Arizona Cardinals vs. Miami Dolphins (-3)
The Miami Dolphins are expected to get their starting quarterback back for this matchup. That ultimately makes all the difference in a very winnable game.

Prediction: Miami 27, Arizona 22
New York Jets (-7) vs. New England Patriots
It's hard to have a ton of confidence in what the New England Patriots can offer right now. The same can be said for the Jets, but talent wins out here.

Prediction: New York Jets 24, New England 14
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5)
The Cincinnati Bengals are going streaking, and I don't envision this version of the Philadelphia Eagles being able to stop them.

Prediction: Cincinnati 27, Philadelphia 23
Green Bay Packers (-4.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Green Bay Packers are quietly going about their business in a crowded NFC North. That won't change here in a very winnable matchup on the road in Jacksonville.

Prediction: Green Bay 30, Jacksonville 23

Baltimore Ravens (-9.5) vs. Cleveland Browns
Even though the Browns should be getting better quarterback play here, the Ravens are a different beast and everything points to another double-digit blowout.

Prediction: Baltimore 27, Cleveland 14

Indianapolis Colts vs. Houston Texans (-5.5)
The Colts kept this matchup close against the Texans earlier this season. I expect it to be even tighter with the Texans top receiving weapon suiting up.

Prediction: Houston 26, Indianapolis 23
Tennessee Titans vs. Detroit Lions (-10.5)
It's certainly a big number here, but we're not about to doubt the Detroit Lions at home as a giant favorite vs. Tennessee.

Prediction: Detroit 30, Tennessee 15
New Orleans Saints vs. Los Angeles Chargers (-7.5)
The combination of this Saints offense going up against this Chargers defense on the road doesn't paint a very pretty picture for the visitors.

Prediction: Los Angeles Chargers 25, New Orleans 10
Buffalo Bills (-3) vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Bills likely deserve to be road favorites here, but this is a difficult environment to play in. I like how the Seahawks responded last week, and I think they do something similar here to Buffalo.

Prediction: Seattle 27, Buffalo 24
Carolina Panthers vs. Denver Broncos (-8.5)
It's hard to envision the Carolina Panthers finding a ton of offense in this clash with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos pull off another big victory at home and solidify their playoff standing.

Prediction: Denver 25, Carolina 10
Kansas City Chiefs (-9.5) vs. Las Vegas Raiders
It's hard to picture this version of the Las Vegas Raiders keeping this game relatively close against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Prediction: Kansas City 27, Las Vegas 15
New York Giants vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (-6.5)
This certainly might look like a trap game on paper. I still don't envision the Steelers letting the Giants hang around too long on Monday Night Football.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 23, New York Giants 10
