&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This week’s Friday edition of our &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000007”&amp;gt;NFL&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; Google+ hangout -- “NFL Slam with Mark and Sam,” starring Times NFL columnist Sam Farmer and &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PECLB0000014659”&amp;gt;Mark Thompson&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; of “Mark and Brian” radio fame -- will start at 11:30 a.m. and cover a host of topics, which may include:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ravens vs. &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000039”&amp;gt;Cowboys&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;: The Ravens have won 13 in a row at home and should be able to break out of last week’s offensive doldrums against Dallas, especially the way the Cowboys turn over the ball.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000192”&amp;gt;Patriots&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; vs. &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000058”&amp;gt;Seahawks&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;: New England’s up-tempo offense is on a roll, and the Patriots will look to use the no-huddle to create defensive mismatches. A shootout won’t suit the Seahawks.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000057”&amp;gt;49ers&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; vs. &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000197”&amp;gt;Giants&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;: The 49ers have added some capable receivers, something they sorely lacked&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;when they lost to the Giants in the &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”EVSPR00003532”&amp;gt;NFC&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; championship game. In fact, &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT0013927”&amp;gt;Mario Manningham&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; was a Giant last season.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Chargers vs. &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000040”&amp;gt;Broncos&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;: Peyton &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”PESPT008423”&amp;gt;Manning&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt; has been on the losing end of five of his last six games against the Chargers. The Chargers won’t flop at home the way they did with their three-point performance vs. the &amp;lt;runtime:topic id=”ORSPT000032”&amp;gt;Falcons&amp;lt;/runtime:topic&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;”NFL Slam with Mark and Sam” is held every Monday and Friday at 11:30 a.m. You can watch it on this blog post.
