Defense to start: Baltimore Ravens - Baltimore has only been allowing 16.3 points a game this season. They face Seattle and I'm expecting a dominating performance. I think Baltimore will hold them under 10 points and score a return touchdown.

Defenses to avoid: Arizona Cardinals - The Cardinals travel to Philadelphia and face a team that will be very motivated to stay in the playoff picture. They also have been giving up 117 yards a game on the ground, which means LeSean McCoy will probably have a big game.

Cleveland Browns - Cleveland has been a pretty good defense this season but they do give up a ton of yards on the ground. Their opponent this week is St. Louis and I see a huge day for Steven Jackson on the ground. It would be best to use another defense this week.

Minnesota Vikings - The Vikings defense has performed pretty well at times but their secondary is not very strong. With a trip to Green Bay on tap and the points they produce, the Minnesota defense needs to be avoided.
