Cheeseheads vs. Cheesesteaks: Green Bay (7-4), the second-hottest team in the league behind the Steelers, has won six in a row heading into Philadelphia (10-1), where the Eagles continue to pound on everybody but, well, you know who. This is a rematch of last year's playoff game, won by the Eagles, 20-17, in overtime. But it could be a preview of this year's NFC championship game.

Belichick to Browns? Bill Belichick is going back to Cleveland, but only to face his former team, not coach them. The Browns are in need of a new head coach after Butch Davis resigned last week (before he was fired). Offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie will be interim coach, and it's not a good way to start: The Patriots have won 25 of their past 26 and have scored first in an NFL-record 16 games in a row.

Bead on Reed: Cincinnati QB Carson Palmer would be wise to keep his eye on Ravens S Ed Reed when the AFC North foes meet in Baltimore. In their last meeting, Reed had two interceptions for 90 return yards. He has six interceptions this season with a league-best 48.3-yard return average. In less than three seasons, he has 18 picks for a 32.7-yard return average, highest in NFL history.

4
Pick on Vick: Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick leads his team and all NFL quarterbacks with 706 yards rushing. His yards-per-carry average of 7.2 leads all NFL rushers. The Falcons can clinch the NFC South title with a victory or tie at Tampa Bay, and Vick is easily on pace to break the league record for rushing yards by a quarterback (968) set by Bobby Douglass of the Chicago Bears in 1972.

Dominating duo: Good thing Peyton Manning, who has been sacked an AFC-low six times, doesn't have to face defensive ends Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney. His teammates with the Colts have combined for 17, most among any duo in the league. Mathis leads all players with 10.
