Washington Redskins (2-4) at Denver Broncos (6-1) (Sunday 3:25 PM)

If it comes down to a tie, the Redskins would hold the tiebreaker over the Bears on the merits of last Sunday’s shootout win.  Just in case they want to go on another late-season tear, let’s hope the Broncos right the ship against them.

Green Bay Packers (4-2) at Minnesota Vikings (1-5) (Sunday Night Football)

Don’t look now, but the Packers are suddenly back atop the NFC North while the Vikings are a train wreck.  Their quarterback situation reminds me of the mid-90’s Bears.  Let’s hope the Vikes can get Adrian Peterson going and shock the Packers in prime time.

Seattle Seahawks (6-1) at St Louis (3-4) (Monday Night Football)

With Sam Bradford out for the season and Kellen Clemens at the controls, the 3-4 Rams are in trouble.  I’m going to root for the Seahawks to run away with the NFC West and knock the Rams out of the playoff picture.
