VERDICTMinny gets a relatively easy win at home

Mike Singletary knows who his best player is, and will make sure that he's more heavily involved this weekespecially considering he's facing a run D that has been beaten up by opposing backs all season.On the other side, Maurice Jones-Drew has been absolutely stellar all season long. However, this week the Jags may not use him as much as they normally do The reason San Fran is the No. 30.That means David Garrard is going to have some opportunities to make some plays down the field and make San Fran pay for stacking the box against MJD.This game could go either way, but I like San Fran to win. Cutler has been as pedestrian as I've seen any QB, and Matt Forte has forgotten how to hit the hole.Minnesota is a great team, and will show up to play in this game. Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson will both have good days and make the Bears' and Lovie Smith's day extremely long.VERDICT:Minny gets a relatively easy win at home..

Conversely, Matt Leinart, a member of the same draft class as Young, looked shaky and intimidated last week in backup duty for Kurt Warner.The thing about this game is this: The Titans have the No. We all know he's not going to beat you, but he can do enough to allow his teammates to.At the time of this writing, Arizona is unsure about Kurt Warner's status. If he does start, I'd say that Arizona has the upper hand, as he can tear you apart. If he doesn't, and it's Leinart, the Cards' chances go down dramatically.VERDICT:Operating on the assumption that Kurt Warner isn't available, I'm going with Tennessee. This is going to be a stellar game. I could analyze it seven ways from Sunday; however, I feel that any analysis is kind of pointless because it all goes out the window when these two teams play.Baltimore looks like the more beatable of the two, but Pittsburgh looks like they've kind of hit a bump in the road as well. Both teams have terrific defenses, and both have offenses that can either light opponents up, or just sneak bydepending on the week.I like the Steelers here, only because they have the No. 1 rushing D in the NFL, and Baltimore's most potent offensive weapon is Ray Rice.

Pittsburgh can neutralize him, and probably will.VERDICT:Pittsburgh gets a win on the back of their D in Baltimore.. This is going to be the best game of the week in my opinion.The Saints are 10-0 looking to make it 11-0 and the Patriots were riding this train just a couple of season ago.I think the difference in this game is going to be the D.Both of these teams can score points in bunches and can make opposing defenses look silly for even trying.Drew Brees has maybe the most dynamic offense in the league, and Tom Brady's connection with Randy Moss is looking an awful lot like the connection they had in 2007.This is going to be a back and forth game, and I think it will come down to the last possession.Both defenses are going to be under fire, and New Orleans' D is the one that looks more beatable to me.That's why I think Randy Moss and Tom Brady have good days and really make a statement going into the playoff crunch.VERDICT:The winning streak stops at 10 for the Saints and New England gets a HUGE win in the dome..
