Green Bay Packers 4-6 @ Detroit Lions 8-2
The Packers got a win over the Chargers last week where the offense showed some type of progress in that game. The Lions have lost six straight Thanksgiving games and struggled last week in their comeback win over the Bears. Green Bay with their defense could pull off the upset, but I think the Lions end their Thanksgiving losing streak.
Packers 17 Lions 24
Confidence Level:8

Washington Commanders 4-7 @ Dallas Cowboys 7-3
The Commanders just suffered an upset loss to the Giants last week while the Cowboys picked up another easy win over the Panthers. Washington is a weird team to predict, one week they’ll almost upset the Eagles the next they get upset by the Giants, but in the end, I think Dallas runs away with the win in the second half.
Commanders 17 Cowboys 34
Confidence Level:9

San Francisco 49ers 7-3 @ Seattle Seahawks 6-4
The 49ers offense is absolutely on fire right now after struggling they were able to get healthy during their bye week and it shows. Geno Smith injured his elbow in the Seahawks loss against the Rams and on a short week in a battle for the NFC West division lead, I’ll take the 49ers.
49ers 28 Seahawks 20
Confidence Level:7

Miami Dolphins 7-3 @ New York Jets 4-6
The Jets are starting Tim Boyle at quarterback this week against a Dolphins defense that has been fantastic in recent weeks. Although the Jets defense struggled last week in their loss to the Bills I think the defense will step up this week and keep it close, but still come up short.
Dolphins 24 Jets 16
Confidence Level:9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-6 @ Indianapolis Colts 5-5
The Bucs defense has struggled to defend the pass recently, but the Colts offense relies on the run where Vita Vea resides. Indy has had one of the more consistent offenses this season and with the Colts defense showing improvement, they should get the win.
Bucs 20 Colts 23
Confidence Level:5
Jacksonville Jaguars 7-3 @ Houston Texans 6-4
A battle for first place in the AFC South the Jaguars to the Texans. Houston defeated the Jaguars earlier in the season and will look to do so once again to take first place. C.J. Stroud has been on fire lately while the Jaguars have shown inconsistency in their last few games. Stroud and his MVP campaign continue with a win over the Jags.
Jaguars 23 Texans 26
Confidence Level:5
Carolina Panthers 1-9 @ Tennessee Titans 3-7
The Panthers offense has made no type of progress and facing a Titans defense that is strong up front should wreak havoc for Bryce Young sending the Panthers to their 10th loss.
Panthers 16 Titans 23
Confidence Level:7
New England Patriots 2-8 @ New York Giants 3-8
The Poverty game of the week between the Patriots and the Giants. Tommy Devito had a heck of a game last week in the Giants win over the Commanders, but the Patriots defense should be able to shut them down and get the win on the road.
Patriots 17 Giants 10
Confidence Level:2
New Orleans Saints 5-5 @ Atlanta Falcons 4-6
In an UGLY battle for first place in the NFC South the Saints travel to Atlanta. The Falcons have too much talent to struggle the way they have, but with the Falcons passing limitations, I’ll pick the Saints to get the win on the road.
Saints 21 Falcons 18
Confidence Level:4
Pittsburgh Steelers 6-4 @ Cincinnati Bengals 5-5
The struggling Steelers offense faces the Bengals who will be without Joe Burrow for the rest of the season. Pittsburgh has the defense to keep them in games but the offense has got to step up if they want to hold their Wild Card spot. The Bengals have the weapons to make any quarterback look good but I need to see how Cincy does before I pick them to get upset wins.
Steelers 23 Bengals 18
Confidence Level:3

Cleveland Browns 7-3 @ Denver Broncos 5-5
The Broncos are the hottest team in football which is surprising to say after their 1-5 start. They’re also beating quality teams during their four game win streak, with wins over the Chiefs, Bills, and Vikings in that span. The Browns are on a win streak of their own and sit at 7-3 despite missing their starting quarterback and running back. I think the Broncos get the win moving their win streak to five.
Browns 19 Broncos 20
Confidence Level:.5
Los Angeles Rams 4-6 @ Arizona Cardinals 2-8
The Cardinals have played tough all season and they have shown much improvement since the return of Kyler Murray. The Rams seem like they will be without Cooper Kupp this weekend which clearly doesn’t help their cause. The Rams won a close game over the Seahawks last week but this week, I expect them to lose a close game.
Rams 19 Cardinals 23
Confidence Level:3
Buffalo Bills 6-5 @ Philadelphia Eagles 9-1
Josh Allen should have a field day against an Eagles secondary that has struggled all season, but will the Buffalo offensive line hold up against the Eagles pass rush? I have serious concerns when it comes to that matchup. I believe in Philly to get another tough win and move to 10-1.
Bills 26 Eagles 29
Confidence Level:4
Kansas City Chiefs 7-3 @ Las Vegas Raiders 5-6
The Chiefs blew a 10-point halftime lead against the Eagles this past Monday so you know they’re coming into Vegas mad. I expect the Chiefs offense to deliver a statement and the defense to give another dominant performance.
Chiefs 30 Raiders 13
Confidence Level:9
Sunday, November 26th, 7:20PM CT
Baltimore Ravens 8-3 @ Los Angeles Chargers 4-6
The Ravens won in a dominant effort over the Bengals last Thursday, now they look to keep the momentum going on the road against a Chargers team that has underperformed this season. Justin Herbert can keep the Chargers in this game, but he can’t do everyone else’s job.
Ravens 28 Chargers 23
Confidence Level:7
Monday, November 27th, 7:15PM CT
Chicago Bears 3-8 @ Minnesota Vikings 6-5
The Bears fought hard in their loss against the Lions but blew the lead in the fourth quarter. The Vikings win streak came to an end against the Broncos last Sunday night but they shouldn’t have many problems against the Bears on Monday.
Bears 23 Vikings 31
Confidence Level:8
