Houston Texans over Detroit Lions: The Lions have been playing much better recently thanks to Matthew Stafford waking up a bit from his slow start and they are playing at home, but the Texans defense are going to be out for blood after a poor performance in their narrow overtime win against the Jaguars last week. It also doesn't help the Lions subpar secondary that Matt Schaub is coming off a 527-yard performance against Jacksonville. It should be pretty close, but I like Houston in this matchup.
Washington Redskins over Dallas Cowboys: The outcome of this game will depend on what Cowboys team comes out tomorrow. It it's the team that came out last week against the Browns, Then the Redskins will take this. The Cowboys are lucky to be 5-5 considering their spotty play throughout the year and Washington is coming off a great performance last week against the Eagles and are looking to pickup another win in the division. The Redskins do have a weak secondary and Dallas can throw it, but I believe Robert Griffin III (coming off an excellent game last week where he only threw one incompletion) will outplay Tony Romo on the road. RG3 won the game last week with his arm, I think he will win this game with his feet and get the Skins a narrow victory in what looks like could be an offensive shootout.
New England Patriots over New York Jets: The Jets almost took one from the Patriots a few weeks ago in Foxboro, but I don't think this game will be that close. The Patriots did lose Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez also might not play again, but Tom Brady has so many weapons on offense that he can hurt you no matter what. The Jets are coming off a solid outing last week against the Rams and they tend to play the Patriots to close games, but I don't think they have enough off a defensive presence to stop the Patriots. Look for the Patriots to ride their running game past the weak Jets run defense to victory.
