Thursday night
Tampa Bay Bucs at Buffalo Bills : The Bills are struggling a bit right now, and might make then a target for a Bucs upset. The Bucs aren't exactly flying high, either, so I think the Bills will squeak this one out. BILLS, 24-20
Sunday early games
Still picking quite a few visitors, but it's not as bad as last week
Atlanta Falcons at Tennessee Titans : The Falcons are starting to get a foothold and showing some promise. The Titans have talent, they have just been underachieving. If the Titans can get a foothold, they could win this game. However, based upon how they have been playing, I'll go with the Falcons. FALCONS, 23-20
Houston Texans at Carolina Panthers : Easy pick. CJ Stroud is playing very well, and the Panthers are winless. TEXANS, 17-6
Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers : Kenny Pickett is starting to come along, but the Steelers still rely on the run. The Jags have a tough run defense, so I don't think that attack will work. Pickett isn't ready to carry the offense totally on his own yet. JAGS, 24-16
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers : The Viking shave played well all season, they just couldn't get wins earlier. Now they are getting those wins. The Pack just seems lethargic. VIKINGS, 27-17
Los Angeles Rams at Dallas Cowboys : The Rams seem to be righting themselves, but they go up against a tough Cowboys offense. COWBOYS, 24-17
New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins : The Patriots upset Buffalo last week, but Miami will be prepared. DOLPHINS, 27-13
New Orleans Saints at Indianapolis Colts : Here's one where I prefer the visitor, but I think the home team has enough to register the upset. COLTS, 20-17
New York Jets at New York Giants : The return of Saquon Barkley to the Giants has spurred the team. Despite a stiff Jets defense, I like their chances here. GIANTS, 16-13
Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders : The Eagles play well, and find ways to win. They don't win big, but consistently winning close games is a sign of an excellent game plan. EAGLES< 27-20
Sunday late games
Baltimore Ravens at Arizona Cardinals : The Ravens looked unbeatable last week. While I don't think they'll be as dominant, they are also playing a weaker team. RAVENS, 23-10
Cincinnati Bengals at San Francisco 49ers : The 49ers want a big win to erase the sting of last week's loss. I think they can get it. 49ERS, 31-16
Cleveland Browns at Seattle Seahawks : This will be a very close game. It'll be physical, which the Browns love but I'm not sure they have the stamina for. SEAHAWKS, 17-16
Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos : The Chiefs are dominating their division rivals, and have done so for the past few years. CHIEFS, 34-13
Sunday night
Chicago Bears at Los Angeles Chargers : The Bears are looking better, but they rather do well traveling to the LA area, CHARGERS, 23-16
Monday Night Football
Las Vegas Raiders at Detroit Lions : If last week wasn't an indication of a slide in the Lion's performance, they should bounce back against the Raiders. LIONS, 27-17
