Chiefs at Broncos
The Chiefs are trending down while the Broncos are trending up, so this game looks like it will be close. So far this season the Chiefs haven't looked like the same team that made it to the AFC Championship last year and the Broncos have looked dominant over the last two games. With that being said, the two teams that were able to beat the Chiefs were much better than the Broncos; Kansas City is too good to lose to Denver, though it should be a close game. An upset wouldn't be incredibly surprising but the Chiefs should be able to win.
Prediction: Chiefs 24, Broncos 21
Raiders at Packers
Both the Raiders and the Packers have been surprising this year, as the Raiders have looked like playoff contenders and the Packers are looking like Super Bowl contenders. Despite how great Oakland has played, the Packers are a better team and have looked better this year. Throw in the fact that Green Bay is at home and they should be able to win.
Prediction: Packers 28, Raiders 17
Rams at Falcons
Both the Rams and the Falcons have been incredibly underwhelming this year, but the Rams have been a lot better. Now they add Jalen Ramsey to an already loaded roster, and the Rams have a chance to bounce back and make a playoff push. The Falcons are awful. There's no way they beat the Rams.
Prediction: Rams 35, Falcons 24
49ers at Redskins
The 49ers have been one of the NFL's biggest surprises this year, as they are looking like Super Bowl contenders. The Redskins, on the other hand, have been horrible. They only have one win, and that was a game in which they beat the Dolphins by one point. It wouldn't be surprising to see both the Dolphins and Redskins lose the rest of their games this year. The 49ers should win easily.
Prediction: 49ers 35, Redskins 10
Texans at Colts
This is going to be one of the best games of the week. Both the Colts and Texans have looked like playoff teams, and at this point with the rest of the AFC other than the Patriots being so weak, they might have a chance to make the AFC Championship. The winner of this game will take the lead in the AFC South. The Texans have looked slightly more impressive this year, as the only teams they lost to were the Saints and Panthers while the Colts lost to the Chargers and Raiders. The Colts are at home, however, so the game is very even. At the end of the day, this game could go either way but the team with the advantage is the Texans because they have been more impressive this year and they have the advantage at quarterback,
Prediction: Texans 28, Colts 24
Vikings at Lions
The Lions have been surprisingly good this year and the Vikings have been a playoff-caliber team. Detroit is at home, and they have shown the ability to put up close games against teams like the Packers and the Chiefs. The Vikings will be a challenge, but Detroit has a great chance to get the upset here.
Prediction: Lions 27, Vikings 24
Jaguars at Bengals
The Jaguars have been disappointing this year, but the Bengals have been atrocious. Now that Jalen Ramsey is gone, the Jaguars can avoid any distractions that may have held them down. The Bengals aren't good enough to beat the Jaguars, so Jacksonville gets the win here.
Prediction: Jaguars 24, Bengals 14
Cardinals at Giants
The Cardinals and the Giants have both been better than expected this year, but the Giants have been much more impressive. They were able to go 2-2 without Saquon Barkley with Daniel Jones at quarterback with their only losses being to the Vikings and Patriots. Now that Saquon is back, the Giants have the clear advantage in this game.
Prediction: Giants 34, Cardinals 21
Dolphins at Bills
The Dolphins are looking like possibly the worst team in NFL history and the Bills have been looking like playoff contenders. There is no way Miami beats the Bills. They won't be able to score against Buffalo's defense and the Bills will move up and down the field against Miami's horrible defense.
Prediction: Bills 34, Dolphins 7
Chargers at Titans
The Chargers have been one of the NFL's biggest disappointments this year and the Titans have been bad like expected. The Titans are at home, but the Chargers are a much more talented team. They just aren't playing like it. Tennessee is bad enough for the Chargers to get back on track, but the Titans have a chance of winning if the Chargers continue to play like they have been playing.
Prediction: Chargers 28, Titans 17
Ravens at Seahawks
The Ravens and the Seahawks have both been winning games, but they are both overrated this year. They have been in close games with bad teams almost every week. The Seahawks have been slightly more impressive this year, however, and they are playing at home, so they definitely have the advantage in this game. If Lamar Jackson has a big game on the ground, however, the Ravens will have a chance to win.
Prediction: Seahawks 28, Ravens 21
Saints at Bears
The Saints have been incredible this year without Drew Brees, but now Alvin Kamara is out too. The Saints offense is completely different without him there. The Bears will be able to focus all of their attention to stopping Michael Thomas and the Saints will have problems moving the ball. On the other side of the ball, however, this Bears offense is going to struggle. The Saints have a great defense and the Bears offense is mediocre at best. This will be a very close, low-scoring game, but the Bears have an advantage because they are at home.
Prediction: Bears 13, Saints 9
Eagles at Cowboys
The Cowboys have been trending down since starting 3-0, and they are now embarrassed after giving the Jets their first win of the season. The Eagles have also looked good this year. These teams are well-matched, but Dallas is at home and appear to have an advantage. They will be able to move the ball through the air against this horrible Eagles secondary and Ezekiel Elliott should be able to take over once the Eagles start focusing on the pass. On the other side of the ball, Dallas will struggle a little bit, but they should be able to outscore the Eagles.
Prediction: Cowboys 35, Eagles 28
Patriots at Jets
The Jets are going to be confident coming off of their first win of the season, and the Patriots always seem to struggle in New York, so the Jets will have a chance, albeit a small one. The Patriots defense should be able to shut down this Jets offense even with Sam Darnold back. The Patriots offense might struggle with Josh Gordon out, but they should be able to do enough to win by double-digits.
Prediction: Patriots 28, Jets 10
