Steelers (4-5) @ Browns (0-10)
Steelers are favored by more than TD, but we all know the Browns have a history of giving them a hard time. Big Ben didn't seem fully put back together after their game against the Ravens. His passes were off target and the offense just was not there for Pittsburgh. He looked a lot better against Dallas, but he needed a little help from defense. I do not think the Browns will get their first W against the Steelers, as they have not provided me any reason to put in faith in them. Steelers are favored by 8.5, I see a final of Steeler 37 Browns 20.
Ravens (5-4) @ Cowboys (8-1)
Elliot impressed us all last week blowing through that Pittsburgh D-line and bringing his team the victory. But this week he gets to take on the best rush defense in the NFL. There has been talk about Romo getting his dream job back, but if that's the case Cowboys fans needs to send the link of the Owl City song "Take it All Away" to share their feelings. Here's the link so you know what I am saying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkYpqnJxzDo. Dak Prescott has been amazing and I think it would be a huge mistake to split him and Elliot up. The way they work together I bet they make to at least the NFC Championship. Flacco has been getting criticized a bit from his former teammate Ray Lewis about his passion for the game. So hopefully we see him jumping up and down after a touchdown pass this weekend and it does not affect his play of the field. Dallas is favored by seven, but I think it will be more than that. Cowboys 27 Ravens 17.
Jaguars (2-7) @ Lions (5-4)
Stafford has looked great this season, as many feared the Lions would tank without Megatron. But Tate, Jones, etc have made a great difference for that Lions offense as they sit tied a top the division with the slumping Vikings. I sure didn't expect Detroit to be looking this good, I am out $50 after saying they would win no more than six games. Jacksonville had a good off-season with free agents, but have not impressed to many with their poor record. Turnovers seem to kill their momentum, as they get a good run going then that big fumble or pick keeps them out of the game. This game should be a scoring spree, as the Lions are favored by 6.5. Look to Stafford to out duel Bortles in the Lions 31 Jaguars 24 final.
Titans (5-5) @ Colts (4-5)
Mariota and those Tennessee Titans have been on fire these past couple weeks. 47 points against Green Bay blew me away. They have been dominating their opponents recently, but receiving very little love and credit from the media for it. Their offense has taken off and I bet we will see it again in Indianapolis. The Colts are favored by 2.5 and even though I think Luck is a great QB, I believe the Titans are going to run away with this one. It should be a good game for a bit, but the Colts are becoming like the Chargers and blowing leads late. Mariota will impress us all again, as it will finish Titans 33 Colts 27.
Bills (4-5) @ Bengals (3-5-1)
This should be a good game, as both teams have their good days and bad days on the offensive side of the ball, but both have a defense that likes to deliver big hits and make a difference. The Bengals are favored by 2.5, but I think Buffalo is gonna give them all they got. Both these teams can't lose another game if they want any hope in making the playoffs. The AFC is rather packer with the AFC West eating up those wildcard seats. I think the Bills have more motivation coming off the Patriots defeat against Seattle last week. Bills 23 Bengals 20.
Buccaneers (4-5) @ Chiefs (7-2)
This game should be good, but it is going to be the defense of KC that makes all the difference. The Chiefs are favored by seven, now that might be a bit much. Winston has impressed me over recent weeks hitting Evans deep in the enzone. A couple turnover mistakes made by the Bucs will decide the game but I think Tampa Bay will keep it close. It may not be this year, but I bet Winston leads the Bucs to a division title soon. Chiefs 30 Buccaneers 24.Bears (2-7) @ Giants (6-3)
Poor Chicago fans, their team appears to be giving up on each other. But I don't know how anyone could have faith in QB like Cutler. Looking back to the days he did get them to the playoffs, he couldn't come through with his apparent injuries taking him out of games. The Giants on the other hand are in a tight spot. Those Cowboys just don't seem to lose since they played them and the Giants still want that division title. The Giants are favored by 7.5, but will Shepard, Cruz, and of course Odell the Giants should not have much of an issue in this one. Giants will have it over by halftime, Giants 34 Bears 16.
Cardinals (4-4-1) @ Vikings (5-4)
Dolphins (5-4) @ Rams (4-5)
The time has finally come, Goff will get the start as the Rams have been seriously slacking in offense the past few weeks. The Dolphins sure haven't though. It will be up to the Rams defense to keep them in the game again, as though he was the first round pick I do not expect to much from Goff this weekend. The Dolphins are favored by 2.5, but I say their offense will do much better than that. Rams will suffer turnovers that end this game before they know it. Dolphins 23 Rams 10.
Patriots (7-2) @ 49ers (1-8)
Well the Cowboys and 9ers sure are opposites. Cowboys lost game one but are undefeated since, as the 49ers took out the Rams in week one but have not won since. The 49ers streak will continue with or without Gronk being an option for Brady. The Patriots defense will make the 9ers look bad, as this game will be a blow out. The Patriots are favored by 11.5, but they will take one by plenty more. Patriots are really looking like a contender again this year. Patriots 41 49ers 6.
Eagles (5-4) @ Seahawks (6-2-1)
This should be a good one, as Wilson vs. Wentz sounds like a match up we all should want to see. Seahawks are favored by a solid 6.5 which seems like quite a bit for this game, but it is taking place up north with the 12th man. This game should be scoring back and forth until late when a turnover makes a ll the difference. Seahawks cut their leading rusher Michael, but you can understand why when those young guys were putting up some great numbers. Seattle should take this one, but it would not surprise me if Wentz and the Eagles brought their A game. Seattle 27 Eagles 23.
Packers (4-5) @ Redskins (5-3-1)
The Packers have suddenly become a joke, getting blown out in games now. I know injuries have been a big issue of theirs, but I doubt McCarthy has his job after this season. There has been some rumor going around about Rodgers and his family and that is the reason he has not been himself this year. Apparently he is fully detached from them, missing his grandfather's funeral, shipping back Christmas gifts he gets, and making his family pay for tickets if they want to visit and see him play. I don't know if that is really a factor, but Rodgers is having an off year. Cousins and the Skins on the other hand are looking great. Their defense is providing punishment and they should not have an issue shutting down the Packers. Redskins are favored by three and I don't think it will be anywhere near that close. Redskins 39 Packers 20.
Texans (6-3) @ Raiders (7-2)
This game is happening down in Mexico, as the Raiders look to be running the AFC now. Or at least currently tied for the lead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ab6ejtnhMq0 Take a look at this funny video about the Raiders now rising to power. Though their records are close, I do not expect this game to be. The Raiders should have this one thanks to the common errors from Osweiler and the great offense they got. With Watt out, my faith in Houston has disappeared and I don't expect to many more wins. Raiders are favored by 5.5 and though most their games have been close, they should have fun on Monday night. Raiders 30 Texans 19.
