Kirk Cousins has done a nice job filling in for the injured RGIII. He has just as many TDs as Eli (5) despite playing a game less. The Redskins are in the top 10 in both rushing yards and passing yards allowed. Last week, they were able to keep McCoy and Sproles contained on the road in a losing effort. If the Giants are unable to run the football, they will not be able to win this game relying on their air attack. Even though it looked better last week against the Texans (the worst team in the league a year ago who did not have their number one draft pick playing), their passing game has looked out of sync for most of the season. The new offensive coordinator just doesn't seem to be the right fit. The Skins did lose to the Texans, but that game was on the road and Kirk Cousins did not play in that game. The Giants secondary should give up big plays to Jackson and Garcon and the Redskins should force the Giants to become one dimensional and force Eli into some mistakes. I like the Skins at home to win this one.

The Lions have allowed the fewest yards per game this season. They are also 3rd in fewest points allowed. The Jets and Lions are number 1 and 2 in fewest rushing yards allowed. However, the Jets rank 2nd in rushing yards per game while the Lions are in the bottom third of the league in running the football. The Lions are 6th in passing yards while the Jets are 18th. This shows that the Jets rely heavily on the run, and the Lions are equipped to stop it. Meanwhile, the Jets have a makeshift secondary and will be challenged to stop the best receiver in football in Calvin Johnson and his receiver teammates. Stafford should have a big day through the air spreading the ball to the receivers and tight ends. Geno Smith continues to hurt his team with turnovers. He has 3 touchdowns to his 4 interceptions thus far. He has also fumbled once. I don't think he will be able to make enough plays against this Detroit defense to keep pace with Stafford.
Falcons -3
Matt Ryan vs a rookie QB in Bridgewater. The Falcons have their struggles on the road, but I don't see it happening against a mediocre Vikings defense who they have had more than a week to prepare for. Atlanta doesn't have a great defense, but their offense is ranked number one in points per game in the NFL and it is a tough task for a rookie QB making his first career start to match that kind of production. He will not have the safety valve that Adrian Peterson would have been either. This is a confident Falcons team coming off a huge blowout win against Tampa. I see them carrying the momentum into this game.
Patriots -3
I don't see Tom Brady losing to Alex Smith in primetime. The Patriots defense has been excellent so far, as they rank in the top 5 in points allowed and in yards allowed. They are also tied for the league lead with 6 interceptions. Kansas City doesn't have explosive receivers, and one of them will be on Revis island at all times. Alex Smith will have trouble finding his targets and will rely heavily on his tight end, as he has done all season. Charles is expected to return but he doesn't have the offensive line to run behind as last year. Bill Belichick knows this and should gameplan accordingly. On the flipside, Tom Brady should be able to be efficient against a defense that has only forced one turnover this whole season. KC is not as strong of a team as last year and it will be made more apparent on Monday night.
