Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos: 

This is an easy game for the Broncos. The Raiders have been playing better, but they have had their success at home and they are going to Denver and will get defeated. Denver will secure their bye week. They will work on getting their offense back on track and Peyton Manning can find his old form back.

Winner: Denver Broncos 

Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers: 

This is the best game of the week. The winner will most likely have the number two seed in the NFC. The first game these two played was a defensive battle the Lions won. The Lions have the exact type of team that has given the Packers trouble all year. If the Lions can put pressure on Aaron Rodgers they will have success. The Lions also didn’t have Megatron in the last matchup. The Packers have been unstoppable at home, and it will be up  to Aaron Rodgers to keep that going. The key for the Packers will be Eddie Lacy. If Lacy can get going against the stiff Lions run defense, I don’t think the Lions will stand a chance. On the other side, the Lions need Matt Stafford  to play better than he has lately , in order to win this game. I think it will be a very good game, and really could go either way, but I think  Aaron Rodgers will lead the Packers to a tight win.

Winner: Green Bay Packers 

Next: Can the Bengals get revenge?
