NFL Week 4 Matchups
(Sunday’s Games)
Detroit @ Chicago
The Bear’s running back Matt Forte (150 yards rushing in 2009) has a chance at a big game Sunday facing a defense that is allowing 4.5 yards per carry.
Cincinnati @ Cleveland
The Bengal’s quarterback Carson Palmer has yet to have a big game, but on Sunday he’ll face the leagues 16th ranked pass defense that allows over 60 percent passes completed and has yet to record an interception.
Oakland @ Houston
Last year when these two teams hooked up the Raiders secondary was able to keep the Texans passing game in check and limit receiver Andre Johnson to just two catches for 19 yards; something to watch Sunday.
Seattle @ Indianapolis
The Colt’s quarterback Peyton Manning has been on a tear tossing six touchdowns and passing for nearly 700 yards in his last two starts. He’ll face a Seahawk defense that can bring some pressure, but the savvy veteran has seen it all and should have little trouble doing what he does.
Tennessee @ Jacksonville
The Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew finally broke out for a big game in week 3 with three rushing touchdowns. On Sunday he’ll face a stiff test facing the leagues second ranked run defense.
NY Giants @ Kansas City
The Giants will roll into Kansas City with the league’s number eight rushing offense to face a Chiefs run defense that has already surrendered five rushing touchdowns.
Baltimore @ New England
The Ravens travel to Foxboro to take on a Brady-led Patriot offense and will have their hands full with the leagues leading receiver Randy Moss (26 receptions this season).
Tampa Bay @ Washington
The Buccaneers will have the services of Carnell Williams (5.2 yards per carry this season) on Sunday against the Redskins 22nd ranked run defense.
Buffalo @ Miami
The Dolphins 26th ranked pass defense will have their hands full with Bills wide receivers Lee Evans and Terrell Owens.
NY Jets @ New Orleans
In his only appearance at home this season Saints quarterback Drew Brees tossed six touchdowns an on Sunday he faces a banged up 5th ranked Jets pass defense who will be without one of their starting corners (Lito Sheppard).
Dallas @ Denver
The Bronco’s number one ranked defense has been suffocating this season limiting opposing offenses to just 215 yards per game, but Sunday they will face Dallas, the league’s number one rushing offense (194 yards per game).
St. Louis @ San Francisco
The Niner’s quarterback Shaun Hill will bring his 89.9 passer into Sunday’s matchup with the Rams and their 25th ranked pass defense that is allowing 255 yards passing per game.
