ATLANTA FALCONS
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
It's not an exaggeration to say that if the Falcons continue their downward trajectory that head coach Raheem Morris and his staff and perhaps GM Terry Fontenot could be in trouble.
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
TENNESSEE TITANS
LA was a trendy Super Bowl pick after starting the season 3-0. Their opening week win over the Chiefs in Brazil was particularly impressive. They followed that up with victories over the Raiders and Broncos. However, consecutive losses to the Giants and Commanders, a struggle to get past the Dolphins, and a beating at the Colts' hands led to questions, especially about QB Justin Herbert and their injury-plagued defense.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
NEW YORK GIANTS
The 49ers and Giants meet this week in a battle of banged-up teams. Both have lost several key players and are making the most of what they have. The 49ers enter as marginal road favorites.
BALTIMORE RAVENS
MIAMI DOLPHINS
The Ravens and Dolphins face off this week in a key battle. Both entered the season as playoff hopefuls before a brutal 1-5 start. After impressive wins last week, they seek to build momentum.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS
DETROIT LIONS
Given how invested the Vikings are in J.J. McCarthy, it's unlikely that backup Carson Wentz could have wrested the job from him no matter what Wentz did. But Minnesota was 2-3 with Wentz, and the veteran was mediocre at best with 6 TD passes, 5 interceptions, and an 85.8 passer rating.
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Washington and Kansas City face off this week. The Commanders enter this matchup as the underdogs by a large margin. They'll aim to overcome their troubles against the surging Chiefs.
TENNESSEE TITANS
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
The Titans and Colts face off in a divisional clash this week. Tennessee is struggling with a 1-6 record and faces a brutal task to take on the 6-1 Colts in Indianapolis. They are heavy underdogs.
CHICAGO BEARS
BALTIMORE RAVENS
One of the games on Sunday's NFL slate features the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Chicago Bears. Who has the edge in our Ravens vs Bears pick?
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
The Buccaneers and Saints face off this week in a divisional clash. Both teams are seeking bounce back wins after losing last week. Tampa Bay is favored on the road as the division leaders.
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
HOUSTON TEXANS
The 49ers and Texans face off this week in a key bout. Houston has improved lately, but faces an uphill climb to return to contention. They face a challenge again this week, hosting the 5-2 49ers.
GREEN BAY PACKERS
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
In the afterglow of the Packers acquiring Micah Parsons from the Cowboys and their impressive wins in Weeks 1 and 2 over 2024 playoff teams, the Lions and Commanders, Green Bay was a hot Super Bowl pick.
DALLAS COWBOYS
DENVER BRONCOS
The Cowboys' Week 7 shellacking of the Commanders, 44-22, was the third game this season in which they scored 40+ points. Ironically, their positives and negatives came to the forefront in those games. They nearly lost to the Giants, winning 40-37, and they tied with the Packers, 40-40.
