Comments:
Mostly unanimous picks this week.The Saints can't lose at home three times in a row, can they?
The Cardinals enter probably the hardest stretch of their schedule, including road games at all three NFC West opponents. Drew Stanton will need to pass a pretty tough test if the Cardinals are going to hang onto the best record in the NFC.
The Patriots have a tough stretch ahead of them too. After the Lions, they have road games against the Packers and Chargers, before finishing up with a trio of divisional games.
The Lions play the second of their back-to-back road games at conference leading teams. The good news for them is after this week, they've got what should be a pretty easy schedule before finishing up going into Lambeau, for what could be the contest that decides which team takes the NFC North this year.
I'm not really sure why the Line has taken the Falcons over the Browns this week. The Falcons are 0-6 in games against teams outside the very bad NFC South. And while I think the Browns have been playing a little over their heads, they really should be able to take care of the Falcons (although they really should've been able to take care of the Jaguars back in week 7, too).
