There’s only two games this week between teams with winning records, meaning the slate is mostly about saving a struggling or mediocre season with a key win. Many expected top contenders, particularly in the AFC, are teetering around .500 as the season starts down the homestretch.
Of the top games, Dallas testing its status on the road against Pittsburgh seems to be a marquee matchup with a battle of the birds between the Eagles and Falcons also drawing intrigue. All eyes will be on Russell Wilson and Tom Brady on Sunday night in a Super Bowl rematch from two seasons ago.
