Tennessee Titans 3-4 @ Pittsburgh Steelers 4-3
Will Levis was outstanding in his first start last Sunday as the Titans picked up a win but now on a short week on the road at Pittsburgh, it might be difficult to expect him to put up a similar performance. The question for the Steelers will be how effective can Kenny Pickett be as he’s dealing with a rib injury. This game is hard to predict but on a short week I'll roll with the Steelers at home.
Titans 17 Steelers 20

Miami Dolphins 6-2 @ Kansas City Chiefs 6-2
The NFL really did a disservice by not allowing this to be a Tyreek Hill homecoming at Arrowhead instead these two AFC powerhouses will face off in Germany. The Chiefs were upset last week by the Broncos while Miami was able to take care of business against the Patriots. The Dolphins have yet to defeat a team with a winning record and I don’t see the Chiefs losing back to back games.
Dolphins 28 Chiefs 31

Minnesota Vikings 4-4 @ Atlanta Falcons 4-4
The Vikings have been red hot lately but sadly they lost Kirk Cousins to an achilles injury last
Sunday in their win over the Packers. Now they’ll face a Falcons team that benched their starting quarterback Desmond Ridder in favor of Taylor Heinicke. With the Vikings starting rookie quarterback Jarran Hall, give me the Falcons to win.
Vikings 13 Falcons 24
Confidence Level:9
Seattle Seahawks 5-2 @ Baltimore Ravens 6-2
Any other week and this game would get a lot more hype however, it ‘s still an exciting match up. The Seahawks took over first place in the NFC West with their win last week over the Browns while the Ravens continued to impress as they defeated the Cardinals. Lamar Jackson has been playing at an MVP level, and although the Seahawks secondary is playing lights out right now, I think Lamar is in an all time groove right now.
Seahawks 20 Ravens 27
Confidence Level:5
Arizona Cardinals 1-7 @ Cleveland Browns 4-3
The Cardinals traded Josh Dobbs to the Vikings signaling a possible return of Kyler Murray. The Browns blew a lead last week to the Seahawks and now look to bounce back; and with the Cardinals having played tough all season, but with a new quarterback this week against a tough Browns defense, this should be an easy pick.
Cardinals 10 Browns 21
Confidence Level:9
Los Angeles Rams 3-5 @ Green Bay Packers 2-5
The Rams will be on the road for a second straight week as they travel to Lambeau to face a spiraling Packers team. Matthew Stafford is dealing with an injury and I will still pick the Rams on the road this week.
Rams 17 Packers 14
Confidence Level:3
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-4 @ Houston Texans 3-4
Tampa is on a three-game losing streak while the Texans suffered a defeat to the Panthers. This is a game where if you love offense don’t watch this one. I believe that C.J. Stroud and this Texans offense will get back on track.
Bucs 16 Texans 17
Confidence Level:4
Washington Commanders 3-5 @ New England Patriots 2-6
The Commanders traded away two of their best defensive linemen at the trade deadline, and even with New England having a below-average offense, the Patriots I believe, will find a way to win at home.
Commanders 17 Patriots 24
Confidence Level:8
Chicago Bears 2-6 @ New Orleans Saints 4-4
Justin Fields should be out again this week so the Saints elite defense will go up against Tyson Bagent. New Orleans finally put it together offensively, last week in their win over the Colts and they should be able to take that into this week against the Bears.
Bears 14 Saints 30
Confidence Level:8

Indianapolis Colts 3-5 @ Carolina Panthers 1-6
The Panthers got their first win of the season last week while the Colts suffered a third straight defeat. Indy has been bad defensively, while their offense has been relatively good this season, and although it is tempting to pick Carolina to get their second win of the season, give me Indy to get the win on the road against their old coach.
Colts 27 Panthers 24
Confidence Level:4
New York Giants 2-6 @ Las Vegas Raiders 3-5
The Raiders fired Josh McDaniels this week and now turn the page to the Giants who are coming off a heartbreaking loss to the Jets. I’m going to pick the Giants on the road with a Saquon Barkley masterclass incoming.
Giants 20 Raiders 16
Confidence Level: 0
Dallas Cowboys 5-2 @ Philadelphia Eagles 7-1
A huge game in the NFC East takes place as the Cowboys face the Eagles. The Cowboys were my Super Bowl pick to represent the NFC before the season, but after getting embarrassed by the 49ers, I was hesitant. The Eagles keep on winning but they haven’t looked right and their secondary is a major concern. Dak Prescott has had a lot of success against the Eagles and while I don’t expect Dallas to look as bad as they did in San Fran, I think the Eagles pull out the win at home.
Cowboys 31 Eagles 34

Buffalo Bills 5-3 @ Cincinnati Bengals 4-3
And just like that the Bengals are back and Joe Burrow looks healthy, which means that’s a
scary sight for the rest of the AFC. The Bengals ended the Bills season last January and Buffalo will want revenge but in the end, I don’t think the beat up Bills defense will have enough to slow down Joe Shiesty and the Bengals.
Bills 27 Bengals 30
Confidence Level:3

Los Angeles Chargers 3-4 @ New York Jets 4-3
What a showing Justin Herbert put together last Sunday night against the Bears, now on primetime once again, he has the chance to face the vaunted Jets defense. The Jets were able to survive the Giants last week, and this is a risky pick, but I believe the Jets win their fourth straight game.
Chargers 20 Jets 21
Confidence Level:3
