Top Games to Watch

Cincinnati Bengals at Indianapolis Colts

If you love offense, this is the game for you, as both the Bengals and Colts are no strangers to putting up 30-plus points in any given week.

The Bengals are coming off a rare tie with the Carolina Panthers after a short missed field goal as time expired left the game even at 37 points each. Cincinnati has a high-octane offense ranked fifth in the league in yards per game and ninth in points scored.

The Colts are also coming off a big performance, racking up 33 points in a Thursday Night Football win over the Houston Texans. Andrew Luck has led this offense to rank first in the league in both yards per game and points scored.

ESPN Stats & Info tweeted Luck's incredible pace this season: 

Now, here's where it gets interesting. While the Bengals defense is ranked 28th in the league in yards allowed per game, and the Colts are ranked 13th in that same category, they are almost dead even in points allowed—Cincinnati is giving up 22.6 points per game, while Indianapolis is giving up 22.7.

With two offensive juggernauts facing off against their average defenses, we should expect to see some big numbers on the scoreboard in this contest's aftermath.

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys are the hottest team in the NFL right now. Ironically, that's exactly what we were saying about the Giants before they laid an egg against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6.

Dallas is coming off a very impressive road win against the Seattle Seahawks. The Cowboys offense is firing on all cylinders, as DeMarco Murray continues to run rampant against all opposition, and Tony Romo has been surprisingly efficient under center. Here's a very telling graphic of just how good Murray has been this season, via NFL on ESPN:

Even the team's no-name defense is playing well, holding Russell Wilson and Co. to just 206 yards, nine first downs and one offensive touchdown.

New York was looking great for three weeks, as Eli Manning was rolling along in the team's new offensive scheme. Unfortunately, due to a collapsing offensive line, the team's offense stalled against Philadelphia. Still, this is a well-rounded team, and we could expect it to rebound after one terrible showing.

This contest is pivotal for the pecking order of the NFC East. The Cowboys and Eagles are tied at the top with 5-1 records, and the Giants are two back at 3-3. A Dallas win almost makes this a two-horse race from here on out, while a New York victory narrows the gap significantly.

San Francisco 49ers at Denver Broncos

This contest pits one of the AFC's best against one of the NFC's best, as Colin Kaepernick and Peyton Manning prepare to go head-to-head.

As always, the strongest point of this 49ers team is its defense. Ranked second against the pass and fifth against the run, this squad is dominant once again this season. San Francisco is still a good running team with veteran Frank Gore in the backfield, and Kaepernick's 343-yard, three-touchdown performance on Monday Night Football against the St. Louis Rams is a good sign going forward.

What more can really be said about the Broncos offense? Manning has been prolific once again this season, and he has no shortage of weapons with Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Julius Thomas and Wes Welker in the fold. Around the NFL tweeted how close Manning is to breaking Brett Favre's all-time passing touchdowns record:

Defensively, this team has been far better in 2014, ranking fourth against the run and 16th against the pass. All of a sudden, this is a very well-rounded team.

This contest pits strength against strength on both sides of the coin. The 49ers will try to establish the run against a stout Broncos rush defense, and the Broncos will try to move the ball through the air against a very solid pass defense.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? We're going to find out on Sunday night.
