This year’s trade deadline came and went Tuesday afternoon, supplying several familiar faces in much newer places. Easily, the major deal included sending Detroit WR Roy Williams and a few draft picks to Dallas for a slew of similar draft picks, including a first rounder in next year’s draft.

Elsewhere, former MVP Shaun Alexander signed as a free agent with the Washington Redskins, joining a club that already boasts the league’s leader in rushing yards, Clinton Portis.

The headline deal that wasn’t made was Chiefs TE Tony Gonzalez. The disgruntled future Hall-of-Famer will now finish out the season with Kansas City, for better or worse.

How will these players fare in their new surroundings? What games can you not afford to miss? Find out the answers to these questions, and much more, when you set your dial for…..

The Top 10 Must-See Games of Week 7

(All times E.S.T.)

Might Be Worth Your Time…..

10. Pittsburgh at Cincinnati, 1 p.m., CBS
The Steelers should be healthy coming out of their bye week. While the offense has failed to produce big numbers, their defense is still ranked second in the league. What can be said about the Bengals? Another tough road loss to a good team drops them to 0-5. Some fast facts to worry Bengals fans: Pittsburgh has won their last six games on the road in Cincinnati; QB Ben Roethlisberger is undefeated in his career when playing in Ohio (5-0 in Cincinnati, 5-0 in Cleveland).

9. Dallas at St. Louis, 1 p.m., FOX
This game could be interesting if the Cowboys offense collapses. Dallas gave up a ton of draft picks to bring in Williams from Detroit; it will be fun to see how the team plans to keep every playmaker happy: Williams, Marion Barber, Jason Witten, and of course, Terrell Owens. The player now leading the team may be the biggest question mark: QB Brad Johnson. St. Louis is fresh off a win against the 4-1 Redskins on the road and looks to climb right back into the swing of things in the NFC West. If RB Steven Jackson gets 20 or more touches, expect the Dallas defense to be chasing him all afternoon.

8. NY Jets at Oakland, 4:15 p.m., CBS
We have to mention Brett Favre and everything he’s done in Oakland: not only is he unbeaten, but he had one of the greatest performances in Monday Night Football history against the Raiders back in 2003. It’s hard to forget that the Jets put up 11 touchdowns in their last two games, both home victories. Head coach Tom Cable’s debut for Oakland last week was a nightmare. The Raiders got spanked 34-3 in New Orleans, with little to no hope of turning this season around. It will be up to RB Darren McFadden to finally test a strong Jets run defense.

7. Baltimore at Miami, 1 p.m., CBS
Just when we thought the Ravens were ready to challenge Pittsburgh in the division, Baltimore lays an egg against a Colts team that hadn’t won a game at home. The defense, supposedly the strength of the team, was mauled by Indianapolis and allowed 31 points. Statistically, they still top the league in total defense, but it will be interesting to see how they fare against the “wildcat” formations. Miami would have won their third game in a row if it weren’t for pesky Texans QB Matt Schaub last week. The Dolphins return to the scene of their only victory last year, an overtime triumph over this same Baltimore team.

Be Near a TV…..

6. Minnesota at Chicago, 1:00 p.m., FOX
Minnesota swept the Bears last season, but don’t expect Chicago to roll over at home. In fact, the Vikings should be considered the underdogs with an anemic offense that scored only 12 points on Detroit (2 points came on a safety). Their defense will give Chicago problems, but RB Adrian Peterson needs a big game if Minnesota is to have any chance. The Bears have their own problems on offense. Only 20 points against Atlanta won’t translate well in a game against the Vikings defense. We should a see a close game into the final minutes of this NFC North battle, with both teams locked in a 3-3 tie for first place.

5. New Orleans at Carolina, 1 p.m., FOX
The Saints pummeled Oakland last week in a tune-up game for this Sunday. QB Drew Brees still leads the league with nearly 2,000 passing yards and 12 touchdowns. RB Reggie Bush is a triple threat with his abilities in running, receiving, and returning. Carolina was smoked last week in Tampa Bay, mustering only three points in the blowout loss. The Panthers still have not lost at home this season (3-0), yet New Orleans is the only team in the NFC South without a loss to a division opponent. Something’s gotta give in yet another divisional battle for first place in the NFC.

4. Denver at New England, 8:30 p.m., ESPN (MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL)
Denver enters this one with its fair share of struggles, but comes into New England with a passing attack that bears watching. Jay Cutler and company take it to the air more than any team in the NFL, and New England has the seventh-highest opponents quarterback rating (96.2) in the NFL. On the flip side, the Patriots remain just a game back of Buffalo in a wide-open AFC East, despite a season-ending knee injury suffered by quarterback Tom Brady in the season opener. 

Getcha’ popcorn ready…..

3. Indianapolis at Green Bay, 4:15 p.m., CBS
Are the Colts really back to their old form after dismantling the Ravens? Surely this game will be a true test for Indianapolis when it travels to legendary Lambeau Field. We all know about QB Peyton Manning’s horrific record when playing in cold temperatures. Luckily for him, mid-October in Green Bay is reasonable and the low temperature will only likely be 42 degrees. The Packers are back to .500 after holding off the Seahawks last week up in Seattle. QB Aaron Rodgers still should be nursing a banged-up throwing shoulder, yet it will be absolutely imperative to utilize league-leading receiver WR Greg Jennings against an unhealthy Colts defense.

2. San Diego at Buffalo, 1 p.m., CBS
One week after bowing out to the Dolphins, the Chargers punished New England on national television. QB Philip Rivers is tied with Tony Romo for most passing touchdowns in the NFL, and is sixth on the list in yardage. RB LaDainian Tomlinson is slowly creeping up and returning to form after two good games, and could have a strong afternoon against a Bills defense that allowed three rushing touchdowns in its last game. After reeling off their first four straight, the Bills were embarrassed out in the desert in Week 5. They’ve yet to prove themselves as the favorite in the AFC East, especially with the Jets and Dolphins improving.

1. Cleveland at Washington, 4:15 p.m., CBS
The ‘Dawg Pound’ is back in business after a huge statement victory over the defending champion Giants on Monday night. QB Derek Anderson and WR Braylon Edwards ignited their explosive chemistry with a couple big downfield plays and should look to find each other early and often. TE Kellen Winslow is still not sure if he’ll play, but it is likely that his return will only boost Cleveland’s improving offense.

But, who knows what to expect of the Redskins? After soundly beating both Dallas and Philadelphia on the road, Washington lost to a winless Rams team in their own building. You have to love the parity in today’s NFL. The ‘Skins did sign RB Shaun Alexander before the trade deadline, yet this feels like a questionable move considering they already tote the NFL’s leading rusher in Clinton Portis. Washington’s inconsistency opens the door for a Browns team riding a ton of momentum to spring a trap this Sunday at FedEx Field.
