NFL picks

Packers at Colts, 1 p.m. FOX

Green Bay still doesn't seem to have "it" this year yet, but I think it will do enough to get by the Colts in Indy.

Packers 24, Colts 17

Eagles at Steelers, 1 p.m. FOX

The Steelers rally this week and have a strong showing vs. Philly, picking up a big home win. The Eagles finally stopped turning the ball over last week vs. the Giants but I expect a couple in this game. Rashard Mendenhall could play for the Steelers and give the running game a boost.

Steelers 24, Eagles 20

Falcons at Redskins, 1 p.m. FOX

The Redskins can score with the best of them this year, but I think they will have a very difficult time stopping this potent Atlanta offense, which has yet to score less than 27 points.

Falcons 38, Redskins 30

Broncos at Patriots, 4:25 p.m. CBS

Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady renewed. Brady's gotten the best of Manning in their 12 meetings, going 8-4. The Patriots really got their offense churning last week in the second half against the Bills. Should be a pretty good amount of scoring in this one.

Patriots 31, Broncos 27

Chargers at Saints, 8:20 p.m. NBC

The Saints have gotten close in recent weeks to that first win and the Chargers have looked good against bad teams but the Saints offense presents a challenge, especially in New Orleans. The Saints are desperate for a victory. Should be a shootout.

Saints 38, Chargers 34

Texans at Jets, Monday night 8:30 p.m. ESPN

Things are starting to get ugly for the Jets. Not good with what is looking like the best team in football coming to town. New York should be hard pressed to score much on Houston's 'D.'

Texans 24, Jets 10
