Last season, a game against Buffalo was the worst thing that could happen to a quarterback. This year, Tom Brady, Eli Manning, and Andrew Luck have each posted their best game against the Bills. Marcus Mariota faces Buffalo this week fresh off a bye, so this week could be Super Mario 2.

Kansas City has played 3 straight teams that are still undefeated, and Jamaal Charles had no problem running against any of them. This week he faces Chicago, which has just a single win, so he should have another great game.

Alshon Jeffery has missed three straight games with a hamstring injury, and he's not a guarantee to play this week, but KC has been giving up tons of touchdowns to receivers so far this year, and who else is Cutler going to throw to, besides the Chiefs defense?

Gostkowski was the best kicker last year, and he was the top scorer at the position in each of dis last two games. It's very safe to play him against Dallas.

The Giants defense has been strong this year, and this week they are facing Colin Kaepernick, the pick-6 machine. This is a dream matchep.
