Dallas Cowboys @ Chicago Bears
Both these teams struggled Thanksgiving Day. Dallas has the upper hand and needs to win to keep pace with the Eagles in the NFC East. Chicago is in need of a revamped offense. The Bears hope to play spoiler. Expect a victory from the Cowboys.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals
Neither of these teams have been playing well lately. The Bengals hold a lead in the AFC North and hope to extend their lead with a win. The Steelers defense continues to struggle and needs to win to stay alive in the tight AFC Playoff race. Expect a close game with the Bengals coming away victorious.
St. Louis Rams @ Washington Redskins
The Rams might be the best team that doesn’t make the playoffs this year. They have pulled off some impressive victories this season. Washington meanwhile has been inconsistent all year. They have tried three different quarterbacks and all have failed. Expect the Rams to continue their improved season with a win in Washington.
New York Giants @ Tennessee Titans
The Giants went from bad to worse Sunday when they blew a big lead to the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. Expect this game to be when the Giants finally get over the hump and get a victory. Both teams are on long losing streaks. One team’s losing streak will end; expect it to be the Giants.
Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints
Carolina has fallen this year after a good 2013 season. They can’t seem to get anything going. New Orleans is still in the hunt for a playoff spot, despite being under .500 on the season. Expect the Saints to make a push toward the playoffs. Anything can happen come playoff time.
New York Jets @ Minnesota Vikings
This game is sure to be sloppy. The Vikings should win easy in New York with rookie Teddy Bridgewater under center. The Jets are having a bad season and can only wait for it to be over.
Baltimore Ravens @ Miami Dolphins
Both these teams are in the hunt for a playoff spot in the AFC. They are both on the outside looking in and will most likely need to win out to make the playoffs. Expect a very close game with the surprising Dolphins coming away with the victory
Indianapolis Colts @ Cleveland Browns
Cleveland hasn’t been playing well the last few weeks and may change quarterbacks as a result. Andrew Luck for the Colts continues to show why he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The Colts have the best passing offense in the NFL. Expect the Colts to go into Cleveland and shut down the Browns.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Detroit Lions
Detroit is in the midst of a division battle with the Packers. They trail the Packers by one game. The Lions can’t overlook this game or the Bucs will win. The 2-10 Bucs can only hope and pull off the upset in this game.
Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
The Texans are still very much alive in the AFC Playoff race. They will need to win the rest of their games and jump a few teams to do that though. Expect Houston to go into Jacksonville and take down the Jaguars. Jacksonville has played many teams close this year and could knock out the Texans.
Buffalo Bills @ Denver Broncos
While Buffalo has been very much improved this season, they don’t have what it takes to keep pace with Denver’s offense. The Broncos have slim lead in the division and for a first round bye in the AFC. Expect the Broncos to win big at home.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals are the best team in the NFC on paper, but have faltered the last few weeks. Kansas City is coming off two losses and needs a win to hold on to their playoff spot. Arizona is not the same team without injured quarterback Carson Palmer. Expect a close game in Arizona.
