Three observations ...• Bucs defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth returns to Tennessee on Sunday to play the Titans, the only team he's played for on which he wasn't an underachieving joke.
• Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was willing to pay Kyle Orton more than $2 million just so he wouldn't end up in Chicago. Dallas' waiver claim would have trumped the Bears' had the Chiefs not put in a claim also.
• Tebowmania prevented the Chargers from having their second TV blackout of the season. The Vikings hope it helps them avoid their first TV blackout since 1997, when the Broncos visit next week.
Two bold predictions ...• Carolina wins at Indy, St. Louis beats the Cardinals and the Vikings move up to No. 2 on the 2012 draft board.
• Mr. Hanie and Da Bears will beat the sloppy Raiders in Oakland for their seventh consecutive victory.
