NFL rankings

The Colts haven't lost to an NFC team in regular season games (6-0) since coach Jim Caldwell took over. They did lose to an NFC team in the Super Bowl, but Philly isn't super.

Prediction: Colts, 31-24

COWBOYS (1-6) AT PACKERS (5-3)

6:20 p.m., Ch. 5

Dallas reached new lows in allowing the Jaguars to score 35 points and making quarterback David Garrard look competent. The Packers will make them fall deeper.

Prediction: Packers, 52-6

STEELERS (5-2) AT BENGALS (2-5)

6:30 p.m. Monday, ESPN

The Steelers usually win in Cincinnati — taking eight straight meetings there before last season. As we've learned, this year's Bengals team is nothing like the 2009 version.

Prediction: Steelers, 33-21

DOLPHINS (4-3) AT RAVENS (5-2)

11 a.m., Ch. 2

Predictions

Miami has won six straight road games dating back to last season and could catch Baltimore napping after a bye. The Dolphins will have to score touchdowns to win. They won't.

Prediction: Ravens, 16-15

CARDINALS (3-4) AT VIKINGS (2-5)

11 a.m., Ch. 13

Wow, FOX, thanks for showing this barnburner on local TV. If the Ravens-Dolphins game isn't good, feel free to rake leaves. Do the laundry. Read a book. Plan your week ...

Prediction: Vikings, 7-6
