Games to watch
• Patriots (4-2) vs. Buccaneers (0-6): Cheerio, mates, welcome to the Wembley mismatch. The Patriots, who almost never take anyone lightly, come off a 59-0 annihilation of another winless team, the Titans. Coach Bill Belichick will likely show more mercy in front of the English crowd in the third straight regular-season contest in London.
• Bears (3-2) at Bengals (4-2): Both teams were exposed last weekend, the Bears at Atlanta and the Bengals at home against Houston. Jay Cutler has made a so-so group of receivers much better, but he's throwing far too many interceptions (seven), and Matt Forte hasn't gotten on track, sinking the running game to 27th overall. The defense isn't fierce enough to bail out the Bears.
Cincinnati's defense has been strong enough to turn games in the Bengals' favor, but the line has been decimated, losing end Antwan Odom, among the league's sacks leaders, to a torn right Achilles' tendon.
• Cardinals (3-2) at Giants (5-1): In their last trip to the Meadowlands, albeit against the Jets, the Cardinals limped away with an injured Anquan Boldin and a 56-35 defeat. They also fell at home to the Giants 37-29 late in 2008, well before the turnaround that catapulted the Cardinals into the Super Bowl.
They can make a statement by winning this one, particularly with the Giants angry about their performance at New Orleans in their only defeat. Plus, New York has questions about its secondary, not a good thing with Larry Fitzgerald coming to town.
But the Giants also should be able to move the ball, particularly on the ground.
