Steelers at Browns
Both the Steelers and Browns are looking to build off of impressive wins. The Steelers are trying to maintain a playoff spot but the Browns still have an outside chance to make it. The Browns were able to beat a Bills team that has been much more impressive than the Steelers this year and they are at home. Because of that, they should win this game.
Prediction: Browns 17, Steelers 10
Jets at Redskins
The Jets have been incredibly inconsistent this year, putting up some good games but also having many horrible games. The Redskins have been simply bad this whole year. If the Jets play their worst game, which is certainly possible, the Redskins can beat them, especially at home. That doesn't seem likely, however because teams rarely play that poorly multiple times in a season.
Prediction: Jets 28, Redskins 21
Jaguars at Colts
With Jacoby Brissett back the Colts are back to the powerhouse they were earlier this year. The Jaguars will be starting Nick Foles for the second time this year, and he is bound to struggle in his first full game on the team. The Colts are also at home, so they should be able to win this game with relative ease unless Nick Foles pulls off some of his magic.
Prediction: Colts 28, Jaguars 17
Bills at Dolphins
The Dolphins have surprisingly won two games in a row but now they face a Bills team that is trying to get a wild card spot. The Bills are much better than the Jets and the Colts without Jacoby Brissett. This game might be closer than expected because it's a divisional game, but the Bills will almost definitely get the win.
Prediction: Bills 28, Dolphins 10
Cowboys at Lions
The Cowboys are coming off of a disappointing loss but they have a ton of talent and they are still in a position to win their division. The Lions simply aren't contenders anymore especially with Matthew Stafford out for the foreseeable future. Because of this the Cowboys should be able to win.
Prediction: Cowboys 31, Lions 17
Texans at Ravens
This will be the game of the week. Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson are both complete studs and will be battling for the win. This will be a shootout between two great offenses, but the Ravens' elite run game will enable them to control the clock. Throw in the fact that they have a slightly stronger defense and they are at home and they should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Ravens 38, Texans 34
Falcons at Panthers
The Falcons are coming off a dominant victory over one of the best teams in the league, but they won't keep that up unless Dan Quinn finally learned how to coach. The Panthers should be able to beat the Panthers like most teams have all year. If the Falcons actually made some solid adjustments after the Saints game, however, they will have a great chance to get the win because they have a ton of talent.
Prediction: Panthers 34, Falcons 24
Saints at Buccaneers
The Saints will be looking to rebound and prove why they are one of the NFL's top teams, and the Buccaneers are the perfect opponent for that. Though the Buccaneers are pretty bad they have shown the ability to be solid at times which will make a Saints win more impactful in their eyes. They are also a divisional opponent, adding extra motivation for the Saints. Overall the Saints are a great team and they will be incredibly motivated to win this game so they should be able to do so with relative ease.
Prediction: Saints 35, Buccaneers 14
Broncos at Vikings
The Viking have been great this year and the Broncos have been the opposite. The Vikings simply outmatch them in every phase of the game. Throw in the fact that the Vikings are at home and they should be able to win this game easily.
Prediction: Vikings 28, Broncos 10
Cardinals at 49ers
The Cardinals gave the 49ers some problems earlier this year and they will have an advantage since they are playing the 49ers so soon after their last game. The 49ers are coming off a loss, so this game will really show how good of a team they are now that they have lost their momentum. This game will be a lot closer than it may initially seem like it will be, but the 49ers should be able to get a win.
Prediction: 49ers 31, Cardinals 21
Patriots at Eagles
The Patriots rarely lose two games in a row, especially coming off of a bye. The Patriots will also have a lot of extra motivation because of the Super Bowl from two years ago. The Eagles have a ton of injuries, and their top running back Jordan Howard and receiver Alshon Jeffery will miss this game. Philadelphia will have a very hard time moving the ball against this Patriots defense. The Patriots offense might struggle a little bit but they should be able to score enough to win.
Prediction: Patriots 24, Eagles 7
Bengals at Raiders
The Bengals are awful and the Raiders are trying to get into the playoffs. Oakland would need to have their worst game of the season to lose. The Raiders outmatch the Bengals at many positions, and throw in the fact that they are at home and they should be able to win this game easily.
Prediction: Raiders 27, Bengals 10
Bears at Rams
Both the Bears and the Rams have been massive disappointments this year. The Rams will be without Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods in this game so they will have issues against this Bears defense. The Bears offense, however, is simply not good enough to get the job done. The Rams will be able to get a drive or two to win the game while the Bears will repeatedly be unable to move the ball, resulting in a Rams win.
Prediction: Rams 14, Bears 7
Chiefs at Chargers
This will be a very good game with both the Chiefs and the Chargers being disappointments this year. The Chiefs have been better than the Chargers and have at times shown what they were capable of doing last year, but their defense is horrible. The Chargers also flash the ability to be what they were last year but they often play much worse. The Chiefs just lost to the Titans who are much worse than the Chargers, and the Chargers are at home, so they have a chance. However, the Chiefs seem unlikely to lose yet another game. Mahomes will find a way to win and keep the Chiefs alive.
Prediction: Chiefs 37, Chargers 31
