Dallas Cowboys 11-4 @ Tennessee Titans 7-8
The Titans have lost five straight games and are now in a position to miss the playoffs. Derrick Henry is also supposed to miss this game. Malik Willis is getting the start once again but Dallas defense will be too much for the rookie to handle as the Cowboys get their 11th win.
Cowboys 30 Titans 17
Confidence Level:10

Chicago Bears 3-12 @ Detroit Lions 7-8
The Lions put together a very uninspiring performance last week against the Panthers, and now a promising chance at the playoffs is very bleak. The Bears are just what the Lions need in order to keep their playoff chances alive.
Bears 24 Lions 31
Confidence Level:7
Denver Broncos 4-11 @ Kansas City Chiefs 12-3
Denver is on the road for the second straight week after embarrassing themselves last week vs the Rams in a 51-14 loss. They fired their head coach Nathaniel Hackett and now have to play the Chiefs. Last time the Broncos gave the Chiefs all they could handle but this time Kansas City should handle business easier.
Broncos 13 Chiefs 35
Confidence Level:10
Cleveland Browns 6-9 @ Washington Commanders 7-7-1
The Commanders are making a QB change so they will roll with Carson Wentz this week as they hope to maintain their wild card spot. The Browns have not looked good since Deshan Watson returned from suspension and that will continue this week as the Commanders get the W.
Commanders 24 Browns 20
Confidence Level:5
Arizona Cardinals 4-11 @ Atlanta Falcons 5-10
This game has no real playoff meaning both these teams are coming off losses. The Cardinals almost pulled off the upset over the Bucs last week but this week i am going to have them getting the win in ATL.
Cardinals 17 Falcons 16
Confidence Level:2
Indianapolis Colts 4-10-1 @ New York Giants 8-6-1
The Giants are a win away from clinching a playoff berth and with the reeling Colts coming to town the Giants should handle business at home. Whoever the Colts start at quarterback won’t matter as the Giants are headed to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
Colts 17 Giants 26
Confidence Level:8
Miami Dolphins 8-7 @ New England Patriots 7-8
This game is for control of the final playoff seed in the AFC. Miami has lost four straight and will be without Tua this week after he suffered another concussion. I have the Patriots winning and moving into the 7th seed in the AFC.
Dolphins 17 Patriots 21
Confidence Level:4
Jacksonville Jaguars 7-8 @ Houston Texans 2-12-1
The Jaguars somehow are in first place in the AFC South now they face the Texans who have played very well the past few weeks. Even with the number of players beat up for the Jaguars they should be able to pull out a victory.
Jaguars 26 Texans 23
Confidence Level:6
Carolina Panthers 6-9 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-8
This game should determine the winner of the NFC South and both these teams are playing completely opposite. The Panthers are playing very well while the Bucs look atrocious. The Panthers run game has been fantastic even running for 300 yards last week it’s just hard for me to go against Brady.
Panthers 20 Bucs 26
Confidence Level:1
New Orleans Saints 6-9 @ Philadelphia Eagles 13-2
The Eagles can lock up the one seed with a win this week but it sounds like Jalen Hurts could still be out recovering from his shoulder injury. The Saints got a win on the road last week versus the Browns but they won’t have the same success this week in Philadelphia.
Saints 16 Eagles 27
Confidence Level:8
Sunday, January 1st, 3PM Games
San Francisco 49ers 11-4 @ Las Vegas Raiders 6-9
The Raiders have benched Derek Carr for the season and now look towards next season. The 49ers are fighting to get the second seed in the NFC and they should be able to keep those chances alive with a win this week in Vegas.
49ers 30 Raiders 19
Confidence Level:10
New York Jets 7-8 @ Seattle Seahawks 7-8
Mike White is back to quarterback the Jets to play the struggling Seahawks. The Jets defense has been fantastic and with Geno Smith not playing well the Jets should be able to get the win on the road
Jets 20 Seahawks 17
Confidence Level:6
Los Angeles Rams 5-10 @ Los Angeles Chargers 9-6
The Rams got a great victory last week over the Broncos while the Chargers clinched a playoff berth last week in a win over the Colts. The Chagrers will need to get their offense back on track and they should be able to do so against a beat-up Rams defense
Rams 20 Chargers 31
Confidence Level:9
Minnesota Vikings 12-3 @ Green Bay Packers 7-8
The Packers need this win to hang onto the little playoff hope they have left while the Vikings hope to maintain the second seed in the NFC. The Vikings embarrassed the Packers in week one but this week Green Bay gets the win and go into week 18 still holding onto their playoff lives.
Vikings 24 Packers 27
Confidence Level:4
Sunday, January 1st, 7:20 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers 7-8 @ Baltimore Ravens 10-5
The Steelers are still somehow alive for the playoffs while the Ravens are still fighting for their division title. Baltimore defeated Pittsburgh a few weeks ago and whether or not Lamar Jackson is back i expect Baltimore to get the win again at home.
Steelers 16 Ravens 19
Confidence Level:2

Buffalo Bills 12-3 @ Cincinnati Bengals 11-4
By far the game of the week the Bills travel to Cincy in a game between two teams still with hopes for the number one overall seed in the AFC. This game should be a shootout with the amount of talent on both offenses and their amazing quarterbacks. With the Bills playing consecutive road games and Cincy playing like the more complete team recently give me the Bengals at home to get the win.
Bills 26 Bengals 33
Confidence Level 1
