Week 4 presents a number of intriguing match-ups as the 2013 NFL season heads into the first turn.  Among the interesting match-ups are:

1.  New York Giants (0-3) at Kansas City Chiefs (3-0)

Can Eli and the Giants really start 0-4?  I know that the G-Men are notoriously slow starters but 0 and 4?  Really?  Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium is one of the NFL’s toughest road environments and Andy Reid has his team hitting on all cylinders right now.

2.  Seattle Seahawks (3-0) at Houston Texans (2-1)

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks look really, really strong right now.  The Texans, on the other hand, is a team that many believed would make a Super Bowl push behind Defensive star J.J. Watt.  This might be the best game of the week and reminiscent of the O.K. Corral.

3.  Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) at Cleveland Browns (1-2)

Round 1 of the Battle of Ohio  will take place on the shores of Lake Erie.  The Bengals are clearly the better team but the Browns announced last week that they were going to play with reckless abandon.  A team with nothing to lose is always dangerous.

4.  Miami Dolphins (3-0) at New Orleans Saints (3-0)

A battle of unexpected unbeaten teams.  Are the Dolphins for real?  Will Drew Brees be Drew Brees? There is no bigger stage than Monday Night Football and the world will be watching to see if Miami will shrink from the moment.
