Another prime-time showcase for Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles comes tonight when they entertain the Texans. Yes, Houston comes off a shutout of Tennessee, but the Titans are in turmoil and nobody is suggesting the Texans should be equated with the Chicago Bears, who beat the Eagles on Sunday.

In fact, they’re usually more like a turnstile than a brick wall. Even with the blanking of the Titans, Houston ranks 28th overall on defense and 31st against the pass.

Vick, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin and Brent Celek collectively must be saying "Bring them on."

Philly is a 7-point favorite to remain atop the NFC East.

EAGLES, 28-20

Chicago (minus 3 1/2 ) at Detroit
Time to give the Bears some Lovie.

BEST BET: BEARS, 17-3

Dallas (plus 5) at Indianapolis
Imagine: Colts were 11-0 a year ago. Now, they could fall to 6-6 as Peyton Manning struggles to carry an injury-ravaged squad.

UPSET SPECIAL: COWBOYS, 26-24

Pittsburgh (plus 2 1/2 ) at Baltimore
Another game with two strong AFC teams, albeit not nearly as solid as projected when the season began. The winner has a leg up on a division title and a postseason bye.

RAVENS, 16-13

Atlanta (minus 2 1/2 ) at Tampa Bay
Man, are the Falcons good at home. True Super Bowl-caliber teams also are dangerous on the road. Here’s a chance to prove that.

FALCONS, 21-13

St. Louis (minus 3) at Arizona
Are the Rams really leading the division? Are the Cardinals really this bad?

Yes and yes.

RAMS, 24-10

Oakland (plus 12 1/2 ) at San Diego
Here come the Chargers! There go the Raiders!

CHARGERS, 30-13

San Francisco (plus 9 1/2 ) at Green Bay
Even with Frank Gore out, the Niners have the best running back in this game in Brian Westbrook. Problem is, Green Bay is far better in every other area.

PACKERS, 28-13

Denver (plus 6 1/2 ) at Kansas City
Chiefs need to keep winning with San Diego on its November-December run. All the karma in Denver is bad. Wonder if Haley and McDaniels will shake hands this time.

CHIEFS, 33-24

New ORLEANS (minus 6 1/2 ) at Cincinnati
Saints are beginning to find their stride. Bengals have been in reverse for two months.

SAINTS, 28-13

Carolina (plus 6 1/2 ) at Seattle
If Seahawks don’t win this one at home, they can kiss any playoff hopes goodbye.

SEAHAWKS, 23-13

Buffalo (plus 6 1/2 ) at Minnesota
Vikings showed some passion and positive emotion last week. Bills have to forget last week’s heartbreaker.

VIKINGS, 27-21

Cleveland (plus 5 1/2 ) at Miami
Browns nearly lost at home to Carolina. That’s enough evidence for us that Dolphins will get second home win.

DOLPHINS, 22-10

Washington (plus 8) at N.Y. Giants
Which Washington team shows up to play the Giants, the one that’s beaten Philly, Green Bay and Chicago? Or the one that lost to Detroit and Houston?

GIANTS, 21-14

Jacksonville (OFF) at Tennessee
Jaguars are in contention in part because Titans and Texans have fallen apart and Colts are banged up.

JAGUARS, 17-14

N.Y. Jets (plus 3) at New England, MONDAY NIGHT
The always entertaining Rex Ryan against the always staid Bill Belichick.

PATRIOTS, 27-17
