Lock:
Arizona Cardinals (-3) over SEATTLE: The Cardinals have taken complete control of the NFC West. They beat the 49ers twice and they crushed the Rams. OK, so Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck is finally returning to his QB spot after a back injury, but after a month of no play, don’t expect to see anything spectacular from that arm. Arizona’s offense is simply amazing, with the likes of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, not to mention Kurt Warner.
GIANTS (-7) over Baltimore: The Giants are the second-best team in the NFL this year. At 8-1, they are nearly unstoppable. Yes, the Ravens have been impressive during the past four weeks, but they won those games against some of the worst teams in the league. Meanwhile, the Giants have won handily against some of the best teams in the past few weeks. And true, Baltimore has the best run defense of the league, but the Giants shouldn’t have a problem stopping the Ravens’ offense and their rush game.
Philadelphia Eagles (-9) over CINCINNATI: If Philly wins, pack your bags Bengals; playoff hopes are over. After last week’s fall to the Giants, this week’s potential sh*tshow win over Cincinnati will lift the Eagles’ spirits up. There is no comparison when it comes to these two teams’ offenses; the Eagle dominate in passing.
TAMPA BAY (-4) over Minnesota Vikings: Toss-up of the Week: This game can go either way. Both teams are statistically even. Tampa Bay has home field advantage and hold a 3-1 lead in the all-time series.
