The Falcons are due for a letdown coming off a short week and a tough loss to the Saints. However, the Skins are pathetic and will allow a sleepwalking Falcons sqaud to get well quickly.

The Pats come off the bye week ready to roll. Look for Brady to come up big as the Fins are tough against the run. Play your Pats with confidence. On the Fins side, play Brown only as he will be a force out of the backfield.

This should be an entertaining game as Schaub and company face their biggest test in Indy. Many will be wondering who will be running the ball in Houston. Our guess is nobody. Look for Slaton to have a good game receiving the ball.

Look for the Ravens to revenge their loss in Cincy several weeks ago. Look for both defenses to step up and hold both offensive teams down this week. Rice and Benson will struggle to find room to run.

Two of the most dissapointing teams in the NFL matchup this week. Look for both defenses to cause turmoil in what will be a dissapointing game for fantasy owners. In the end, a Warner turnover will be the difference.
