Can the Minnesota Vikings move one step closer to the top seed in the NFL playoffs with a win over the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football?

This week's Monday Night Football game featured two teams seemingly headed in two different directions. The Carolina Panthers seem to be sticking to family tradition by following up a winning season with a non-winning season. In the history of the Panthers they have never posted back-to-back winning campaigns and this year appears to be no different as the Panthers dropped to 0-3 with a rather uninspired showing in Dallas on Monday Night.

As we get to the midpoint of the NFL season the contenders start to separate themselves from the pretenders. Heading into this week's Monday night game the Saints remain as the lone unbeaten team in the NFC with the Vikings nipping at their heels with just one loss. The Eagles and Cowboys sit atop the NFC East at 5-2 with the Eagles holding the tie-breaker due to Dallas losing to the Giants earlier in the season. So, the question remains who are the contenders and who are the pretenders in the NFC right now.

Week Nine of the NFL season is upon us and that means it is time to start breaking down the fantasy match ups for this weekend. The marquees showdowns this week feature Dallas traveling to Philly for the Sunday night game and the Broncos host the Steelers on Monday night. The Texans also travel to Indianapolis looking to game respect around the league but it will be tough road to hoe after losing Pro Bowl tight end Owen Daniels to a knee injury this past weekend.
