Indianapolis Colts (6-5) vs Tennessee Titans (4-7)

The Indianapolis Colts have been struggling as of late on the offense end but they still remain over .500 on the season. With Jonathon Taylor out for the next three weeks they will look at the Zack Moss to get the running game going behind the passing attack for a Gardner Minshew. Look for them to lean on the defense in this game as they try to hold Derrick Henry to a limited amount of running.

If the Tennessee Titans are going to win, they will need Will Levis to play a superb perfect game against the Colts defense. Look for Levis to lean on DeAndre Hopkins and Derrick Henry all game long if they’re going to be successful against the Colts defense. This could easily turn into one of those field goal games when one play and can win it.

Score Prediction: Titans 24 – Colts 20

Atlanta Falcons (5-6) vs New York Jets (4-7)

The Atlanta Falcons are coming into this game. Need to win to get to 500 on the season. If that is going to happen, they need to make sure that they play through Bijan Robinson talented, rookie, running back that has been turning the corner mid season. Desmond Ridder has been serviceable as of late getting about a drake London and Kyle Pitts but if Atlanta is gonna win this game, they need to maximize on the ground. They can’t turn the ball over to the Jets who wait on turnovers to make the best of every opportunity.

The Jets have Tim Boyle at quarterback, and it’s been rough as late. He’s going to need Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson to show up big-time if he’s going to lead them to victory. The defense is going to do their job but it’s up to the offense to create enough momentum at home to carry this team to victory. If the Jets can limit their turnovers this could be a game I see them securing.

Score Prediction: Falcons 17 – Jets 10

Detroit Lions (8-3) vs New Orleans Saints (5-6)

The Detroit Lions have been dominant all season long when it comes to both sides of the ball. Jared Goff has this offense looking unstoppable with a St Brown and the running backs Montgomery and Gibbs this team can be special. The Lions play with that grit and toughness every single week and it’s paid off since week one against the Kansas City Chiefs. Look for the Lions to rely on the running game, but also open things up in the play action against the Saints. The defense has been special as well, and will look to contain Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara if they do that this could be a quick game that can get out of hand.

The Saints will need Cameron Jordan and that defense to create some turnovers, so that Carr and Kamara can have some opportunities to score. The Saints have been shaky as of late, but will look for this game to get back on track. The Saints can’t turn the ball over as it could be a long day for them against the Lions.

Score Prediction: Lions 38 – Saints 24

Denver Broncos (6-5) vs Houston Texans (6-5)

both the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans coming in today’s game with a lot of momentum. CJ Stroud has been phenomenal all year with his arm and his legs. If the Texans are going to win this game, he will need to continue to do that against a Defense that has been stingy since losing to Miami early in the season. CJ Stroud already has the offensive rookie player of the year in his back pocket, but will need to showcase why exactly today against the Broncos. Devin Singletary, and Tank Dell have showed up big time to help Stroud and that will need to continue against the Broncos.

Russell Wilson has been on fire as of late leading this team to a great win streak, and he’s been able to get the most out of the receivers. If the Broncos are going to win today, they need Williams and Perine to set the tone on the ground. This broncos defense has stepped up big-time lately, and will need to show up today in a huge effort to slow down CJ Stroud if they do that, they will be able to get a victory but that’s a huge if.

Score Prediction: Texans 24 – Broncos 20

Los Angeles Chargers (4-7) vs New England Patriots (2-9)

it hurts my heart to write this but the New England Patriots are in trouble at home against the Los Angeles Chargers. This is the most winning game for the Chargers as they can fall out of playoff, contention, and the season to be over. I’ll look for Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen to link up all day against the New England Patriots who are banged up in the secondary. This is to get right game for the Charg as they are playing to pretty much save their coaches job today. If Los Angeles can get the running game going with Austin Ekeler, it could be a long day in Foxboro for the Patriots. Look for the Chargers defense to get to Bailey Zappe early and quickly.

The only chance the Patriots have in this game is if Zappe can come out looking like the second coming of Tom Brady. Other than that expect a lot of mistakes and missed opportunities from the Patriots today who will be without Pop Douglas as well. The defense will need to step up for New England if they will have any chance today.

Score Prediction: Chargers 28 – Patriots 13

Arizona Cardinals (2-10) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (7-4)

this could be one of those trap games for the Pittsburgh Steelers as the Cardinals record doesn’t match the talent on the field. The Cardinals got Kyler Murray back in the lineup and they have James Connor back in the lineup, which is huge for them in this game against Pittsburgh. James Conner will be going against his former team and he’s going to want to show out in the running game. Kyler Murray’s going to have to avoid TJ Watt if he wants to be successful today and he will need to get the ball in Hollywood Brown’s hands. If the Cardinals can do that in their defense can hold up against the new high-powered Pittsburgh Steelers offense than anything is possible.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new offensive coordinator and they look like a brand new team last week earning over 400 total yards. Look for Kenny Pickett to continue to look for Deontay Johnson and Kenny Pickens, if they’re going to be successful against the Cardinals defense. Jaylen, Warren and Najee Harris have been spectacular on the ground, and if the Steelers are going to win, they will need them to be at the top of the game mixed with a Defense. Minkah Fitz Patrick said he’s playing today and that’s a huge help as they will need him to slow down Kyler Murray with TJ Watt. I look for this to be a very close game.

Score Prediction: Cardinals 24 – Steelers 21

Miami Dolphins (8-3) vs Washington Commanders (4-8)

this game is going to be a beat down. The Miami Dolphins have been on a mission all season long that will continue today. Look for Tua Tagovailoa to show out with his arm today getting the ball to Hill and Waddle. It’s going to be a huge help as well getting Achane back into the lineup as well. This dolphins offense is scary for any defense because you don’t know if they could take it to the house on any place but if Washington is going to have a chance they will need to slow down Tua. The Dolphins can beat you anyway on the office of end of the ball in the defensive end so this could be a long and hard task for the Commanders.

The only chance the Commanders have in this game is if they use the running game to keep the ball from the Dolphins. If you get into a passing game against Miami, it could be a long day at the office. This game will determine the coaching situation in Washington as well moving forward, and with that being said, Ron Rivera could be in a little bit of trouble as far as the hot seat. Washington doesn’t have the pieces to compete against Miami and that will be on display today.

Score Prediction: Dolphins 38 – Commanders 24

Carolina Panthers (1-10) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-7)

This game will be determined by the defenses as both quarterbacks have struggled this season. Tampa Bay has Baker Mayfield and he has better weapon surrounding him in Bryce Young does in Carolina. If Baker Mayfield can get the ball to Godwin and Evans, it could be a long day for the Carolina Panthers. Richard White has been doing his thing on the ground as well and he will continue to run and catch out the backfield which is going to be tricky for the Carolina Panthers defense. The Buccaneers defense will be the reason why the Carolina Panthers lose this game. If it’s going to happen, it won’t be a shoot out.

Bryce Young had to hear all week how the Carolina Panthers want to CJ Stroud so I’ll look for him to come out proving everybody why he was number one in the NFL draft this past year. With that being said, it’s a division game in that Tampa Bay defense is tough so look for Bryce to depend on the running game in his defense to help them if they’re going to get out of this game with the victory. I do expect him to throw for over 200 yards in this game, but it won’t be enough to get the job done.

Score Prediction: Buccaneers 17 – Panthers 9

Cleveland Browns (7-4) vs Los Angeles Rams (5-6)

The Cleveland Browns have been surprising everybody this season and they will have former Super Bowl quarterback, Joe Flacco leading the charge today for the Browns. If the Browns are going to win this game, it will be need to to be done with a Defense and the running game. Look for Joe Flacco to depend on Amari Cooper and Kareem Hunt, his reliable Veterans to get him to the finish line today against the Rams. Myles Garrett will have to get to Matthew Stafford a couple of times in order for the Browns to slow down the high powered offense on the Rams.

The Rams have been banged up as of late, but they still have Cooper Kupp and he’s one of the best in the game look for Matthew Stafford to find Kupp quick and in a hurry against the Cleveland Browns defense. Williams has been special in the backfield, and they will lean on him in this game with his running ability. It’s going to come down to turnovers and whoever can get the most or slow down the opposite offense will win this game. Aaron Donald is a problem and will be making it tough on Joe Flacco in his game back.

Score Prediction: Rams 27 – Browns 20

San Francisco 49ers (8-3) vs Philadelphia Eagles (10-1)

This will probably be the game of the year as we get a rematch of the NFC championship game from last year but this time everyone’s healthy. I’ll look for both teams to be physical as they match up perfectly.

Jalen Hurts has been giving MVP praise from the media as of late in this game could propel him to that mission of his. The ultimate goal is a Championship for Jalen, but this is as close as it gets when it comes to a tough game. Look for him to find AJ Brown and Devonta Smith early in this game. Jalen Hurts Will have to put the team on his back today against the 49ers but he’s been special with his arm in his legs all season long. If the Eagles want to show that they can win the Super Bowl this year this will be a step in the right direction. The defense has been special all year long as well and they will have a lot of trouble trying to hold Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Deebo Samuels, but will they be up to the task. The Eagles are as complete as they can be, and have been showing the whole NFL that they can do this on a weekly basis. They should be a slugfest of a game today.

Brock Purdy will have to be turnover free today if the 49ers are gonna win this game against the Eagles. Brock Purdy get hurt in the NFC Championship Game and will need to showcase his talent today against the Eagles defense. It will be special to see Brock Purdy go toe to toe with the MVP, caliber quarterback, and I believe with the playmakers that he has he could be able to be successful today against the Eagles defense. Look for Christian McCaffrey to have a huge game today as the 49ers are going to depend on him to carry them in the passing and running game.

Score Prediction: 49ers 24 – Eagles 20

Cincinnati Bengals (5-5) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4)

This AFC North matchup where both teams lost in their previous games last week, as both teams lost to their divisional rivals, The Bengals lost a close game to the Ravens 34-20 and the Steelers last to the Browns 13-10

The big story of last weeks loss is that the Bengals lost Joe Burrow for the rest of the year with a hand injury. They will need the rest of the team to step up in the absence of their star quarterback. 

Jaylen Warren continues to shine as the lead back in Pittsburgh, as he rushed for 129 yards with the only touchdown of the game on 9 carries. The story of the week for the Steelers are that they had a locker room meltdown with receiver Diontae Johnson and Minkah Fitzpatrick. If the Steelers want to make a playoff push they will need their team to knock off the nonsense and get fully focused. 

Score Prediction: Bengals 13 – Steelers 20

Houston Texans (6-4) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (7-3)

Both teams are coming off wins in each of their last week’s matchups, as the Jags blew out the Titans and the Texans are coming off a close win against the Cardinals in a game that C.J. Stroud was reminded that he’s a rookie. 

Stroud passed for 336 yards with two touchdowns but had three interceptions in the game against the Cardinals , the bright side is rookie Tank Dell continues his impressive start to his career as he had 149 yards and one touchdown on 8 receptions in the win, they will need another big game from him this week to try and keep up with the Jags. 

Trevor Lawrence had himself a day against the Titans, passing for 262 yards with two touchdowns, and star receiver Calvin Ridley had 103 yards with one touchdown on 7 receptions, both teams have the talent to run up a score so this should be a high scoring affair. 

Score Prediction: Texans 35 – Jaguars 38

Indianapolis Colts (5-5) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6)

The Colts are coming off a win against the the Patriots last week 10-6 in a slow game that had little to none offense. The Buccaneers are coming off a loss to the 49ers 27-14 in a game that the Buccaneers offense struggled against one of the best defenses. 

Jonathan Taylor scoring was the only thing the Colts had to be happy about last week’s win as other than that there wasn’t much offense, Garner Minshew had 194 yards with one interception and zero touchdowns. 

Baker Mayfield passed for 246 yards with one touchdown and one interception and a fumble, Bakers short career has been plagued with poor decision making and turnovers and that continued last week in the loss to the 49ers. 

Score Prediction: Colts 13 – Buccaneers 17

Atlanta Falcons (4-6) vs New Orleans Saints (5-5)

Another Divisional Matchup with two teams that both loss last week as the Falcons lost to the Cardinals before their week off, and the Saints lost to the Vikings as they came up short on making a late comeback after being down 24 at one point in the game.  

The Falcons pass game has been atrocious all season and rookie Bijan Robinson has been held on a short leash, but found the end zone in their last game. They will need to let him off the leash so he can grown and develop, but until this the Falcons will continue to struggle. 

The Saints turned to Jameis Winston for a spark and he almost led the comeback against the Vikings but lost 27-19. Winston had 122 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss. 

Score Prediction: Falcons 13 – Saints 20

New York Giants (3-8) vs New England Patriots (2-8)

The Giants are coming off an upsetting win against the Commanders as they will continue to play the role of spoilers in trying to effect other teams playoff seeding. The Patriots are coming off a bye after their loss to the Colts in a game that the offense was a no-show. 

Tommy DeVito had three touchdowns and 246 yards in last weeks win against the Commanders, this week he should have a green light to air it out against the struggling Patriots. 

The Patriots have no clue what is is wrong with the quarterback situation as Mac Jones struggles continue and Zappe isn’t making the difference they need. Their season is hanging on by a hair and is it about time to move on from Mac Jones?

Score Prediction: Giants 16- Patriots 13

Tennessee Titans (3-7) vs Carolina Panthers (1-9) 

Both teams are coming off blowout losses in their matchups from last week. The Panthers got beat 33-10 by Dallas and the Jags torched the Titans 34-14. 

Will Levis had 158 yards with two touchdowns in the loss to the Jags as he is slowly coming along, and should’ve the quarterback for their franchise if he can get the supporting cast around him that he needs. 

Bryce Young still continues to struggle week after week with another game with multiple turnover, at least he threw a touchdown and had 123 yards. The Panthers have two choices shut down Young so he doesn’t get hurt or let him grow and let him play the rest of the season. 

Score Prediction Titans 17 -Panthers 6

Arizona Cardinals (2-9) vs Los Angeles Rams (4-6)

The Cardinals are coming off a loss to the Texans 21-16 and the Rams are coming off a one point win against the Seahawks. 

Kyler Murray had 214 yards and one touchdown and one interception in the loss to the Texans, it is good for Murray to get reps so he can get back into groove for next season but how much exactly do you play him so you don’t risk another injury. 

The Rams will be relying on backup Carson Wentz to lead them to victory this week against the Cardinals. As Stafford is injured. The former 2nd overall pick isn’t afraid of the bright lights and should be able to go out there and help get a win. 

Score Prediction: Cardinals 20 – Rams 27

Denver Broncos (5-5) vs Cleveland Browns (7-3)

Both teams are getting in groove at the right time of the year as they both won their last weeks matchup. Denver had a game winning drive against the Vikings where Russell Wilson found Courtland Sutton with 1:03 left in the game giving them a one point win. And the Browns are coming off a game winning field goal against their rival Steelers. 

Russell Wilson passed for 259 yards and one touchdown in the win against the Vikings, the Broncos momentum continues to grow and the team is finally having that confidence in their quarterback that they were supposed to have last year. 

The Browns are without quarterback Deshaun Watson but have found a diamond in the rough in Dorian Thompson-Robinson, he may have not thrown a touchdown in last week’s game he made just enough plays to lead them to a win. 

Score Prediction: Broncos 20 – Browns 24

Las Vegas Raiders (5-6) vs Kansas City Chiefs (7-3)

Both teams are coming off losses as the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl rematch against the Eagles last week in a game that no one wanted to end, but ultimately the Chiefs receivers couldn’t hold on to the win or the ball… The Raiders lost to the Dolphins in their last outing 20-13. 

The Raiders are playing with confidence after firing head coach and promoting Antonio Pierce as head coach. Rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell struggled against the Dolphins passing for 271 yards with one touchdown but had three interceptions. Davantae Adam’s had 82 yards with one touchdown last week as he’s finally coming along and showing what he’s about, the Raiders are still waiting for their running back Jacobs to finally breakout and this could be the week they see it as they will need to control time of possession to stay in this game. 

Patrick Mahomes played decent in the loss against the Eagles having 177 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, main story to the loss was the receiving core couldn’t hold on to the ball if their life’s depended on it, with less than two minutes left in the game Mahomes took a deep shot to Marquez Valdez-Scantling and he had the ball in his hands but when going to the ground he dropped it. The Chiefs should have an easier game against the Raiders but will need to get the team to come together and have everyone do their job if they want to get back to the promise land and win another Super Bowl. 

Score Prediction: Raiders 17 – Chiefs 31

Philadelphia Eagles (9-1) vs Buffalo Bills (6-5)

The Eagles are coming off an impressive win against the Chiefs in their Super Bowl rematch, while Bills are coming off a blowout win against their rivals the Jets. Both teams need this win as the Eagles look to stay atop the NFC and the Bills are trying to catchup to the Dolphins. 

Jalen Hurts didn’t play his best game against the Chiefs but made the plays when they mattered like the deep ball to Devonta Smith, Hurts had 150 yards with one interception but ran in two touchdowns, the pass game is still up in the air but is beginning to come back to the Eagles. They will need the whole team’s effort today against the Bills strong defense. 

Josh Allen had three touchdowns and one interception with 275 yards in their blowout win against the Jets. Allen’s play this year has been real up and down as he can’t find his groove that we saw the previous years. Josh Allen will need to play close to perfect game to stay in this game against the Eagles. 

Score Prediction: Eagles 28 – Bills 17
