You like the fancy new matchup graphic! FanSided doesn’t play around. Alright, the Buccaneers and Bears are both 3-1, but not all records are created equal. Tampa Bay has the best quarterback ever. Chicago has Nick Foles. Look for the Bucs to blitz all night, forcing a few turnovers.
Pick: Tampa Bay 26, Chicago 16
The Cardinals have lost their last two games, falling to the Lions and Panthers. This is an absolute must-win against Joe Flacco and the Jets. New York gets a flailing Arizona team coming across the country for the second consecutive time, but this is still the Jets.
Pick: Arizona 31, New York 19
A battle of undefeated teams, if it happen. The Titans are racked with COVID, and so there’s a huge, looming cloud. Under normal circumstances, I’d love Tennessee at home, but this isn’t normal. The Bills don’t have the distractions, the lack of practice time and so forth. Plus, Josh Allen is rolling.
Pick: Buffalo 29, Tennessee 17
Expect a ton of points, even with Julio Jones likely out. Atlanta and Carolina both have high-octane offenses, and each has a quarterback playing well. The Falcons are desperate to win while Carolina is trying for a third straight. This comes down to who makes a huge mistake, or an incredible play late.
Pick: Atlanta 38, Carolina 33
