NFL Predictions Week 4: 3 QBs Who Will Win the Game for Their Teams

There are many ways to win games in the National Football League.

Some teams like to create turnovers and play aggressive defense. Others prefer to run the ball and manage the clock.

Recently, the most popular method has been putting the ball in the quarterback's hands and asking him to throw for career high numbers.

Here are three teams that will ask that of their quarterbacks this weekend, and here are three quarterbacks who will succeed.

Matt Schaub (Houston Texans)

This weekend the Houston Texans face the Pittsburgh Steelers in what is expected to be one of the more exciting matchups this week.

The Texans expect to have Arian Foster back and taking the bulk of the carries this week. Chances are they will not overdo it on his first week back.

This is partially because of the Steelers defense. They are ranked first in stopping the run.

Most of the weight will be put on Matt Schaub to light up the scoreboard this weekend.

He's been able to do it plenty this year. A few big throws to Andre Johnson should make this week no different.

Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons)

The Falcons seem committed to this new ridiculous offense that they are running.

And by running, I really do mean passing. After three weeks, the Falcons play calling has consisted of 71 percent passing plays.

For a team with Michael Turner at running back, that's a bit ridiculous.

What makes it even more absurd, is that it hasn't worked. The Falcons are sitting at 1-2, the only win coming against an Eagles team that blew a lead after a Michael Vick injury.

Atlanta will probably have Ryan throw the ball a lot yet again. It may not be 51 times like last week, but it will be a lot.

Luckily, the Falcons play Seattle this week, so they will probably walk away with a win regardless.

Matt Stafford (Detroit Lions)

I couldn't bring myself to break the "Matt" trend. It was either Matt Hasselbeck or Matt Stafford.

Both will win this weekend, but I think Stafford will have a bigger impact on his team walking away with a victory.

Stafford has been tearing it up this season now that he's finally healthy. He has thrown for 977 yards, nine touchdowns and just two interceptions. His quarterback passer rating is third to only Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.

Jahvid Best is averaging 2.9 yards per carry this season. I think it's safe to say that Stafford will be asked to win this week's game against Dallas.

Although they are 3-0, the Lions are underdogs for this weekend's game.

Maybe after Stafford carves apart "America's Team" the Lions will start getting the respect they deserve.
