If an upset is to happen, my pick is that it's going to be New Orleans that it happens to.

I can see three close games, and yet i sense little or no possibility of an upset by any of the underdogs. My guess is at least a 10 point victory for all three favorites.

I can't see the Detroit game like the Cleveland game for the fact Detroit has no RB, Peyton Hillis owned us and made throws easy for Mccoy.

I think its the Saints, I'd love to see the Jets lose though.

Except any gambler will tell you, it never works out that way. It's actually a great question/thread....if the Pats win (and please God let them win, it would make the turkey taste bad if they don't), it puts just a bit more mustard on the Saints' game, to me, because if THEY lose....

I think the Saints will lose. Dallas is going on a bit of a run. They ARE a talented team. Wade Phillips sealed his fate for all eternity when he played Rob Johnson over Doug Flutie all those years ago.

I don't know enough about Detriot to have an informed opinion. They have offensive weapons on paper and Suh is scary on Defense. Obviously I think the Pats will win, but I don't view this game as a gimme. The Bengals Suck IMO. The Jets will whip them like a rented mule. I don't know what the deal is with the Saints or the Cowboys.

Sadly, I think it's us. After that Browns game, and after rising up to meet two very big opponents, I think there could be a bit of a letdown. I still expect us to win, but I think it will be closer than people think. I hope I'm totally wrong though.

The Jets are at home, which is a big advantage. And the Bungles are awful, let us not forget. And T.O. is yapping, which is almost a guaranteed loss for Cincinnati.

I think the Saints are going to pay back Dallas for last year's game. They remember that loss.

Jets are 5-0 on the road, I think you want them at home.

The least likely to lose is the Saints.... The Cowboys have been awful at home and there are still plenty of oversized egos on that team. Whom feel they can just show up to get the win.

Pats and Jets are a push......

Good point. Sometimes there's more pressure at home.
