Baltimore (4-4) 26, Cleveland (0-9) 19
The AFC South has been getting a lot of grief in the past few seasons, but it's currently the AFC North that hosts four teams at .500 or worse. The Ravens will change that with a win over the pathetic Cleveland Browns.
Sunday, November 13
Kansas City (6-2) 24, Carolina (3-5) 23
The outlook for Carolina is significantly less bleak than it was two or three weeks ago. The Panthers have a long road ahead if they're trying to get back to the playoffs this year, though.
Denver (6-3) 27, New Orleans (4-4) 24
The Broncos will rebound easily from the Monday night loss in Oakland by picking up a crucial road victory in the Superdome.
Los Angeles (3-5) 21, Jets (3-6) 20
The Rams' slide will stop, but that doesn't mean Fisher should keep sticking with Case Keenum. Speaking of quarterback controversies, the Jets desperately need their week 13 bye - which, by the way, is ridiculously late in the season, #ThanksGoodell - to figure out what they're doing with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Green Bay (4-4) 26, Tennessee (4-5) 24
The Packers *must* find some semblance of rhythm. It might not come with a one-score win over the notedly improved Titans.
Philadelphia (4-4) 27, Atlanta (6-3) 26
The Eagles desperately need to get on track if they have any hope of staying competitive in a division whose worst team is .500, and best team is the 7-1 Cowboys. An upset win over the Falcons could give Philly just the momentum boost it needs to jumpstart the second half of the season.
Minnesota (5-3) 21, Washington (4-3-1) 20
When the Redskins win the week before an election, the incumbent party wins on Tuesday. When the Redskins lose, the opposition party wins. When the Redskins are on a bye the week after tying in London, Donald Trump happens. #ThanksGoodell.
Houston (5-3) 21, Jacksonville (2-6) 20
I'm not saying the AFC South is bad; I'm saying a one-point win by the division's best team over the division's worst is highly probable.
Chicago (2-6) 24, Tampa Bay (3-5) 23
Throughout the first half of the season, I was calling the Buccaneers a surprise playoff contender. Now I'm saying they'll lose at home to two-win Chicago. Funny ol' world, ain't it?
San Diego (4-5) 26, Miami (4-4) 24
The Chargers, who - thanks in large part to Jacksonville - have been outscoring opponents on average despite holding a losing record, will finally hit that .500 mark they've been craving all season.
Arizona (3-4-1) 27, San Francisco (1-7) 19
Apparently Colin Kaepernick neither voted in this year's election, nor cared about the result. I'm no expert, but I think to be a political activist you actually have to take part in the political process. Otherwise you are a whiny, overpaid douchebag who is barely good enough to play quarterback at the top professional level.
Dallas (7-1) 24, Pittsburgh (4-4) 20
A win at Heinz Field already doubles the Cowboys' 2015 win total with almost an entire half of a season left to play. What a difference a couple of draft picks sometimes makes.
New England (7-1) 23, Seattle (5-2-1) 19
If it's a goal-to-go situation late and the game is close, Pete Carroll won't even think about throwing. Belichick knows this and will stop the run, making the Patriots victorious over Seattle yet again.
Monday, November 14
Giants (5-3) 23, Cincinnati (3-4-1) 21
Don't look now, but Eli(te) Manning and the Giants are starting to make a serious playoff push under first-year head coach Ben McAdoo. We'll call this one the Return of the Mac. Maybe.
