ROBBIE GOULD
Bears AT Patriots

For his part, Gould has been perfect this year. (He's 24 of 24 on field goal attempts.) But the Chicago offense has slowed to a crawl, which eliminates those 4-for-4 games Gould enjoyed in September. Also, after a tame day on the FieldTurf at Giants Stadium on Sunday, don't expect such kicker-friendly conditions in Foxborough.

RAVENS VS. Steelers

Miller's slump aside, Pittsburgh can still put up points. The Steelers are eighth in the league in scoring (23.9 points a game), and they've been especially hot since they struggled against San Diego in Week 5. In its last six games the team has averaged 29.7 points, and QB Ben Roethlisberger has thrown for 291 yards per game.

TROY WILLIAMSON
WR VIKINGS

When he was selected out of South Carolina in April 2005, this speedster drew favorable comparisons with Randy Moss, the player he was drafted to replace in the Minnesota passing attack. But Williamson has failed to duplicate his predecessor's stats even at Moss's discounted Oakland rates, let alone at his All-Pro level with the Vikings. Williamson's three catches over his last three games and his two career TDs (both last season) are sure signs that the hype surrounding his fantasy potential completely outstrips his productivity.
