New York Jets (6-3) @ New England Patriots (5-4)

Lines: NE -3.5 / O/U 38.5

Is this finally the week? The Jets have been seeking their first win against the Patriots since 2015, an unimaginable 13 game losing streak. Jets fans are feisty with a 6-3 record, believing Zach Wilson is ready to give them a legit playoff run. While I wouldn’t go anywhere near that far I do believe Robert Saleh is a legit coach of the year candidate and he has built a tough defense. This just feels like the same game we see every year where Belichick picks up some momentum and begins his ascent up the standings. If the Jets think they can play in January they’re going to need to get this monkey off their back first.

Dallas Cowboys (6-3) @ Minnesota Vikings (8-1)

Lines: DAL -1.5 / O/U 48.5

The Cowboys being road favorites against an 8-1 team seems so disrespectful, especially after a monster Vikings win on the road against Vegas’s favorite to win the Super Bowl. Tony Pollard has been an absolute powerhouse since the Ezekial Elliot injury and I think the entire world is excited to see the RB rotation if Zeke does come back this week. On the other side Justin Jefferson has been a man amongst boys since stepping foot in the league, he has an NFL record 20 100+ yard games through his first 3 seasons. This game is going to come down to stops on 3rd down, where both teams rank in the top 10 of the league.

Los Angeles Rams (3-6) @ New Orleans Saints (3-7)

Lines: NO -3 / O/U 39

What a fall from grace we’ve seen in Los Angeles this year. The odds on favorite to win the NFC West at the beginning of the year is currently sitting in last place with their star WR Cooper Kupp on IR. Howie Roseman really should be sending New Orleans a thank you card as the Eagles control their very likely top 10 pick in next year's draft. The Saints struck me as playoff dark horses and have been massively disappointing. Dennis Allen’s days might be numbered, especially if he sticks with Andy Dalton as QB1. The Saints clearly need to establish the run, they sit at just 71.0 yards a game on the ground through their last three.

Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) @ Los Angeles Chargers (5-4)

Lines: KC -5.5 / O/U 51.5

These two faced off in week 2 on primetime in a very entertaining game ending with a 27-24 victory for the AFC West favorite Chiefs. Justin Herbert and Patrick Mahomes sharing the field means fireworks are incoming as these two are some of the top arm talents in the league. One of them is likely getting his top two weapons back. The other is missing 2 of his top 4 targets on the road. I think at this point we all believe Mahomes and Kelce can compete against any team regardless of who else is in the receiving corps. The Chargers need to bounce back in a big way and it starts with their defense making forcing mistakes and stopping the run.

Vince: KC -5.5

Maher: Over 51.5

Ryan: KC -5.5

Patrick: U51.5

Nick: KC -5.5

James: Over 51.5

Zach: Over 51.5

San Francisco 49ers (5-4) @ Arizona Cardinals (4-6)

Lines: SF -8 / O/U 43.5

The rare neutral site game makes its way to Monday Night in Mexico as these two NFC West rivals face off at Estadio Azteca. The Cardinals have a ton of pending injuries heading into this must win game. We haven’t received word on whether or not it will be Kyler Murray or Colt McCoy, but 49er’s fans know all too well that either can hand them a L. All week we’ve heard about the top offensive YAC (Yards after catch) facing off against the worst YAC defense, this one might just come down to containing a running QB and if Jimmy can get the ball to his playmakers. Have to expect close to a combined 60 rushing plays in Mexico on Monday Night.

Vince: Cardinals +8

Maher: Over 43.5

Ryan: Over 43.5

Patrick: U43.5

Nick: Cardinals +8

James: 49ers -8

Zach: 49ers -8
