The Eagles had the top ranked pass defense in the NFL during the regular season, allowing 174.2 yards per game. I expect the Rams to be playing from behind, which opens the door for an uptick in pass attempts for Stafford. But in the end, I expect the weather, combined with the Eagles' pass defense, to prevail. I expect around 200 passing yards for Stafford on Sunday.

I expect a slow start here, with the weather playing a significant role. Both teams are strong defensively, and they have the ability to bleed the clock on offense. This is the type of game that I see having a 3-0 or 7-0 score at the end of the first quarter.

The Rams were impressive in their Wild Card win over the Buccaneers, but on Sunday they will be dealing with significantly different weather. Wind and snow are in the forecast for Philadelphia, and the Eagles are more built for success in those conditions. Sean McVay has done a tremendous job with the Rams this year, but Philadelphia has the edge in depth, and Saquon Barkley is the ultimate X-Factor. Eagles by 7+ here.

Irving has been one of the biggest surprises of the 2024 rookie class. The former Oregon standout has established himself as one of the premier all-purpose backs in the NFL, despite opening the season as Tampa Bay's backup. Irving is facing a Washington defense that has had issues defending the run, and I expect the Bucs to lean heavily on Irving on Sunday night.

The Bucs absolutely dominated the Commanders in their previous meeting this season, but that was all the way back in Week 1. The difference for me here is Tampa Bay's rushing defense. The Bucs are one of the league's best at stopping the run, and they are good enough to make Washington's offense one-dimensional. On the other side, I expect a big game from Tampa Bay RB Bucky Irving. To top it off, Antoine Winfield is back for the Bucs. Tampa by 6+ here.

The Bucs have quietly been one of the NFL's best offenses this season, and the Commanders have been explosive as well with rookie QB Jayden Daniels running the show. These teams combined for 57 points earlier this season, and I see a similar output on Sunday night.

The Steelers simply aren't a good offensive football team right now. Russell Wilson has regressed, George Pickens drops are head-scratching, and the team just looks out of sync. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers defense can only do so much. The Ravens, on the other hand, are rolling. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry are going to be a problem for any team they face, and I just can't see the Steelers keeping this game close.

Simply put: I don't think the Steelers can score enough to keep up with the Ravens' offense and keep this game close. Lamar Jackson had a MVP caliber season, and Derrick Henry nearly went over 2,000 yards for the second time in his career. I have a massive amount of respect for Mike Tomlin, and the Steelers' defense is very, very good. But with their offense in shambles I expect Baltimore to be in short field situations regularly. Ravens by 13+ here.

Money is already pouring in on the Chargers, so I wouldn't be surprised if this line pushes as high as -3.5 or -4 by gameday. The Texans were a mess down the stretch, and will undoubtedly miss Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell here. Houston shocked the Cleveland Browns in a similar situation in last year's playoffs. I don't see a similar performance coming from DeMeco Ryans' team on Saturday.

The Avs are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now (crazy what an upgrade in net can do!). They will be without Val Nichushkin and Jonathan Drouin, but that shouldn't matter here. Colorado is coming off a 3-1 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers, and the team's stars (MacKinnon, Makar, and Rantanen) are playing outstanding hockey. Mackenzie Blackwood has been on fire since coming over from the Sharks, and I don't see him slowing down anytime soon. I like the Avs in a 4-2 or 4-1 type of game.

If the Ravens, who are 20-point favorites, beat the Browns, the Steelers will be eliminated from NFC North contention. If that happens, I expect Mike Tomlin to turn his focus to getting guys healthy and rested for the playoffs. The Steelers could still play this game out in hopes of landing the AFC's No. 5 seed. Nonetheless, Cinncy is simply the better team right now. Joe Burrow is outstanding in big games, and the pressure is on the Bengals to win. This is a spot where I see the Bengals winning by 7+.

The 49ers have been eliminated from postseason contention, while the Lions are still playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The 49ers are banged up and haven't been playing good football of late. Motivation will be high for Detroit and I expect the Lions to win by 7+.

Wind and rain will play a role in this game, and the Jets' passing attack has been underwhelming all season. Rodgers has played well in three straight games, but I think the conditions will force the Jets to lean heavily on their rushing attack.

The Colts still technically have something to play for, while the Giants are already looking towards the offseason. New York has been horrendous against the run this season, and I expect Jonathan Taylor to have a massive performance. In the end, I see the Colts winning by 10.

The Buffs have the two best players on the field at this game, and one of them (Shedeur Sanders) also happens to play the most important position in the sport. BYU will test Colorado physically, but the Cougars don't have the secondary to run with Travis Hunter and the rest of CU's wide receivers for an entire game. Buffs by a TD here.
