Washington Redskins 1-6 @ Minnesota Vikings5-2
Case Keenum makes his return to Minnesota to play the Vikings. The Redskins have been awful and with an early season coaching change, I’m sure they are looking forward to the offseason. The Vikings, since the embarrassing offensive performance against the Bears, have absolutely flipped the table, and Kirk Cousins is playing up to his contract, in the last 3 games he has 10 touchdowns to 1 interception. Although, Cousins is 5-13 in primetime games this week, he should be able to build on his hot play and help the Vikings to a fourth straight win.
Redskins 13 Vikings 28

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-4 @ Tennessee Titans 3-4
This game is interesting because both teams have been so inconsistent. Jameis Winston played very well up until his London debacle against the Panthers in which he threw five interceptions. The Titans put a much different offense on the field last week against the Chargers as Ryan Tannehill went 23 for 29 with 312 yards and two touchdowns in a victory. The Titans defense should cause problems against a turnover prone Winston, and get back to 500 this week.
Buccaneers 17 Titans 20

Arizona Cardinals 3-3-1 @ New Orleans Saints 6-1
Kyler Murray has led the Cardinals to three straight victories, and now must head into New Orleans to play the dominant Saints defense. Since Drew Brees went down against the Rams in week two, the Saints defense has been incredible, allowing 18.4 points per game over that span. The Cardinals have looked better, but their quality of play has been nowhere near the Saints. The combined record of the three teams from the Cardinals win streak is 3-18, now they must play the hot Saints who get Drew Brees back this week. I expect the Saints to continue their hot streak with Drew.
Cardinals 17 Saints 27

Cincinnati Bengals 0-7 @ Los Angeles Rams 4-3
The Bengals continue their path to the first pick in the draft, as they travel to play the Rams. The Bengals have found different ways to be awful this year, while the Rams have been up and down. However, the Rams defense looked much better last week with the addition of Jalen Ramsey. Andy Dalton has lost his last 10 starts, which is the 2nd longest active streak in the NFL. I think he makes it 11 in a row Sunday.
Bengals 14 Rams 31

New York Jets 1-5 @ Jacksonville Jaguars 3-4
Sam Darnold saw ghost last week against New England, now he looks to bounce back against the Jaguars, who seem to have less of that Minshew magic, but a rebound season from Leonard Fournette has kept the offense afloat. The Jets defense will bounce back after last week, but I expect the Minshew magic to pull through this week.
Jets 20 Jaguars 22

New York Giants 2-5 @ Detroit Lions 2-3-1
The Giants and Lions both come in on 3 game losing streaks, now they look to right the ship. The Lions have been better than their record shows, and could easily be undefeated, while the Giants have shown much improvement since switching to Daniel Jones as quarterback. I believe in the end the Lions will end their losing streak and keep pace in the NFC North.
Giants 24 Lions 29

Los Angeles Chargers 2-5 @ Chicago Bears 3-3
The Chargers have been a huge disappointment to start off the season after many people felt they could dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC West, now they sit in last place trying to end this 3-game losing streak. They embarrassed the Bears at home last week against the Saints, now with questions about quarterback Mitchell Tribusky, can the Bears rely on him going forward in a tight NFC playoff race? The answer is probably not, but you can rely on this defense to get them the win this week.
Chargers 17 Bears 20

Denver Broncos 2-5 @ Indianapolis Colts 4-2
Four of the Broncos seven games have been decided by one score, so don’t expect a blowout here, but do expect a tough grinded out game. The Broncos got crushed on primetime Thursday night football against the Chiefs who lost Patrick Mahomes mid game and still proceeded to dominate. One must wonder how long before we see Drew lock in Denver. The Colts have continued to impress as they defeated the Texans last week to overtake first place in the AFC South. I think the Colts are hot right now and are dangerous in the AFC, I expect them to win this week and keep the hot streak going.
Broncos 17 Colts 21

Philadelphia Eagles 3-4 @ Buffalo Bills 5-1
The Eagles travel to Buffalo to play the Bills in what could either be a bounce back game for the Eagles, or another loss adding to the questions surrounding the locker room. The Bills are 7-2 in their last 9 games dating back to the 2018 season, and this defense has been amazing this season. I think with all the distractions and the poor play by the Eagles secondary, the Bills will improve to 6-1 on the season.
Eagles 20 Bills 21.

Seattle Seahawks 5-2 @ Atlanta Falcons 1-6
The Seahawks took a hit to their momentum last week when they lost to the Ravens at home and Russell Wilson looked human for the first time all season, now he will get the chance to have fun with this awful Falcons defense. Atlanta has been the team to allow offenses to get back on track. The Rams had 37 points last week after struggling for a month prior, now I expect the Seahawks to do the same by going into Atlanta and beating a Matt Ryan less Falcons team.
Seahawks 35 Falcons 17

Carolina Panthers 4-2 @ San Francisco 49ers 6-0
I think this game has upset written all over it, as Jimmy Garoppolo has struggled a bit the past few weeks, and although the defense has carried them against the Panthers, the 49ers offense will have to step it up. The only thing holding me back is, I don’t believe Kyle Allen is ready for this defense, and I have the 49ers improving to 7-0.
Panthers 14 49ers 17

Cleveland Browns 2-4 @ New England Patriots 7-0
The Patriots are 28-0 in the regular season under Bill Belichick against quarterbacks 24 and under. Guess how old Baker Mayfield is? Twenty-four, and with the Patriots defense firing on all cylinders, the Browns are in trouble, especially with their weak offensive line. Jarvis Landry guaranteed victory this week for the Browns, and that I’m sure will motivate the Browns to come out strong, but it won’t be enough in Foxboro this week.
Patriots 27 Browns 20

Oakland Raiders 3-3 @ Houston Texans 4-3
The Raiders haven’t gotten to play in Oakland in five weeks, as they had a home game in London, and with the thrashing they received at the hand of Aaron Rodgers, the defense will look to bounce back, but wait. they now have to play the explosive Texans offense led by Deshaun Watson. The Texans offensive line remains a problem, but the Raiders have yet to reach 10 sacks on the season, so they may not even be able to take advantage of that. I expect Watson and Hopkins to have a field day against this Raiders defense.
Raiders 24 Texans 30

Green Bay Packers 6-1 @ Kansas City 5-2
This game lost some intrigue when Patrick Mahomes went down in Denver, now the Chiefs will put their hopes in Matt Moore to try and put points up against a legit Green Bay defense. Aaron Rodgers is 3-0 in his career vs Andy Reid, and the Chiefs defense won’t be able to carry them to a victory, like they did in Denver. I expect Green Bay to win in Arrowhead and improve to 7-1
Packers 28 Chief 18

Miami Dolphins 0-6 @ Pittsburgh Steelers 2-4
The Dolphins have shown some fight the past few weeks, losing some close ones. Now, they hope to get their first win in Pittsburgh, but the Steelers defense has been surprisingly impressive this season, as the group has forced 13 turnovers over the last four games. You can only imagine how many more they can add to this number against the gunslinger, Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Steelers get Mason Rudolph back from the scary concussion, he suffered a few weeks back, which should open the offense up, and with his return, should help the Steelers improve to 3-4.
Dolphins 20 Steelers 23
