Houston @ Kansas City TNF @ 8:20 PM on NBC
Pick: Kansas City-34 Houston-24
The KC offense will be too much for the Houston defense. – JL
Pick: Kansas City- 36 Houston 27
The Chiefs simply have better weapons than the Texans, their offense will roll all game while the Texans will have moments. – MK
Miami @ New England, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: New England-24 Miami-21
Miami will hang in there but the Pats defense will make enough plays to get the win here. – JL
Pick: New England 20 – Miami 17
For me these two teams are far from playoff contenders, but it comes down to Cam Newton > Ryan Fitzpatrick. – MK
Chicago @ Detroit, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: Detroit-20 Chicago-13
A healthy Stafford with an improved defense should be enough to get by the Bears. – JL
Pick: Detroit 27 – Chicago 17
The Lions are far superior to the Bears on every aspect of the game. – MK
Seattle @ Atlanta, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: Seattle-27 Atlanta-23
One of the best games of the week. Wilson gets it done in the 4th quarter. – JL
Pick: Seattle 24 – Atlanta 20
This game will come down to the final possession in which I believe the Seahawks will make a defensive stand. – MK
Philadelphia @ Washington, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: Philadelphia-34 Washington-13
Philly is better on offense and defense. Philly wins pretty easy. – JL
Pick: Philadelphia 27 – Washington 10
The Redskins defense is a good unit, but their offense is a joke, Eagles take this easy. – MK
Green Bay @ Minnesota, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: Minnesota-24 Green Bay-21
Minnesota lost a lot on defense but I think they still have enough to get the win over the Packers at home. – JL
Pick: Green Bay 24 – Minnesota 20
No Michael Pierce, Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, Trey Waynes, I believe this defense will be run through by Aaron Jones enough for the Packers to pick up the win. – MK
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: Indianapolis-31 Jacksonville-24
The Jacksonville defense is no good and Indy will take advantage in a big way. – JL
Pick: Indianapolis 34 – Jacksonville 10
The Jags are clearly tanking while the Colts have Rivers behind an elite offensive line, I am really excited. – MK
Cleveland @ Baltimore, Sunday @1 PM/ET
Pick: Baltimore-34 Cleveland-21
The Ravens defense will show that they are still elite and set the offense up with plenty of good opportunities to score. – JL
Pick: Baltimore 31 – Cleveland 17
Baker is not even average, the Ravens defense is elite. – MK
NY Jets @ Buffalo, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: Buffalo-17 NY Jets-13
This screams low scoring to me. Buffalo gets the win in a very defensive game. -JL
Pick: Buffalo 28 – NY Jets 17
Adam Gase is still the head coach, so the Jets offense finds no rhythm and struggles. – MK
Las Vegas @ Carolina, Sunday @ 1PM/ET
Pick: Carolina-24 Las Vegas-17
Teddy will be just good enough to compliment CMC. – JL
Pick: Carolina 24 – Las Vegas – 20
I think this game will be fun to watch, in the end Bridgewater’s lack of turnovers win this game. – MK
LA Chargers @ Cincinnati, Sunday @ 4:05 PM/ET
Pick: Los Angeles-27 Cincinnati-16
Tyrod has plenty of weapons to put up points on this Bengals defense. – JL
Pick: LA Chargers 28 – Cincinnati 17
The Bengals offensive line is a steaming pile of garbage so bad that a high school team in Texas could outplay them, Bosa and Ingram will tear them apart. – MK
Tampa Bay @ New Orleans, Sunday @ 4:25 PM/ET
Pick: New Orleans-34 Tampa Bay-24
Tom in Tampa won’t be enough to beat Brees in New Orleans. -JL
Tampa Bay 27 – New Orleans 24
The Bucs offense is far deeper than the Saints, and in the 4th quarter it makes the difference needed for the win. – MK
Arizona @ San Fransisco, Sunday @ 4:25 PM/ET
Pick: Arizona-24 San Fransisco-21
Super Bowl hangover combined with an improving team. Arizona with the upset. – JL
Pick: Arizona 23 – San Francisco 20
Cardinals offense got better, the 49ers offense is beat up already and will struggle with their subpar QB. – MK
Dallas @ LA Rams, Sunday night football @ 8:20 PM/ET on NBC
Pick: LA Rams-27 Dallas-24
Goff starts his bounce back season with a good performance in the season opener. – JL
Pick: Dallas 30 – Rams 24
The Cowboys are all around just a better team and Ramsey can slow down Cooper, but Gallup and Lamb should run wild. – MK
Pittsburgh @ NY Giants Monday @ 7:10 PM/ET on ESPN
Pick: Pittsburgh-30 NY Giants- 17
Big Ben is back and the offense improves a lot. – JL
Pick: Pittsburgh 34 – NY Giants 20
Ben returns with a win against an inferior Giants defense. – MK
Tennessee @ Denver, Monday @ 10:20 PM/ET on ESPN
Pick: Denver-20 Tennessee 13
The Denver defense slow down Henry and hold on to win at home. – JL
Pick: Tennessee 21 – Denver 20
The Titans score late and stop the Denver offense from mounting a comeback late, then use Henry to burn clock. – MK
KEY: JL- Jaycob Lofts, MK- Matt Koontz
