New England Patriots @ New York Giants 4:25 p.m. E.T on CBS
New York head coach Tom Coughlin and New England QB Tom Brady have met quite a few times in their careers. In two Super Bowl's and several season match-ups these color coordinate rivals seem to bash each other on the field when scheduled for a meeting. Giants QB Eli Manning has thrown 19 TD's this season and has a QB rating of 96.9. Quietly, the Giants rank 5th in the league in points per game and teams have a tough time slowing their dynamic passing game down. If there though is a team that can outscore them it's the New England Patriots. The 8-0 Patriots come in averaging 34.5 points per game and have intent on marching all over a Giants defense that allowed the New Orleans Saints 52 points in Week 8. When the Giants did defeat the Patriots, they did it with defense and a powerful running game. Considering that both of those things aren't apart of the Giants strengths I'll have to go with the Patriots in this one 31-17. Tune in to see how things play out.

Minnesota Vikings @ Oakland Raiders 4:05 p.m. E.T on FOX
This week's sleeper has to be this Minnesota Vikings and Oakland Raiders game. Both teams played physical match-ups against conference teams in Week 9. The Vikings escaped the Rams and the Raiders lost against the Steelers in a Heinz Field shootout. Considering that Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater might not play today, this may give the Raiders offense an opportunity to take control of the time of possession statistic. I believe that the Minnesota Vikings are the best team in the NFC. They don't present any weakness. Their special teams is solid, as is their rushing attack, emergence of Stefan Figgs at WR is crucial and their defense is easily ranked top 5 in points allowed this season. The Raiders do alike with the Vikings have a very promising future with rookie WR Amari Cooper and QB Derek Carr. Oakland will be looking to advance to 6-4 and keep steady their race to get a Wild Card spot in the AFC. They'll have to deal with a fast hard-hitting Vikings defense today and if Minnesota has Teddy in the Lineup I don't see them coming out on top.Vikings 26 - Raiders 21.

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks 8:30 p.m. E.T on NBC
The (4-4) Seattle Seahawks and (6-2) Arizona Cardinals enjoyed sitting at home on their "bye" in Week 9. They'll match-up in a center stage Sunday Night Football showdown to see who has the mojo in the NFC West. The question is will Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch ever get back to being in "Beast Mode." The Seahawks haven't been really convincing this year and maybe the Cardinals will ice them at home tonight. Key word "maybe" that maybe will be predicated on QB Carson Palmer's performance against the legion of boom because HB Chris Johnson is likely to get roughed up tonight at Century Link Field. Even if a victory is manifested for the Seahawks tonight, they'll still trail the Cardinals by a whole game. Keep your eyes on the Cardinals who still have to visit St. Louis and play the Cincinnati Bengals later in the season. I like Seattle tonight, 20-17.
