ARLINGTON, TX – DECEMBER 24: Russell Wilson /

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (-9.5)

The Seahawks (9-6) are still alive, and they are going to roll the Cardinals (7-8). Seattle would be very dangerous if it gets into the postseason.

PICK: Seattle 31, Arizona 21

Buffalo Bills (-3) at Miami Dolphins

The Bills (8-7) are still alive for their first playoff berth since 1999. Look for Buffalo to handle business against a Dolphins (6-9) team that is totally checked out.

PICK: Buffalo 20, Miami 14

Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons (-4)

The Falcons (9-6) have to win and get in. The Panthers (11-4) can still win the NFC South with a win and a Saints loss. Atlanta should be a touch more desperate at home, and that’s the difference.

PICK: Atlanta 24, Carolina 23

Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens (-9.5)

This might be Marvin Lewis’ last game. Do the Bengals (6-9) fight hard? Maybe, but the Ravens (9-6) have to win, and they handle business.

PICK: Baltimore 20, Cincinnati 17

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans (-3.5)

If the Jaguars (10-5) lay down and lose, they likely draw the Titans (8-7) in the Wild Card round. Jacksonville is absolutely going to lay down.

PICK: Tennessee 23, Jacksonville 18
