Games to Watch (Predicted winners in Bold)

Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012, 1:00pm – Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns

Always an intense rivalry matchup, the Bengals and Browns have played in some classic Toilet Bowls over the years. The Bengals are a decent team this year and the Browns are searching for their first victory of 2012.

Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012, 1:00pm – Detroit Lions @ Philadelphia Eagles

The Lions have claimed the cellar as their own in the NFC North. The Eagles aren’t in the cellar of the NFC East because the Cowboys and Redskins are fighting too viciously to hold it for themselves. Another potential Toilet Bowl, but it should be a close game.

Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012, 4:25pm – New York Giants @ San Francisco 49ers

In a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship, the Giants and 49ers will meet in San Francisco for the third time in two seasons. The 49ers defended their home field in the regular season but lost to the eventual Super Bowl winners in the NFC Championship game. This was a bit of a rivalry back in the day and it’s good to see that coming back.

Sunday, Oct. 14, 2012, 4:25pm – Minnesota Vikings @ Washington Redskins

It truly is a shame that this game has to be going on at the same time as the 49ers/Giants game. I never want to miss my Redskins, but now I’ll have to miss a potentially even better matchup. The Redskins haven’t won at home in 8 tries and the Vikings are a good enough team to keep that losing streak alive.

Monday, Oct. 15, 2012, 8:30pm – Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers

Denver is coming off a rough loss to New England last week, but there were a lot of positives to take away from it. The Chargers lost to a winless team; a dangerous winless team, but a winless team. San Diego will have some motivation to get back on the winning track, but right now the AFC West goes through San Diego and Denver knows that to win the division they’ll have to win in San Diego.


Stay tuned for recaps of this week’s games. Thanks for reading and enjoy the sixth week of the season!
