(5-10) New Orleans Saints @ Tennessee Titans (3-12)

The Tennessee Titans managed to breeze past the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend, but they do still currently sit bottom of the AFC South! As it stands, The Titans are the third-worst team in the AFC! As for New Orleans, they made it 3-straight wins last time out when they thrashed the New York Jets, but they do still currently find themselves last in the NFC South! If the season ended today, The Saints would still be one of the weaker NFC sides! In the end, I’m picking The Saints to win again here! Both teams are on their best runs of the season right now, and I feel like New Orleans are going to keep that going!

 


(11-4) Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts (8-7)

The Indianapolis Colts’ season was all but ended with a loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Week 16’s Monday Night Football, and they currently sit third in the AFC South! As it stands, The Colts have just a 3% chance of making the Playoffs! As for Jacksonville, they picked up an incredible win in Denver last time out, and they currently lead the AFC South! If the season ended today, The Jaguars would take the AFC’s Number 3 seed! In the end, I’m picking The Jags to win this one! Even though Indianapolis are trying their best, Jacksonville are on a roll right now!

 


(7-8) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Miami Dolphins (6-9)

The Miami Dolphins got stuffed by the Cincinnati Bengals last weekend, and they currently sit third in the AFC East! As it stands, The Dolphins are already out of Playoff contention! As for Tampa Bay, they lost again last time out against the Carolina Panthers, and they currently find themselves second in the NFC South! If the season ended today, The Buccaneers wouldn’t make the Playoffs! In the end, Tampa Bay have to win this game, and I expect them to do so! Given how The Dolphins played last week, The Bucs are the favourites for a reason!

 


(12-3) New England Patriots @ New York Jets (3-12)

The New York Jets got stuffed 29-6 in New Orleans against The Saints last time out, and they currently sit last in the AFC East! As it stands, The Jets are set for a Top 6 Draft Pick! As for New England, they picked up a key victory over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday Night, and they currently lead the AFC East! If the season ended today, The Patriots would enter the Playoffs as the Number 2 seed! In the end, The Patriots should walk this! New England have a great opportunity to seal the AFC East Title over the next couple of weeks!

 


(2-13) New York Giants @ Las Vegas Raiders (2-13)

The two worst teams in the league face off as the New York Giants head to Las Vegas to take on The Raiders inside Allegiant Stadium! The Las Vegas Raiders lost for the 9th-straight game in Houston last weekend, and they currently sit bottom of the AFC West! As it stands, The Raiders have the worst record in the entire AFC! As for New York, they lost to the Minnesota Vikings last time out, and they currently find themselves last in the NFC East! If the season ended today, The Giants would be the worst team in the entire NFC! In the end, I will pick The Giants to win this game! I don’t really have a reason why, but I feel like Las Vegas want the Number 1 seed more (I have no reason as to why)!

 


(10-5) Philadelphia Eagles @ Buffalo Bills (11-4)

The Buffalo Bills host the Philadelphia Eagles in what could potentially end up being this year’s Super Bowl matchup! The Buffalo Bills just about managed to get over the line in Cleveland last weekend, and they currently sit second in the AFC East! As it stands, The Bills occupy the AFC’s Number 6 seed! As for Philadelphia, they beat the Washington Commanders last time out, and they’ve already sealed another NFC East Title! If the season ended today, The Eagles would enter the Playoffs as the Number 3 seed! In the end, I’ll pick Buffalo to win this game! I’m simply doing this based on home-field advantage, because I really don’t feel like there’s much between The Bills and The Eagles!

 


(11-4) Chicago Bears @ San Francisco 49ers (11-4)

Sunday Night Football is going to be a banger as the 11-4 San Francisco 49ers host the 11-4 Chicago Bears at Levi Stadium! The San Francisco 49ers crushed the Indianapolis Colts on Week 16’s Monday Night Football, and they currently sit second in the NFC West! As it stands, The 49ers occupy the NFC’s Number 5 seed! As for Chicago, they picked up a cracking win over the Green Bay Packers last time out, and they currently lead the NFC North! If the season ended today, The Bears would enter the Playoffs as the Number 2 seed! In the end, I will pick The 49ers over The Bears! Just like the previous game, this is firmly due to home-field advantage!

 


(11-4) Los Angeles Rams @ Atlanta Falcons (6-9)

The Atlanta Falcons picked up the win in Arizona last weekend, and they currently sit third in the NFC South! As it stands, The Falcons are already out of Playoff contention! As for LA, they suffered a tough 37-38 overtime loss in Seattle against The Seahawks in Week 16’s Thursday Night Football, and they currently find themselves third in the NFC West! If the season ended today, The Rams would enter the Playoffs as the NFC’s Number 6 seed! In the end, I expect the LA Rams to win this game! Despite losing last week, The Rams are still a very strong team, and I expect them to get the job done here!
