Today, like last week, the NFL's slate of games begins in London, where the "road" Washington Redskins will take on the Cincinnati Bengals at 9:30 a.m. EST. The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Bengals Week 13, and they'll get a second crack at the Redskins Week 14.
We'll have two separate open threads today -- one for the Eagles-Cowboys main event, and one for the rest. (We'll have one for Sleeves on Monday Night Football as well). Here is this week's slate of games.
London game:
Early afternoon games:
Late afternoon games:
Sunday Night Football:
Monday Night Football:
The two obvious games of interest other than the main event are of course Redskins-Bengals for NFC East purposes and Vikings-Bears for first round draft pick purposes. Another game worth keeping an eye on is Cardinals-Panthers, two underachieving teams that played in the NFC Championship Game last year. If the Panthers lose, they'll be 1-6, and all but dead. If the Cardinals lose, they'll be 3-4-1. This game is important from a wildcard perspective.
In case you missed them, here are my Week 8 NFL picks.
For quick reference, the NFC East standings:
| NFC East | W | L | Point differential |
| Cowboys | 5 | 1 | +52 |
| Eagles | 4 | 2 | +68 |
| Redskins | 4 | 3 | -3 |
| Giants | 4 | 3 | -8 |
Feel free to discuss the early action around the rest of the league below.
