You'll see some interesting selections, including my thoughts on whether the San Francisco 49ers can beat the Oakland Raiders in the Battle of the Bay.

Moreover, who will the Cowboys be able to turn their season around against the struggling Vikings? Will the Buccaneers truly prove their greatness with a win over the defending Super Bowl champions?

Last Week: 6-8

Cumulative Season Record: 37-39

Miami Dolphins (2-2) @. Green Bay Packers (3-2)

Winner: Green Bay Packers

Both teams have slipped lately, and will be looking to rebound in this one.

Statistically speaking, the Packers are the better of the two and should stand victorious. 

However, if quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn't play, that'll give the Dolphins a distinct advantage.

San Diego Chargers (2-3) @ St. Louis Rams (2-3)

SAN DIEGO - OCTOBER 03: Quarterback Philip Rivers of the San Diego Chargers celebrates a Charger touchdown play against the Arizona Cardinals in the third quarter at Qualcomm Stadium on October 3, 2010 in San Diego, California. The Chargers won 41-10.

Winner: San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers currently rank first in total yards on offense and second in total yards on defense, yet only have two wins to show for it.

Even though the Rams have been a pleasant surprise this season, I don't think they're ready to take on a team of the Chargers' caliber.

Baltimore Ravens (4-1) @ New England Patriots (4-1)

Winner: Baltimore Ravens

Both are elite teams in my opinion, which could make this the most intriguing matchup of the week. 

Either way, I expect it to be close.

Nonetheless, in the end, I see the Ravens' stifling defense to be too much for the Patriots to handle.

Cleveland Browns (1-4) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1)

Winner: Pittsburgh Steelers

I don't think anyone imagined that the Steelers would start 3-1.

Now their franchise quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, returns from his four-game suspension.

Scary thought, right? The Browns better watch out, because they could get pummeled.

Kansas City Chiefs (3-1) @ Houston Texans (3-2)

Winner: Houston Texans

The Kansas City Chiefs may have started 3-0 and played a gritty game against the Indianapolis Colts, but I think they'll simply be overmatched for 

Expect Matt Schaub to have a phenomenal game against the Chiefs' 25th ranked pass defense, and for him to connect with star receiver Andre Johnson early and often. 

This game will be broadcasted at 1:00 P.M. EDT on CBS

Detroit Lions (1-4) @ New York Giants (3-2)

Winner: New York Giants

Congratulations to the Detroit Lions on getting their first win on the season, but don't count on that continuing. 

The New York Giants are looking more like the '07 version that won the Super Bowl as they currently rank 3rd in the NFL with 19 sacks. 

This game will be broadcasted at 1:00 P.M. EDT on FOX.

Atlanta Falcons (4-1) @ Philadelphia Eagles (3-2)

Winner: Atlanta Falcons

This game could ultimately come down to whether or not Michael Vick plays and how well he performs.

If he does, they may have a chance to keep up with the Falcons' prolific offense.

If not, they could be in serious trouble.

Seattle Seahawks (2-2) @ Chicago Bears (4-1)

Winner: Chicago Bears

The Seattle Seahawks have been dominated in both of their road games this year, and I don't expect that trend to change anytime soon; especially not against one of the premier teams in the NFL.

This game will be broadcasted at 1:00 P.M. EDT on FOX

New Orleans Saints (3-2) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1)

GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 10: Quarterback Drew Brees #9 of the New Orleans Saints prepares to snap the ball during the NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix Stadium on October 10, 2010 in Glendale, Arizona. The Cardinals defeat

Winner: New Orleans Saints

Even though the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have managed to compile the better record, there's no denying that the New Orleans Saints are the superior team. 

The Saints desperately need this if they want to stay in the playoff race. There's no way they can afford to lose three of their past four games.

New York Jets (4-1) @ Denver Broncos (2-3)

Winner: New York Jets

Sure, the New York Jets 23rd ranked pass defense may be exposed to the Broncos second best aerial attack.

Nonetheless, I can't see how the Jets can lose this game as they're playing like the best team in football right now.

This game will be broadcasted at 4:05 P.M. EDT on CBS

Oakland Raiders (2-3) @ San Francisco 49ers (0-5)

Winner: San Francisco 49ers

Who will win the Battle of the Bay? 

Could it be the team that's fresh off a victory over their division rivals or the one that's failed to meet any expectations and fallen to 0-5?

Putting all that aside, I'm going with the 49ers simply because I believe they're the more talented team.

They haven't found a way to close games so far, but I believe they will feel the pressure and do so this week.

This game will be broadcasted at 4:05 P.M. EDT on CBS

Dallas Cowboys (1-4) @ Minnesota Vikings (1-4)

Winner: Dallas Cowboys

I think this game will come down to who wants it more, and I believe that's the Cowboys. 

Especially if Brett Favre's elbow continues to hinder him, I don't see how they can win. 

This game will be broadcasted at 4:15 P.M. EDT on CBS

Indianapolis Colts (3-2) @ Washington Redskins (3-2)

Winner: Indianapolis Colts

Peyton Manning vs. 30th ranked pass defense.

Is this really a contest?

Moreover, there's no way the Colts fall to the Redskins on the national stage. They still need to redeem themselves after disappointing losses to the Texans and Jaguars.  

This game will be broadcasted at 8:20 P.M. EDT on NBC.

Tennessee Titans (3-2) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2)

CHARLOTTE, NC - AUGUST 28: Runningback Chris Johnson #28 of the Tennessee Titans walks on the sidelines before the start of their preseason game against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on August 28, 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (P

Winner: Tennessee Titans

Even though their records state otherwise, I believe that the Titans are the more skilled club and they're currently firing on all cylinders which will make them tough to contain.

Against the 30th ranked defense in terms of points allowed, I project Chris Johnson and Vince Young to tear it up all night long.
