Thursday night
Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers : This game will be very close. Denver has silently been having a tremendous year. The Chargers can play very well, but they also sometimes stumble. I like the Broncos here. BRONCOS, 27-24
Saturday afternoon
Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs : Patrik Mahomes is hurt. He may feel well enough to play, and may want to play, but with two weeks remaining in the regular season, the smart thing to do would be to sit him down. Don't risk him getting hurt worse. They've won the division, they nearly have a lock on the top seed, and they need him for the postseason. With him out, they won't win. TEXANS, 20-13
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens : Between these two teams, it could go either way. The Steelers have looked better recently, but never count the Ravens out. Given the state of both team's rosters, I like the strength of the Ravens defense in this game. RAVENS, 17-16
Sunday early games
Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers : Now team has a larger margin of loss than the Panthers. CARDINALS, 30-10
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals : The Browns are fading. BENGALS, 24-13
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears : The Lions defense is thinning, but the Bears offense is struggling so much, they don't need them. LIONS, 31-16
Los Angeles Rams at New York Jets : The Rams are winning the NFC West, and they seem to have found some rhythm. The Jets are in chaos. RAMS, 26-13
New York Giants at Atlanta Falcons : The Giants aren't doing much better. FALCONS, 27-16
Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders : The Commanders have been doing well, mostly due their fabulous rookie QB, but the Eagles are intense. Thanks to a Lions loss last week, the Eagles are playing for the top seed, and that will motivate them. EAGLES, 34-30
Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts : The Titans have fallen apart this season, and I'm not sure they can even play spoiler here at the end. COLTS, 20-16
Sunday late games
Jacksonville Jaguars at Las Vegas Raiders : The Raiders keep falling short, and I think a Jags late fourth-quarter drive will sink them again. JAGS, 16-13
Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks : The Vikings offense will just overwhelm the Seahawks defense, and the offense won't be able to keep pace. VIKINGS, 34-16
New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills : The hottest team in the AFC right now is the Bills. and they will continue this red-hot streak. BILLS, 31-16
San Francisco 49ers at Miami Dolphins : Tua can be tough at home, but he has been a bit off-target recently. That can only help the 49ers, although they have injury problems of their own. The Dolphins could win this game. 49ERS, 20-17
Sunday night
Tampa Bay Bucs at Dallas Cowboys : The Cowboys had early success, but they are facing tough times now. They often play well at home in nationally-televised games, but I think the Bucs stop them here. BUCS, 24-16
Monday Night Football
New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers : The Pack will march over the Saints. PACK, 30-20
