Let’s take a look at some of the matchups coming up this weekend. It will be interesting to see if the Raiders can steal one from the Giants if Eli Manning doesn’t end up playing. Could a David Carr-led Giants team still be good enough to beat Oakland? Pittsburgh will give running back Rashard Mendenhall another go this week, as Willie Parker is battling turf toe. Mendenhall will get a Lions defense that hasn’t been too stout against the run this season. He could win the starting job this week. The Bengals have the chance to prove that they’re for real against the Ravens.
One of the better games on Sunday should be the Niners-Falcons. The Niners finally have Michael Crabtree in house, and while that may not affect this game too much, the team is looking good regardless. The Falcons have not beaten anyone substantial as of yet, so this will be a true test. The Texans and Cards will face off in what should be a real shootout. Both of these teams boast explosive offenses, but their defenses have been suspect this season. The Sunday Night game is Pats-Broncos and should be a good one. Josh McDaniels will face his mentor; we’ve seen how that usually works out.
