NFC South Standings, Schedule: New Orleans-St. Louis, Carolina-Minnesota

New Orleans vs. St. Louis, FOX, 1 pm: The Saints take on yet another winless team in the struggling St. Louis Rams who could be without quarterback Sam Bradford on Sunday. Drew Brees and company didn't pull any punches last week when they ran up 62 points on the winless Indianapolis Colts.

Minnesota vs. Carolina, FOX, 1 pm: The 1-6 Minnesota Vikings pay a visit to the 2-5 Carolina Panthers who snapped a three game losing streak in Week 7 defeating the Washington Redskins 33-20. Minnesota has sacked quarterback Donovan McNabb and hung tough with the undefeated Green Bay Packers last week.

Atlanta - Bye: The Atlanta Falcons enter their bye week at 4-3 and fresh off of a road victory over the Detroit Lions. The Falcons will take advantage of the week off as they heal up various injuries to key players like Matt Ryan and Julio Jones.

Tampa Bay - Bye: Things have been up and down over the last three weeks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who enter the bye week at 4-3. The Bucs were embarrassed in San Francisco in Week 5 losing 48-3 but bounced back the next week to score an upset victory over the Saints. Tampa fell to Chicago last week in London and will look to refocus after the off week.
