determining who comes out on top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Plenty had their doubts about the Chiefs earlier in the year, but on the back of six straight wins, there\u2019s no question Kansas City is a major Super Bowl contender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Chargers, on the other hand, have strung together back-to-back wins over the Bengals and Giants, largely due to a couple of MVP-like performances from Justin Herbert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Los Angeles won a 30-24 thriller when these two sides got together back in Week 3, but a lot has changed since then, especially regarding the Chiefs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Kansas City\u2019s defence has suddenly reverted back to its old ways, holding the Cowboys, Broncos, and Raiders to exactly nine points over the last three weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Defence should be what decides this game, and I do have a few queries on the Chargers \u2013 a team that currently ranks sixth in average points allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Kansas City has also gone 7-1 against the spread in its last eight games in Los Angeles, so I like the Chiefs to pull away late and cover.<\/span><\/p>\n                    <div class=\"tip-button\">\n          <a class=\"track-me btn-standard

Browns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At 6-7, Vegas is basically playing for its season following last week\u2019s annihilation by the Chiefs, a game that quickly got out of hand as Kansas City piled on 48 points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Things are also just as urgent for the 7-6 Browns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cleveland could potentially take over the third Wild Card seed if results go their way, but based on last week\u2019s close call against the half-strength Ravens, it\u2019s tough to feel confident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Betting on this game is equally as difficult, but the trends do paint a compelling picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Total has gone Under in five of the last seven meetings between these two teams, and based on the fact both have scored 20 points or less in three of their last four games, I\u2019m backing that trend to continue.<\/span><\/p>\n                    <div class=\"tip-button\">\n          <a class=\"track-me btn-standard bet-now-btn\"

of the last three decades and this one is no exception.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">New England currently occupies the top seed in the AFC based on conference win percentage, a number they can boost with a win over the 7-6 Colts on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Patriots made it seven wins in a row two weeks ago over the Bills and now return from the bye looking to add to their momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Colts, meanwhile, have quietly entered the playoff fray with four wins from their last five games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In similar fashion, Indy returns from the bye following a 31-0 shutout over the Texans and surprisingly find themselves as minor favourites this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Really, this game could swing either way, but the Colts do look a good bet if Jonathan Taylor can take full advantage of New England\u2019s questionable run defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since 2015, the Colts have played to an outstanding 5-1 record following the bye, so I\u2019m happy to side with the bookies on this occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n                    <div class=\"tip-button\">\n          <a class=\"track-me btn-standard bet-now-btn\"

to improve significantly on last week\u2019s close shave against Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Dallas came close to surrendering a 27-8 lead in the fourth quarter as Dak Prescott threw a crucial pick six with only minutes remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Cowboys held on in the end, but head coach Mike McCarthy knows his side still has a lot to work on in time for the playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fortunately, Dallas has a chance to hone its skills against the hapless Giants this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Big Blue has lost three of its last five games, while the Giants won\u2019t hold particularly fond memories of the Cowboys after losing 44-20 in Dallas back in October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Cowboys have covered the line in seven of their last nine games against New York, and I think they\u2019ll add to that record based on the Giants\u2019 defensive numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Joe Judge\u2019s side ranks Top 10 in passing and rushing yards allowed, a recipe for disaster against the

Jacksonville.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Despite both teams boasting a 2-11 record, the Jaguars are technically the second-worst team in the league right now based on winning percentage behind Detroit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That hasn\u2019t stopped the bookies from favouring Jacksonville in the market, but there is a bit to like about the Texans following a decent first half in last week\u2019s loss to Seattle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Statistically, Houston is one of the worst offensive teams in the league, but Davis Mills has still shown enough so far to suggest he can score against a bad defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Texans have also held Jacksonville\u2019s number in recent years winning seven straight dating back to 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These two teams are also averaging less than 15 points a game, so I\u2019m happy to multi a Texans win with

14.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The 36-28 defeat has left the Steelers on the outside of the playoff picture looking in at 6-6-1, and things aren\u2019t about to get any easier with the Titans in town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tennessee snapped a two-game skid last week against Jacksonville with a shutout victory, but the Titans also have a point to prove with the offence struggling for points in recent weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Steelers have won each of their last three meetings against Tennessee, however, the injury report suggests the Titans might be the side to bet on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Not only is star wide receiver A.J. Brown a chance at returning this week, but the Steelers might also be down key pass rusher T.J. Watt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Pittsburgh defence gave up large chunks of yards last week, and I don\u2019t think Najee Harris will have things all his own way against a

class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Miami extended its winning streak to five with a 20-9 victory over the Jets prior to last week\u2019s bye, and they\u2019ll now head home in search of a clean sweep over the state of New York on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Jets have proven a handful at times this year, but their loss last week to the Saints summed up their struggles this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Zach Wilson was sacked three times and threw for only 200 yards in the loss, while the defence also gave up close to 350 yards to the Saints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To make matters worse, Elijah Moore remains on the injured list for the Jets, leaving Wilson short on one of his top targets for another week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After Tua Tagovailoa and Miles Gaskin had their own way against the Jets less than a month ago, I\u2019m with the Dolphins to beat up on one of

if the 6-7 Eagles cause an upset at home on Monday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Philly returns to the Linc on the back of a double-digit beatdown over the Giants last week, while Washington is still wondering what could have been after a close call against the Cowboys. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Starting quarterback Taylor Heinecke suffered a knee injury in the loss to Dallas and remains questionable to play at time of publish. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Heinecke\u2019s status will go a long way to determining Washington\u2019s chances in this one, especially after Kyle Allen struggled under pressure in his absence last week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately, things aren\u2019t about to get any against a Philly pass rush that has dominated for most of the season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To make matters worse, the Eagles have also found their mojo on the ground, averaging close to 160 rushing yards a game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These two sides are set to face each other twice over the next month, but with WFT battered and bruised,

lost that game, but they should have no problem bouncing back against a Lions side that basically has one hand on the No. 1 overall pick in next year\u2019s Draft. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Head coach Kliff Kingsbury needs to make sure his side doesn\u2019t overlook Detroit, but this should still be a comfortable win for the Cards all things considering. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Star running back Chase Edmonds is a good chance at returning, and he should enjoy a feast alongside James Conner against a Lions defence that is giving up over 130

<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Buffalo erased a 21-point deficit to force overtime against the defending champs, only for some sloppy blown coverage to cost them a win on a basic Tom Brady pass to Breshad Perriman. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Back-to-back losses now has the Bills sitting on the fringe of the Wild Card picture at 7-6, but they do have a chance to regain some ground against a down-and-out Panthers team that is suddenly giving up large chunks of points. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Cam Newton experiment quickly went down in flames last week in another turnover-filled performance, while there\u2019s even more concerns on offence with D.J. Moore a chance to miss this game due to a hamstring injury. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Really, this is basically \u2018win or go home\u2019 for the Panthers as far as their Wild Card chances are concerned, but with the defence giving up 25 points or more in each of its last three games, it\u2019s hard to imagine them stopping Josh Allen for four quarters. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cincinnati\u2019s confidence may have taken a hit in the overtime loss to San Francisco, but this is still a winnable road game if the offensive line can not only protect Joe Burrow, but also set up some much-needed running lanes for Joe Mixon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately, all of that has been easier said than done in recent weeks, and it\u2019s only about to get harder against Denver\u2019s top-notch pass rush. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Speaking of the ground game, the Broncos will also be looking to stick with what worked last week against Detroit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Denver ran it down the throat of the Lions for 184 total yards, and if they can replicate that performance and pressure Burrow, this one might work out in their favour.<\/span><\/p>\n                    <div class=\"tip-button\">\n          <a class=\"track-me btn-standard

the Falcons might be joining them with an upset on Monday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At 6-7, Atlanta sits just one game out of the NFC Wild Card bubble, a scenario none of us thought possible when the Falcons were shut out by the Patriots only a month ago. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Two cheap wins over the Jaguars and Panthers has helped Atlanta\u2019s cause, but this is a much tougher test against a genuine, and very dangerous, playoff contender. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The last two battles between these sides have gone in favour of the Falcons, but based on how average the two defences have looked this year, backing a high-scoring game might be the way to go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Falcons have given up the fourth-most yards in the league so far, while San Francisco has given up 21 points or more in each of its last three games. <\/span><\/p>\n<p

         <div class=\"bet-on\">Tip: Back the Packers to Cover the Line <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n              <\/div> <!-- end tip-header-meta -->\n    <\/div> <!-- end tip-header -->\n    <div class='tip-content'>\n            <p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There hasn\u2019t been this much talk about a toe since the Rex Ryan scandal emerged back in 2010. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Aaron Rodgers\u2019 injury isn\u2019t season-ending just yet, but No. 12 did say after last week\u2019s win over the Bears that it feels much worse. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Toe talk aside, this is an extremely important game as far as both sides are concerned. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Packers can lock up the NFC North with a win, while the Ravens can potentially regain the top seed in the AFC if results go their way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Unfortunately, the potential absence of Lamar Jackson makes this a tough game to bet on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There\u2019s no market as I type, but even so, I still feel good about the Packers picking up a vital road win regardless of who\u2019s under center for Baltimore. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rodgers at 85% is still better than the majority of the quarterbacks in the league, especially against a Ravens secondary that is giving up over 250 yards a game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Packers will need to ensure they avoid sloppy special teams errors &#8211; particularly against a special teams savant like Jim Harbaugh &#8211; but with the offence firing and the defence still forcing turnovers, Green Bay is the team to bet on here. <\/span><\/p>\n

South, and I\u2019m backing them to do just that on Sunday Night Football. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tampa Bay should have a real point to prove after nearly blowing a three-touchdown lead last week to the Bills, while New Orleans\u2019 performance during the second half of the season also suggests this one might get out of hand. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Saints are still in the playoff race, but they\u2019ve been doing it tough with Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian under centre. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A win over the awful Jets was enough to keep their heads above water, but the fact remains the same: the Saints are still struggling mightily to defend the pass. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Tom Brady is in MVP-like form right now and is yet to have a game where he throws more interceptions than touchdowns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Defensively, the Saints are setup to stop Leonard Fournette on the ground, but with the Bucs boasting one of the best receiving duos in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, I think the damage will be done in the air.

<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At 6-7, the Vikes are currently one win away from jumping back into a Wild Card seed, but this game is far from a given based on the scare Chicago gave Green Bay last week. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Bears rallied to lead the Packers at halftime, largely due to some big-time special teams play and a few clutch throws from Justin Fields. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Head coach Matt Nagy did a fantastic job dealing up creative play calls on offence, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we see more of the same against a Vikings defence that has struggled all year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These two sides will play each other twice over the next month, but it\u2019s worth noting the Bears have had the better of this fixture with four wins from their past five meetings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Neither team fills me with confidence, but if Chicago\u2019s stingy secondary can take full advantage of Adam Thielen\u2019s absence and limit Kirk Cousins downfield, I think the Bears go close. <\/span><\/p>\n                    <div
