerous thing considering the Jets defense which will have Revis back. If Sanchez protects the ball, the Jets win.
Broncos at 49ers (London)
49ers will be have another Smith under center, Troy as they face the Broncos. 49ers defense will have its hands full with the passing game of the Broncos. Hard to call an international game. Broncos have the edge because of their QB.
Panthers at Rams
Panthers finally have a win. The Rams are coming off a game they should have won. Rams rebound and get a victory.
Titans at Chargers
If San Diego has any hope for the season they need to win this game. They still are struggling to field healthy receivers. To win the defense must come up big for the Chargers.
Vikings at Patriots
This is a playoff game for Minnesota. It may also be the season for Brett Favre depending on how his ankle holds up. The Vikings o-line must protect Brett, and hopefully the Vikings will use Peterson more. Game will come down to turnovers.
Seahawks at Raiders
Raiders put up 59 in a win last week, and will need another great performance by McFadden with the injuries to their receivers. Close game, defense and running game will win it.
Buccaneers at Cardinals
Bucs game from behind and stole one last week, while the Cardinals lost. Bucs should win if they protect the ball.
Steelers at Saints
Saints need a win, a difficult task against the Steelers defense, especially with the Saints running game struggling.
Texans at Colts
Peyton Manning will move heaven and earth to get his team a victory against the Texans. Don't bet against Peyton in big games, and this is a big game for the Colts.
