We're staying home this week for the big border battle between Minnesota and Green Bay. Don't want to reveal anyone else's secret, but rest assured that we'll also have an ESPN.com staffer at Soldier Field for Chicago's showdown with Tennessee.

From me, you can expect the usual assortment of pregame, in-game and postgame blog entries from the Metrodome starting early Sunday morning.

As it turns out, this weekend will allow us to even out the game distribution for the top three NFC North teams in the inaugural season of this blog. After Sunday, we will have seen Chicago, Green Bay and Minnesota four times apiece this season. We tried to keep things relatively fair while also hitting the most compelling games during the first half of the season, and here are our results:

TeamNo. of games
Chicago Bears4
Detroit Lions1
Green Bay Packers3
Minnesota Vikings3

We haven't given the Lions their fair shake of game coverage, but at 0-8 I'm guessing their fans aren't outraged about it.
