New York Giants (-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (Thursday, 8:25 p.m. ET)
I'm still not convinced that the defense can continue to play this well or that the Giants can keep on winning with such a nonexistent run game, but hey, I'll take it!
The pick: Giants -3
Washington Redskins (-4) at Chicago Bears (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Matt Barkley is the best former USC quarterback currently in the NFL, but the Bears lose this one.
The pick: Washington -4
Miami Dolphins (+4) at Buffalo Bills (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Matt Moore went from backup to AFC Offensive Player of the Week (against the Jets), but I like Miami with or without Ryan Tannehill.
The pick: Dolphins +4
Atlanta Falcons (-3) at Carolina Panthers (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Sneaky fun game! The Panthers may not be in the playoff picture, but they'll do everything in their power to shake it up. That means a win here.
The pick: Panthers -3
Minnesota Vikings (+7) at Green Bay Packers (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
The Packers haven't lost since Aaron Rodgers said they were going to run the table.
The pick: Packers -7
New York Jets (+16.5) at New England Patriots (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
This is a ridiculously high line and the Patriots will cover it easily.
The pick: Pats -16.5
Tennessee Titans (-5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
Gus Bradley had to fly back on the team plane after learning he'd been fired, which is cruel even for a coach that went 14-48. Blake Bortles, meanwhile, won't be benched but should.
The pick: Titans -5
San Diego Chargers (-6) at Cleveland Browns (Saturday, 1:00 p.m. ET)
The Browns will not win this game.
The pick: Chargers -6
Indianapolis Colts (+3.5) at Oakland Raiders (Saturday, 4:05 p.m. ET)
Upset of the week: Colts win outright!
The pick: Colts +3.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) at New Orleans Saints (Saturday, 4:25 p.m. ET)
I'm rooting for Tampa to win the NFC South, just because they never do, but I'm worried about their run game. Luckily, the Saints have a terrible defense.
The pick: Bucs +3
San Francisco 49ers (+4) at Los Angeles Rams (Saturday, 4:25 p.m. ET)
The 49ers winning their second game of the season will be a true Christmas Eve miracle.
The pick: 49ers +4
Arizona Cardinals (+8.5) at Seattle Seahawks (Saturday, 4:25 p.m. ET)
The Seahawks win but the Cards keep it close.
The pick: Cardinals +8.5
Cincinnati Bengals (+1) at Houston Texans (Saturday, 8:25 p.m. ET)
All aboard the Tom Savage bandwagon!
The Pick: Bengals +1
Baltimore Ravens (+5.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, 4:30 p.m. ET)
Game of the Week!
The pick: Ravens +5.5
Denver Broncos (+3.5) at Kansas City Chiefs (Sunday, 8:30 p.m. ET)
Trevor Siemian is not the problem! He actually has better numbers than Peyton Manning did last season, so it's unfair to blame him for the team's offensive woes. A better place to look would be the run game. CJ Anderson's injury has been just brutal.
The pick: Chiefs -3.5
Detroit Lions (+7.5) at Dallas Cowboys (Monday, 8:30 p.m. ET)
The Lions are going to miss the playoffs.
The pick: Cowboys -7.5
