Bye Weeks:  N.Y. Giants (5-4), Houston (5-4)

Bears (4-4)

@

49'ers (3-5)

Thursday (11/12  8:20 Eastern)

Something has to give in this one.  Both teams have been up and down and have been focusing on the down lately.  The Bears pull this close one out based on a more experienced, better quarterback.

Lions (1-7)

Vikings (7-1)

Sunday (11/15  1:00 Eastern)

The Vikes come off a bye week ready to destroy the hapless Lions.  Look for a rested Peterson to show why he is the best running back in football.  He will win the week for you this week if you have him.

Sunday (11/15  1:00 Eastern)

The Buccos surprised all in gathering their first win last week.  Look for the Dolphins to run and run and run all over the Buccs in what will be an easy win.

We certainly hope you do not have a lot of fantasy players involved in this matchup.  Look for the Broncos to narrowly escape an upset bid from the Skins.

Sunday (11/15  1:00 Eastern)

Look for the Jets to get back on the winning track as they easily handle the Jags this week.  Play Jones, MJD, Edwards and Walker in deeper leagues.

Sunday (11/15  4:05 Eastern)

Both teams enter this game at 6-2.  The Steelers are looking for some revenge and some dominance in their division at home.  The terrible towels will be flying high in this one.  Look for the Steelers to dot Cincinnati's "I"s and cross their "T"'s and strictly dominate this one at home.
