Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5)

Of all the teams in the NFL, the Chiefs (7-2) are the most underappreciated. Kansas City is damn good, and getting Justin Houston back this week. Tampa Bay (4-5) will try to win in Arrowhead, something an opponent hasn’t done in 10 games.

Pick: Kansas City 27, Tampa Bay 16

Pittsburgh Steelers (-7.5) at Cleveland Browns

It’s the Browns (0-10) against a team with professional athletes. Pittsburgh (4-5) rolls in a must-win. Frankly, don’t let the kids watch. This could do far more damage to them long-term than the Trump election.

Pick: Pittsburgh 34, Cleveland 20

Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts (-3)

This is somehow an important game. Tennessee (5-5) is quietly dangerous and a win could push the Titans toward the AFC South penthouse. Still, Indianapolis (4-5) has to win this one, or its time to think about golf.

Pick: Indianapolis 28, Tennessee 24

Chicago Bears at New York Giants (NO LINE)

New York is a much better team (6-3) and gets the game at MetLife Stadium. Chicago (2-7) gave up a long time ago and with so many players injured, it’s really tough seeing a win here.

Pick: New York 26, Chicago 13

Arizona Cardinals at Minnesota Vikings (EVEN)

This is the battle of two faux contenders. Arizona (4-4-1) is the better team, but can it win on the road against a Custer’s Last Stand Vikings (5-4) team? Probably, because Minnesota is in the tank.

Pick: Arizona 24, Minnesota 20
