Some interesting things going on this week. There are some divisional games which are always exciting. But the games to watch:
First of all, the Steelers and Vikings are in London. Yes, that London. The NFL does one game every year across the pond. Both teams are 0-3. As it is, Europeans don't really care about American football, and sending two losing teams to play there, not so smart in my opinion. Matt Cassel will take over for an injured Christian Ponder at QB, but the only notable player on the team Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 88 yards last week against the Browns. But Mike Tomlin is pissed at the performance of his Steelers over the past 3 weeks. If the Big Ben and his team doesn't pull off a win this week, there may be a lot of changes going on in Pittsburgh.
Another 0-3 team to watch this week, the New York Giants. Poor Eli already has it tough this season with his big brother putting up record numbers. But the Giants just can't seem to get it together. They play in Kansas City against former Division rival head coach Andy Reid, and the Chiefs are 3-0. They've already beat Cowboys and the Eagles, so why add one more win over an NFC East team? Coughlin and the Giants need a miracle, and some TD's, to get their first win.
Speaking of the Eagles, Philly travels to high altitude this week to play the winning Manning brother and the Broncos. Not much to say here. Peyton is on fire. And the Eagles only have a handful of wins left in them. The Eagles will put up a good fight, but with travel, altitude sickness, and the question of how much longer Vick will stay healthy, the Broncos will put up a lot of numbers, perhaps another record?, and win at home at Mile High.
Let's look at the AFC South divisional game: Colts v. Jaguars. First of all, the spread on this game is between 8-10 points, with Indianapolis as the favorite. Andrew Luck has lead the Colts to a 2-1 record so far this season, with 658 yards and 3 TD's. Though Luck's top RB, Ahmad Bradshaw is out with a neck injury this week, the 2012 number one draft pick already has 100 rushing yards and 2 TD's. The Colts may be on the road, but they will take home a win.
Don't forget to post your comments and picks for today's games! And check back tomorrow as I break down the Saints v. Dolphins game in New Orleans for Monday Night football. Happy Sunday :)
