This week’s Thursday Night Football is a big one as the Los Angeles Chargers play host to the Denver Broncos! The Los Angeles Chargers got stuffed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last weekend and they currently sit third in the AFC West! As it stands, The Chargers occupy the last spot in the AFC Playoffs! As for Denver, they picked up an important win over the Indianapolis Colts last time out and they currently find themselves second in the AFC West! If the season ended today, The Broncos would take the Number 6 seed! In the end, I think The Chargers will just about edge this one! This could absolutely go either way, but I’m going to back Justin Herbert!

 


(9-5) Houston Texans @ Kansas City Chiefs (13-1)

The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Houston Texans in a big Saturday clash! The Kansas City Chiefs picked up a win in Cleveland last weekend and they currently lead the AFC West! As it stands, The Chiefs own the Number 1 seed! As for Houston, they picked up an important win over the Miami Dolphins last time out and they currently lead the AFC South! If the season ended today, The Texans would take the Number 4 seed! In the end, I expect The Chiefs to edge this one! I just can’t go against KC!

 


(10-4) Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens (9-5)

Another big match takes place on Saturday as The Ravens host The Steelers in Baltimore! The Baltimore Ravens cruised past the New York Giants last weekend and they currently sit second in the AFC North! As it stands, The Ravens are the AFC’s 5th-best team! As for Pittsburgh, they lost in Philadelphia last time out, but they are still currently leading the AFC North! If the season ended today, The Steelers would take the Number 3 seed! In the end, I think Baltimore will edge this game! This is another tough one to call, but I think The Ravens will take advantage of being the home side!

 


(2-12) New York Giants @ Atlanta Falcons (7-7)

The Atlanta Falcons won in Las Vegas Monday Night and they currently sit second in the NFC South! As it stands, The Falcons aren’t in a Playoff position! As for New York, they lost comfortably to The Ravens last time out and they currently find themselves last in the NFC East! If the season ended today, The Giants would be the NFC’s worst team! In the end, this should be an easy win for The Falcons! A loss here for Atlanta and their season is done!

 


(12-2) Detroit Lions @ Chicago Bears (4-10)

The Chicago Bears lost again Monday Night in Minnesota and they currently sit bottom of the NFC North! As it stands, The Bears have the third-worst record in the NFC! As for Detroit, they lost in a thriller against the Buffalo Bills last time out, but they do still currently lead the NFC North! If the season ended today, The Lions would take the NFC’s Number 1 seed! In the end, I expect Detroit to win this game! Despite all of their injuries, The Lions are still miles better than The Bears!

 


(3-11) Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts (6-8)

The Indianapolis Colts suffered a tough loss in Denver last weekend and they currently sit second in the AFC South! As it stands, The Colts are barely still in Playoff contention! As for Tennessee, they lost against The Bengals last time out and they currently find themselves bottom of the AFC South! If the season ended today, The Titans would end up with the third-worst record in the entire AFC! In the end, The Colts should win this easily! If not, Indi’s season is over!

The New York Jets picked up a positive win in Jacksonville last weekend and they currently sit third in the AFC East! As it stands, The Jets have already been eliminated from Playoff contention! As for LA, they picked up an important win in San Francisco last Thursday and they currently lead the NFC West! If the season ended today, The Rams would take the NFC’s Number 4 seed! In the end, I expect The Rams to win here! It would be a disaster for them if they didn’t!

The Washington Commanders play host to the Philadelphia Eagles in an important NFC East clash! The Washington Commanders picked up an important 1-point win in New Orleans last weekend and they currently sit second in the NFC East! As it stands, The Commanders occupy the last spot in the NFC Playoff Race! As for Philadelphia, they picked up a massive win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last time out and they currently lead the NFC East! If the season ended today, The Eagles would take the Number 2 seed! In the end, I think Philly will win here! I honestly can’t see The Eagles losing at the moment, and that won’t change here!
