All lines via OddsShark.com.

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings (-11.5)

The Vikings (12-3) can wrap up the second seed with a win, and the lowly Bears (5-10) aren’t getting in the way.

PICK: Minnesota 27, Chicago 20

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers (-10.5)

The Browns (0-15) are going winless, only the second team ever to do so in the 16-game schedule era. The Steelers (12-3) may rest some guys, and it still won’t matter.

PICK: Pittsburgh 29, Cleveland 17

Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles (13-2) have home-field advantage locked up, so they’ll rest everyone. The Cowboys (8-7) will play everybody and earn a second straight winning season.

PICK: Dallas 26, Philadelphia 16

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (-6.5)

Brett Hundley is awful. The Packers (7-8) aren’t winning this game. The Lions (9-7) will close a disappointing campaign out on a high note.

PICK: Detroit 30, Green Bay 17

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (-3.5)

Oh my God.

PICK: Indianapolis 19, Houston 16

New York Jets at New England Patriots (-15.5)

The Patriots (12-3) can clinch home-field throughout, and the Jets (5-10) have no chance of stopping them.

PICK: New England 33, New York 13

Washington Redskins (-3) at New York Giants

The Redskins (7-8) are the better team, and the Giants (2-13) are a total mess. Washington ends the season with a little win streak.

PICK: Washington 21, New York 17
