This is an important matchup for both the Houston Texans and the Chicago Bears. While both teams sit at 7-1, both teams face significant competition nipping at their heels.
Both the Indianapolis Colts and the Green Bay Packers sit at 6-3, ready to challenge these teams for the division. It will be a big test for the Bears and their mouthy, obese
fans as outside of the beating the Packers laid on both of them, they haven't had much competition. Both teams defenses are stout and they both have good running games.
It will be a very interesting Week 10 matchup at Soldier Field on Sunday, one that has divisional implications for the not-so-far-away playoff race.
The Minnesota Vikings started the season fast but have struggled in recent weeks whereas the Detroit Lions started slow only to get things a bit on track. The Vikings have
lost 2 straight whereas the Lions have won 2 straight. At this point, the two teams are like two ships passing in the night. If the Vikings want to win they'll need much better
quarterback play from Christian Ponder while the Lions will have to figure out how to get the ball downfield when Calvin Johnson isn't available.
Will the slump and steak continue? You'll have to handcuff yourself to a chair to find out when the two teams face off in Ford Field on Sunday afternoon.
The New York Giants have a comfortable lead in the NFC East but with quarterback Eli Manning seemingly regressing and opposing defenses figuring the Giants out, now is
the time for either the Dallas Cowboys or the Philadelphia Eagles to turn things around and challenge Tom Coughlin's team for the division. The Cowboys are a talented
team but can't seem to put it together under the ineffectual leadership of Tony Romo, Jason Garrett, and Jerry Jones. Eagles coach Andy Reid is very much coaching for his job
this season so expect him to bring his A-game when he's backed into a corner on Sunday.
The advantage goes to the Cowboys for their more competent offensive attack. Michael Vick simply can't be relied upon when the pressure is on, not to mention stay healthy.
The Eagles' defense has struggled this season, so look for Romo to feast and Reid to drown his sorrows into a bottle of turkey gravy.
