Giants (6-3) @ Eagles (6-3), 8:20PM ET
As if this matchup wasn’t juicy enough on its own, the Giants had to go out and get steamrolled by the Cowboys last Sunday while the Michael Vick’s absolutely crushed the Redskins on Monday night. Now everyone is left wondering if the G-Men are caught in one of their Tom Coughlin-led funks and whether or not the Eagles are the team to beat. We’ll find out a lot about these two teams as well as the state of the NFC East on Sunday night.
CURRENT ODDS: EAGLES –3
Colts (6-3) @ Patriots (7-2), 4:15PM ET
Two weeks ago, everyone couldn’t stop talking about how vulnerable the Patriots were after they lost to the Browns. Then they went into Pittsburgh last Sunday night and burned Heinz Field to the ground while once again reminding us never to doubt a Bill Belichick-led team – especially following a loss. Even though the Colts have held their ground, Peyton Manning’s receiving corps has been decimated by injury and you wonder if that will eventually take a toll. A win would be insurmountable for both teams this weekend.
CURRENT ODDS: PATRIOTS –3.5
Packers (6-3) @ Vikings (3-6), 1:00PM ET
Even with all of their injuries, the Packers have looked great over the past couple of weeks. But they need to be careful here. The Vikings needed a miracle comeback to beat the Cardinals two weeks ago and then played poorly against the Bears last Sunday. The Packers aren’t going to overlook a division rival on the road, but it’s human nature to think that the circus that has come to Minnesota this season isn’t leaving any time soon (i.e. the Vikings are primed for another beating). Plus, every couple of weeks Brett Favre has one of those games were he comes out and wills his team to victory. You know he wants to stick it to Green Bay one last time.
CURRENT ODDS: PACKERS -3
Raiders (5-4) @ Steelers (6-3), 1:00PM ET
Boy this game looks a heck of a lot more interesting now than it did three weeks ago, huh? The Raiders are now tied for first in the AFC West, while the Steelers were just embarrassed at home by the Patriots last Sunday night. Oakland went into Pittsburgh last year and beat the Steelers on their home turf, so clearly the Raiders aren’t going to be intimidated on Sunday. That said, they’re also 1-3 on the road this year and have only beaten one team with a winning record (vs. Kansas City two weeks ago). This Sunday would be a great time to check both off the “To Do” list.
