RECORD LAST WEEK: 10-6
RECORD FOR THE SEASON:110-65

Seattle Seahawks 6-5 @ Dallas Cowboys 8-3
Dallas has been absolutely dominant at home this season, and this week they welcome a Seahawks team that looks to bounce back after two straight losses. Seattle will be competitive but in the end, this Cowboys team is red hot and they’ll pull away from Seattle in the second half.
Seahawks 20 Cowboys 30

Los Angeles Chargers 4-7 @ New England Patriots 2-9
New England has been an absolute disaster this season, and if you decided to torture yourself and watch their game against the Giants last week, I apologize for what you had to see. The Chargers are the same old story, a talented roster that seems to be approaching missing the playoffs. LA has lost three in a row but they should be able to end that streak with a win over the lowly Patriots.
Chargers 20 Patriots 13
Confidence Level:7
Detroit Lions 8-3 @ New Orleans Saints 5-6
The Lions haven’t been the same since their blowout loss to the Ravens, and even worse in the last two weeks. They have seven turnovers in their win over the Bears and then their Thanksgiving loss to the Packers. The Saints lost to the Falcons and with that, they have fallen to second place in the putrid NFC South. The New Orleans offense will have to get it together if they want to defeat the explosive Lions which I don’t foresee happening this week.
Lions 27 Saints 17
Confidence Level:8
Atlanta Falcons 5-6 @ New York Jets 4-7
The Falcons defeated the Sants last week to take first place in the NFC South, now they have to travel to New York to play a Jets team that is on a four-game losing streak with no hope in sight. The passing offenses of both these teams should set the league back 60 years, but I’ll take the Falcons to get the win at MetLife.
Falcons 23 Jets 20
Confidence Level:5
Arizona Cardinals 2-10 @ Pittsburgh Steelers 7-4
The Cardinals got embarrassed by the Rams last week, now they face a Steelers team that finally got their offense to look semi-cohesive in their 16-10 win over the Bengals. Pittsburgh’s defense has been dominant over the last few months, and that should continue over a Cardinals team that has yet to win a road game this season.
Cardinals 16 Steelers 21
Confidence Level:6
Indianapolis Colts 6-5 @ Tennessee Titans 4-7
Indy has won three straight games and now for the moment holds the final playoff spot in the AFC. Indy will be without Jonathon Taylor who just had surgery on his thumb and will miss a few weeks. Tennessee defeated the Panthers last week and with how dominant the Titans defensive line can be, an upset is quite possible. However, I expect the Colts to make just enough plays to get the win on the road.
Colts 24 Titans 21
Confidence Level:3
Miami Dolphins 8-3 @ Washington Commanders 4-8
Miami defeated the Jets on Black Friday in New York and now they face the Commanders. Washington allowed 45 points against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, now they have to hope they can slow down this dynamic Dolphins offense. Miami should be able to get the win in a game that may produce a lot of offensive fireworks.
Dolphins 31 Commanders 23
Confidence Level:8
Denver Broncos 6-5 @ Houston Texans 6-5
The Broncos somehow sit as the hottest team in the NFL and are riding a five-game win streak coming into a massive game against the Texans that has huge playoff implications. The Broncos with a win, not only would have their sixth in a row, but they very well could own a playoff spot. Houston has been a surprise team led by their young star QB C.J. Stroud and is looking to bounce back from their home loss to the Jaguars last Sunday. This game in September looked boring now it’s arguably the most important AFC game this weekend. Denver has forced 16 turnovers during their win streak and I think they get a few more takeaways to keep the win streak alive this week.
Broncos 23 Texans 19

Carolina Panthers 1-10 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-7
An NFC South battle between the Panthers and Bucs takes place this weekend. Tampa has lost six of their last seven games after a 3-1 start to the season while Carolina just fired their Head Coach Frank Reich in his first season with the team. If anyone cares to watch this game I’m picking the Bucs.
Panthers 17 Bucs 25
Confidence Level: 6
Cleveland Browns 7-4 @ Los Angeles Rams 5-6
Cleveland has had the WORST injury luck this season and that continued in their loss to the Broncos last Sunday. Cleveland very well could be without rookie quarterback Dorian
Thompson-Robinson and Myles Garrett. The Rams are still in the hunt for a playoff spot and with the Browns facing all these injuries I’m rolling with the Rams at home.
Browns 16 Rams 23
Confidence Level:4
San Francisco 49ers 8-3 @ Philadelphia Eagles 10-1
The 49ers somehow are the betting favorite on the road in Philadelphia, but what a treat we get this week as we get to see the rematch from last January’s NFC Championship game. The Eagles have been playing with fire in recent weeks but have still escaped with wins in recent weeks. The Niners have come out of their bye week looking the best they have all season, mainly because they’re healthy. San Francisco players have said all offseason that if Brock Purdy didn’t get hurt in the NFC Championship game, it would be a different story. Well Sunday is their time to prove it. San Fran I think, gets a small dose of revenge this week against the Eagles.
49ers 30 Eagles 27

Kansas City Chiefs 8-3 @ Green Bay Packers 5-6
Patrick Mahomes gets to play his first game in Lambeau field against a Packers team that has turned their season around and now is in the playoff hunt. Kansas City has struggled offensively while Green Bay is getting healthy defensively at the right time, plus it looks like it’s starting to click for Jordan Love, but the Chiefs and their elite defense should get the win in Lambeau Sunday night.
Chiefs 21 Packers 18
Confidence Level:8

Cincinnati Bengals 5-6 @ Jacksonville Jaguars 8-3
The Jaguars were able to hold off the Texans last Sunday and keep their lead in the AFC South, now they get a Monday night game against a Bengals team without Burrow. Jake Browning did show he was capable of running the offense even in their loss to the Steelers. The Bengals defense allowed 400 yards to Pittsburgh. Imagine what Trevor Lawrence and company will do on Monday.
Bengals 20 Jaguars 29
