NFL WEEK 12 – PACKERS vs. LIONS
A few months from now they will assemble in bars near Lambeau Field, look out at a few feet of snow and talk about how their team was so close to a playoff spot entering the final several weeks of the season.

NFL WEEK 11 – FALCONS vs. GIANTS
Be honest. You didn’t see this coming, did you? Nobody figured the Giants to slide into the tank like this – four straight losses, after five straight wins to open the season, slip sliding to the point where today the East Rutherfords are just another team that will have to find a way to win some late-season games to remain relevant in the playoff picture.

NFL WEEK 11 – COLTS vs. RAVENS
“If you spend your life walking along the edge of a cliff,” said the teacher to the student, “one day you will surely fall over.”
So you have to wonder a bit about the Colts, who have pretty much locked up the AFC South but danced away from defeat for three straight weeks and now find themselves undefeated (9-0) heading into late November.

NFL WEEK 10 – BENGALS vs. STEELERS
If you can’t run with the big dogs, the expression goes, then stay on the porch.
In Cincinnati, the Bengals have shown through the first half of the NFL season that they are capable of keeping up with the big guns of the NFL. They stand at 6-2 and share the AFC North lead with the Steelers. Every one of their opponents this season, with the exception of the Browns, is now at .500 or better.

NFL WEEK 9 – RAVENS vs. BENGALS
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.

NFL WEEK 9 – San Diego Chargers vs. N.Y. Giants
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.

NFL WEEK 8 – N.Y. Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles
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 –

NFL WEEK 8 – Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers
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.

NFL WEEK 7 – Minnesota Vikings vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
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.

NFL Week 7 – N.Y. JETS vs. OAKLAND RAIDERS
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.

NFL Week 6 – N.Y. Giants vs. New Orleans Saints
You might think that the Saints would have a huge advantage over the Giants this Sunday. New Orleans is coming off its bye week and has had 14 days to get ready. But the Giants last Sunday had the closest thing to a bye week –– a home game against Oakland –– and should be well-rested when the two unbeatens meet in New Orleans in the biggest game of the NFL season to date.

NFL Week 6 – Arizona Cardinals vs. Seattle Seahawks
Seneca Wallace is a nice backup quarterback, but everyone who has even a passing interest in the NFC West knows that the fewer snaps he takes this season, the greater the chance of the Seahawks restoring themselves as the top team in the division.

The AFC West was figured out way before the start of the season. This time San Diego wouldn’t get off to a slow start, and the Chargers’ talent would dominate a division in which their three opponents were all rebuilding.
