Buffalo Bills (3-7)

Peter's Picks Peter Says: Houston 27, Buffalo 20 Fans Say: Texans (81%)

Playing in Buffalo on Nov. 1, you're liable to get any kind of weather. Matt Schaub leads all passers in yards and touchdowns, and for the Texans to make the playoffs in a competitive AFC Wild Card situation, this is precisely the kind of game he has to win. No excuses.

We don't talk or react strongly enough when great players like Walter Jones go on IR and appear to be finished. Big Walt's a very big loss.

In the Obscurity Bowl, give me the team playing at home with the better-protected quarterback. Now, if Matthew Stafford doesn't play, all bets are off. But I'll take that risk.

Green Bay Packers (6-4)

Peter's Picks Peter Says: Minnesota 27, Green Bay 23 Fans Say: Vikings (53%)

No one, not even Brett Favre, can imagine what it'll be like for him when he steps on the field Sunday. No one, not even Favre, can know now how much the emotion of the moment will figure into his play. I think both quarterbacks will play well here, but I think Favre will play a lot like he did in Minnesota when the emotions were sky-high for him. Which is to say, he's going to play very well under pressure. And cascading boos.

Miami Dolphins (5-5)

New York Jets (4-6)

Peter's Picks Peter Says: Miami 26, New York 24 Fans Say: Jets (61%)

Is the Wildcat the most two-faced scheme in recent history? The Dolphins shredded the Jets with it three weeks ago, while another pressure defense, New Orleans, slowed it down. I bet Rex Ryan had the Jets working OT this week to figure out how to stop Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. So Tony Sparano counterpunches with Chad Henne throwing 40 passes Sunday.

Peter's Picks Peter Says: Denver 16, Baltimore 20 Fans Say: Ravens (63%)

Hardest game of the week to pick. Baltimore has lost three in a row -- by six at New England, by three to Cincinnati on a couple of dumb penalties on the winning Bengal drive, and by two to Minnesota after scoring 21 in the last 10 minutes. Ravens will be the more desperate team Sunday. Just a hunch.

The smallest TV audience of the season (with Favre at Lambeau on Fox on the opposite channel in two small markets) sees an incredibly inconsequential game. Maybe this is just the anonymity Vince Young needs to shine.

San Diego Chargers (7-3)

Peter's Picks Peter Says: Oakland 10, San Diego 34 Fans Say: Chargers (97%)

The Raiders have to be gagging -- in the locker room, in the coaches' offices, and in Al Davis' suite -- at JaMarcus Russell saying the three turnovers in the first 14 minutes last week against the Jets weren't his fault. It's pathetic. What does that mean for this game? Not much, other than no one in Oakland can have any faith in this guy.

Philadelphia Eagles (6-4)

Peter's Picks Peter Says: New York 24, Philadelphia 30 Fans Say: Giants (62%)

There's a reason why Andy Reid took LeSean McCoy in the second round last April, and the reason will be apparent Sunday against the Giants. He can block, he can catch the ball out of the backfield, and while he doesn't have the cutting ability of Brian Westbrook, he does have the interior toughness and the ability to break a run or two outside.

Here's a sports quiz for you. True or false: The Saints' running game is ranked higher in the NFL than the Saints' passing game. True. New Orleans is second in the league with 154.5 rushing yards per game. The Saints are sixth in passing yards. Now that is one unexpected little factoid.
