Indianapolis Colts (9-0) [-2] at Baltimore Ravens (5-4)

San Diego Chargers (6-3) [-1] at Denver Broncos (6-3)
Atlanta Falcons (5-4) at New York Giants (5-4) [-0]
Seattle Seahawks (3-6) at Minnesota Vikings (8-1) [-5]
New York Jets (4-5) at New England Patriots (6-3) [-4]
San Francisco 49ers (4-5) at Green Bay Packers (5-4) [-3]
Miami Dolphins (4-5) [-2] at Carolina Panthers (4-5)

Philadelphia Eagles (5-4) [-4] at Chicago Bears (4-5)
Washington Redskins (3-6) at Dallas Cowboys (6-3) [-5]
Tennessee Titans (3-6) at Houston Texans (5-4) [-5]
Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) [-7] at Kansas City Chiefs (2-7)
Cincinnati Bengals (7-2) [-10] at Oakland Raiders (2-7)
New Orleans Saints (9-0) [-13] at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-8)
Cleveland Browns (1-8) at Detroit Lions (1-8) [-1]
Arizona Cardinals (6-3) [-11] at St. Louis Rams (1-8)

I'm not sure if I agree with my own program's pick for GOTW. The computer program I wrote uses a formula combining team's wins and points scored. Indianapolis and Baltimore scores high because it is considered close compared to other games.

Personally, I would go for the Chargers-Broncos game. It's got the healthy mix of wins, expected closeness and teams fighting for the division lead. That and the added benefit of San Diego edging out Denver from the playoffs last season and there'll be plenty to enthrall the masses.

I also can't help noticing that the Cleveland and Detroit game isn't slated for this week's Game of the Weak. The only thing going for it is the fact that it is expected to be close. Probably because neither team will have much luck scoring. Expect turnovers and special teams to decide this one.
