Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings

I have been critical of Matt Nagy and his playcalling but the Bears seem to have found something of late with Mitch Trubisky. I think they can ride that and the defence and get a good win here and keep themselves in the playoff hunt.

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins

These two teams are at such different points in their cycles and the Dolphins really need the win here. They are playing much better football and their defence has been playing some amazing football. The Patriots are just too hit and miss and I think Brian Flores can keep his old team under control.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Arizona Cardinals

The Eagles secondary is decimated and the Cardinals are such a good offence. Arizona will be able to pass all game long and can just take the game away from Philly here. Jalen Hurts can cause the defence problems but what he brings will be no surprise here. I think the Cardinals can win this, and win it big.

Kansas City Chiefs @ New Orleans Saints

This game really comes down to something simple for me – the Saints defence is great, the Chiefs offence is just better. Drew Brees should be back here but if he is 100% is unclear – and unlikely. They just can’t keep up with the Chiefs unless Mahomes and co have an off day and after having one last week I wouldn’t expect it here.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals

Ryan Finley will be at quarterback for the Bengals and up against the fearsome Steelers defence he could well have a torrid time. There is no guarantee he will even finish the game. Right now I can’t find a line for his passing yards but as long as it isn’t 165 yards or fewer we will be taking the under. I will update this when I have the line but it will be a three unit play.

The Steelers are big favourites here but I think they can shut the Bengals offence out.

UPDATE: Ryan Finley passing yards line is 194.5 yards
