Redskins 14, Seahawks 35 (wrong)

Man, I pegged this one all wrong. Seahawks played with a lot of heart and the "12th man" really came through for them. The Redskins looked tired after so many away games. I really thought when they came back to take the lead, that they would hold on and win it. But the Seahawks were able to grab the momentum right back and played to win.

Jaguars 31, Steelers 29 (right)

Much closer on this one; it was a tight game, the Jaguars showed their balance and efficiency in the red zone. The injuries hurt the Steelers mostly in that it made them rely on Rothlisburger too much. Ben hasn't really ever proven he can be the reason that the Steelers win; he's a great game-manager, but needs a good running game to take the pressure off and the defense to play well.

Giants 24, Bucs 14 (wrong)

The Giants came to play. And they had a good game plan to keep Manning successful. It is always tough to judge which Giants team will show for any given game. Garcia made some uncharacteristic mistakes and the Bucs defense wasn't its usual self-- especially against the pass.

Titans 6, Chargers 17 (right)

I thought this game would be much higher scoring. Young proved my point, being streaky and lacking accuracy. Turner and Rivers also proved my points, but not coaching well and not playing well for the first half. However, SD came out strong in the second half and got rolling. Some smart plays and some bad defensive play on the Titans allowed SD to take a commanding lead and hold on for the win.
