Upset Pick of the Week
Arizona Cardinals [6-6] at New York Giants [5-7]
TV: FOX
Thoughts: Both teams are going in opposite directions. The Cardinals have lost 3 straight games since the Miracle win in Week 10. The Giants have won 4 straight games after their 1-7 start. The Giants defense has dominated in the last 4 games allowing just 16.5 ppg. They are also taking care of the football. The Giants have turned the ball over just twice in the last 4 games. Kyler Murray hasn't been the same since injuring his shoulder in Week 11.
Upset: Giants win 17-14
Minnesota Vikings [6-6] at Tampa Bay Buccaneers [7-5]
TV: FOX
Thoughts: This is a must win game for the Buccaneers. They are 1-3 in their last 4 games. The Buccaneers have averaged 24.2 ppg, but are allowing 28.7 ppg in the last 4 games. Tom Brady has thrown 7 interceptions in the last 4 games. This team should get a defense they can move the ball on in the Vikings. The Vikings have allowed 27.4 ppg this season. Kirk Cousins has not been the same Quarter-Back on the road has he is at home. Kirk Cousins has thrown for 1,074 yards with just 6 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on the road this season.

Unwatchable Game of the Week

Prediction: Cowboys win 20-6
Marquee Sunday 4:00 PM ET/3:00 PM CT Game
Indianapolis Colts [8-4] at Las Vegas Raiders [7-5]
TV: CBS in Indiana, Bay Area and Nevada
Thoughts: This is a big game for both teams. The Raiders are 1-game behind the Colts for the final playoff spot. They barely beat a awful Jets team last week. The Colts struggled against a bad Texans team. The Colts get the edge in this game because they got more experience in big games than the Raiders do. Defense will make the difference in this game. The Colts are 5th in the NFL in total defense while the Raiders are 22nd.
Prediction: Colts win 35-21
Other Sunday 4:00 PM ET/3:00 PM CT Games
Lock Pick of the Week
New York Jets [0-12] at Seattle Seahawks [8-4]
TV: CBS in Pacific Northwest and New York City
Thoughts: The Jets blew their best chance at a win last week against the Raiders. The Seahawks got beat physically at home against the Giants. This is a must win game for the Seahawks. Their final 3 games are at the Washington Football Team, at home vs the Rams and at the 49ers. Russell Wilson has not played well in the last 2 games. This will be a get-right game for him and the Seahawks offense.
Blowout: Seahawks win 38-0
Green Bay Packers [9-3] at Detroit Lions [5-7]
TV: FOX
Prediction: Packers win 37-17
New Orleans Saints [10-2] at Philadelphia Eagles [3-8-1]
TV: FOX
Prediction: Saints win 28-10
Washington Football Team [5-7] at San Francisco 49ers [5-7] in Arizona
TV: FOX in Bay Area and DC Area
Thoughts: The 49ers desperately need a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Washington Football Team are coming off a big win against the Steelers. This will be a letdown game for the Washington Football Team. The 49ers playoff hopes will be gone if they lose this game. The Washington Football Team are 0-2 against the NFC West this season.
Prediction: 49ers win 24-21
Atlanta Falcons [4-8] at Los Angeles Chargers [3-9]
TV: FOX in Los Angeles and Georgia
Prediction: Chargers win 28-17
Sunday Night Football
Pittsburgh Steelers [11-1] at Buffalo Bills [9-3]
TV: NBC
Time: 8:20 PM ET/7:20 PM CT
Thoughts: The Steelers have been in chaos because of COVID-19. This is their 2nd short week after playing on Wednesday Afternoon against the Ravens in Week 12 and Monday Night against the Washington Football Team last week. They face a Bills team playing their best football right now. The Bills are 5-1 in their last 6 games. They are averaging 29.5 ppg while allowing 23 ppg in the last 6 games. The Bills are a Hail-Mary play against way from a 6-game winning streak.
Prediction: Bills win 20-13
Monday Night Football
Baltimore Ravens [7-5] at Cleveland Browns [9-3]
TV: ESPN
Time: 8:15 PM ET/7:15 PM CT
Thoughts: The Browns got embarrassed in Week 1 by the Ravens and haven't forgotten it. The Ravens got a much needed win against the Cowboys on Tuesday Night. These are two different teams from last year and from Week 1. The Browns are the team that has been consistent while the Ravens have been inconsistent all year. The Browns have won 4 straight games while the Ravens are 1-3 in their last 4 games.
Prediction: Browns win 29-26
