Rams at Redskins

I know the NFC East is the best division in football, but FOX is pushing it too far when this game is the 1:00 part of their doubleheader on Sunday when they could have sent a majority of the country to Tampa Bay or Atlanta for games that won't be over before halftime. But you never know: Jim Haslett might have a positive effect on the Rams' play. Then again, look at the promoted defensive coordinator's defense this season.

 

Eagles at 49ers

Saddle up, because this contest will feature Mike Martz's offense against Jim Johnson's aggressive defense. J.T. O'Sullivan has proven to be easy to sack thus far, so look for the Eagles to attack early and often. Coming off a deflating loss to the Redskins and facing another Brian Westbrook injury, they really need to win this game to get back to .500. But cross-country trips are never easy for the road team.

 

Packers at Seahawks

Considering the fact that these two 2008 Divisional Playoff opponents are a combined 3-6, this may not be Sunday's best game, but it is definitely a must-win. Green Bay was off to a strong start, but injuries to Aaron Rodgers have really hampered their progress.

And Seattle has injury concerns as well, including Matt Hasselbeck. If either of these teams wants to take their very winnable divisions, they need to start getting back on track in this game. 

 

Giants at Browns (Monday night)

Luckily, there will be playoff baseball on Monday because MNF is not shaping up to be that interesting this week, aside from chants of "We want Brady" from the Dawg Pound. Cleveland is 1-3 and coming off the bye hasn't done anything to impress yet, as Derek Anderson has struggled.

Turning your season around on a game against the Giants' defense is never a good idea.
