for the Pats, I wouldn't worry at all about absence of Gronk. he's been injured so often over the past few years, they're used to playing without him, and there's no better team at playing to the strengths of their personnel against their opponent's weaknesses.
i also like the Cincy pick. mostly b/c the Bears just allowed the 49ers to rack up 400 yards of offense and only scored 7 offensive points at home. the Bengals O looked pretty crisp last night, take away a couple of real questionable penalties, and the Bengals win that game last night against one of the best teams in the league. so as long as they didn't get too beat up, they look pretty capable of handling the Bears at home.

Keep in mind that Peterman is probably in for Buffalo against Indy.
But it would not surprise me one bit if they figured out a way to win with him. I'm sure he has a chip on his shoulder from throwing 5 picks last game he played.
I actually like Chicago to at least cover. Cincy's got nothing to play for anymore. They're going to be missing Iloka from suspension, Burfict has a concussion but I bet he plays, and Pacman Jones got hurt too.
Cincy has a terrible run defense, so Howard could have some room. That combined with Cincy's injured/suspended secondary could make things a little easier for Trubisky.
Chicago's defense is actually pretty good. They've got a nice secondary and can get to the QB. The total is very low (37) for a reason, but mostly having to do with Chicago.
Also take a look at the Broncos. Tough to ever bet on them, but they still have a very talented offense outside of the QB. They still have Von Miller on defense. Jets probably riding a little high after an offensive explosion against a soft Chiefs defense. And it's always tough to play in Denver (altitude).
