The NFL Roundup Week 8 - The Most Fascinating Games to Watch on Sunday

Let's face facts, this week's slate of games on paper look extremely exciting, in fact a couple of these games may be ones for the ages. We have a clash of the titans in two undefeated teams this week, and outside of that epic showdown, there's a ton of games that on paper should be extremely entertaining through and through. 

Yes, there's some divisional match-ups going down tomorrow that may change the entire landscape of the playoffs depending on which way the wins go and heck, there's even some bucket games that look like they might manage to entertain, so with that in mind here are the four games that have our complete attention come tomorrow because they will no doubt be fascinating to watch.

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT DENVER BRONCOS

Scotty's Take
This is the biggest game of the week since one team is going to leave with a loss on their record.  I cannot remember the last time I saw two undefeated teams go at it this late into the season, but I am not liking the chances that the home team is going up against.  One of the things that the Broncos have prided themselves on this season is their #1 Defense, but as you have seen the past couple of weeks, you need to give them some time to rest and the offense has not been able to provide this yet.  The Packers are a high powered offense with one of the best quarterbacks in the game at the helm and if they find themselves on the field longer than 40 minutes, the Broncos are going to be toast.  Besides the fact that the Packers Defense is no joke either this year and they are able to get after the quarterback like a defense should.  I see the game starting as a defensive battle, but it going to come down to who can have possession of the football the longest.  This will be the biggest test for the 6-0 Broncos to this point and either they will prove they deserve to be undefeated, or they will prove what everyone is thinking about them, they are just lucky.

NEW YORK JETS AT OAKLAND RAIDERS 

John's Take
Believe it or not...we have a quality matchup between two teams that a year ago, were left forgotten by the playoff Gods this time of year. The Jets are a quality squad, one that hung with the Pats last week and have been playing some fantastic fundamental and mistake free football all year long and they are going up against an inconsistent...but powerhouse Raider squad. This new look Raiders squad can score at will, frustrate defenses and given the chance...blow you out. So pitting that offense against the stout and smart New York defense is going to make for one incredibly fun football game. It might be a scoring fiesta, it might be a sound defensive game...either way this is going to be one to watch. 

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AT DALLAS COWBOYS

John's Take
So this another meh game on paper that has me fascinated for a different reason, coaching. You see, the best coaches find a way to get something out of their team regardless of the circumstances or the personnel on the field and this is no doubt Jason Garrett's biggest challenge to date, specifically on offense. I say that because let's be honest, Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel are absolutely awful at quarterback and this anemic offense is about to square off against a defense that can be stout, but can also be beaten. The Cowboys need to show that they are about more than just Tony Romo and Dez Bryant and this is Garrett's opportunity to toy with the playbook and see what he can get out of his players. I'm extremely curious to see how this game plays out and I hope Coach Garrett can wow us all.

CINCINNATI BENGALS AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS

John's Take
This game has the potential to be one of the most exciting ones on the Sunday slate. The Bengals are playing lights out on offense and defense, finding ways to win games and a lot of their success is predicated on the rarely talked about play of Andy Dalton. This is the best this kid has ever looked under center and he is on his own revenge tour of a league that doesn't see him as elite and as luck would have it...he gets a showdown in Pittsburgh against a division rival in the Steelers and these games are always amazing. AFC North match-ups have a playoff feel to them because each team knows what they mean and the Steelers look to be getting back Ben Roethlisberger as well, which means we are more than likely going to enjoy a good old fashioned AFC North battle royale and this could be the one where the Bengals suffer their first loss of the season.
