The Bears are in good really shape after beating Dallas rather easily on Monday night. They are currently tied for the lead in the NFC North and their next 4 games are very winnable. Perhaps none more so than this week’s trip to Jacksonville.
The Bills absolutely fell apart last week.
It might seem obvious but this team is just not good enough, or mentally tough enough, to afford any mistakes…and when they come in bunches they are literally dead in the water.

Kansas State has won 3 straight games in this in-state rivalry and they will be hosting Kansas, who has lost 3 straight after winning their season opener.
Ole Miss (3-2) has only lost to ranked teams this season, but their wins have not come against any good teams. Texas A&M (3-1) lost their first game of the season to a ranked Florida team and since then they have won 3 straight including laying a beat down on Arkansas.
Oklahoma (2-1) is coming off their first loss of the season and they are now 0-1 in Big 12 play. They now face a Texas Tech team that is 4-0 and the Red Raiders have not lost a home game to Oklahoma at home since the 2003 season.
South Carolina (5-0) has won 2 straight over Georgia (5-0) including beating them in a 45-42 shootout at Georgia last season.
This sweet Big 12 match up pits Texas (4-0) and their solid defense against West Virginia (4-0) and their offense that has scored the 3rd most points in the nation.
The Broncos sent a message by throttling Oakland last week. How much that message takes will depend on how they perform against New England. In the second half last week Denver showed just how good this team can be.
Headline: Seahawks Look to Add to Carolina’s Woes Sunday
Two teams coming off stinging losses meet in Carolina on Sunday when the surprising 1-3 Panthers host the equally surprising Seahawks. It is your classic top tier offense vs. top tier defense clash. But only one of these units is playing their best ball going into Sunday’s contest.

The LSU Tigers have continued to slip in the rankings despite their 5-0 record, and a win against the No. 10 Florida Gators would do wonders for their BCS title hopes midway through the season.

The Iowa State Cyclones and the No. 15 TCU Horned Frogs meet this week in what could be one of the more underrated games in all of college football this weekend.

The Big Ten race is wide open this year. Ohio State and Penn State have looked as good as anyone in the league, but they aren’t eligible for the conference title. Michigan has been humbled a couple times, but the Wolverines are still one of the best teams in a conference that is down.
There was every reason to think the Huskies program might slide after last year success especially because they graduated do everything QB Chandler Harnish.
