        <body>Houston-Indy or the Baltimore-Cincy rematch should be in the top 5 AND the MNF game. 

Lose the Knicks game and the Ohio State business. Fairly Inconsequential games.</body>

        <body>Uh...hello...SI Staff....Giants have lost the last THREE in a row....not just the last two games.  And for the record, Dallas will win.  Eagles haven't really beat anyone...only real team they played were the Saints and they got thumped.  Please...concerning last weeks Eagles thumping of the Giants - I don't want to hear any argument that the Giants are good...even when the Giants were 5-0 the only real team they beat were the Cowboys (and Dallas gave them that game with 4 turnovers - and the Giants still had to come from behind w/ 30 seconds left to win it).  

Eagles are banged up and for the second time this season will play a legit team when Dallas comes to town...and for the second time this season, they will lose against the legit team.</body>

&lt;div class=&quot;photo&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.fannation.com/upload/si_blog_post_images/46781/mark-ingram-whattowatch.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Mark-ingram-whattowatch&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;photo_attributes&quot; style=&quot;text-align:right;&quot;&gt;Mark Ingram looks to keep Alabama unbeaten. (Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;LSU at Alabama, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. (CBS)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alabama and LSU need a win this weekend if they want to compete in the SEC title game, and ultimately, for the national championsip. After losing at home to Florida three weeks ago, LSU can't suffer another loss and remain serious contenders in the BCS.&amp;nbsp; Alabama's national championship dreams may be crushed if they lose to the Tigers in Tuscaloosa. If the No. 3 Crimson Tide can somehow penetrate the No. 9 Tigers' defense, however, Alabama just might go back to being ranked No. 1.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, 8:20 p.m. (NBC)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both the Cowboys and the Eagles are coming off of big wins &amp;ndash; after defeating &lt;strong&gt;Matt Ryan&lt;/strong&gt;'s Falcons, the Cowboys are on a three-game winning streak, while the Eagles crushed the Giants, 40-17. Expect a close game. Dallas is looking to revenge last year's embarrassing loss to the Eagles, which ended their hopes for a playoff spot, but &lt;strong&gt;Donovan McNabb&lt;/strong&gt; won't stand for loss at home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Ohio State at Penn State, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. (ABC)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ohio State and quarterback &lt;strong&gt;Terelle Pryor&lt;/strong&gt; have had a year to think about last year's loss to the Nittany Lions in this Big Ten matchup.&amp;nbsp; They've listened to stories about how Pryor cried, and watched footage of Penn State celebrating in the Horseshoe.&amp;nbsp; This year, the No. 15 Buckeyes are ready to take down No. 11 Penn State in Happy Valley.&amp;nbsp; Said Pryor: &quot;You're gonna have to kill me not to play.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Cleveland Cavaliers at New York Knicks, Friday, 8 p.m. (ESPN)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's no secret: New York wants &lt;strong&gt;LeBron&lt;/strong&gt; oh-so-badly, and they're not doing anything to hide it.&amp;nbsp; On Friday, &lt;strong&gt;Shaq&lt;/strong&gt; and LeBron will make their only trip to the Garden this season, and the Knicks should step up their game to avoid an embarrassing loss. With rumors that &lt;a href=&quot;/truth_and_rumors/view/127050-lebron-wont-attend-yankees-parade&quot;&gt;the newly crowned World Series Champions will show up&lt;/a&gt;, the game will be a spectacle, if nothing else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;San Diego Chargers at New York Giants, Sunday, 4:15 p.m. (CBS)&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;After losing the past two games, the Giants are looking for a win before they head into a bye week. The Chargers, coming off of two wins, need to prove just how good they've become.&amp;nbsp; The Giants' &lt;strong&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/strong&gt; famously refused to play for the Chargers in 2004 coming out of the draft, forcing a trade to the Big Apple.&lt;/p&gt;
