If this match-up would have taken place five years ago, it may be the lowest rated Monday Night Football game of the season. However, this year, the team that normally would be on the recipient end of a huge blowout. But in 2011, things are different. This team is 4-0. The team, the Detroit Lions. The Lions have not had this excitement since the days Barry Sanders were running the most entertaining one yard runs, or even dancing his way 50 yards into a touchdown. Today The Lions are a new breed.Led by Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, they are one most feared teams in the league. When playing these guys, no lead is safe. In week four, they were down to the Cowboys 27-3, and it seemed that they would lose their first game of the season. However, they did not give up,and it was the Stafford-Johnson connection that would send make the Lions 4-0. This week, they take on the Chicago Bears, a division rival. With the Lions hosting their first Monday Night football game in years, this will be a very emotional game and the Lions will look to capitalize.

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to rebound after a disappointing lost in Chicago last week. What better way to do it, then to ruin Michael Vick's homecoming. Vick was the first overall pick by the Falcons in 2001. He was the cover boy of the NFL during his stay there. He was then released and sentenced to jail after being involved in illegal dogfighting. When Vick was reinstated in the NFL he was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. After proving himself, he earned a mulit-year contract. Last year he led the Eagles to a division championship, and this matchup was my prediction for the NFC Conference Championship game. However both teams would be eliminated by the eventual Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers. Vick and the Eagles played at a very high level against the St Louis Rams last week, however, with the Falcons looking to bounce back and they lose at home very often, I predict that the Falcons will defeat the Eagles in a very close and epic battle
