The league begins their Saturday game run to the end of the regular season. I'm picking a lot of visiting teams this week -- I'm not comfortable with that.
Thursday night
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks : One team that has continuously tripped up the Seattle home field advantage has been the 49ers, and with their potent defense this year, they should continue that trend. 49ERS, 31-20
Saturday games
Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings : The Colts defense cannot hold back the powerful Vikings offense, and their sputtering offense can't keep pace. VIKINGS, 30-16
Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns : Let's face it, the Ravens almost alwasy win these "old Browns versus new Browns" battles. RAVENS, 17-10
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills : The Dolphins have a good team this year, but surpassing the powerful Bills can be a tall effort, especially after the Jets played them so close last week. The Bills will put out a better performance this week. BILLS, 31-23
Sunday early games
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints : I'd love to pick the Falconss, but some home teams have to make a stand this week, and the Saints often do that. SAINTS, 24-23
Dallas Cowboys at Jacksonville Jaguars : This might be an offensive bonanza, but I think the Boys will have the edge in this one. COWBOYS, 34-23
Detroit Lions at New York Jets : The Lions are really hot right now, while the jets are slipping. It's a risk to pick against a decent home team, but I like the hot streak that the Lions are riding. LIONS, 27-23
Kansas City Chiefs at Houston TExans : Well, this is an easy pick. CHIEFS, 34-13
Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears : Unfortunately, so is this one. EAGLES, 31-20
Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers : The Pantehrs are starting to show some strength, while the Steelers are still feeling out their new QB. PANTHERS, 20-17
Sunday late games
Arizona Cardinals at Denver Broncos : The Cardinals have also been building up strength. Denver just can't seem to consistently get it together, so they are just not a safe bet. CARDINALS, 23-16
Cincinnati Bengals at Tampa Bay Bucs : Everyone talks about Bengals QB Joe Burrow, but it's the defense that been stellar this season. That defense will frustrate the Bucs. BENGALS, 24-10
New England Patriots at Las Vegas Raiders : The Pats defense make mincemeat out of the Cards last week, and I foresee a similar situation in Las Vegas. PATS, 27-17
Tennessee Titans at Los Angeles Chargers : This one will be a defensive battle, which might give the Chargers the edge. CHARGERS, 17-13
Sunday night
New York Giants at Washington Commanders : The last time these two met, it ended in a tie. Going into that game, the Giants were flying and the Commanders were fighting uphill. Now the Commanders are doing well and the Giants have had some struggles. That reversal of fortune opens the door for the Commanders to close this one. COMMANDERS, 24-20
Monday Night Football
Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers : Here are two teams who have been disappointments this season. In the past, when Green Bay has suffered from injuries (like this year), they have some out of their bue week stronger. If they continue that history, they should be able to outplay the Rams. PACK, 20-16
