I have not received predictions from Mendicate Bias yet, everone else's are in.

Time for some bold predictions again. Last week I went 0-4, but that's why they are called "bold predictions"; you pick the unlikely to happen. However, the odds for the teams playing this week are a lot more even than last week, so the following predictions might not be all that bold when we are talking solely about winning.

NE@DEN: The Patriots are going to run a lot and Tom Brady will expose Denver's secondary after play-action calls early on. Peyton Manning and his Broncos will never recover from falling behind early, so they will suffer a crushing defeat. Patriots win 38-21.

SF@SEA: The last two times these teams played in Seattle, the Seahawks outscored the 49ers something along the lines of 72-16 combined. However, this time the Seahawks will surprise everyone by repeating a first-half-against-the-Buccaneers performance. The 49ers are a team that can close out games, so Zelhawks37 will write an incredibly entertaining meltdown post during the fourth quarter. 49ers win 30-10.
