The Green Bay Packers (9-4) visit the Seattle Seahawks (8-5). Seattle is in first place in the NFC West, one-half game ahead of the streaking Los Angeles Rams. Green Bay is locked in its current playoff spot provided they win two of their remaining four games. The combination does not matter much. Our Packers vs […]
The Los Angeles Chargers (8-5) host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6). Los Angeles is firmly in their AFC Wild Card position. Tampa Bay took over first place in the NFC South in Week 14.

The Carolina Panthers (3-10) host the Dallas Cowboys (5-8). Normally, this would be a mundane tilt between two also-ran teams looking toward the 2025 NFL Draft and other offseason pursuits. But it is notable because this is the first game in which Carolina is favored since Week 15 of the 2022 season against Pittsburgh. (They […]
The Washington Commanders (8-5) are chasing a playoff spot as they travel to New Orleans to play the Saints (5-8). Our Commanders vs Saints prediction is for underdog New Orleans to keep the game closer than the 8-point spread. Washington is in a good position to reach the postseason, but it is not assured. They […]
