Must Start

Seattle, New England, Detroit, and Buffalo

Tier 1

Baltimore Ravens vs. Hou – Houston is down to its 3rd QB.

Arizona Cardinals vs. Sea – This will be a low scoring game.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Was – It’s RGIII they are facing.

Green Bay Packers vs. TB – Look for a bounce back against the lowly Bucs.

Tier 2

Denver Broncos vs. Cin – The Bengals have been abysmal in Primetime.

San Francisco 49ers vs. SD – There is little to play for but expect the 49ers players to put up 8-11 points.

Bust

Miami Dolphins vs. Min – Teddy Bridgewater is improving and the Dolphins are struggling.

Fantasy Sleeper

Carolina Panthers vs. Cle – Manziel will have plenty of bumps in the road early on.

Must Start

San Francisco,  Denver and Green Bay

Tier 1

Houston Texans vs. Jax – JJ Watt and Co. will force 3+ turnovers.

Detroit Lions vs. TB – Josh McCown is a turnover waiting to happen.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pit – The Steelers are a very different road team. The Bengals are getting healthy defensively.

Minnesota Vikings vs. NYJ – Minnesota welcomes the sight of QB Geno Smith.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Cle – The Colts D is a better play if QB Manziel starts.

Tier 2

Seattle Seahawks vs. Phi – The Seahawks will limit Sanchez’s effectiveness and force multiple TDs.

New England Patriots vs. SD – New England’s D will clamp down on Rivers and Co. Very tough to pass on this unit.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Sea – The attacking Eagles D will keep the Seahawks to under 17 points.

Bust

Buffalo Bills vs. Den – It’s tough on any defense to perform well in Denver.

Fantasy Sleeper

New Orleans Saints vs. Car – The Saints D put the clamps on Newton and Co. in Carolina and the Panthers come into this in no better shape.

Must Start

Seahawks, Patriots and Lions

Tier 1

Buffalo Bills vs. Min – Teddy Bridgewater at home? Yes.

Cleveland Browns vs. Jax – The Browns are beat up but they’ll thrive here.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Atl – The Ravens are tough at home and the Falcons OL is in shambles.

Arizona Cardinals vs. Oak – Look for the Cards to force multiple turnovers.

Denver Broncos vs. SF – Denver will attack Kaepernick and create 2-3 turnovers.

Tier 2

Houston Texans vs. Pit – Todd Haley is horrible. Bet against the Steelers while he is calling plays.

Dallas Cowboys vs. NYG – The Giants offense is hurting down Rashad Jennings and Victory Cruz (for the season)

Miami Dolphins vs. Atl – The Fins will put up 8 FFL points.

Bust

San Diego Chargers vs. KC – The Chargers are thin at DL and their lack of pass rush is impacting their pass D.

Fantasy Sleeper

Green Bay Packers vs. Car – This unit is entirely different at home.

Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos

Tier 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Stl – The Rams look really bad in the passing game.

Houston Texans vs. Oak – Once the emotion subsides the Texans will get after QB Carr.

Arizona Cardinals vs. NYG – The new offense is still giving problems to Eli and Co.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Atl – The outside receivers are deadly but they need time for plays to develop. The Bengals will be aggressive at home.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Chi – Cutler proved he’s once again turnover prone.

Tier 2

New York Giants vs. Arz – Look for New York to keep Arizona to under 17.

Buffalo Bills vs. Mia – The front four will get after QB Tannehill and force a few mistakes.

St. Louis Rams vs. TB – They need help from their O. Will get it here but this is still risky without the offense’s ability to move the ball..

New England Patriots vs. Min – Belichick will have some new wrinkles this week.

Fantasy Sleeper

Green Bay Packers vs. NYJ – The front 7 will force Geno Smith into multiple turnovers.

Bust

San Diego Chargers vs. Sea – The Seahawks are on a roll, and will pound the Chargers D.

1. Denver Broncos (+1.5) vs. Min – Forget the Tebow magic, which oh by the way has led Denver to win five of their last six games, it’s the defensive turnaround which is most responsible for this hot stretch.

Led by LB Von Miller, Denver has become a respectable unit overnight.

The Vikings may or may not have RB Adrian Peterson back for this one but in the end it will not matter. Denver will cover the point spread and pull out the win on Sunday.

Next

2. San Francisco 49ers (-13.5) vs. Stl – It’d be a minor miracle for the Rams to keep this one close. They’re decimated up and down the roster and especially along the offensive line. That’s not a recipe for success against a powerful defense like the 49ers in their home park. On top of that, SF is on 10 days rest and will roll on Sunday.

3. New Orleans Saints (-9) vs. Det- The Lions are in a tailspin and without their best player defensive player (DT Ndamukong Suh) for this one. Expect Drew Brees and Co. to take advantage of his absence and light up the tote board on Sunday Night.

4. Arizona Cardinals (+4.5) vs. Dal – See Money Line Bet.

The Rest

Washington Redskins (+3) vs. NYJ – The Jets are far too inconsistent to be a favorite on the road. The Skins are coming off an impressive win over the Seahawks on the road and match-up well against New York. We see them keeping things close  and a late win wouldn’t be surprising.

Cincinnati Bengals (+7) vs. Pit – Seven points is a lot to give a team like the Bengals who seemingly keep things close every week. The possibility of S Troy Polamalu missing the game with a concussion makes the Bengals that much more attractive. They’ll also have WR AJ Green in this one.

Chicago Bears (-7.5) vs. KC – The defense alone should allow the Bears to win this by more than 7.5. Both QBs will struggle so look for Matt Forte and the defense to lead the Bears to a double digit victory.

Money Line Bet

Arizona Cardinals (+180) vs. Dal – The Cowboys historically play poorly in Arizona. And although they’re coming in on a winning streak, the past two have been by the slimmest of margins against not very good teams.

The Cardinals D is better than people think and they should have QB Kevin Kolb back for this one. Look for Arizona to once again rise up against the Cowboys and pull off the mini upset to win the money line bet.
