Sky Sports News' Richard Graves previews the weekend's NFL action and gives his predictions for the next round of games.

Bye teams: Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 19

Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts - Live on Sky Sports 2, 5.30pm

Live NFL

This could be one of the best match ups in week 7. The Bengals who were once 3-0, haven't won in 2 games after Sunday's tie with Carolina while the Colts who were once 0-2 are now riding a 4 game winning streak!

Bengals QB Andy Dalton is once again expected to be without his star WR AJ Green as he nurses a toe injury so Mohammed Sanu will again be asked to fill the breach after having 10 catches for 120 yards and a TD against the Panthers while RB Giovani Bernard proved he's a home run hitter from anywhere on the field with his 89 yard TD run. 

The Colts are full of confidence with Andrew Luck pulling the strings from QB and WR TY Hilton having his best game of the season as he hauled in 9 catches for 223 yards and a TD in last Thursday night's win over the Texans.  On the road and minus AJ Green, the Bengals winless run could be set to continue.

Pick: Indianapolis Colts

New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys - Live on Sky Sports 2, 9pm

Live NFL

A week ago, this looked like one of the best games in week 7 but after the Giants emphatic loss in Philladelphia, it'll be a big surprise if they can beat a Dallas team which has been the talk of the NFL all week. 

The Giants looked more like the week 1 team which couldn't do anything right in Detroit as they lost 27-0 to the Eagles and to compound their problems, they lost WR Victor Cruz for the season with a knee injury. 

Few expected Dallas to win in Seattle. No one expected them to dominate the Super Bowl champions as they did. The Cowboys ran the ball for 162 yards, Seattle hadn't allowed more than 62 rushing yards in a game this season. Dallas held the ball for over 37 minutes to Seattle's 22 minutes and a Defense which was supposed to be overwhelmed by the Seahawks completely shut down the champions as Marshawn Lynch managed just 61 yards on the ground. 

At a time when many believe this to be a Quarterback driven league, the Cowboys are relying on their Offensive line and the League's leading rusher, DeMarco Murray - and it's proving to be a winning formula. Murray will be the first Running Back in NFL history to start the season with 7, 100 rushing yard games if he does it this weekend, breaking Jim Brown's record which has stood since 1958.

Pick: Dallas Cowboys

Atlanta Falcons @ Baltimore Ravens

Atlanta's Offensive Line has been ravaged by injuries this season and it's beginning to show. Chicago were able to sack QB Matt Ryan 4 times, limit Atlanta to just 12, 1st downs and grabbed an interception on their way to a 27-13 win in the Georgia Dome. It's a result which leaves the Falcons in 3rd place in the NFC South with a 2-4 record. On the positive side, Guard Justin Blalock did return but he couldn't prevent the Falcons slipping to a 3rd successive defeat. 

The Ravens wrapped up their 4th win of the season inside the 1st qtr as they romped to victory over the hapless Tampa Bay Buccaneers. QB Joe Flacco threw for 306 yards and 5 TDs and Baltimore are now just half a game outside of 1st place in the AFC North. Given Atlanta's injury problems, it's tough t
