Thanks to the home game, the 49ers will not be on until 1:15pm pacific time. In the meantime, we've got a host of intriguing match-ups for you to enjoy. If you don't have the NFL Red Zone channel to enjoy the games, feel free to check out the discussion in here. Here are a few of the better match-ups of the day.
Cardinals-Bears
The biggest for 49ers fans is the NFC West leading Arizona Cardinals traveling to Soldier Field to take on the wildly inconsistent Chicago Bears. Both teams are 4-3, but Chicago gets the home field edge. The Bears have struggled on the road, but are fairly solid at home, which could lead to a tough game for the Cardinals. Of course, nobody really knows what Cardinals team will show up given their inconsistencies.
Ravens-Bengals
This game has huge AFC North implications. A Bengals win would secure a season sweep of the Ravens and put the Bengals further in the driver's seat for a playoff spot. A Ravens win leaves the AFC North further muddled.
Texans-Colts
The Texans are flying high on a 3-game winning streak, while the Colts are coming off a tough win over our 49ers. The Texans have been looking to turn the corner from a .500 team and a win at Indianapolis would give them a whole lot of credibility.
We'll be opening up our 49ers-Titans thread at 12:30, but feel free to enjoy the morning games in the meantime.
