1. Tampa Bay -1 over Green Bay
Tampa Bay has great a defense, both rushing and passing, which is capable of forcing an inexperienced quarterback to make mistakes. This will be Rodgers' first true road test in an intimidating and aggressive environment. With regards to Tampa Bay's offense, I can see them being slowed down on their passing game, but rushing offense will dominate and give them control of the game.
2. Philadelphis -3 over Chicago
Eagles are close to being perfect, and their passing game is unstoppable. Chicago's defense looked horrible so far, and with Eagles' close to perfect offense, they will look even worse. The only way that Chicago can win this game, is by putting up point. And so far, Eagles' defense was successful at shutting down opposing teams' offense. The only offense that Eagles had issue with is Dallas. Dallas is currently ranked 1st overall. Furthermore, this game took place in Dallas stadium, and it was a point scoring blowout. The defense did bounce back in the next game against Pittsburgh, shutting them down. A fact is that Chicago can't pass well enough to score a lot of points, which they will desperately need.
3. San Diego -7.5 over Oakland
This is going to be a ground (running) game, since both teams have a horrible passing offense and decent passing defense. The biggest problem for both teams is each others' strengths. Both teams can run the ball, but they cannot stop it. The only reason why I think San Diego will take this one down is because of running back LaDainian Tomlinson, who is probable for Sunday's game against Oakland. He tends to score about three touchdowns against Oakland in any of the meeting between each other. Furthermore, San Diego tends to constantly dominate Oakland, whether it is on road or at home.
