It's a quiet week on One HD, thanks to the pomp and pageantry of the Commonwealth Games, so NFL fans will have to be content with one live game on Fox at 4 am and one on ESPN at 11 am on Monday. Fortunately the later game should be a good one, with the red-hot Chicago Bears against the New York Giants, who desperately need a win. The Monday Night Football game, on Tuesday morning, featuresNew England and Miami in an AFC East battle.

Week 4 games on Australian television

Monday, 4 am, Fox Sports

Carolina Panthers (0-3) @ New Orleans Saints (2-1)

TAB Sportsbet line: New Orleans -13.5

Reason to watch: New Orleans should be undefeated, but kicker Garrett Hartley blew a sitter last week against Atlanta. The Saints will be roaring to go against a Carolina team that is in serious trouble. The only interesting thing on the Panthers' side of the ball is whether or not rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen can establish himself as the starter.

Monday, 9 am, One HD (Warning: not live)

Baltimore Ravens (2-1) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0)

TAB Sportsbet line: Pittsburgh -1.5

Reason to watch: If you can avoid seeing a live score online or on Twitter, this should be worth watching. Charlie Batch quarterbacks the Steelers again, with Ben Roethlisberger still a week away from ending his suspension. A Ravens' loss would put them two games behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North.

Monday, 11 am, ESPN

Chicago Bears (3-0) @ New York Giants (1-2)

TAB Sportsbet line: NY Giants -3.5

Reason to watch: Simple. The Giants need to win this game or it will be open season on head coach Tom Coughlin, courtesy of the passionate fanbase and the aggressive New York media. The pressure is on quarterback Eli Manning, as well as the struggling defense. Chicago, on the other hand, is living large, off to a 3-0 start which included last week's win over Green Bay. Linebacker Brian Urlacher heads a vicious Bears' defense, while QB Jay Cutler leads the offense.

Tuesday, 11:30 am, ESPN

New England Patriots (2-1) @ Miami Dolphins (2-1)

TAB Sportsbet line: Miami +1.5

Reason to watch: This is a crucial AFC East game for both teams. The Dolphins lost their first game last week to the Jets, while the Patriots narrowly escaped with a win against Buffalo. The Dolphins solid defense will have its hands full with Patriots QB Tom Brady, who's had plenty of attention lately about his long hair, that supermodel wife Giselle Bündchen apparently insists he wears.
