My analysis :
-Packers @ Vikings
this is going to be a very critical game for both teams, mostly minnesota (one game behind green bay right now), because if they lose on friday, they might not make the playoffs, with the rams, saints, and panthers lurking very near. Indoor game, so it benefits the Vikings more with moss, robinson, burelson, and smith. Favre seems to have bad luck in Minnesota stadium. Home team usually wins this rivalry.
Outcome : Vikings 30, Packers 28
-Chargers @ Colts
another big game. with the patriots losing, home field advantage seems not far-fetched for either team. both have the same record. peyton manning will surpass marino's record plus more, because the chargers have a pourous pass defense. james will not have a big game, because the chargers are stiff at the DL and LB. Brees will be forced to pass against a not known defense, and Tomlinson will definately get his 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. This will definately be a good game.
Outcome : Colts 38, Chargers 37
-Patriots @ Jets
a critical game for the pats. the jets are fired up, after pennington's comments. pennington seems to accept the role as the team leader, after his comments to the NY media. the new york/new jersey crowd will be rocking, especially this could be a potential wild card matchup. i see the jets grind it out, and do what the steelers did to the patriots. that is the way to beat brady and the pats. the jets came close in the first game. this game will be close.
Outcome: Jets 16, Patriots 12
