Thursday night
Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers : The games between these two often get heated, and are frequently unpredictable. That said, I have to predict. Both teams have had their highs and lows this season, and the 49ers have faced challenges with injuries. However, so many second-string players have stepped up on this team, I think the added incentive of beating their rival Rams will propel them. 49ERS, 13-10
Sunday early games
Baltimore Ravens at New York Giants : The Giants are stumbling, so the Ravens will shine. RAVENS, 27-10
Cincinnati Bengals at Tennessee Titans : The Titans have collapsed, while the Bengals have found a second life. BENGALS, 24-16
Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers : Although they do not have the worst record, the Panthers have the worst point difference BY FAR. COWBOYS, 24-13
Kansas City Chiefs at Cleveland Browns : A rare thing will happen this season -- the Chiefs will win by more than seven points. They have mastered close games, but the Browns can't keep up. CHIEFS, 27-17
Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans : The Texans will have their hands full with Tua, but they are a tough squad. TEXANS, 27-23
New York Jets at Jacksonville Jaguars : There is still some life in the Jets, but they have pretty much alienated their fans and some of their own players. The Jags have stumbled, especially in the area of clock management, but they will rally around their QB. JAGS, 17-16
Washington Commanders at New Orleans Saints : The Commanders are hot, thanks to their fookie quarterback. Their defense has some holes, so the Saints will advance, but they can't keep pace with Washington. COMMANDERS, 34-23
Sunday late games
Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions : The Lions are hot, and their defense should be just enough to frustrate the Bills. LIONS, 31-27
Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos : The Broncos are a surprise strong team this season. The Colts have their moments, but moments pass. BRONCOS, 30-20
New England Patriots at Arizona Cardinals : Easy win for the Cards, as the Pats have faolded. CARDINALS, 26-13
Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadelphia Eagles : This could be a very competitive game. It's the Eagles offense against the Steelers defense. The difference might be how well the Steelers offense plays. This one could go either way. EAGLES, 27-23
Tampa Bay Bucs at Los Angeles Chargers : The Bucs can be unpredictable. If they can find a way to get past the Chargers defense, they might win this game, but I'll have to see if they can do it. CHARGERS, 23-20
Sunday night
Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks : The Seahawks are tough at home, so this will not be an easy victory for the Pack, but I think they will pull it off. PACK, 26-24
Monday Night Football
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings : My Bears don't stand a chance. VIKINGS, 27-13
Atlanta Falcons at Las Vegas Raiders : The Raiders can be competitive, but they can't finish. FALCONS, 27-16
