The Pittsburgh Steelers are attempting to pull out of their skid, while the Houston Texans look to make it 10 straight wins.

We’ve got a full slate of games with playoff-clinching scenarios to watch all over the place. Let’s get right into it!

As always, all the lines are courtesy of OddsShark.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans (-4)

The Titans (6-6) have to win. The Jaguars (4-8) proved they can win a game with Cody Kessler last week. Don’t bet on two weeks straight.

Pick: Tennessee 19, Jacksonville 10

Atlanta Falcons at Green Bay Packers (-5.5)

If Aaron Rodgers and the Packers (4-7-1) come out and light the Falcons (4-8) up, that won’t look good for Mike McCarthy. That said, this game has nothing intriguing about it save draft positioning.

Pick: Green Bay 24, Atlanta 20

Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs (-6.5)

The Chiefs (10-2) are a juggernaut offensively, but allowing 33 points to the Raiders has to be concerning. As for the Ravens (7-5), they’ll need to keep this a one-score game with Lamar Jackson under center. He’s not built to come from behind with those passing numbers.

Pick: Kansas City 29, Baltimore 23

Carolina Panthers (-1.5) at Cleveland Browns

The Panthers (6-6) looked like a top challenger to the Rams and Saints only a month ago. Now? They are headed for the offseason sooner than expected, while the Browns (4-7-1) try to bounce back from an ugly showing in Houston.

Pick: Cleveland 26, Carolina 24
