Miami Dolphins at San Diego Chargers (-3.5)

Sneaky game here. Miami (4-4) is suddenly playing decent football while San Diego (4-5) tries to get to .500 for the first time since Week 2. Look for Philip Rivers to get the job done.

Pick: San Diego 30, Miami 27

Dallas Cowboys at Pittsburgh Steelers (-2.5)

What the hell is wrong with the Steelers (4-4)? Pittsburgh has lost three straight and looks utterly in a fog. Dallas (7-1) has won seven consecutive games, but this is the biggest test yet. Can Big Ben pull out a win?

Pick: Pittsburgh 27, Dallas 23

San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals (-13)

If the Cardinals (3-4-1) can’t beat the 49ers (1-7), at home, coming off a bye week, everyone should be fired/cut. Everyone.

Pick: Arizona 33, San Francisco 21

Seattle Seahawks at New England Patriots (-7)

Great game and a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX. Seattle (5-2-1) is struggling badly to block, but the defense remains elite. New England (7-1) continues to be the best team in football, and is a legitimate favorite at home.

Pick: New England 24, Seattle 19

Cincinnati Bengals at New York Giants (-2.5)

It’s not the best game, but it’s intriguing. Whoever wins is in good shape for a playoff push, albeit a short visit to the postseason. New York (5-3) is playing well and is at home, so give it the edge over Cincinnati (3-4-1).

Pick: New York 23, Cincinnati 21

Last Week: 9-4
Season: 75-56
