NFL ON TV
SUNDAY
RAIDERS AT BENGALS
Time: 10 a.m.
TV/radio: Ch. 13, 1140
Line: Bengals by 8
Records: Raiders 3-7, Bengals 5-5
The skinny: With two consecutive victories, the Bengals have revitalized their season. A schedule that includes San Diego, Dallas and Philadelphia after the Raiders has them salivating about their chances of making the postseason. Oakland, loser of three in a row, has former Bengals QB Carson Palmer. It will be Palmer's first time facing the Bengals since he forced a trade to Oakland last year.
VIKINGS AT BEARS
Time: 10 a.m.
TV: FOX40
Line: No Line
Records: Vikings 6-4, Bears 7-3
The skinny: After getting chewed up by the 49ers last Monday, Chicago's battered offensive line gets to face Jared Allen, Chad Greenway and the Vikings at Soldier Field. No, Minnesota (6-4) is not in San Francisco's class for creating mayhem with a physically imposing defense. But the way the Bears (7-3) are blocking make that NOT blocking for their quarterbacks, just about any team will be a major challenge, whether it's Jay Cutler back from a concussion or backup Jason Campbell on the field.
49ERS AT SAINTS
Time: 1:25 p.m.
TV/radio: FOX40, 1320, 98.5
Line: 49ers by 1 1/2
Records: 49ers 7-2-1, Saints 5-5
The skinny: As intriguing as any game on the schedule for many reasons. Reports say coach Jim Harbaugh named Colin Kaepernick the starting quarterback for this game regardless of Alex Smith's availability coming back from a concussion. A quarterback controversy is beginning to brew. Regardless, it's the San Francisco defense that could decide things. If the 49ers can put pressure on Drew Brees and the increasingly dynamic Saints offense Aldon Smith leads the NFL with 15 sacks they could control matters. But New Orleans has won three straight and five of six, and Brees could become the third player with 30 TD passes in five seasons.
PACKERS AT GIANTS
Time: 5:20 p.m.
TV: Ch. 3
Line: Giants by 2 1/2
Records: Giants 6-4, Packers 7-3
The skinny: The last time they met, New York eliminated a 16-1 Packers team from the playoffs. At Lambeau Field. The Giants will need to rekindle the overwhelming pass rush that was decisive in that game, plus get Eli Manning back on track. He's struggled the last two weeks, both losses, and hasn't played particularly well in a month. A better running game also would help. Green Bay, though, has five straight victories and is tied with Chicago atop the NFC North. In his past seven games, Aaron Rodgers has 24 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 117 QB rating. There's a chance he could get back top receiver Greg Jennings from a torn abdominal muscle, too.
MONDAY
PANTHERS AT EAGLES
Time: 5:30 p.m.
TV: ESPN
Line: No Line
Records: Eagles 3-7, Panthers 2-8
The skinny: No, the NFL can't flex games to the prime-time broadcast on Mondays, so viewers are stuck with two of the league's biggest flops. Carolina thought it would build off Cam Newton's sensational rookie season, but instead of sizzling it has fizzled. No worse than the Eagles, though.
