SEATTLE, WA – OCTOBER 29: Wide receiver Paul Richardson /

Washington Redskins at Seattle Seahawks (-7)

This is a tough season for Washington (3-4). Good enough to make the playoffs on paper, but injuries and a brutal schedule are overcoming those hopes. Seattle (5-2) has been enigmatic, but look for the Seahawks to win at home.

Pick: Seattle 28, Washington 23

Arizona Cardinals (-2.5) at San Francisco 49ers

We’re rolling with the upset here. San Francisco (0-8) is due, and Arizona (3-4) is terrible without David Johnson and Carson Palmer. It has to happen eventually, and this is the moment for the 49ers.

Pick: San Francisco 20, Arizona 19

Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys (EVEN)

This is the best game of the weekend. Kansas City (6-2) is a Super Bowl favorite, but with a win here, Dallas (4-3) could certainly enter that conversation. This pick simply comes down to weapons. The Cowboys are without Ezekiel Elliott. The Chiefs have Tyreek Hill, Kareem Hunt and Travis Kelce.

Pick: Kansas City 34, Dallas 31

Oakland Raiders (-3) at Miami Dolphins

It’s Oakland (3-5). It’s Miami (4-3). It’s horrendous. It’s Sunday night!

Pick: Oakland 26, Miami 21

Detroit Lions (-2.5) at Green Bay Packers

Green Bay (4-3) is on life support with Brett Hundley at the helm. Can the Packers find a way to beat Detroit (3-4) who is desperate with three straight losses weighing on it? This could come down to the end, but give me the better quarterback.

Pick: Detroit 22, Green Bay 20

Last Week: 11-2
Season: 73-46
