On NFL Black Monday, Patriots owner Robert Kraft didn’t even wait until Monday to fire head coach Jerod Mayo. Kraft dismissed him immediately after New England’s win over Buffalo. That win dropped them from securing the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the fourth pick. It adds to the curriculum of a […]
The Kansas City Chiefs (15-1) or a reasonable facsimile of them play the Denver Broncos (9-7). KC is resting all of its top players in a game that Denver needs to win to make the postseason. Our Chiefs vs Broncos prediction is that heavy underdog KC will cover the 10.5-point spread. Head-to-head, Kansas City leads […]
The Miami Dolphins (8-8) visit the New York Jets (4-12) with a chance to make the playoffs. They need to beat New York and hope that Kansas City, resting its stars, beats Denver. Miami is likely without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Our Dolphins vs Jets prediction is for New York to win. Head-to-head, Miami has the […]
The Los Angeles Chargers (10-7) visit the Las Vegas Raiders (4-12). If the Chargers win, they will secure the AFC’s 5th seed and a trip to Houston to play the Texans in the Wild Card round. This is undoubtedly their most favorable matchup. If they lose, they will go to Baltimore. Our Chargers vs Raiders […]
The Seattle Seahawks (9-7) travel to play the Los Angeles Rams (10-6). An LA win or Tampa Bay loss would give them the number 3 seed in the NFC. However, head coach Sean McVay will rest his stars instead of going all to win. Still, our Seahawks vs Rams prediction is that underdog LA will […]
The Chicago Bears (4-12) visit their NFL rivals of more than a century, the Green Bay Packers (11-5). Our Bears vs Packers prediction is for favored Green Bay to cover the 10-point spread. Chicago is just trying to get their horrific season over with, but they can still salvage something if they make Green Bay’s […]
The playoff-bound Washington Commanders (11-5) visit the Dallas Cowboys (7-9). Washington has experienced a dramatic turnaround from their 4-13 campaign in 2023. Now, with a win, they clinch the number 6 seed in the NFC. Our Commanders vs Cowboys prediction is for road favorite Washington to cover the 6.5-point spread. Head-to-head, Dallas leads their longtime […]
The San Francisco 49ers (6-10) visit the Arizona Cardinals (7-9). Both are playing out the season after fading late and blowing their chance to make the postseason. Our 49ers vs Cardinals prediction is for favored Arizona to cover the 4.5-point spread. Head to head, San Francisco leads with a record of 36-30. Offshore Odds: Arizona […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-12) visit the Indianapolis Colts (7-9) in the last game of a disappointing season for both teams. Neither team has much to play for. Jacksonville can’t even move up significantly from the fifth spot in the 2025 NFL Draft. Indianapolis blew its slim playoff chance with a catastrophic loss to the Giants. […]
The AFC South champion Houston Texans (9-7) visit the Tennessee Titans (3-13). This game is meaningless to Houston as it gears up for the playoffs. Tennessee is currently picking second in the 2025 NFL draft and they desperately need a quarterback. Since New England likely has the first overall pick and does not need a […]
