Houston & CJ Stroud are a great story, but so is Cleveland & Joe Flacco. Give me the Browns (-1.5) 24-20
Miami at Kansas City
I really want to pick Miami, but with all their injuries it’s a hard pick to justify, add in historic cold and this could be all KC. Chiefs (-4) 24-6
Pittsburgh at Buffalo
The weather in Buffalo might actually help Pittsburgh keep this from being a rout, but Buffalo still wins. (Pit +9.5) Bills 20-12
Green Bay at Dallas
Green Bay has a real chance to pull an upset here, but I think Dallas finds a way to win. (GB +7) Cowboys 27-24
Los Angeles Rams at Detroit
I’m picking with my heart here, I want Jared Goff to stick it to Sean McVay & the Rams but LA is hot. I’ll take the Lions (-3) 28-24
Philadelphia at Tampa Bay
Why the NFL chose this matchup to be the Monday Night showcase, I’ll never know. Philly is the much more talented team, they’ll do enough to win. Eagles (-3) 24-17
SUPER BOWL PICK
San Francisco over Buffalo
I didn’t want to pick total chalk, though I do think Baltimore is the best team in the league, they have a tougher path. I think Buffalo & Cleveland are real threats to the Ravens. The 49ers, on the other hand, have no threats in the NFC. Book San Fran in the Super Bowl.
