Headliners: NFL Week 8 Preview
AD runs wild, Broncos beat Baltimore in Week 8
Bronco D holds off Flacco, Ravens
Denver at Baltimore (1 p.m. EST - Sunday - CBS)
Commentators: Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf
It's tough to argue against what has been a dominant Denver defense. Commentators will showcase that defense and how they're getting the Rodney "Can't get no respect" Dangerfield treatment. The Ravens offense has been great in the final quarter, where the Broncos defense has also been strong. And that's what'll come down to - Denver forces a late turnover to seal a victory. I guess you can consider me on the bandwagon, which probably means they'll lose.
Beater of the Pack: Peterson dominates Favre's Lambeau return
Minnesota at Green Bay (3:15 p.m. EST - Sunday - FOX)
Commentators: Thom Brennaman, Troy Aikman
Favre returns to Lambeau field. And exhale. Aside from that, this is a very important division game that will come down to two things - Brad Childress' play-calling and the Packers protection of Aaron Rodgers.
Childress should run Peterson early and often in an attempt to slow the game down and curb the emotions of both the Lambeau crowd and Favre. If Childress decides to air it out, Minnesota could be in trouble. Green Bay hasn't done much to sure up an offensive line that gave up eight sacks three weeks ago to this same defense. I think Adrian has his first "statement" game of the year - and Favre will happily hand it to him.
All Saints Day; New Orleans moves to 7-0
Atlanta at New Orleans (7:30 p.m. EST - Monday - ESPN)
Commentators: Mike Tirico, Ron Jaworski, Jon Gruden
The Drew Brees love affair continues. The Saints see an opportunity to step on the throats of a division opponent on a national stage. It looks like a good game on paper, but at home, New Orleans will blow out Atlanta and the fourth quarter will be spent listening to Brees' MVP status, the historic pace the offense is on and the premature discussion of possibilities of an undefeated season.
