Arguably the most impactful game to the playoff picture. Whoever loses is on a three-game skid and drops a key tiebreaker. The winner, however, is in prime position for the stretch drive.
Pick: Cincinnati 31, Las Vegas 28
Best game of the week and a potential Super Bowl preview. With the Chiefs apparently back, the Cowboys get a tough draw. Expect points, great quarterback play and a raucous atmosphere.
Pick: Kansas City 30, Dallas 23
Does Kyler Murray play? Does Russell Wilson play like he needs more time off again? We’ll assume Murray plays and take the Cardinals on the road.
Pick: Arizona 27, Seattle 23
The Steelers have absolutely no offense, but the Chargers’ defense is horrific. Quite the titanic struggle. Ultimately, though, take Justin Herbert over Ben Roethlisberger/Mason Rudolph.
Pick: Los Angeles 23, Pittsburgh 19
If the Buccaneers lose a third straight with the opposing quarterbacks being Trevor Siemian, Taylor Heinicke and Daniel Jones, sound every alarm.
Pick: Tampa Bay 34, New York 24
Last Week: 8-5
Season: 89-60
