The New York Giants are coming off an embarrassing home loss to the Dallas Cowboys while the Philadelphia Eagles are fresh off of a game where they embarrassed the Washington Redskins. Can the Giants right the ship and steal the Eagles momentum?
The Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins – two of the more unpredictable teams in the NFL this season – match wits on Thursday night. While the Dolphins are at home, the short week figures to be a tough break for them after suffering some key injuries last Sunday.
The first time Donovan McNabb had a shot at his former team, the Washington Redskins not only walked into Philadelphia and beat the Eagles, they knocked out their starting quarterback Michael Vick. This time, Vick has his own revenge to exact as the Eagles visit FedEx Field.
Sunday NFL Betting – The Pats Have Brady & Belichick…But Is That Enough?
The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football in what could very well turn out to be the AFC Championship Game in early 2011. This is a real litmus test for both teams – particularly the Patriots, who have been heavily scrutinized after a bad loss in Cleveland.
The Kansas City Chiefs coughed up part of their AFC West lead last week in Oakland and a second straight loss in Denver would call the pessimists out of the woodwork. The Broncos are well-rested off of a bye week and this game is their season. Don’t expect them to be as flat as they were last time they were playing on Invesco Field.
The Pittsburgh Steelers played the New Orleans Saints close, but didn’t win. Now, the co-leaders of the AFC North will try to get back on the beam against in-division rival Cincinnati.
Everything was going so well for the Pittsburgh Steelers last week inside the Louisiana Superdome. The AFC’s most successful franchise over the past six seasons had just produced a bold defensive stand and trailed the defending champion New Orleans Saints by only three points, 13-10.
The Dallas Cowboys’ lost season continues Sunday night, as a banged-up and limited team goes on the road to play an increasingly confident Green Bay squad.
This is a nightmare the Dallas Cowboys simply can’t escape.
Their season was going poorly even with Tony Romo at quarterback, but when Dallas’ signal caller suffered a broken collar bone and was forced to miss eight weeks as a result, the Cowboys’ ability to be competitive took a major hit.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Atlanta Falcons share a 5-2 record and the lead in the NFC South Division. They meet on the first weekend of November.
In this wacky 2010 NFL season – a year in which the entire NFC is bunched up and in which the San Diego Chargers are 3-5 at the midway point – very few things make sense at the present moment.
The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts are battling for first place in the AFC South and with both teams coming off a bye week, they should be fresh and ready for a shootout on Monday night.
Take a look back at their Week One win and run the ball. The Texans absolutely ran over the Indianapolis Colts in their first matchup of the season and they’ll have to do the same to be victorious on Monday Night Football.
The Pittsburgh Steelers needed to tread water during the Ben Roethlisberger suspension; instead they went 3-1 before winning two straight prior to their big match against the defending Super Bowl champ. The Steelers escaped with a win last week in Miami, getting a friendly fumble call late in the game but they played well enough to win and have definitely earned their current stature as the class of the AFC.
Whether or not one believes the Miami Dolphins were ripped off in last week’s loss to the Steelers, one single fact remains. Miami is 3-3 in a division where the top two teams (New England and New York) are 5-1. Miami can ill afford to lose any more winnable games, something that has been their forte in 2010.
The Dallas Cowboys are 1-4, but they aren’t dead in the water. If they have any hope of making the playoffs, though, it starts with a big home win on Monday Night Football against the New York Giants, who conveniently happen to be one of the teams they are chasing in the NFC East.
When Brett Favre returned to Lambeau Field last season, the visit couldn’t have gone better. Favre threw for 244 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions, en route to a 38-26 win.
What’s in store for Favre’s return visit to the Frozen Tundra? Maybe an easier test against a banged up Packers squad.
The San Diego Chargers are coming off yet another disappointing road loss. Once again, a slow start under Norv Turner has cost the Chargers a chance to be playing from ahead and now, at 2-4, they face what would be a must-win in most cases this Sunday.
The Tennessee Titans were one of the streakiest teams in the NFL in 2009 and the same appears to be true in 2010. They have impressive road wins over the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys in the last three weeks sandwiched in between a discouraging home loss to the Denver Broncos. Now the Titans head on the road to face a Jaguars team that has won two straight games.
The Indianapolis Colts have yet to put forth a complete game this season but they are still at 3-2 and are favored to be 4-2 heading into their bye. What stands in the way is the Washington Redskins, a team that is far-improved over last year’s version.
It’s prime time Sunday Night Football, which means we should see the best Peyton Manning we’ve seen yet.
