Key matchups of the week:
Texans @ Jets – The Texans are 4-0 for the first time in team history. Playing in the national spotlight against a team embroiled in quarterback controversy could be dangerous. If Mark Sanchez gets the Jets off to a fast start, this could end up a classic trap game for the Texans.
Broncos @ Patriots – Peyton Manning vs Tom Brady, enough said.
Eagles @ Steelers – The Steelers are sub-.500 and have been slowed by injuries. The Eagles are 3-1 with a couple of narrow escapes. If Pittsburg can get some players back, namely running back Rashard Mendenhall and linebacker James Harrison, Philadelphia could be in for a long day. At the end of the day, whichever quarterback remains standing, Michael Vick or Ben Roethlisberger, will take the win.
