NEW YORK JETS
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
The Jets' players have little to play for other than proving to the front office and head coach Aaron Glenn that they have a role for 2026 and beyond. For the organization, there's the temptation to try and get a higher draft pick.
BUFFALO BILLS
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Buffalo still has a shot at the AFC East title. But it would require a Patriots collapse for it to happen. The Pats have three games remaining after hosting the Bills. Two will be against prospective playoff teams, the Ravens and Dolphins. Those games sandwich a trip East to play...the Jets.
BALTIMORE RAVENS
CINCINNATI BENGALS
The Ravens and Bengals clash for the second time in the last 3 weeks on Sunday. Baltimore lost the first matchup but desperately needs to win this one after falling to the Steelers last week.
ATLANTA FALCONS
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
In Week 6, the Falcons beat the Bills 24-14 and were sitting at 3-2. Since then, they have lost 7 of 8. The Seahawks manhandled them in Week 14, a non-competitive 37-9 loss.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
Even as the Eagles have lost two straight to fall to 8-4, they remain in a good position to win the NFC East and possibly defend their Super Bowl championship.
HOUSTON TEXANS
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
After an 0-3 start, the Texans looked like they were in serious trouble, particularly with the Colts and Jaguars getting off to solid starts. However, since then, Houston has won 7 of 9 to get back into contention for the AFC South title.
LOS ANGELES RAMS
ARIZONA CARDINALS
LA was riding high as a consensus favorite for the Super Bowl when they traveled to play the upstart Panthers in Week 13. They had the #1 seed in the NFC. But after a 31-28 loss coupled with the Bears upsetting the Eagles, Chicago took over the top seed.
DENVER BRONCOS
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
The only question about the Broncos as they sit at 10-2 with a nine-game winning streak is the perception of luck or barely squeaking by in just about every game, some against bad teams.
CHICAGO BEARS
GREEN BAY PACKERS
One of the games on Sunday's NFL slate features the Green Bay Packers hosting the Chicago Bears. Who has the edge in our Packers vs Bears pick?
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
BALTIMORE RAVENS
The Steelers' season could go either way in the next few weeks, and with that, their entire future could be radically changed.
CINCINNATI BENGALS
BUFFALO BILLS
The Bengals and Bills meet this week in what is now a signature AFC rivalry. Cincinnati took a major step forward last week but essentially needs to win out to have a chance at the playoffs.
TENNESSEE TITANS
CLEVELAND BROWNS
The Titans and Browns meet this week in a clash between the AFC's cellar. Both are most likely thinking more about the next NFL Draft than winning, but will still hope their rookie QBs improve.
