Tennessee Titans (8-3) at New England Patriots (7-4)
Lines NE -7 // O/U 43.5
Vince: Patriots

Patrick: Patriots
Nick: Patriots
A few weeks ago the Titans took out the Rams on primetime without Derrick Henry and seemingly cemented themselves as a true contender in the AFC. This week they're coming off a massive upset against the Texans at home and are heading into Foxborough as 7 point dogs. The NFL comes at you fast. Their rush attempts are down significantly since King Henry has been out of the lineup and Tannehill is now without his two top targets AJ Brown & Julio Jones. The Patriots have by far surpassed expectations this season as they find themselves in a position to hold sole possession of first place in the AFC East this weekend. Mac Jones has been facilitating the offense to perfection with New England currently riding a 5 game winning streak. Their defense is allowing just 10 points per game during this streak.
Los Angeles Rams (7-3) at Green Bay Packers (8-3)
Lines LAR -1 // O/U 47
Vince: Rams
James: Packers
Maher: Rams
Zach: Packers
Ryan: Rams
Patrick: Packers
Nick: Packers
Two probable playoff teams are linking up in Lambo this Sunday as the freshly rested Rams take on Green Bay. The last time we saw Los Angeles they took a devastating 31-7 loss to their division rival 49ers. Matt Stafford had his name thrown around the MVP ring before their last couple outings, throwing for 2 TD’s and 4 INT’S. The Rams are in big need of a legit win. Darnell Savage had a seemingly game sealing interception that was overturned, causing the Packers to lose a heartbreaker against the Vikings last week. We’re expecting cold/windy weather in Green Bay, something that shouldn’t faze either Aaron Rodgers or Matt Stafford.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3) at Indianapolis Colts (6-5)
Lines TB -3 // O/U 53.5
Vince: Colts
James: Colts
Maher: Bucs -3
Zach: Bucs -3
Ryan: Bucs
Patrick: Bucs
Nick: Colts
Tampa Bay is still left without star receiver Antonio Brown due to an ankle injury. Good thing Tom Brady has no shortage of weapons. Tampa Bay by far has one of the deepest receiver rooms in the game. Their D-Line has been a brick wall thus far allowing just 78 rush yards per game, 10 less than any other team in the game. Speaking of running game, Indy is ready to fire up the top rusher in the league Jonathon Taylor after his 5 TD game last week. The Colts are on a heater, winning 3 straight, including a 41-15 beatdown on the Buffalo Bills. This has game of the week potential and is a must watch this weekend.
Seattle Seahawks (3-7) vs Washington Football Team (4-6)
Lines EVEN // O/U 46.5
Vince: WFT
James: Seahawks
Maher: Seahawks
Zach: WFT
Ryan: Seahawks
Patrick: WFT
Nick: Seahawks
The Seahawks are on high alert this week as a loss on the road to the WFT could completely derail any hopes they have of making a postseason run. They’ve lost 5 out of their 6 last games, showcasing a struggling offense. Russell Wilson has performed with his back against the wall before and you have to expect Seattle to be playing angry this week. Washington has stormed back into the playoff race with two straight wins against tough opponents. After a big Cowboys loss this Thursday, Washington could pull within two games of the NFC East crown. Taylor Heinicke has impressed in back to back weeks with a 77% completion percentage and 4 TD’s to 0 INT’s.
Cleveland Browns (6-5) vs Baltimore Ravens (7-3)
Lines BAL -3 // O/U 47
Vince: Ravens -3
James: Ravens -3
Maher: Browns
Zach: Ravens
Ryan: Ravens -3
Patrick: Ravens -3
Nick: Ravens -3
Cleveland is not where anyone expected them to be but still find themselves in a position to make a playoff run. They have a great defensive unit that has really carried a struggling offense this season. Key injuries at running back have consistently thrown off Stefanskis plan week by week but when Nick Chubb is on they can hang with any team in the league. The Ravens have MVP caliber QB Lamar Jackson back this week and are likely to have most of the receiving core on the field as well. With one of the more difficult remaining schedules, Baltimore needs a win at home this week to move up to 8-3 and help solidify their playoff chances. Despite the endless carousel at the RB position Baltimore is still 3rd best in the league in rushing offense.
