Dallas (3-6) at Indianapolis (5-4)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Colts by 7.
Key stat: It's Colts' No. 12 defense vs. Cowboys' No. 28 offense.
Worth watching: Can Colts rookie RB James Mungro repeat his 114-yard performance of last week? Dallas rookie QB Chad Hutchinson has not been intercepted, but only one of his 63 passes has gone for a TD.
Outlook: The Cowboys have scored only 21 points in Hutchinson's two starts. The Colts emerged from a midseason slump to rout the Eagles last week.
New Orleans (7-2) at Atlanta (5-3-1)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Falcons by 3.
Key stat: Saints are 15-6 on the road under Jim Haslett.
Worth watching: Saints QB Aaron Brooks leads NFC with 19 TD passes. Falcons QB Michael Vick has thrown five TD passes and one interception.
Outlook: Two of the NFL's hottest teams meet in a game that will decide whether the NFC South will be a two- or three-team race. The Falcons will join Saints and Bucs in the race if they win for the fifth time in six weeks. The Saints are looking to get even for a frustrating 37-35 loss in first Atlanta game on Oct. 27.
Buffalo (5-4) at Kansas City (4-5)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Chiefs by 3 1/2 .
Key stat: Bills have won three of past four vs. Chiefs.
Worth watching: Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez has 34 catches (12.8 avg.) and six TDs. Bills WR Eric Moulds is third in the NFL with 62 catches (13.8 avg., five TDs).
Outlook: The Chiefs' defense still ranks last in NFL, but it has allowed only 27 points in the past two games. That, combined with the running of RB Priest Holmes and the Arrowhead crowd, should be the difference.
Pittsburgh (5-3-1) at Tennessee (5-4)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
TV: Chs. 13, 9.
Line: Steelers by 3.
Key stat: Titans have won seven of past nine vs. Steelers.
Worth watching: Titans DE Kevin Carter and Steelers LB Joey Porter share the AFC lead with seven sacks.
Outlook: Neither team has lost since Oct. 6 and both appear headed toward the playoffs. The Steelers have possibly the hottest player in the league - QB Tommy Maddox (15 TD passes vs. eight interceptions).
Jacksonville (4-5) at Houston (2-7)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Jaguars by 6.
Key stat: Jaguars are fourth in NFL with turnover differential of plus-7.
Worth watching: Rookie RB Jonathan Wells leads Texans with 352 yards rushing (3.2 avg.). Jaguars RB Fred Taylor has rushed for 772 yards (4.2 avg.).
Outlook: The Jaguars were stung three weeks ago, when they became the first team to lose a home game to the expansion Texans. Jacksonville will take things more seriously this time around.
Arizona (4-5) at Philadelphia (6-3)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Eagles by 11.
Key stat: Eagles have scored only 49 points in past three games.
Worth watching: Cardinals QB Jake Plummer has won six of his nine starts vs. Eagles. Donovan McNabb has won three of past four vs. Cardinals.
Outlook: The Eagles' offensive slump has been more than matched by the collapse of the Cardinals' defense, which has allowed 92 points in three games. The Eagles' offense is bound to get well today.
Cleveland (4-5) at Cincinnati (1-8)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Browns by 3 1/2 .
Key stat: Bengals have scored 89 points in past three games.
Worth watching: Browns DE Courtney Brown has 10 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble and a blocked field goal in the past two games. Bengals RB Corey Dillon has rushed for 100 yards five times vs. Browns.
Outlook: With leading rusher and receiver Jamel White out, first-round pick William Green gets another chance. Bengals have been competitive the past three weeks (1-2).
Green Bay (8-1) at Minnesota (2-7)
Time: 1 p.m. today.
Line: Packers by 6 1/2 .
Key stat: Vikings have won three of past four vs. Packers at Metrodome.
Worth watching: WR Donald Driver leads Packers with 46 catches (15.6 avg., five TDs). WR Randy Moss paces Vikings with 56 catches (11.6 avg., three TDs).
Outlook: Although the Packers have often struggled at Minnesota, this year is different. QB Brett Favre is having an MVP year, the Vikings' Daunte Culpepper is regressing, and Packers have incentive - they can wrap up the NFC Central with a win today and a Lions loss.
San Francisco (7-2) at San Diego (6-3)
Time: 4:05 p.m. today.
Line: 49ers by 2 1/2 .
Key stat: 49ers are third in NFL with turnover differential of plus-9.
Worth watching: 49ers DE Andre Carter is second in NFL with eight sacks. Chargers LB Donnie Edwards is tied for the league lead with four interceptions.
Outlook: The Chargers' offense has fizzled the past few weeks, just as QB Jeff Garcia and the 49ers have hit their stride.
Carolina (3-6) at Tampa Bay (7-2)
Time: 4:05 p.m. today.
Line: Bucs by 9.
Key stat: Bucs are second in NFL with turnover differential of plus-10.
Worth watching: Rodney Peete (seven TDs vs. five interceptions) has returned as Panthers QB since these teams last met, a 12-9 Tampa Bay win. QB Brad Johnson (12 TD passes vs. five interceptions) is having a good year for Bucs.
Outlook: These teams have played only one game since their first meeting, so other than Peete's return to the lineup, not much has changed. The result won't, either.
N.Y. Jets (4-5) at Detroit (3-6)
Time: 4:15 p.m. today.
Line: Jets by 3.
Key stat: Jets are 9-3 on the road under coach Herman Edwards.
Worth watching: Jets QB Chad Pennington has thrown 82 passes without an interception. Lions' rookie QB Joey Harrington has thrown eight TD passes vs. 11 interceptions.
Outlook: The Lions have won all three of Harrington's starts at Ford Field. Detroit RB James Stewart has been picking up 4.7 yards per carry.
Denver (6-3) at Seattle (3-6)
Time: 4:15 p.m. today.
Line: Broncos by 5.
Key stat: Broncos are 6-1 following Monday night games under Mike Shanahan.
Worth watching: WR Bobby Engram has 25 catches for Seahawks, 23 for first downs. Broncos DE Trevor Pryce shares AFC lead with seven sacks.
Outlook: The Broncos need to bounce back from Monday's loss to the Raiders to maintain a share of first place in the AFC West. The Seahawks' soft run defense could mean a big day for Clint Portis (4.8 yards per carry).
New England (5-4) at Oakland (5-4)
Time: 8:30 p.m.
TV: ESPN.
Line: Raiders by 3 1/2 .
Key stat: It's Raiders No. 1 offense vs. Patriots' No. 5 defense.
Worth watching: Patriots' Tom Brady leads NFL with 21 TD passes; Raiders' Rich Gannon is second with 19.
Outlook: When the schedule came out, this figured to be a meeting of two teams with seven or eight wins. Now, the loser may miss the playoffs.
