5. Pittsburgh Steelers @ New Orleans Saints (Paris)
Despite the unrest happening in Paris, all signs point to this game still taking place Sunday morning between the Steelers and Saints. Due to Pittsburgh's naturally uneven nature, they should be due for a letdown spot after winning two in a row. The Saints are coming off a road victory against the Giants and are in a prime spot to carry that momentum into Sunday morning.
1. New York Giants @ Houston Texans
The New York Giants have a chance to take full command of the NFC East if they can pick up a victory on the road against the Houston Texans on Sunday. John Harbaugh announced that J.J. McCarthy will take over as the team's starting QB. Despite getting thrown to the wolves against one of the league's top defenses, the former 10th overall pick showed plenty of promise last week. If NY can contain the Texans on the ground and get off the field on defense, they will have a good chance of pulling off a surprise.
2. Indianapolis Colts @ Minnesota Vikings
The Colts are coming off possibly the worst loss by any team this season, losing at home to the previously winless Tennessee Titans, and GM Chris Ballard losing his job as a result. People talk about the jolt a team gets the week after firing its head coach; the same can be said for the GM. Carlie Irsay-Gordon has put all coaches and players on notice, and people are fighting for their jobs for the rest of the season.
3. Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
Wins are going to come few and far between this season for the Miami Dolphins. Their best chance to finally enter the win column comes this week as they travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Jets, a building where Miami has seen plenty of success. The fact that a win against the Jets would be considered a surprise shows how far down the Dolphins have fallen this season.
4. Denver Broncos @ Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals are coming off their biggest win of the year, defeating their division rival Rams on the road. Now carrying momentum, they will face the Denver Broncos, a team that is mightily struggling on offense. A confident Cardinals team and a vulnerable Broncos team could set up for Arizona to pick up their second consecutive surprise victory.
