The Green Bay Packers have a tough game in Carolina this weekend, which will hopefully end the way most of CHTV thinks it will. Assuming it all goes to plan, you might keep watching some football, so I’ve got three other games you might want to keep an eye on.

Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts.

Normally the storyline for this game devolves into ‘Peyton returns!’ and ‘Andrew Luck is the new Peyton!’ but not this year. This year it’s about Andrew Luck and his complete regression to levels of play he hasn’t executed since Pop Warner. Luck and the Colts might normally give the Broncos a run for their money – even better really because they came out on top quite often.

This year though, aside from Luck, the Colts are going to have to deal with the best defense in the NFL featuring the best secondary in the NFL. It’s hard to imagine Luck overcoming this defense at his best, and he’s not at it.

However, and this is a big however, the Broncos seem to struggle in Indianapolis and while the offense looked great against Green Bay last week, it hasn’t the rest of the season.

The Broncos are not unbeatable. Can the Colts get their act together and overcome one of the last undefeated teams?

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys

If you can swallow your bile and actually watch this game post Greg Hardy Friday, you’ll have a chance to watch a fairly interesting game. The Cowboys have Dez Bryant back and while he’s not 100 percent, he’s getting there and isn’t far off. Darren McFadden is playing well behind this offensive line and if Matt Cassel isn’t all that good, he has been able to move the ball. With Dez getting back to normal, he should be more effective.

Against this is set an Eagles team which hasn’t been able to get its act together on the offensive side of the ball, but features a solid unit on the defensive end. Chip Kelly’s team has all the pieces it needs save, it seems, one—the quarterback.

Sam Bradford has taken steps forward, but plenty of others backwards as well. The Dallas defense—especially the secondary—isn’t special and is one he should be able to take a piece out of.

There’s still plenty of time for both teams to turn things around and make a run for the division or maybe even a Wild Card berth.

It has to start Sunday though.

St. Louis Rams at Minnesota Vikings

Let’s say that the Packers open up not just a can of whup-ass on the Panthers, but a veritable brewery of it on them and you find yourself nodding off from too much of it by the second half. What to do?

Turn the channel and check out this game. Not only is it an intriguing matchup between an up and coming team in the Vikings and a great defense plus Todd Gurley with the Rams, but it is a game which you should be concerned with as both of these teams are very solid possibilities for Wild Card hopefuls.

In fact, as the Pack plays the Vikings twice over the final nine games of the season, it’s worth checking in on what you’re in for.

Aside from anything else though, you want to watch Gurley if you haven’t spent much time doing so already. If you think Adrian Peterson has been a pain in the butt of the NFC North for a long time, Gurley is looking like a guy who could match that.

The Packers destroyed the Rams when they met in Week 5, but Gurley dropped 159 yards on the Packers defense. And if you watched all of that, you only got the smallest taste of what he can do. He’s gotten better since then.

God help us all, he’s gotten better.

It’s going to be a great Sunday of NFL action—enjoy it.
