Picking the games this week was too easy.  Somehow I am concerned about my results.

Thursday night

Seattle Seahawks at Dallas Cowboys : Dallas has a truly dynamic offense.  Seattle's defense isn't good enough to slow them down.  COWBOYS, 34-20

Sunday early games

Arizona Cardinals at Pittsburgh Steelers : Let's see, a struggling offense against a tough defense.  Doesn't really sound like an easy game for the Cards.  STEELERS, 17-10

Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets : The Falcons have had an up and down season.  They are up right now, and that should get them past the Jets defense.  They don't have to worry about the Jets offenses.  FALCONS, 20-13

Denver Broncos at Houston Texans : The Texans should win this game, but the Broncos are on a real roll right now.  Watch for an upset.  TEXANS, 20-16

Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans : Neither team has been consistent on offense, so defense will be the deciding factor.  In most years, that would be the Titans, but not so this year.  COLTS, 20-13

Los Angeles Chargers at New England Patriots : The Patriots are struggling, and they have to face the Chargers defense.  That's a tall order.  CHARGERS, 17-6

Miami Dolphins at Washington Commanders : That Dolphins offense will march all over the Commanders.  DOLPHINS, 34-16

Sunday late games

Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Bucs : There's a reason why the Panthers have the worst record in the league.  BUCS, 17-13

Cleveland Browns at Los Angeles Rams : The Rams offense is a bit unsteady, which makes them vulnerable to the tough Browns defense.  BROWNS, 23-17

Ssan Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia Eagles : The Eagles have matched through this season by playing close games against tough opposition.  Now they face the toughest restructured and revitalized defense in the league.  That may be just too much for them to overcome.  49ERS, 23-20

Sunday night

Kansas City Chiefs at Green Bay Packers : The Packers are scrapping back, but they will find they can't keep pace with the Chiefs.  If KC can minimize the number of their own mistakes, they should take this game.  CHIEFS, 27-17

Monday Night Football

Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars : The Bengals offense seems lost with Joe Burrow.  JAGUARS, 23-10
