NFC #LETME Week 3

Least Exciting To Most Exciting.

9. Dallas Cowboys at St. Louis Rams (noon CT, 1 ET, Fox: Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, and Tony Siragusa)
Maybe the Rams' third-string quarterback will be able to bring home another victory. Cowboys 25, Rams 18

8. Houston Texans at New York Giants (1 ET, CBS: Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts, and Jenny Dell)
The Texans have had two surprisingly large victories while the Giants have suffered two not-so-surprising losses, Eli Manning still hasn't learned Ben McAdoo's offense, and Eli is nowhere near 75% comp pct. Texans 38, Giants 13

7. Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints (noon CT, 1 ET, Fox: Chris Myers, Ronde Barber, and Jennifer Hale)
The Vikings only beat a team with a backup quarterback in Week 1, and looked horrible against the Patriots last week at TCF Bank Stadium. The Saints may be 0-2 but have only played on the road. Saints 28, Vikings 14

6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons (8:25 ET Thursday, CBS, NFL Network: Jim Nantz, Phil Simms, and Tracy Wolfson) Sunset at 7:40.
Last week, the Bucs lost to a team starting their third-string quarterback, who the previous week had been beaten by a weak team who later got blown out by the Pats. Falcons 41, Buccaneers 20

5. Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles (1 ET, Fox: Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, and Erin Andrews)
Fox continues to use Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on NFC East games, even when they're not commentating a Cowboys game. I believe there are two more exciting matchups on Fox's schedule Sunday, and they are not putting this commentary team on those games. Eagles 33, Redskins 30

4. Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (1 ET, Fox: Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch, and Pam Oliver)
Perhaps Fox gave the more exciting game to the #2 commentary team since it includes Pam Oliver, the #1 sideline reporter. Lions 27, Packers 24 (OT)

3. Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers (8:30 ET, NBC: Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth, and Michele Tafoya) Sunset at 7:22.
Cam Newton looks back up to speed after last week's performance! Panthers 20, Steelers 17

2. San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals (1:05 MST, 4:05 EDT, Fox: Thom Brennaman, David Diehl, and Laura Okmin)
The Cardinals (along with the Texans, Bills, Broncos, Bengals, Eagles, and Panthers!) are on top the division by themselves. Cardinals 12, 49ers 7

1. Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks (1:25 PT, 4:25 ET, CBS: Jim Nantz, Phil Simms, and Tracy Wolfson) Broncos 14, Seahawks 13
