Matchups to exploit
Falcons WR Terance Mathis has caught five TD passes in his last five games vs.
the 49ers.
Jaguars WR Keenan McCardell has two TD catches and two 100-yard performances in
his last three meetings with the Steelers.
Giants RBs Ron Dayne and Tiki Barber will face a Lions defense that has
allowed a 100-yard rusher in each of its last three games.
Jets WR Wayne Chrebet has caught a TD pass in each of his last two meetings with
the Dolphins.
Matchups to avoid
The Bears haven’t scored a touchdown vs. the Buccaneers in three straight games,
coming up with only three field goals.
Cowboys RB Emmitt Smith may find little room to run vs. a Ravens defense that
has gone an NFL-best 28 games without allowing a 100-yard rusher.
Avoid Chiefs running backs, not just because they’ve done little this season, but
because they’re facing a Bills defense that’s held its last five opponents to
fewer than 100 yards rushing. It’s also surrendered only four rushing touchdowns all
season.
This week vs. Tennessee, the Browns should look more like the team that failed to score
more than three points from Week Eight through Week 10. That means the likes of RB Travis
Prentice and WR Kevin Johnson could struggle. |
