Lucas' Lookout: New Orleans at Atlanta (Sunday, 1:00 p.m. FOX)
Well, Michael Vick survived a pounding by the Steelers; and just barely. A huge fourth quarter effort by Vick helped the Falcons come back from a 34-17 deficit to tie Pittsburgh. A roughed up Vick will lead the Falcons against the Saints on Sunday afternoon. Don't forget what happened the last time these two teams met. The Saints were victimized by Atlanta, as Vick himself led the Falcons to a huge fourth quarter comeback effort and a 37-35 win. Look for New Orleans to put the pressure on Vick early, and try for one sweet thing; revenge.
Prediction: New Orleans - 24; Atlanta - 20
Kepple's Korner: San Francisco at San Diego (Sunday, 4:05 p.m Fox)
This is a huge game midseason game for both teams. The Chargers started out of the gate with a 6-1 record but now are in danger of dropping their 3rd straight game and seeing their chances of claiming the AFC west title slipping away. The 49ers on the other hand have been very steady all year and have been just doing enough to win games. The 49ers passing game is fueled by their ability to run the ball and it just so happens that the Chargers have one of the top run defenses in the league. Look for the Chargers win a close one which will be decided by single digits.
Prediction: San Diego- 20; San Francisco-14
