TV schedule
Bears (5-4) at Packers (4-5)
FOX, 11 a.m.
Never fear, Green Bay fans. Two-game losing streaks, such as the one the Packers are riding, don't mean a lot in the NFC North. Now, losing five of the past six to the Bears, that could mean something.
Prediction: Packers, 24-19.
Broncos (5-4) at Falcons (6-3)
CBS, 11 a.m.
Too bad Disney already has the rights to the movie title "Invincible." That's what the Falcons and QB Matt Ryan are when they play in the Georgia Dome (4-0).
Prediction: Falcons, 34-24
Chargers (4-5) at Steelers (6-4)
CBS, 2:15 p.m.
The Chargers have never won a regular-season game in Pittsburgh (0-12). Then, again, the Colts hadn't won a game in Pittsburgh in 40 years ... until last week. Chargers won't be so lucky.
Prediction: Steelers, 23-20.
Cowboys (5-4) at Redskins (6-3)
NBC, 6:15 p.m.
Tony Romo is scheduled to return for the Cowboys, making it the most anticipated Dallas return since J.R. Ewing came back to Southfork in 1996. Like J.R., the Cowboys are perceived to be dead.
Prediction: Redskins, 28-24
Browns (3-6) at Bills (5-4)
ESPN, Monday, 6:30 p.m.
Was there ever a more pathetic display of Football than the manner in which the Browns blew a 13-point lead against Denver? Unfortunately, it's on national display again. They won't have a lead to blow.
Prediction: Bills, 24-15
