If you're wondering how Dolphins fans feel after Thursday Night's woodshed visit to Foxboro, you need to look no further than the fact they're now referring to Tom Brady by saying, "It's Not Snowflake!" Miami got pummeled 36-7, as they were the latest victim on the Tom Brady vs. The World Tour. As for the rest of this week, we have a battle of undefeated teams between Green Bay and Denver, and an AFC North showdown that will see Big Ben return for the Steelers against Andy Dalton and the Bengals. So, without further delay let's get to some games!

Detroit
at Kansas City -3.5
How are the Lions this bad? This team went to the playoffs last year, they basically lost one Defensive Lineman, and now they're the worst team in football. The Chiefs got a much needed win against the Steelers last week, while the Lions were beaten by the Vikings at home. This will be the final game from London this year. I'm probably going to regret this, but I'm going with the Lions in the upset win. I just can't believe Detroit is this terrible. Detroit 23 Kansas City 19.
Tampa Bay
at Atlanta -7
Jameis Winston as Sebastian the Crab is pretty much the best Halloween costume in the NFL. Under the Sea! Under the Sea! Darlin' it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me! The Falcons at home vs. Sir Turnover? Give me the Dirty Birds and Julio down by the school yard to get the win. Falcons 31 Bucs 17.
Arizona -6
at Cleveland
This game could be a lot closer than it should be. The Cardinals are clearly the better team, but they needed a last second play to beat the Ravens at home. Palmer vs McCown? I'm going with Carson to get the win on the road. Fist bump ref. Cards 22 Browns 13.
San Francisco
at St. Louis - 8
If the Rams had a decent QB, they'd be a real playoff threat, but with Nick Foles under center they're looking at being a No. 6 seed at best. Gurley is having a phenomenal year. In the last 3 games, he's rushed for 146 yards, 159 yards, and 128 yards. St. Louis keeps with the ground and pound theme and grit out a win against the 49ers. Rams 22 49ers 16.
NY Giants
at New Orleans -3
Eli's homecoming to NOLA. This is somewhat of a unique game, because Eli, Odell, Rueben, and Brad Wing are all getting a chance to head back to the Big Easy and have their friends and family in attendance. The Giants have been up and down, but I don't see them going into NOLA and coming out with a win. It's going to be a long night for Eli. Saints 31 Giants 20.
Minnesota -1
at Chicago
Adrian Peterson and Matt Forte have almost identical statistics through the 1st half of the NFL season. Peterson has 530 yards on 120 carries with 3 TDs, while Forte has 507 yards on 126 carries and 2 TDs. The Vikings wins so far this season have come against the Lions twice, the Chiefs, and the Chargers. Those teams have a combined record of 5-16. Being that this is a divisional game, I'm going with the Bears to get a win at home. Bears 24 Vikings 22.
San Diego
at Baltimore -3.5
The Chargers are 2-5, while the Ravens are 1-6. Needless to say, neither of these teams are going to the postseason. West Coast teams generally don't travel well to the East Coast. Both Flacco and Rivers are going to have to throw the ball in this game, as the Ravens and Chargers have non-existent running games. Give me the Ravens to get a win at home to get to 2-6. Baltimore 30 San Diego 23.
Cincinnati
at Pittsburgh -1
Cincy is sitting at 6-0 and they've been impressive in those wins, but Pittsburgh has managed to stay in the playoff race at 4-3 without Big Ben. Roethlisberger is back today for Pittsburgh, and he's supposedly a full go with no restrictions. I think his return gets the Steelers a win at home against the Bengals in a close game. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 4th quarter comeback victory. Steelers 31 Bengals 30.
Tennessee
at Houston -4
Mettenberger vs. Hoyer. Get excited. It's pretty clear both of these teams are not very good, as their combined records are 3-10. Here's something to give Texans fans hope though. The AFC South is so bad, that if they beat the Titans today and the Colts lose on Monday Night Football, they'll be tied with the Colts for 1st place in the division at 3-5. Hoyer's the better QB, and the Texans are playing at home. Give me the Texans to win and cover. Houston 20 Tennessee 13.
NY Jets -3
at Oakland
Is Amari Cooper going to get stranded on Revis Island today? Will the Jets be able to travel to the West Coast and come back with a win? This might actually be one of the best games, if not the best game of the weekend. Defense travels, and the Jets love to run the ball. The Jets look like a playoff team, while the Raiders might be a year or two away. Jets 23 Raiders 17.
Seattle -4.5
at Dallas
Seahawks. Dallas is 0-4 since Tony Romo left. I know that Dez is scheduled to play this week, but I don't think it's enough against that Seattle defense and running game. Give me the Seahawks to win and cover. Seattle 34 Dallas 20.
Green Bay -2.5
at Denver
This is a battle of the unbeatens at Mile High. Green Bay is the better team. They have the better QB, and they'll go further in the playoffs this year. Peyton doesn't have the arm strength anymore, but I think this is just one of those games, where the Broncos defense gets some key turnovers, and Manning plays well enough to get the Broncos a win at home. They're going to need to get off to a fast start, because if the Packers get up by double digits, I don't think Peyton is going to be able to lead them on a comeback win. Denver 27 Green Bay 24.
Indianapolis
at Carolina -7
The Monday Night Football match puts the 6-0 Panthers against the 3-4 Colts. Andrew Luck has not been having a good year, while the Panthers have been winning games with defense and running the ball; novel concept. Earlier in the year, Carolina looked at a 4 game stretch between the Seahawks, Eagles, Colts, and Packers and were hoping for 2-2 at best, but now it looks like 3-1 is very possible and 4-0 is not out of reach. The Colts are in serious trouble, but they play in what is easily the worst division in the NFL so they can go 6-10 and still win the division. The Colts have the worst defense in football, and they're going up against the best running team in the league, on the road. Give me the Panthers to get a win on Monday Night and move to 7-0. Carolina 31 Indy 20.
This is the last London game for the season, so we'll have football start early again this morning. Cheers!
