KC -5.5. CBS. Sunday, Jan. 2. 9-6. 56. 1 p.m. ET. 11-4. 124

The Chiefs are trying to win a ninth-straight game, and while the Bengals are a formidable foe, the mismatch of Kansas City’s defensive front and Cincinnati’s offensive line is the game.

Pick: Kansas City 31, Cincinnati 23

54. 6-9. 58. PHI -3. 1 p.m. ET. FOX. Sunday, Jan. 2. 8-7

The Eagles are in the driver’s seat for a playoff spot, while Washington has completely fallen apart in recent weeks.

Pick: Philadelphia 22, Washington 20

51. FOX. Sunday, Jan. 2. 8-7. 26. 11-4. LAR -3.5. 1 p.m. ET

Can the Ravens keep Matthew Stafford from throwing for 600 yards? Tough to say. Baltimore’s only hope is Lamar Jackson going off.

Pick: Los Angeles 34, Baltimore 19

CBS. Sunday, Jan. 2. IND -6.5. 46. 1 p.m. ET. 8-7. 28. 9-6

The Raiders run the table, they make the playoffs. Unfortunately, the Colts are the better team, at home.

Pick: Indianapolis 27, Las Vegas 22

30. TB -13. 4-11. FOX. Sunday, Jan. 2. 1 p.m. ET. 11-4. 48

This could get uglier than me trying to deadlift 500 pounds. Jets fans should really do something more enjoyable with their time, like go to the DMV.

Pick: Tampa Bay 36, New York 10

9-6. BUF -14.5. 1 p.m. ET. 16. 7-8. 44. FOX. Sunday, Jan. 2

Atlanta might be the worst 7-8 team in NFL history, and the Bills are trying to keep their hammerlock on the AFC East. This won’t be close.

Pick: Buffalo 35, Atlanta 17

2-13. 52. Sunday, Jan. 2. 47. CBS. 9-6. NE -15.5. 1 p.m. ET

It’s not all his fault, but has any mega-prospect had a more disappointing rookie season than Trevor Lawrence in recent memory? Just a brutal campaign.

Pick: New England 23, Jacksonville 9

10-5. 8-7. CBS. Sunday, Jan. 2. 35. TEN -3.5. 1 p.m. ET. 59

The Dolphins have won seven straight but almost exclusively beaten horrific teams. Can they handle the Titans in Tennessee, who are looking to clinch the AFC South? Big ask.

Pick: Tennessee 23, Miami 16

31. CBS. 5-10. 57. CHI -6. 4-11. Sunday, Jan. 2. 1 p.m. ET

Holy hell turn the channel.

Pick: Chicago 24, New York 17
