8-4. CBS. Sunday, Dec. 13. 4:05 p.m. ET. 46. 7-5. 28. IND -2.5

A great game for the AFC playoff picture. If the Raiders win, they firmly move back into the fold. A loss and it could be curtains. For the Colts, getting a victory basically puts them into the playoffs barring a collapse. Who wins? Take the (much) better defense.

Pick: Indianapolis 28, Las Vegas 24

FOX. Sunday, Dec. 13. 4:05 p.m. ET. 0-12. 30. 8-4. 36. SEA -13.5

If you’re a Jets fan, just do something else more fun with your life. Play with your kids. Drink. Cut the grass with scissors. Clean the garage floor with a toothbrush. Anything.

Pick: Seattle 31, New York 13

4-8. FOX. Sunday, Dec. 13. 3-9. ATL -2.5. 44. 13. 4:25 p.m. ET

This is going to be fantastic. The Chargers and Falcons are two teams who love to get huge leads, blow them, and leave fans wondering what the hell happened. Now, they meet. Incredible comedic potential.

Pick: Los Angeles 31, Atlanta 30

49. FOX. Sunday, Dec. 13. 5-7. 9-3. 50. GB -7.5. 4:25 p.m. ET

This game smells of an upset. The Packers are clearly the better team with an MVP candidate at quarterback in Aaron Rodgers,  but the Lions are trying to show Matt Patricia was the one and only problem. Is motivation enough? Probably not, but could make it close.

Pick: Green Bay 27, Detroit 24

15. 3-8-1. 54. 4:25 p.m. ET. 10-2. FOX. Sunday, Dec. 13. NO -7

Jalen Hurts gets his first NFL start, and it comes against the best defense in football over the past month. Taysom Hill needs to avoid turnovers and New Orleans will have a 10th straight win.

Pick: New Orleans 26, Philadelphia 10

4:25 p.m. ET. 5-7. 58. SF -3.5. 5-7. 42. FOX. Sunday, Dec. 13

Whoever loses is finished. The Football Team is coming off a massive win in Pittsburgh. Can they go out west and handle business? Tough to do, but possible. Meanwhile, the Niners have to win if they want any hope of a wild card spot.

Pick: San Francisco 23, Washington 21

Sunday, Dec. 13. 9-3. EVEN. 8:20 p.m. ET. 55. NBC. 16. 11-1

Great, great game. Josh Allen played phenomenal ball against the 49ers in primetime, and now gets another spot under the lights. Buffalo would be 10-2 without the Hail Murray. The Bills, right now, are the better team. Pittsburgh is terrific, but the offense is a complete mess.

Pick: Buffalo 24, Pittsburgh 19

9-3. 53. EVEN. 7-5. 26. ESPN. Monday, Dec. 14. 8:15 p.m. ET

If the Ravens win, look out. They play the Jaguars, Giants and Bengals over the last three weeks. They will run the table and be scary in the postseason. Cleveland is good enough to knock the Ravens off, but is the desperation there? Should be an awesome tilt.

Pick: Baltimore 25, Cleveland 23

Last Week: 11-4
Season: 129-62-1
