Week Seven NFL News

Sunday afternoon in "Big D", the Cowboys play host to Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons as Dallas looks to come out of their bye with a win against a key NFC opponent.

The 4-1 Falcons will be looking to do the same and try to keep the pressure on the undefeated New Orleans Saints in the NFC South. During their bye week, the Cowboys watched the other teams in the NFC East all lose. That put the Cowboys into a second-place tie with Philadelphia, 1 1/2 games behind the Giants.

Pittsburgh is usually known for it's defense, but Sunday the Vikings might be worried more about Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers offense.

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill allowing the construction of a 75,000-seat stadium that developers hope will lure an NFL franchise back to Los Angeles.

Schwarzenegger said he signed the environmental exemption bill last week but saved the announcement for a press conference in Industry, CA, where the stadium would be built about 15 miles east of Los Angeles.

After helping develop the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles...

On Monday Night Football, the Denver Broncos head to New England to do battle with the Patriots. Odds makers are calling the Patriots a 3 point favorite with the total sitting at 48.

Since losing NFL MVP Tom Brady to a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter of their opener, the 3-2 Patriots have not looked anything like the team that posted the first 16-0 regular season in NFL history in 2007. Led by career backup Matt Cassel, the offense has struggled...

A week ago, the Cleveland Browns appeared to break out of their shell and show the league a glimpse of the team that was 10-6 last season when they upset the defending Champion Giants 35-14. This week the 2-3 Browns head to Washington to take on the 4-2 Redskins. Odds makers are calling Washington a 7 1/2 point favorite at home against the surging Browns.

The Browns were led by quarterback Derick Anderson and wide-out Braylon Edwards in the victory against New York. Anderson was 18-of-29 for 310 yards and two touchdowns...

The New York Jets head out the west coast to take on the Oakland Raiders at McAfee Coliseum. Odds makers say the Jets are 3 point favorites on the road with the total sitting at 41.

Jets quarterback Brett Favre has bittersweet memories from the last time he played in Oakland. As a member of the Packers, Favre was 22-of-30 for 399 yards with four touchdowns on a night he was grieving the death of his father.

"It was obviously a tough time," Favre recalled, "but it was one of those games that everything I seemed to do was right."

Sunday afternoon the Indianapolis Colts head to Lambeau Field in Green Bay to take on the Packers. Odds makers call the Colts a 1 point favorite with the total set at 47.

After starting off 1-2, the Colts have won two in a row coming off their bye in week four. Against both the Texan and the Ravens, Indianapolis has put up 31 points and with what appears to be a fully recovered Peyton Manning; they are running on all cylinders on offense.

Manning was 19-of-28 for 271 yards and three touchdowns and more importantly, no interceptions against the league's top-rated defense...

Sunday the 3-3 New Orleans Saints head to Charlotte, North Carolina to take on the 4-2 Panthers. Odds makers are calling the Panthers a 3 point favorite at home with the total sitting at 45.

Inconsistency has plagued the Saints through the season's first six games. With an average of 412.2 yards per game, New Orleans has one the leagues most prolific offenses, but penalties and turnovers have been their downfall.

Quarterback Drew Brees took it upon himself to help New Orleans try to overcome the mistakes last Sunday, even reminding his team in the huddle to stay disciplined.
