This week’s Good Copp is D.Copp - 11-3 last week. While J.Copp, the Bad Copp, was 10-4.

Baltimore @ Minnesota

J.Copp Pick: Baltimore

The undefeated Vikes take on the Ravens who are coming in with a 2 game losing streak. This game will come down to the Ravens scoring points, and the D containing Adrian Peterson. The Ravens are embarrassed coming off of a tough loss against Cincinnati, so look for them to be firing on all cylinders. Jared Allen and the Vikings defense have shown they are a force getting to the quarterback, but with Ray Rice coming out of the backfield I think Joe Flacco will be able to get the ball out quickly. The X factor in this game to me is Ed Reed. Reed comes in with 12 interceptions returned for TD's in his career, most among active players. I think he has a chance to add to that number going up against the king of throwing interceptions, Brett Favre. Favre looks his age in this game and loses it for Minnesota by giving the ball away.

D.Copp Pick: Baltimore

The Vikes are on a roll, and the Ravens dropped two straight - but I think Baltimore is just too physical and too solid around the board. Favre will throw some pigskin gifts the Ravens way, Peterson has a vague memory of what the century mark looks like (no 100 yard games in last 4), and the Ravens take this one.

Kansas City @ Washington

J.Copp Pick: Kansas City

KC gave a stumbling Cowboys team all they could handle last week, losing in overtime thanks to Miles Austin. This week they take on Washington  who gave Carolina their first win of the season last week and lost to Detroit
