NFL Week 4 Spotlight Games
This is the first week that teams have byes so there are 3 less games this week. It makes things a little less interesting, especially if your team has a bye.
For the 1 o’clock games, the game I’m spotlighting is a big surprise to me. If I looked over the schedule before the season, this game would have had little interest. It’s the 2-1 Falcons at the 2-1 Panthers. Matt Ryan is having a pretty good rookie season so far. Jake Delhomme is also having a good year. It could be a good quarterback match up in an NFC game.
The best of the 4 o’clock games should be the Redskins at the Cowboys. It’s always a good match up when these 2 teams meet. It’s an NFC East showdown. The Dallas offense is outstanding so far this season and I don’t see any reason why that can’t continue tomorrow.
The Sunday night game features the Eagles and the Bears. The Bears are a little disappointing so far. The Eagle offense looks strong. Hester is still questionable for the Bears and it really hurts them when he doesn’t play.
The Monday night game is the only AFC game spotlighted this week. The 2-0 Ravens visit the 2-1 Steelers. The Steelers are a little banged up and have some injury questions. The Ravens defense should really be able to punish them, and that’s the last thing the Steelers need.
Enjoy the games tomorrow. It’s actually the first Sunday of the season where I’m not working my real job and it’s supposed to rain here so I should log some good hours in front of the television tomorrow.
