Guess we’ll see what the Cincinnati Bengals are made of over the next two weeks. Even the Bengals concede that important AFC North games against Baltimore on Sunday and Pittsburgh the following week will go a long way toward shaping the division for the second half of the season and in particular determining just how far the franchise has come in re-shaping a team that has been in disarray for several years.
It’s fish-or-cut-bait time in San Diego, where the Chargers are planning for the most important two games of the season. Battles against the Giants this Sunday and Philadelphia a week from then will pretty much determine whether San Diego has the stones to stay within shouting distance of first-place Denver (or at least a playoff berth) in the AFC West.
The Houston Texans have undoubtedly been one of the most frustrating teams to cheer for in the NFL this year. They are currently 4-3 but had they not been stuffed on the one-yard line in two separate fourth quarters (against the Jacksvonille Jaguars and the Arizona Cardinals), they could be 6-1.

The Denver Broncos are a perfect 6-0 on the year and are one of only three remaining undefeated teams in the NFL. They’ll get another tough test this week as they head to Baltimore to face a Ravens team that also was once perfect this season.
The Ravens started the year with three straight wins, were atop the NFC North and were considered to be one of the best teams in the league. But after three straight losses with their defense letting them down time and time again, a lot of people are wondering how good this Ravens unit really is.

With a rock-solid offensive line, a top-3 defense and a power running game, you’d figure that the Giants would be pretty much recession-proof. And starting the season with five wins only added to New York’s aura of invincibility. Losing to New Orleans by three touchdowns put a few dings in the driver’s side door, but those things happen –
Brett Favre is a good old boy from Mississippi, and he proved earlier this week just why the percentage of good old boys from Mississippi in Mensa is pretty low.
In a seeming never-ending effort to stick it to the management of the Green Bay Packers, who signed his hefty paychecks for some 16 years, Favre said that his current employer, Minnesota, is the most talented team he’s ever played on.
The old, grizzled gunslinger is going to mosey back into town for a showdown with his former protégé on Sunday.
In other words, Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings visit Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday (4:15 pm ET, FOX), an NFL matchup many Football Betting fans have had circled on their calendars since the schedule was released.

Atlanta Falcons (4-1) at Dallas Cowboys (3-2)
NFL Football: Sunday October 25, 2009 4:15 PM EST
The Line: Dallas Cowboys -4
The Dallas Cowboys look to regroup following a bye week as the red hot Atlanta Falcons come to town.
Up is down is up in Pittsburgh, where the running game is in shambles and Ben Roethisberger and Hines Ward have become the most dangerous pass-catch combination in the league.
The defending Super Bowl champs have basically re-invented themselves on the fly after early-season losses losses to Chicago and Cincinnati put them in an early hole in the AFC North. Gone is the reliance on the power running game, replaced by Roethlisberger firing the ball all over the field.
Mark Sanchez has an NFL arm. Anyone who has seen him throw a football more than once or twice is convinced of that.
Sanchez also has kahones. He proved that in his second game as a pro when he engineered second-half drives in a victory over the Patriots, and in the process outplayed Tom Brady.
The big game in the NFL this weekend pits the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings against the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at Heinz Field.
NFL Odds at betED.com have the Steelers as 5-point home favorites and the over/under at 45.
