<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here we are in the final week of the 2024-25 NFL Season.  And what a season this has been.  In other news, the Chiefs are here again.  This Chiefs team wasn&#8217;t super talented, but somehow found a way to make it to the big dance.  Let&#8217;s dive into this matchup between the two teams vying for the Lombardi Trophy.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let&#8217;s be real, this Eagles team from top to bottom is far superior to the Chiefs. There is no glaring weaknesses that I can see at every position. But all of that doesn&#8217;t matter when your down to one game, where you just have to play well for 60 minutes. Obviously the Eagles will try to run Barkley as much as they can, after all he&#8217;s the most dynamic player on the field. The key in this game will be if the Chiefs defense can somehow contain him. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other teams have tried but it&#8217;s a very tall task. The Eagles aren&#8217;t a drop back and passing team which the Chiefs defense plays well against. The Eagles also don&#8217;t beat themselves as <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HurtJa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-02-07_pfr">Jalen Hurts</a> has thrown minimal interceptions this year. I don&#8217;t believe his knee is 100%, but that&#8217;s ok as he showed he&#8217;s still capable of winning. On the other side of the ball, the Chiefs may struggle against that aggressive Eagles defense. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Mahomes magic may run out, unless they come up with creative ways to move the ball. If the Eagles are smart, they will come after Mahomes early and often, hoping they can get turnovers and make his life hectic. The Eagles defense needs to concentrate on a few things. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1. Keep Mahomes in the pocket and not let him scramble and 2. Harass Kelce however they can because he&#8217;s their #1 target. I have reason to believe Eagles will make a few mistakes this game in the &#8220;spotlight&#8221;. They will do things that haven&#8217;t normally done when there&#8217;s a little pressure. Can they Chiefs capitalize on those opportunities? Those are they keys for both teams on Sunday. With all that said, I&#8217;m going <strong>Chiefs 30-27</strong> on a <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/ButkHa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-02-07_pfr">Harrison Butker</a> field goal with .15 seconds left.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&#8217;re down to the last four teams of the 2024-25 NFL season.  Some teams that were expected to be here are here, and some unexpected, like the Commanders have made it.  Should be a great slate of games, lets break down each team and who we think we&#8217;ll win.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Commanders at Eagles:</strong> A true NFC East battle as the Commanders travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. This game has so many storylines to include Will <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaniJa02.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-26_pfr">Jayden Daniels</a> be the first rookie to make the Super Bowl? Let&#8217;s break down this matchup and what should happen for each of these teams to win. On paper, the Eagles are the more superior team but that doesn&#8217;t always mean much. The Commanders split the series with them and have the most recent victory about a month ago. I expect the Eagles defense to be a little tighter than last matchup. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the last matchup, they were without Gardner-Johnson for much of the second half and this made a difference. I expect <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CartJa05.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-26_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jalen Carter</a> to be a force to be reckoned with, especially with our starting guard out for the season. The Eagles should and probably will emulate what the Cowboys did and other teams to stop Jayden Daniels. If I were them, I would blitz and try to not let him escape the pocket. Easier said than done, but that should be their game plan. For the Commanders, stick to what has been working and that is giving the ball to Ertz, Ekeler, McClaurin and <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RobiBr01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-26_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Brian Robinson</a>. They must run the ball with both Brob and Jayden to control the time of possession, and keep the Eagles and Saquon off the field. The Commanders must eliminate and mistakes but minimizing turnovers and try to get one or two takeaways like they got against the Lions. If given a short field, they must convert those into touchdowns. <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HurtJa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-26_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jalen Hurts</a>&#8216; mobility will be limited so the Commanders need to concentrate on Barkley and getting pressure on Hurts. Look for the Eagles to do a lot of quick slants and quick passes. Their hope is for Barkley to rush for over 150 yards and hopefully break through with two long runs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This game should be close, Jayden Daniels is too talented and smart to not keep up with the Eagles. His decision making is like a ten year veteran and not a rookie. Could this game come down to who has the ball last? If that&#8217;s the case, I love Daniels to finish that drive. Defenses should be flying around today, which is why it will be a relatively low scoring game. <strong>Commanders 27 Eagles 24.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bills at Chiefs:</strong> Will the Chiefs continue there quest for a third straight championship? It will be tough as the Buffalo Bills come into town. I believe this will be the Chief&#8217;s toughest AFC Championship. <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=AlleJo02,AlleJo00&amp;search=Josh+Allen&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-26_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Josh Allen</a> has been playing an elite level, and they want to make the Super Bowl so bad like no other year. The Chiefs have been their nemesis and this year they play a team that is talented but not near as talented as other years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chiefs seem to turn a switch on when the playoffs hurt and this year is no different. They need to rely on their defense like other years and slow down Josh Allen. This means blitzing at will and not letting Allen pass when the play breaks down. That is where he is the most dangerous. On the offensive side of the ball they need to run the ball, dump it to Kelce and just play smart. The Chiefs are elite at not making mistakes, playing good defense and forcing the other team to make mistakes because of the pressure. This game just like the NFC Championship will be close with Bills prevailing by a field goal. We will see a rematch of the Bills Washington Super bowl in 1992! <strong>Bills 30 Chiefs 27.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And then there were 8.  We have a lot of good matchups this week, Will there be any upsets?  All of this remains to be seen as we get ready for the Divisional Round.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Texans at Chiefs:</strong> Do the Texans have a chance in this game? Of course they do, with that lethal pass rush and <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MixoJo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-17_pfr">Joe Mixon</a> at running back. The problem is who there playing on the other side of the ball. The Chiefs know how to win in all the big games, and this game is no different. The Texans have injuries on both sides of the ball, while the Chiefs are well rested and healthy. Look for the Chiefs defense to cause havoc on <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/StroCJ00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-17_pfr">C.J. Stroud</a>. They always seem to come alive in the playoffs. I like the Chiefs in this one. <strong>Chiefs 27 Texans 17.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Commanders at Lions:</strong> <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaniJa02.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-17_pfr">Jayden Daniels</a> has been something special this year for the Washington Commanders. The impact he has had on this team is unbelievable. He has poise, talent and all the other intangibles your looking for in a starting quarterback. Why can&#8217;t he lead this team to a huge upset victory against the Lions? Well, he can but the Commanders have to do a few things to accomplish this. First, they have to control the time of possession. Keep that lethal Lions offense off the field. So how do you do that? Well you run the ball with all your runners to include <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RobiBr01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-17_pfr">Brian Robinson</a>, <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/EkelAu00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-17_pfr">Austin Ekeler</a> and of course Daniels. Also you can throw a bunch of short passes and just methodically move the ball down the field. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Commanders ability to extend drives by going for it on fourth down is a huge factor in this game. Once they extend these drives, they must capitalize and score touchdowns and not field goals. On the defensive side of the ball, they need to get at least one takeaway. Last week, they got that on Baker&#8217;s fumble to the receiver. That must happen and when it does capitalize on that. They need a flawless game with the Lions not playing their best. With all of that said, I like the Commanders with the ball on the last drive, driving down the field and scoring the game winning field goal. This is all they know the past six games. <strong>Washington 34 Lions 31 </strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rams at Eagles:</strong> The Rams experienced what no team should ever have to go through. The wild fires rolled through last week causing extreme devastation. I can see the Rams rallying around the victims and playing for them this week. In addition, the Rams have been playing very well. They got healthy and appear to be clicking on all cylinders. As good as the offense has been, it&#8217;s their defense that has stepped up the past several weeks. That right there is why I&#8217;m picking them this week. Look, the pressure is on the Eagles this week. There at home, there expected to make it to the Super Bowl with all the talent they have. <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HurtJa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-17_pfr">Jalen Hurts</a> hasn&#8217;t been lighting it up the past few games which might be OK considering they have great receivers and a top running back. This game will also be close with the Rams prevailing. <strong>Rams 30 Eagles 27.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ravens at Bills:</strong> This is my favorite matchup of the weekend as the Ravens travel to Buffalo. This matchup is very intriguing as both teams and quarterbacks desperately want to get over the hump and get one step closer to the Super Bowl. In the first matchup, the Bills didn&#8217;t play well losing to the Ravens 35-10. This game will be different as the Bills will have a plan for both Henry and Lamar. These are public enemies 1 and 2. You can say the pressure is on both teams this week, which will add to the intrigue of this game. Buffalo&#8217;s plan on offense should be utilizing Cook as much as possible, and also utilizing Allen&#8217;s legs and the off schedule throws. I like an OT victory for the Bills on an opening possession touchdown. <strong>Bills 37 Ravens 31.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>WILD CARD ROUND RECORD</strong>:<strong> 4-2</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here we are, the playoffs!!  The best 14 teams have survived and made it to the big dance.  Who will win the big game, Will we see any upsets?  Which teams have concerns heading into the playoffs.  Here&#8217;s my analysis of the first round of the NFL Playoffs.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chargers at Texans:</strong> Pretty amazing Harbaugh has taken the Chargers to the playoffs in his first year! He has this team believing and has a good team to make a run.  The issue with the Chargers is the ability to put up big numbers.  They play a little like Michigan when Harbaugh coached them.  That style of football will be good enough to win against the Texans, but as they move along it might become more difficult.  The lack of weapons on the offensive side of the ball might be their nemesis. Even though the Texans are at home I think they lose by at least 3.  <strong>Chargers 24 Texans 20.</strong> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Steelers at Ravens:</strong>  Here we go again, the Steelers vs the Ravens.  Two teams that hate each other and know each other very well.  In my eyes, these two teams are heading in two different directions.  The Ravens with Derek Henry are playing at a very high level while the Steelers have lost four straight and are limping into the playoffs.  Has <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WilsRu00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr">Russell Wilson</a> lost his magic?  There has been talks this week that they play <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FielJu00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr">Justin Fields</a> too to keep the defense on their heels.  They need to do something and pull out the tricks, because the Ravens will be very tough to beat at home.  I like the Ravens by 10.  <strong>Ravens 31 Steelers 21.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Broncos at Bills:</strong>  Is anyone giving the Broncos a chance?  They have a chance but it will be very very tough for so many reasons.  One, a rookie QB playing an away game.  Two, the Bills are more hungry than ever as they have been so close so many times.  Three, <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=AlleJo02,AlleJo00&amp;search=Josh+Allen&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr">Josh Allen</a> has a solid RB to take the pressure off him in these big games.  Denver has a solid team with a proven coach in <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PaytSe20.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr">Sean Payton</a>, but they got a tough draw playing the Bills, first round in Buffalo.  In order to win this game, they need to get Josh Allen to turn the ball over and create a short field.  Once they get the short field, they need to score touchdowns, not field goals.  If possible, get the lead where Buffalo is playing from behind and pressing.  That will be tough, but very possible.  In the playoffs anything can happen, and we see that year in and year out.  With all that said, I like the Bills in a lower scoring game.  <strong>Bills 27 Broncos 20.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Packers at Eagles:</strong> Did the Eagles get who they wanted to play? I&#8217;m not sure about that. Did they want another crack at the Commanders or a Packers team who has a great running back, good QB and a solid coach. This game is all determined on the quarterback position. If <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HurtJa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jalen Hurts</a> plays, I think the Eagles take this game. The Eagles are too talented on both sides of the ball to say they won&#8217;t win this game. The Packers are all contingent upon <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JacoJo01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Josh Jacobs</a> and his ability to run successfully. The loss of <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WatsCh00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Christian Watson</a> is big, but they still have <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/ReedJa03.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jayden Reed</a> along with other key players like <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KrafTu00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tucker Kraft</a>. The Packers have to establish the run and get Eagles to make mistakes. It looks like as of now Jalen will play which is why I will pick the Eagles in a shootout. <strong>Eagles 37 Packers 33.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Commanders at Bucs:</strong> Is <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaniJa02.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jayden Daniels</a> fun to watch or what? He has led this team to so many close victories this year, you forget he&#8217;s only a rookie. A few reason for concern if your a Commanders fan. The defense has struggled this year with both the run and pass. Tampa&#8217;s strength is their offense where they have <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/I/IrviBu00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bucky Irving</a> as well as top notch receivers. Baker has put up over 4000 yards this year without <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GodwCh00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Chris Godwin</a>. On the offensive side of the ball, Jayden has struggled at time against the blitz. The blitz is something Tampa loves to do with mixing up different looks. So this game will be a challenge for them. For Tampa, can they handle the elusiveness of Jayden Daniels? You can have a plan for him but easier said than done. He&#8217;s too fast for defensive lineman and corners and safeties are too busy in coverage. Before you know it, he just ran for ten yards before you make contact with him. We will see a different game than Game 1 when these two teams played each other. Jayden has got way better, more mature and he understands defenses better. The Commanders know what they have to do to slow the Tampa offense down, it&#8217;s just a matter of if they can execute. If the Commanders can get over 100 yards rushing between their RB&#8217;s and Jayden, they should win this game. I can definitely see this game going down to the last play. I like the Commanders away. <strong>Commanders 30 Tampa 27.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Vikings at Rams: </strong>Prayers for all the families of the wildfires in California! What happened to the Vikings against the Lions? Did the real <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DarnSa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Sam Darnold</a> stand up? I don&#8217;t think so. I think they ran into a buzzsaw at Detroit, against a fired up Lions team. You will see a different team this week with Darnold playing a lot better. The Rams have a lot of weapons on both sides, but I think the Vikings winning 14 games this week is no fluke. When they get <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=JoneAa00,JoneAa20&amp;search=Aaron+Jones&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Aaron Jones</a> going with TJ Hockenson catching balls and of course <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JeffJu00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-09_pfr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Justin Jefferson</a>, there hard to beat. On the defensive side of the ball, this unit is led by Defensive Coordinator, Brian Flores. What Flores has down with this team is pretty remarkable. This is where they will win this game. Their ability to get pressure on Stafford, get sacks, and a few turnovers is the reason they win this game. I&#8217;ll take the Vikings away. <strong>Vikings 34 Rams 31.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>LAST WEEKS RECORD: 10-6</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Browns at Ravens:</strong>  Ravens have a lot to play for this weekend.  A win and they win the AFC North.  The Browns on the other hand have nothing to play for.  Ravens win big 34-10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bengals at Steelers:</strong> This game is intriguing as the Steelers have a lot to play for as do the Bengals.  I&#8217;ve said this before but the Bengals are the best team based on their mediocre record. I&#8217;ll go with the Bengals on this one as they are battling for that last playoff spot. Bengals 27-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Texans at Titans</strong>&#8211; The Texans are currently in the 4th seed and it appears they could play the Steelers in Round 1. The Titans have had a disappointing season and are looking ahead to next year.  I&#8217;ll take the Texans in this one, 24-14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Panthers at Falcons</strong>&#8211; The Falcons still have a chance to make the playoffs with a win over the Panthers and a Bucs loss.  It is very possible considering how well Penix has played.  I feel like the Falcons had their chance last week after a near loss to the Commanders.  Falcons 27 Panthers 14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Saints at Bucs</strong>&#8211; The Bucs need this win to capture the NFC South crown.  It shouldn&#8217;t be too hard against the Saints who have battled injuries all year.  With how the Bucs offense has been playing they should easily secure this win.  Bucs 34 Saints 17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bills at Patriots</strong>&#8211; The Bills feel like this is their year.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=AlleJo02,AlleJo00&amp;search=Josh+Allen&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-04_pfr">Josh Allen</a> is playing at an elite level and they are playing well in all three phases.  The playoffs are a different beast, but I feel like their ready to conquer the AFC.  Bills win this one big, 38-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jaguars at Colts</strong>&#8211; Colts win this game based off the fact they have <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TaylJo02.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-04_pfr">Jonathan Taylor</a>.  Colts 31-13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Commanders at Cowboys</strong>&#8211;  Who starts at QB for the Cowboys this week?  They have nothing to play for, but they are playing the Commanders who are trying to win and stay in the 6th spot.  I expect the Commanders to get the run game going and win this one.  It will be close like a 20-17 or a 23-20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Giants at Eagles</strong>&#8211; The Eagles will be resting their starters this week as they have locked up the #2 seed. Even with that they should handle the Giants pretty easily as teh Giants are playing for that high draft pick.  Eagles 31 Giants 14. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bears at Packers</strong>&#8211; The Packers are currently in the #7 seed as they battle the Bears.  If the Commanders lose and they win they get the #6 seed and would play the #3 seed.  Either seed they get they will be a problem for many teams.  They have an excellent run game with a solid defense.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LoveJo03.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-04_pfr">Jordan Love</a> is also playing at a high level.  Packers win this one, 27-20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Seahawks at Rams</strong>&#8211;  The Seahawks have been eliminated and the Rams are in the playoffs.  The Rams after everybody got healthy are playing at a very high level.  If the season ended today they would have the Commanders in round 1 of the playoffs.  The Rams are a scary team with a solid run game, very good receivers and a defense that is coming along. They win this game in a close one, Rams 27 Seahawks 24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dolphins at Jets</strong>&#8211;  The Jets probably can&#8217;t wait to end this tumultuous year.  Their defense, who battled injuries wasn&#8217;t what they thought it would be.  Rodgers played ok along with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AdamDa01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-04_pfr">Davante Adams</a>, but the rest of team struggled.  The Dolphins still have an outside chance to get in which is why they should beat the Jets pretty convincingly this week.  Phins 28 Jets 14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chiefs at Broncos</strong>&#8211; The Chiefs will be resting their starters as the Broncos are holding strong to the #7 seed.  Due to the fact that the Chiefs have already locked up the #1 seed, Broncos win this one to finish off a great first year for <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NixxBo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-04_pfr">Bo Nix</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chargers at Raiders</strong>&#8211; The Raiders are playing for a high draft pick while the Chargers are in the #6 seed.  The Chargers are a scary team come playoff team.  Chargers 24-13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>49ers at Cards</strong>&#8211; The 49ers have had a rough year as have the Cards. The 49ers could go into the offseason with a win but I expect the Cards to squeak out this one.  Cards 21-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Vikings at Lions</strong>&#8211; The Game of the Week, The loser gets the #5 seed in the NFC which is crazy.  The Vikings have been playing at an exceptinal level with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DarnSa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-01-04_pfr">Sam Darnold</a>.  The Lions have battle injuires but are still playing well.  I think the Vikings win this one but that doesn&#8217;t mean the Lions won&#8217;t do any damage in the playoffs.  Vikings 36 Lions 31.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>LAST WEEKS RECORD: 11-5</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chiefs at Steelers</strong>&#8211; There are a lot of intriguing storylines in this one.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PickGe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">George Pickens</a> is back which will be huge for the Steelers.  The Chiefs can clinch a first round bye and get the #1 seed with a win.  The Chiefs have heard all this year how there not that good and there barely beating teams.  Well today is another chance to show who they are.  It will be tough though against the Steelers stingy D.  The Steelers need to get their running game going, so there not so one dimensional with Pickens and the other WR&#8217;s.  They also have a lot to play for including the division.  This will be a good one, I&#8217;m going Chiefs 30-27 in overtime.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ravens at Texans</strong>&#8211; The Texans lost a huge player last week and <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DellNa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Tank Dell</a>.  This is a big loss, so how do the Texans bounce back.  This will be a tough challenge for them espeically after the Ravens got a huge win against the Steelers.  The Texans have <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MixoJo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Joe Mixon</a> who will provide a challenge for the Ravens D.  If they neutralize him they should be ok.  This will be another great game on Christmas Day.  Texans 34 Ravens 31.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Seahawks at Bears</strong>&#8211; The Bears season has been disapointing to say the least.  Seattle is still fighitng for a playoffs spot.  They get <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WalkKe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Kenneth Walker</a> back today which will be a key addition.  Seahawks 27 Bears 20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chargers at Patriots</strong>&#8211; The Pats played the Bills tough last week which showed the Chargers there not giving up.  The Chargers are trying to make the playoffs.  Chargers 28-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Broncos at Bengals</strong>&#8211; Can the Broncos tough D stop <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BurrJo01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Joe Burrow</a> and the high flying Bengals?  They need this game to stay in the playoff hunt and the Bengals can play spoilers.  I like the Bengals by 3, 27-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Cardinals at Rams</strong>&#8211; The Cardinals have been officially eliminated from the playoffs while the Rams are leading their division.  A healthy Rams team is dangerous as they win big today, Rams 30 Cards 17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Falcons at Commanders</strong>&#8211; <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PeniMi00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Michael Penix</a> came in last week and provided a huge boost to this Atlanta team.  It was the defense though that stepped up in a huge way against the Giants.  Their d is in for a stiffer test this week against the Commanders.  When the Commanders offense is clicking there a hard team to beat but they have to get their running game going.  If not, defenses will hone in on Jaylen passing and if the play breaks down running.  This will be a close one as both teams have a lot to play for.  In the end, the Commanders squeak out in a close battle.  Commanders 27 Falcons 21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jets at Bills</strong>&#8211; The Bills still have a chance to get the #1 seed but it will be tough.  The Jets who have been eliminated are playing for pride now.  Playing in Buffalo will be tough, expect Buffalo to look more dominant than they did last week.  Bills 34 Jets 21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Titans at Jaguars</strong>&#8211; Two teams that have had disappointing years.  They both have the same records and are looking to get that high draft pick.  In the end, the Titans win this one, 20-13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Panthers at Buccaneers-</strong> The Bucs still have a lot to play for this week as they battle the Panthers.  Look for them to be dominant in all three phases.  Bucs 30 Panthers 14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Raiders at Saints</strong>&#8211; The Saints have been hampered with injuries all year.  The Raiders are playing for a high draft pick in particular a QB.  The Saints win this one.  24-13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Cowboys at Eagles-</strong> The big question here is if <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HurtJa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Jalen Hurts</a> will play let alone <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PickKe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Kenny Pickett</a>.  The Cowboys, although eliminated are still fighting each game to win.  In the end, if Pickett plays I believe the Cowboys win.  Final score 24-23.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Colts at Giants-</strong> The Giants have already given up.  Colts 21 Giants 10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dolphins at Browns</strong>&#8211;  The Dolphins still have slim playoff hopes.  They win prety easily this week.  28-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Packers at Vikings</strong>&#8211; This could be the game of the week.  Is there anybody as hot as the Packers right now.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JacoJo01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Josh Jacobs</a> is playing at a very high level along with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LoveJo03.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-25_pfr">Jordan Love</a>.  The Vikings are also playing very well led by their stingy defense.  This will be a great show and in the end the Vikings eek out a win by 3.  Vikings 31 Packers 28.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Lions at 49ers</strong>&#8211; The Lions would love that #1 spot as they play the 49ers.  The 49ers have had a very tough year after making the Super Bowl last year.  They can play spoilers this week but unfortunately don&#8217;t have enough firepower.  Lions 27 49ers 21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>LAST WEEKS RECORD</strong>&#8211; 14-2</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Texans at Chiefs</strong>&#8211; Will Mahomes play?  If he does, is that smart? or should they just keep him healthy before the playoffs.  We know the defense isn&#8217;t hurt for the Chiefs.  They will win this one at home 28-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Steelers at Ravens</strong>&#8211;  A lot of good games this week including this AFC North battle.  Not having Pickens is a big deal for the Steelers.  He&#8217;s their playmaker on offense.  Baltimore will look for revenge this week at home.  I see them winning by more than one td.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Giants at Falcons</strong>&#8211; One team is fighting for that #1 draft pick and one has a new QB looking to provide a spark to the Falcons offense.  The Falcons should win this pretty handily.  Falcons 24 Giants 13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Lions at Bears</strong>&#8211; The Bears have lost 8 straight games while the Lions are vying for that #1 spot in the NFC and a first round bye.  Even though the Lions are banged up they win this one.  Lions 27 Bears 14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Browns at Bengals</strong>&#8211; What a disappointing year for the Bengals.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BurrJo01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-20_pfr">Joe Burrow</a> has played very good while the rest of the team, in particular the defense, has struggled. The Browns have been battling injuries among other things this year.  Bengals win at home 28-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Titans at Colts</strong>&#8211; The Titans are banged up while the Colts have been looking sharp with Richardson.  Colts 21-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rams at Jets</strong>&#8211; The Jets won&#8217;t continue their winning ways this week against the Rams who have been playing well.  The Rams are fighting for the playoffs and should win.  Rams 28-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Eagles at Commanders</strong>&#8211; The Eagles are playing lights out this year and have talent on all three levels.  The Commanders are in a solid position to make the playoffs but are battling some injuries on the offensive side of the ball. Having <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LattMa01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-20_pfr">Marshon Lattimore</a> is key in this game as he will be marked up against AJ Brown.  The Eagles should run the ball to have success in this game and the Commanders know that.  The Commanders need to get a takeaway or two to win this game and keep the Eagles high flying offense off the field.  I like the Commanders in this one, but there will be a rematch in the playoffs if they get the #7 seed and the Eagles get the #2 seed. Commanders 20-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Cards at Panthers</strong>&#8211; The Cards are the better team been though the Panthers have been playing well of late.  Look for Connor, Murray and Harrison to go off.  Cards 34-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Vikings at Seahawks</strong>&#8211; The Vikings are riding high on their awesome year.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DarnSa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-20_pfr">Sam Darnold</a> has overachieved and their defense is playing great.  Vikings win a big one in Seattle, 31-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Pats at Bills</strong>&#8211; Two teams heading in different directions.  The Bills are also fighting for that #1 seed which could deem huge for Buffalo.  The last thing Buffalo wants to do is go to Kansas City.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jaguars at Raiders</strong>&#8211; Raiders 27-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>49ers at Dolphins</strong>&#8211; It&#8217;s been a rough year for the 49ers on all levels.  Two 6-8 squads with slim playoff hopes.  The Dolphins are tough at home.  Phins 24-23.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bucs at Cowboys</strong>&#8211; The Cowboys are hanging on to slim playoff hopes and have been playing well meanwhile the Bucs are also playing well.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=EvanMi00,EvanMi20,EvanMi21&amp;search=Mike+Evans&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-20_pfr">Mike Evans</a> is on a tear and Mayfield is looking good too.  Bucs 27-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Saints at Packers</strong>&#8211; The Saints have battle injuries this year in particular their QB.  They played well in the second half against the Commanders but against the Packers will struggle.  Packers 34-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LAST WEEKS RECORD: 9-7</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Commanders at Saints</strong>&#8211;  The Commanders play a New Orleans team without their starting QB after he broke his hand last week.  The Commanders are rested and ready for this Saints team.  Expect a double digit victory which will be nothing new to this team.  Commanders 38-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rams at 49ers-</strong>  The Rams are red hot and healthy.  The 49ers have had a rough year after their Super Bowl appearance.  With that said, I like the 49ers in this one by 3.  49ers 27-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ravens at Giants</strong>&#8211;  One team playing for the Shadeur Sanders and the other with Super Bowl aspirations.  Ravens win big 41-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jets at Jags</strong>&#8211; Two teams with rough years.  No one thought the Rodgers led Jets would be this bad.  In this one they win by 10.  Jets 24-14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Cowboys at Panthers</strong>&#8211; Cowboys lost a heartbreaker last week on a special teams mistake.  The Panthers have been playing well lately and almost beat the Eagles last week.  The Cowboys will lose this one and their playoff hopes.  Panthers 27-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bengals at Titans</strong>&#8211;  The high flying Bengals finally won.   They have slim playoff hopes but play a vulnerable Titans team.  Bengals put up 30 again, 31-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chiefs at Browns</strong>&#8211; The Chiefs have snuck by with wins on many occasions this year. There is questions on whether this team is deserving of their record.  The Browns have showed flashes of brilliance this year.  In this game, the Chiefs silence the doubters and win by 13.  Chiefs 31-18.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dolphins at Texans</strong>&#8211; The Texans have been up and down this year while the Dolphins with Tua have had some success.  I think Miami will prove to be too much for the Texans in Houston.  Dolphins 30-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Colts at Broncos</strong>-The Broncos are holding on to that playoff spot in the AFC.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PaytSe20.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-12_pfr">Sean Payton</a> has done a tremendous job this year with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NixxBo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-12_pfr">Bo Nix</a>.  In this game, the Colts D will be tough but the Broncos have enough weapons to overcome that.  Broncos 24 Colts 13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Patriots at Cards</strong>&#8211;  The Cards are fighting for that NFC playoff spot while the Pats are looking towards which draft position they&#8217;ll be in.  Look for Connor to have a huge game in this one.  Cards 27 Pats 17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bills at Lions-</strong> The game of the week and potential Super Bowl preview.  The Lions defense has been decimated by injuries this year.  The Bills need to establish <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=CookJa01,CookJa20&amp;search=James+Cook&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-12_pfr">James Cook</a> and he needs to have a big game.  The Bills can&#8217;t just sit back and pass all game.  I like the Lions by 3. 31-28.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bucs at Chargers</strong>&#8211;  The Chargers lost to KC last week on a last second field goal. They are still a strong team who is coached well.  The Chargers defense will keep Mayfield in check.  Chargers 27 Bucs 23.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Steelers at Eagles-</strong> Another potentail Super Bowl matchup as the Steelers travel to Philly in the Battle of PA.  Are the Eagles in shambles with their passing game?  Maybe this is the get right game for them.  The Steelers will have to contain Saquon and force the Eagles to pass.  How do they do this?  They need to get up early and force the Eagles to change their game plan.  I&#8217;ll take the Steelers and Mike Tomlin, 28-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Packers at Seahawks</strong>&#8211;  The Seahawks defense has been above average this year as Green Bay travels to Seattle.  Both teams will look to establish the run game with some play action.  Seattle is always a tough place to play, so I&#8217;ll take the home team, Seattle 27 Packers 21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bears at Vikings</strong>&#8211; The Bears were playing so well and were 4-2.  Then they lost the Hail Mary game and things have gone out of control.  The Vikings will continue their winning ways with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DarnSa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-12_pfr">Sam Darnold</a> leading.  Vikings 31 Bears 24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Falcons at Raiders</strong>&#8211;  Both teams tail spinning this year with the Falcons still clinging on to playoff hopes.  I&#8217;ll take the Falcons, only because they have more to play for. 21-19.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LAST WEEKS RECORD: 9-4</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Packers at Lions</strong>&#8211; This is our Game of the Week as the Packers travel to Detroit to play the high flying Lions.  The Lions were one bad play away from losing their game against the Bears last week.  This team is beatable and do have weaknesses.  As I dive into this game, I look at who&#8217;s hotter right now.  To me this is the Packers.  There playing very well and would love more than anything to come  up to Detroit and steal one.  Jacobs needs to have a big game and <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LoveJo03.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-05_pfr">Jordan Love</a> has to be flawless with no turnovers.  I like the Packers in an upset, 31-27.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Saints at Giants</strong>&#8211; The Giants are playing for the first round draft pick and the Saints can still make the playoffs.  I&#8217;ll take the Saints 27-13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Browns at Steelers</strong>&#8211;  Revenge game perhaps!  The Steelers look mighty tough right now on both sides of the ball and there playing at home.  Steelers win big 30-17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Falcons at Vikings</strong>&#8211; There has been talk this week if Cousins would be benched for the rookie, Penix.  For now Cousins will play but how short is his leash.  I expect the better team to win this one.  Vikings 28-14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Raiders at Bucs</strong>&#8211; The Raiders are another team playing for that draft pick, in specific a QB.  Bucs win this one, 24-10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Panthers at Eagles</strong>&#8211; Two teams going in opposite directions.  Can anyone stop the Eagles right now?  This will be a blowout, 41-13.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jaguars at Titans</strong>&#8211; The Titans played one of their worse games last week against the Commanders.  Fortunately for them the play the really bad Jaguars.  Titans 27-7.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jets at Dolphins</strong>&#8211; What has happened to the Jets?  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RodgAa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-05_pfr">Aaron Rodgers</a> was supposed to be the savior.  They have him, <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HallBr03.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-05_pfr">Breece Hall</a> and <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AdamDa01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-05_pfr">Davante Adams</a> along with a solid defense.  But not this year and I don&#8217;t see things changing this week down in Miami.  Miami will prove to be too much.  Dolphins 27-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Seahawks at Cardinals</strong>&#8211;  The Cards are battling for first place against the streaky Seahawks.  The Cards have also been streaky and when will <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=HarrMa00,HarrMa09&amp;search=Marvin+Harrison&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-05_pfr">Marvin Harrison</a> come alive.  This is a tossup game for me and because it&#8217;s Arizona, I will take the home team.  Cards 27-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bills at Rams</strong>&#8211; The Reams are still in the playoff hunt but the Bills will be too much for them.  They can play in the snow, rain or sun.  Look for <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=AlleJo02,AlleJo00&amp;search=Josh+Allen&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-05_pfr">Josh Allen</a> to have a huge game.  34-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bears at 49ers</strong>&#8211;  The Bears have fired their coach and a lot of teams win that next game after this happens.  I expect them to win this one against the injury ridden 49ers.  24-20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chargers at Chiefs</strong>&#8211; Are right Chiefs prove the outsiders wrong?  You don&#8217;t get lucky each game and the refs are being fair with both teams.  This is a chance to silence the doubters and for the Chiefs to play a good opponent and win convincingly.  This will be very close and could be an OT game.  I&#8217;ll take the Chiefs 30-27.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bengals at Cowboys</strong>&#8211;  The Bengals have had one of the worse defenses in the league.  The Cowboys ,after two wins, are fighting for the playoffs with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RushCo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-12-05_pfr">Cooper Rush</a>.  I expect the better offense to win this one.  Bengals 28-21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LAST WEEKS RECORD: 14-2</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bears at Lions-  The Lions are on a tear right now, so can anybody stop them?  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WillCa03.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Caleb Williams</a> is playing better but the Lions will be too much for them.  Lions 34 Bears 17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Giants at Cowboys-  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LockDr00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Drew Lock</a> will be starting against the Cowboys who are coming off a big win at the Commanders.  Both teams have had rough years and I&#8217;ll take the home team today.  Cowboys 24 Giants 20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dolphins at Packers-  Can Tua win in the frozen tundra of Green Bay?  He can but not today.  Packers 28 Phins 24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Raiders at Chiefs- Chiefs, Chiefs, Chiefs.  Raiders have no hope today.  Chiefs 37 Raiders 10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Titans at Commanders-  The Commanders are struggling after three straight losses.  I think they bounce back in this one but will be close.  Commanders 23 Titans 17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Colts at Patriots-  The Colts have played well with Richardson at the helm.  They travel to New England and this one should be a low scoring game.  Colts 20 Pats 17.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Steelers at Bengals-  The Bengals are the best team out there with a losing record.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BurrJo01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Joe Burrow</a>&#8216;s td to int ration is extremely good but the defense has let them down this season.  Losing <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MixoJo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Joe Mixon</a> has proved to be costly.  This will be a tough game for the Steelers and I believe they lose in OT.  Bengals 34 Steelers 31.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chargers at Falcons- The Chargers are coming off a tough loss to the Ravens and now have to travel across the country to Atlanta.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarbJi00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Jim Harbaugh</a> won&#8217;t have them losing two in a row.  Chargers 27 Falcons 24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seahawks at Jets-  The Jets don&#8217;t have too much to play for and the <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RodgAa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Aaron Rodgers</a> project has proven to be underwhelming.  The Seahawks with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WalkKe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Kenneth Walker</a> will prove to be too much.  Seahawks 28 Jets 20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Texans at Jaguars-  The Jags have been a dissapointment this year with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PedeDo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Doug Pederson</a> on borrowed time as the coach.  The Texans will look to bounce back after a tough loss to the reeling Titans.  Texans 31 Jags 14.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cards at Vikings-  The Vikings will look to stay on track with <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DarnSa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Sam Darnold</a> and <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=JoneAa00,JoneAa20&amp;search=Aaron+Jones&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Aaron Jones</a> and their high powered offense.  Look for <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AddiJo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Jordan Addison</a> to have another big day!  Vikings 30 Cards 20.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bucs at Panthers-  The Panthers put a big fight last week against the mighty Chiefs.  This won&#8217;t be that close as the Bucs can put some big points led by <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MayfBa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Baker Mayfield</a>.  Bucs 34 Panthers 21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rams at Saints-  This one might be closer than people think as the Rams travel to New Orleans.  <a rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CarrDe02.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=profootballmania.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-28_pfr">Derek Carr</a> is back along with Kamara but the Rams still have a good team and are fighting to get that wild card.  I like the Rams by 3 in this one.  Rams 27 Saints 24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eagles at Ravens-  This is my game of the week and could prove to be a Super Bowl preview.  Both teams have the best running backs in the league along with other very good supporting players.  Both QB&#8217;s are playing at a high level and both coaches are calling great games.  In this game, the better coach will win.  Ravens 34 Eagles 31.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">49ers at Bills-  The 49ers have had a disappointing season with a multitude of injuries.  The Bills on the other hand are playing at a very high level.  I like the Bills especially in Buffalo.  Bills 28 49ers 21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Browns at Broncos-  The Broncos have overachieved this year and look to continue their winning trend this week against the Browns.  This game should be closer than you think but I&#8217;ll take the Broncos.  Broncos 24 Browns 21.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LAST WEEKS RECORD: 9-4</p>
