COLD AS ICE:VIKINGS VS BEARS

Railing from 2 consecutive losses, Brett Favre and his legion of purple and gold warriors are beginning to feel the cold. While they rest comfortably at 11-3, their foothold on a no. 2 seed in the NFC is slipping away. Not that Favre's fondness for throwing interceptions is the sole factor in this dip to mediocrity, other Vikings have had a hand in the teams recent demise. Yet, history speaks for itself and since 2005, Favre has notably dipped in accuracy and performance when the temperature drops and as the season neared the playoffs. Although struggling with Jay Cutler at the helm, the Chicago Bears have one chance to oust their NFC North rival and that is to pressure an already shaky 'Old Armslinger' into pass happy inferiority. Will the Bears manage to put the Vikings on ice or will the Vikings thaw out from a chilling losing streak?

LEGENDARY-PATRIOTS VS SAINTS

It is arguably the "Game of the Year" and tonight its going down in the "Big Easy" as the former Superbowl Champion New England Patriots storm into New Orleans to take on the undefeated New Orleans Saints. The air is electric with anticipation of the Saints continuing their 10 win streak while the Patriots hope to seal their first road win of the season. Both teams are led by two of the most elite quarterbacks in the league and both lack on the run. With squads so evenly matched, the slight edge will go to the red zone offense that can not only push the ball down field but the red zone defense strong enough to enforce it.

REVENGE OF THE FALLEN: RAVENS VS BROWNS

Going from a dominant defense to a defense that has given up a whopping total of 400 yards over 3 consecutive games has been a big blow to the Baltimore Ravens pysche. Last in total defense at 409.1 yards per contest in addition to the loss of key linebackers Eric Barton and D'Qwell Jackson, the Cleveland Browns are far from a playoff contention team. On top of that, the Brady Quinn/ Derek Anderson musical chairs QB experiment has yielded a lackluster 3-4 record. A win tonight will be a saviour to Ravens playoff hopes or a boost in Browns' quest to locate their ever elusive team identity. It's going down this Monday night!

BRAIN VS BRAWN:BRONCOS TAKE ON STEELERS

Coming off a sudden end to their undefeated record, the Broncos face a hungry Steelers team led by the league’s second most pass efficient quarterback in Ben Roethslisberger. Roethlisberger's evolution from a pump fake quarterback with as many sacks as completions into a model franchise quarterback that can spread the offense while simultaneously spark the running game, balances the team's offense. Denver has shown and proven that it is a force to be reckoned this season. Although their viewed as the underdog going into tonight's matchup, they currently hold the home field advantage. With the exception of their sloppiness on the punt return, the change in air pressure isn't the only thing the Steelers need to concern themselves with visiting the "Mile High City." Two great defenses, only one can be victorious this Monday night.

UNDISPUTED: BRONCOS VS CHARGERS

No one expected them to be here yet here we are with week 6 of Monday Night Football as the undefeated 5-0 Denver Broncos prepare to square off against the 2-2 San Diego Chargers. Before the pre season began, the Chargers were the favorites as possible Super Bowl contenders yet they find  themselves staring down a 3.5 game deficit behind the Broncos should they lose tonight. Which favorite will reign victorious?

BATTLE OF THE TUNDRA: PACKERS VS VIKINGS

The moment football fans have been anticipating has arrived, the first showdown between the Old Armslinger’s ex wife, the Greenbay Packers and his new bride, the Minnesota Vikings since his controversial signing with Minnesota at the start of the 2009-10 pre-season. Who will win  Monday Night Football’s ‘Battle of the Tundra’? Will it be the Packers defense featuring the hard hitting Aaron Kapman or the explosive Favre led Vikings offense featuring the virtually unstoppable Adrian Peterson? So far the Packers have won the last four matchups however it will be interesting to see if Favre can go from being ‘Gun Shy’ to ‘Gunslinger’ over the course of one game to fulfill the revenge we all know he and Brad Childress foam at the mouth over.

TITANS VS STEELERS SHOWDOWN

In a match pitting them against the team with the most wins last season, the Tennessee Titans, , fantasy team owners and fans alike will be marking their score cards on Big Ben and company’s performance on the field. Although this is only Week 1, this game is an epic matchup for a couple of reasons.
