This week’s bye teams: Dallas, Miami, Oakland, San
Francisco, SeattleMatchups to exploit
Packers RB Ahman Green could snap out of his yardage slump against the Vikings,
who have surrendered more than 100 yards to each of their last three opponents.
Giants WR Amani Toomer has two touchdowns and two 100-yard games in his last
four meetings with the Eagles.
Chiefs QB Trent Green might find the endzone against a Cardinals defense that
has surrendered eight TD passes in four games.
Considering Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns
last week against the Lions, perhaps Titans QB Steve McNair will have similar
success against Detroit.
Matchups to avoid
Bengals RB Corey Dillon might find little room to run against the Bears, who
have allowed 87.0 yards rushing per game this season and just one rushing touchdown.
Last season the Falcons were held below 100 yards rushing in two meetings with the
Saints, and this season New Orleans has allowed only 86.5 yards rushing per game. That
doesn’t bode well for RB Maurice Smith.
Browns RB James Jackson doesn’t have a good matchup against the Ravens, who
boast the league’s No. 1 rushing defense (58.2 yards per game).
Buccaneers QB Brad Johnson could have a hard time against a Steelers defense
that ranks first in the league in pass defense and third overall in average gain per pass
play. |
