Prediction: Dallas will beat St. Louis 24-13.
Reasoning: The Cowboys are simply a better team, and will be able to outplay the Rams in all facets of the game, even without Tony Romo.
Reality: Brad Johnson was awful. The Cowboys could have played a solid game in all areas and still not have overcome Johnson's ineptitude. But they didn't even play a solid game. They were awful all around. Marion Barber even tarnished a nice effort with an early fumble. Marc Bulger can still throw the ball, and he has a couple threats at the wide receiver position. Rams won this one 34-14.
Prediction: Miami will beat Baltimore 27-24.
Reasoning: Baltimore is old. they haven't really put together a complete game all season long.
Reality: Baltimore didn't dominate this game, but they pushed Miami around. They held the Dolphins rushing attack in check, and Joe Flacco protected the ball. The Ravens took this one 27-13, and the game wasn't really in question during the second half.
Prediction: San Diego will beat Buffalo 27-13.
Reasoning: The Chargers looked very good in stepping over the hapless Patriots last Monday night. Buffalo has looked a little shaky in beating some less-than-impressive teams.
Reality: The Chargers lost the turnover battle 0-3, and mustered only 263 yards. Buffalo looks good at home, and they don't appear to be slowing down as they head into a rough patch in the schedule. The Bills won 23-14.
