CBS. 3-6. 6-3. 59. Sunday, Nov. 22. 45. MIA -3. 4:05 p.m. ET

Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Jeff Driskel. What do they have in common? They’re all Broncos quarterbacks, and none of them are good. Tua Tagovailoa hasn’t been asked to do much through three games, and he won’t need to here, either.

Pick: Miami 20, Denver 16

Sunday, Nov. 22. 2-7. 13. LAC -8. 0-9. 30. CBS. 4:05 p.m. ET

Could this be the week? If any team is going to implode and hand the Jets their first win, the Chargers are a great bet. Still, only a damn fool is picking New York to actually beat someone until proven otherwise. Here comes 0-10.

Pick: Los Angeles 29, New York 17

Sunday, Nov. 22. 60. 4-5. MIN -9. 4:25 p.m. ET. 2-7. 123. FOX

Dallas is a complete disgrace, and while the Vikings are under .500, they’ve won three straight, the offense has real playmakers, and the defense has improved. Minnesota will win and suddenly, be I the playoff mix in the NFC.

Pick: Minnesota 31, Dallas 28

IND -2.5. 4:25 p.m. ET. Sunday, Nov. 22. 6-3. 49. FOX. 46. 7-2

Great, underrated game. Also interesting Vegas likes the Colts here. Green Bay has a great quarterback in Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams is otherworldly, but the defense stinks and the other passing weapons are poor. Is the Rodgers-Adams combo enough? Barely.

Pick: Green Bay 24, Indianapolis 23

124. NBC. Sunday, Nov. 22. 28. KC -6.5. 8:20 p.m. ET. 8-1. 6-3

This smells like an ass-kicking. Kansas City lost to the Raiders in Week 5, who then took victory laps around Arrowhead Stadium. Andy Reid let everyone know in his Monday presser he didn’t like it. Oh, and the Chiefs are off a bye, indoors, in primetime. Brutal, brutal spot for the Raiders.

Pick: Kansas City 44, Las Vegas 20

6-3. Monday, Nov. 23. TB -3.5. 8:15 p.m. ET. 51. ESPN. 7-3. 48

Toughest pick of the week. The Buccaneers are more talented, but the Rams’ defense is great and the offense is schemed wonderfully. This comes down to who gets more pressure on the opposition’s quarterback. Considering the Bucs have been awful in primetime, we go with Los Angeles.

Pick: Los Angeles 27, Tampa Bay 24

Last Week: 9-5
Season: 89-42-1
