4:15 p.m. ET: Dallas at Green Bay.
The Packers finally found their bearings last week, and they will get Ahman Green going early and mix in some deep passes off play-action. The Cowboys have had problems with mental mistakes and will struggle to stay in it Prediction: Packers 27, Cowboys 17.
1 p.m. ET: Detroit at N.Y. Giants.
The Giants have been winning with a simple formula--a strong ball-control offense and a takeaway-driven defense. They will show no respect for the Lions' anemic running game and pressure quarterback Joey Harrington into some critical mistakes late. Prediction: Giants 23, Lions 20.

Jacksonville at Indianapolis. Byron Leftwich is starting to display throwing prowess and make clutch plays, but he will have a tough time getting his unit to keep up with the production of the Colts' rested, explosive and balanced offense. Prediction: Colts 28, Jaguars 24.
N.Y. Jets at New England. The matchup of the AFC's two remaining unbeaten teams should be a thriller. These familiar foes should go back and forth, with Tom Brady and Chad Pennington both making big plays. The difference will be the coaching and experience edge owned by the defending Super Bowl champs. Prediction: Patriots 24, Jets 21.
