Inside the numbers:

• With Dallas Clark and Austin Collie out, look for Pierre Garcon, Blair White and possibly Anthony Gonzalez to step up for the Colts.
• Randy Moss will be extra motivated to take on the Patriots.
• Kenny Britt has scored in five straight games, including three last week against the Eagles.
• Dwayne Bowe has four TDs in the past two weeks. He’s a great play against the Bills, who have allowed 14 passing TDs already.
• The Cowboys will be without Romo, but with a week of practice, Jon Kitna should be fine. I like the prospects of Miles Austin, Dez Bryant and Roy Williams against a Jaguar pass defense that has allowed a league high 16 TDs on the year.
• Denver has allowed 11 passing TDs, which makes the likelihood that Michael Crabtree scores fairly high.
• Malcom Floyd is expected to be out again. Patrick Crayton has 199 yards in the past two weeks, making him a decent WR3 against Tennessee.
