RECORD LAST WEEK: 5-8
RECORD FOR THE SEASON:63-38

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-3 @ Buffalo Bills 4-3
Both teams have struggled in recent weeks. The Bills struggles mainly pertain to injuries on defense but with coming off an upset loss to the Patriots, I expect Josh Allen and company to bounce back at home and get the win over Baker and the Bucs.
Bucs 17 Bills 28
Confidence Level:8

Philadelphia Eagles 6-1 @ Washington Commanders 3-4
The Commanders tend to give the Eagles problems over the past year but with the way Sam Howell is playing right now, I have my concerns. Philly got a big win over the Dolphins and with a tough stretch of opponents coming up, getting a win over the Commanders is important.
Eagles 28 Commanders 23
Confidence Level:8
Atlanta Falcons 4-3 @ Tennessee Titans 2-4
The Titans seem to be sellers already trading Kevin Byard, but also potentially trading Derrick Henry and Deandre Hopkins. The Falcons are in first place in the NFC South despite a struggling offense. This game is weird to predict but the Titans will be starting either Will Levis or Malik Willis. I think but AM NOT confident that the Falcons win Sunday.
Falcons 20 Titans 16
Confidence Level:2
Jacksonville Jaguars 5-2 @ Pittsburgh Steelers 4-2
Jacksonville has gotten back on track after a slow start to the season; now they face a Steelers team that has won two straight games and looks to keep pace with the Ravens in a tough AFC North division race. Pittsburgh has the pass rush to get to Trevor Lawrence but I have doubts in the secondary to hold up against the plethora of Jaguars weapons.
Jaguars 24 Steelers 23
Confidence Level:5
New York Jets 3-3 @ New York Giants 2-5
Whatever the over under is on total points for this game, take the under! The Jets have one of the NFL’s best defenses that has caused fits for Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Jalen Hurts. So whether it be against Tyrod Taylor or Daniel Jones, I expect a similar effort especially off a bye week. The Giants defense put up a masterclass last week against the Commanders but I don’t see them getting the win against their same state rival.
Jets 17 Giants 13
Confidence Level:7
New England Patriots 2-5 @ Miami Dolphins 5-2
New England pulled off an insane comeback win over the Bills last week, now they look to build on that heading to Miami. The Dolphins suffered their second defeat of the season to the Eagles, and now as they look to get back on track they could possibly be without Tyreek Hill who is dealing with a hip injury. The Dolphins with or without Hill though should get the win.
Patriots 17 Dolphins 26
Confidence Level:9
Los Angeles Rams 3-4 @ Dallas Cowboys 4-2
Dallas is coming off a bye while the Rams suffered a tough defeat to the Steelers. Dallas has too much talent and getting rest during the bye should help them to get the win over the Rams and move to 5-2.
Rams 20 Cowboys 30
Confidence Level:8
New Orleans Saints 3-4 @ Indianapolis Colts 3-4
The Saints haven’t been too good in recent weeks offensively, but their defense has done everything they can to keep them in games. The Colts just put up 38 points against the elite Browns defense however, and are the only team to score 20+ points in every game. Indy has been a tough team to beat and I think they’ll get the win at home this week.
Saints 17 Colts 23
Confidence Level:5
Houston Texans 3-3 @ Carolina Panthers 0-6
A matchup of the first two picks in this past year’s NFL Draft, C.J. Stroud leads the Texans into Carolina against Bryce Young and the Panthers. Stroud has been fantastic for the Texans thus far while Young has struggled, but the Texans aren’t just C.J. Stroud, they have a great defense and should get the win.
Texans 23 Panthers 19
Confidence Level:7
Minnesota Vikings 3-4 @ Green Bay Packers 2-4
The Vikings have won two straight games without Justin Jefferson while the Packers have lost three straight games. The Packers have the defense to slow down the Vikings offense, but will Jordan Love be able to improve his play? I’m going to take the risk and pick the Packers at home.
Vikings 20 Packers 26
Confidence Level:0

Cleveland Browns 4-2 @ Seattle Seahawks 4-2
This game is tough because I love what the Browns are doing especially on defense, but I don’t trust their offense. They now travel to Seattle whose defense may not be elite but they certainly are a tough group, especially in the secondary. I do think this will be a low-scoring game, but I have the Seahawks coming out with the win.
Browns 17 Seahawks 19
Confidence Level: 4
Cincinnati Bengals 3-3 @ San Francisco 49ers 5-2
The 49ers defense hasn’t looked like their normal selves during the two-game losing streak and now they’ll be without Brock Purdy who is dealing with a concussion. The Bengals are coming off a bye and after a slow start have little room for error in the AFC playoff race. I have the Bengals sending the Niners to their third straight loss and moving to over 500. For the first time this season.
Bengals 22 49ers 17
Confidence Level 3
Kansas City Chiefs 6-1 @ Denver Broncos 2-5
The Broncos remembered how to win last week as they defeated the Packers while the Chiefs have won six straight games and already defeated the Broncos once this season. Simply, they’ll do it again this week.
Chiefs 23 Broncos 14
Confidence Level:10
Baltimore Ravens 5-2 @ Arizona Cardinals 1-6
The Ravens have a ton of momentum right now after crushing the Lions last week, and they
should take that into Arizona against the Cardinals who have lost four straight games. Expect
Lamar and company to move to 6-2 in the desert.
Ravens 28 Cardinals 16
Confidence Level:10
Sunday, October 29th, 7:20 PM CT
Chicago Bears 2-5 @ Los Angeles Chargers 2-4
The Chargers have been disappointing so far this season but the Bears are the perfect team to get back on track against. Chicago did win last week over the Raiders but Justin Herbert should have his way against this poor Bears defense.
Bears 20 Charger 34
Confidence Level:9
Monday, October 30th, 7:15 PM CT
Las Vegas Raiders 3-4 @ Detroit Lions 5-2
Both these teams got embarrassed last week and will look to get the nasty taste out of their
mouths on Monday night. The Raiders aren’t only playing consecutive road games, they also
don’t have one single advantage over the Lions, and that’s why Detroit will get back in the win column.
Raiders 16 Lions 35
Confidence Level:10
