Indianapolis Colts (9-0) at Baltimore Ravens (5-4)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:36:17 +0000

If the Indianapolis Colts don’t lose Sunday in Baltimore, they may get through the regular season unscathed after all. Indy probably should have one loss but for Bill Belichick’s controversial decision last Sunday in the game the Pats seemed to have won. But credit to Peyton Manning and Co. ... read more

New Orleans Saints (9-0) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-8)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:34:30 +0000

This should be a total mismatch right? The Saints are NFL’s highest-scoring team (36.8 points per game), while the Bucs are next-to-last in scoring defense (28.4). But Tampa Bay has won three of last four meetings between these NFC South rivals.

New Orleans has been pushed to the limit ... read more

Atlanta Falcons (5-4) at New York Giants (5-4)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:32:36 +0000

This is another one of those NFC matchups that could prove vital as a wild-card tiebreaker down the road, and the Falcons are going to be severely shorthanded in New York.

Star RB Michael Turner is listed as doubtful for Week 11 after missing his third straight practice Friday. Coach Mike Smi... read more

Buffalo Bills (3-6) at Jacksonville Jaguars (5-4)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:30:48 +0000

It’s the first game of the post-Dick Jauron era for the Bills, and interim Buffalo coach Perry Fewell wasted no time in making a key decision: No. 2 QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is back as the starter and Trent Edwards is back on the bench.

Fitzpatrick is 1-1 in two starts and also rallied the B... read more

Seattle Seahawks (3-6) at Minnesota Vikings (8-1)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:28:55 +0000

Have the Seattle Seahawks found a new star in Justin Forsett? Obviously one game doesn’t forecast the future, but Forsett was terrific in place of an injured Julius Jones last week, and Jones won’t play this week at Minnesota, so Forsett gets the full workload.

Until last Sunday’s loss ... read more

Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (2-7)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:26:40 +0000

In the span of a few weeks, the Kansas City Chiefs have lost their leading rusher and receiver this season. The rusher was Larry Johnson, who the Chiefs got rid of themselves after he stuck his foot in his mouth a few too many times.

They didn’t miss Johnson last week when they beat the Rai... read more

San Francisco 49ers (4-5) at Green Bay Packers (5-4)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:24:51 +0000

Two teams hoping to grab one of the NFC’s two wild-card spots face off Sunday in Green Bay, with the winner holding a potentially key head-to-head tiebreaker advantage.

The 49ers ended four-game slide with home win over Chicago last Thursday and Packers halted two-game slide with home w... read more

Cleveland Browns (1-8) at Detroit Lions (1-8)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:22:27 +0000

How bad was Monday night’s 16-0 loss for Cleveland? Their one good offensive player, WR/KR Josh Cribbs, was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field after the last play of the Browns’ loss to Baltimore. He was briefly hospitalized with a possible neck injury and concussion after ... read more

Washington Redskins (3-6) at Dallas Cowboys (6-3)

becker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:20:31 +0000

The Dallas Cowboys can set themselves up nicely for the stretch run of the season by beating their archrival Redskins and then coming back on a short week Thanksgiving Day and taking care of business, as they should, against the lousy Oakland Raiders.

The Cowboys will have two first-time star... read more

Thursday NFL: Dolphins (4-5) at Panthers (4-5)

becker — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:21:00 +0000

Tonight’s game in Carolina is more about who won’t be there as to who will be on the field. For sure out is Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown, who was put on IR Wednesday with a foot injury and is done for the year. Brown has eight rushing TDs in 2009 — tied with Chris Johnson and... read more
