Oakland @ Jacksonville
Oakland's passing game worries me, but not too much. I'm thinking Carr is going to play in a similar fashion to what we saw out of Hoyer last week. Nothing more than a Five-Step drop, find the first guy open, get the ball out of there. Their running game, not so much. I think the front seven can handle it without too much concern. They have posted three straight games of <100 yards on the ground so I'd love to keep that trend going.
As for their Defense vs the JAX Offense, I think everything start with the passing game this week. Make them concerned about the deep pass, and run underneath them when it's open. I don't think it'll be a marquee day for Yeldon and Ivory, but I do think they can be effective similar to that first drive in Chicago. Jack is notorious for not traveling well, and I'm thinking that the humidity in the 904 may catch them by surprise. Gimme Jacksonville to take this one at home, 27-23
Indianapolis @ Tennessee
The stinkin' tacks have put together a nice little Defense with Orakpo already having posted seven sacks this year. He and Derrick Morgan are probably going to make Luck's day a long, painful one if Indy can't has to rely on him to move the ball. This, accompanied with Tennessee's dedication to the run should prove to be a big issue for Indianapolis. I think Tennessee wins a close one.
Houston @ Denver
Brock back in Denver?! Easy money. Denver for the win.
