I know that we all wish that Thursday night's broadcast was nothing more than a scrimmage or something and that the Minnesota Vikings were really playing today, but sadly that's not the case. That means that we're looking at the first Sunday since early September when we don't have Vikings football to watch.

However, there are still plenty of good games on this week's schedule for your viewing pleasure. What games are there? Well, I'm glad that you asked. Here's the listing of this afternoon's match-ups.

Early Games on CBS

New England Patriots "at" St. Louis Rams (from merry ol' England)
Jacksonville Jaguars at Green Bay Packers
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
San Diego Chargers at Cleveland Browns
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans

Early Games on FOX

Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears
Washington Redskins at Pittsburgh Steelers
Atlanta Falcons at Philadelphia Eagles
Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions

Late Game on CBS

Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs

Late Game on FOX

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys

The Sunday night game this week will feature the New Orleans Saints heading to the Mile High City to take on the Denver Broncos.

So, there are this week's match-ups, folks. The rest of the NFC North will all be playing at noon Central time today. Enjoy your NFL Sunday, everyone!
