Games to watch
• Vikings (6-1) at Packers (4-2): Ah, the Favre Fest.
The Vikings have been great closers most of the season, and were in position to beat the Steelers a week ago before two late turnovers for touchdowns. Adrian Peterson leads the NFC in rushing and has scored eight touchdowns. The Vikings lead the league with 24 sacks, and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers is vulnerable, having been taken down 25 times.
Since a 30-23 loss at Minnesota, the Packers have scored 57 points and allowed three. Of course, those were in wins over Detroit and Cleveland.
Maybe all that matters in Titletown this weekend, though, is that Brett's back.
• Giants (5-2) at Eagles (4-2): Seven hours or so before the Yankees take on the Phillies across the street in the World Series, these NFC East rivals go at it for first place in the division.
If running back Brian Westbrook can't go, the Eagles must depend on talented youngsters on offense who have performed well and, at times, spectacularly. New York's suspect secondary must deal with DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy and Brent Celek.
Then again, the secondary won't be tested much if Donovan McNabb doesn't get time to pass, and the Giants' front seven match up well with Philly's blockers.
• Texans (4-3) at Bills (3-4): These are two teams on the upswing, getting some strong defensive play. The big difference has been with the ball, where the Texans are prolific (nearly 24 points a game) and the Bills are impotent (16 a game).
Terrell Owens, who has been invisible in Buffalo -- and nobody can blame the weather yet -- gets a look at two prime receivers who are carrying their offense in Andre Johnson and tight end Owen Daniels.
