Headline: Saints Look For Elusive First Win at Home versus San Diego
Who would have thunk it? Not me! The New Orleans Saints look to snap a miserable four game losing streak when they host a confident Chargers team coming off a win last week in Kansas City. It’s not that the Saints have been a total disaster – it is the defense that has been absolutely dreadful and not giving its offense a chance.
The Ravens (3-1) have won 2 straight and are tied with the Bengals atop the AFC North. Unlike the last few years the Ravens are led by their offense, as their defense has not been the dominant unit we are used to seeing.
The Vikings (3-1) are off to a surprising start and they have won 2 straight and are tied with the Bears atop the NFC North. The Titans (1-3) have really struggled on defense this season, as they only rank 27th in the league both defending the pass and defending the run.
The Bengals (3-1) have won 3 straight after an opening season loss and their offense has been solid in their 3-game winning streak. They face a 1-3 Dolphins’ team, but in their last 2 games they lost both in OT, so the Fish are close to being 3-1.
The Packers (2-2) came up with a much needed win at home in this last game and to keep pace with the Bears (3-1) they need to beat the Colts (1-2).
It is hard to tell whether Philadelphia is lucky or whether things are just evening out this year. This team has three wins by a combined 4 points and an ugly loss to Arizona.
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.
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.
Week 4 of the NFL season has come and gone – the cream is really starting to rise to the top while there is some teams already looking like pretenders in this young season – can you say Cowboys?
The Arizona Cardinals are the biggest surprise in the NFL so far this year. Arizona enters this game at 4-0 after pulling off a big comeback victory over Miami last weekend.
Division foe St. Louis will host them this Thursday night on NFL Network.
Headline: Giants Look to Bounce Back Against Winless Browns
The New York Giants return to the friendly confines of MetLife Stadium on Sunday with a 2-2 record and in t 3-way tie for second in the NFC East. Week 5’s challenge – to get past a 0-4 Cleveland Browns team that has been in every game that they have played so far in this young season.
Headline: Redskins Try to Knock Falcons from Unbeaten Ranks in Week 5
In what has potential to be shootout of the weekend, the 4-0 Atlanta Falcons travel to Washington to take on the upstart 2-2 Redskins. The Falcons have ascended to the NFL elite this season with strong offensive play while the Skins have made huge strides toward respectability because of one man – Robert Griffin III.
Headline: Unflattering 2-1 Teams Meet on Monday Night – Bears at Cowboys
Two teams that had lofty expectations heading into the 2012 NFL season meet on Monday Night Football with their eyes on a 3-1 record and top spot in their division.
Headline: NFC East Battle Highlights Week 4 Schedule
The New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles will renew hostilities on Sunday night with top spot in the NFC East on the line. The Giants have looked terrific since their Week 1 loss while the Eagles, despite winning their first two games have looked less than spectacular so far.
