Peter's Picks Peter Says: Chicago 23, Cincinnati 24 Fans Say: Bengals (54%)

I'm dying to know what Cincinnati is. First a ball bounces stupidly for the Bengals, and they lose a game they should have won. Then they win four games by the skin of their striped tails. Then the almighty Houston Texans hold them to three three-and-outs and three turnovers in the second half last week. I must be an idiot to be picking them. Why am I? Four words: the revenge of Cedric.

I know this after watching much of Cleveland-Pittsburgh: The Browns' defense will show up. But after losing D'Qwell Jackson for the year, Cleveland's run support will be a shell of itself.

Peter's Picks Peter Says: San Diego 23, Kansas City 16 Fans Say: Chargers (89%)

A must-win for the Chargers, or A.J. Smith would fire people on the charter home, before the plane left Missouri airspace. The one X factor in this game: Matt Cassel's on a pretty good roll (132 attempts without an interception, 6-0 touchdown-to-interception differential in the last four games), and the Chargers need someone to help the kid, Larry English, generate a rush to throw him out of rhythm.

Peter's Picks Peter Says: Indianapolis 40, St. Louis 14 Fans Say: Colts (99%)

Peyton Manning's only game in the Edward Jones Dome was a horrible loss -- a 42-17 pasting by the Greatest Show On Turf team in 2001 -- and produced some of the most pedestrian numbers of his life: 15 of 28, 195 yards, no touchdowns, one pick. If he has a game worse than that this week, this I vow: I will go a year without mentioning the words "Starbucks'' and "Red Sox'' in Monday Morning Quarterback. Promise.

Minnesota Vikings (9-1)

Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4)

Peter's Picks Peter Says: Minnesota 23, Pittsburgh 27 Fans Say: Steelers (66%)

If you're Mike Tomlin, what you've got to be telling your offense this week is: Possess the ball. Last week, the Ravens gave the Vikes 13 possessions ... and seven scores resulted. The Steelers are second in the league in time of possession (33:53 per game), but I think they need to go the extra miles this week: Receivers should sell out to stay inbounds, and go out of bounds under duress only if forced. Just a thought, coach.

Cheerio! As Roger Goodell flies to London this week, one of The Things I Think He Thinks is: Come on, Bill. Puh-leeeze. Don't run the score up this week. Not in this showcase game. Liked what Raheem Morris said Wednesday about the partially abbreviated practice schedule for the Bucs, who lose the Friday workout because they'll be flying across the pond that day. "You'll miss that extra little bit of time just preparing for Coach Belichick. Great.''

It's possible that Matt Schaub leads the NFL in normalcy. Nice guy. Not impressed with himself. All he cares about is the next play, the next game. Good to see him be the very odd answer to this question: Who leads the NFL in touchdown passes after six weeks?

I know what it's been like around the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets this week, and it hasn't been pleasant. The thought of a five-hour plane ride Sunday night with Rex Ryan stewing up front, wondering how bad practice will be all week if they lose ought to take the interception bug out of The Sanchize.

Last time they met in Charlotte, Doug Flutie threw for two touchdowns and Thurman Thomas ran for one. I daresay the men of Jauron would have a better shot Sunday with Flutie and Thurmanator in the starting lineup.

Matt Ryan's 7-1 in his last eight games. He's good on the road, and the Dallas pass-rush isn't going to bother him much. On the other side, I say John Abraham is going to be buzzing around Tony Romo's head all day.

You've heard all the stories about how Drew Brees is so happy to be in New Orleans, I can vouch for that.

What a great game, and I don't say that because I work for the rights-holder to it, NBC. I say it because Kurt Warner and Eli Manning are going to throw for 700 yards and six touchdowns, and it's going to come down to who makes the big play in the last five minutes. I say Eli gets the very bad taste from last week out of his mouth Sunday night.
