NFL: Head-to-head

Best of the rest

RAVENS (4-2) AT SAINTS (5-1)

11 a.m.

The skinny: Baltimore hasn't lost after a bye since 2001. But the Saints are really enjoying being back home in New Orleans (3-0 in '06).

Prediction: Saints, 20-13

SEAHAWKS (4-2) AT CHIEFS (3-3)

11 a.m.

The skinny: The Seahawks without QB Matt Hasselbeck is like Seattle without rain. Kansas City is adapting to life with its new quarterback, except against the Steelers.

Prediction: Chiefs, 27-23

FALCONS (4-2) AT BENGALS (4-2)

11 a.m.

The skinny: The Falcons take step two of their five-week tour through the AFC North. This one won't end as rosy as the overtime victory against the Steelers.

Prediction: Bengals, 28-17

COWBOYS (3-3) AT PANTHERS (4-3)

6:15 p.m.

The skinny: It's taken Bill Parcells this long to discover that Drew Bledsoe ain't the guy? Julius Peppers' favorite place to feast: Tony Romo's ribs.

Prediction: Panthers, 23-17

Worth watching

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (2-4) AT CHICAGO BEARS (6-0),11 a.m. — There can only be one thing worse for the 49ers than facing the unbeaten Bears: Facing them when they're rested.

Prediction: Bears, 34-6

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (2-4) AT NEW YORK GIANTS (4-2),11 a.m. — Since the bye, the Giants have won three in a row by a combined 82-39. The Bucs have provided more drama, winning two in a row in the last minute.

Prediction: Giants, 27-13.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (3-3) AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (4-3), 11 a.m. — The Eagles have lost their past two on last-second field goals. That's not as bad as losing to the Texans, which Jacksonville always seems to do.

Prediction: Eagles, 24-20
