Jacksonville Jaguars @ Pittsburgh Steelers – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Jacksonville Jaguars come into this game looking to pick up a crucial victory on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon. It has been a solid start to the season for Jacksonville, and they will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here in this one on the road as they look for their sixth victory on the young season. Travis Etienne will have to perform well in this game if Jacksonville wants to continue having success as he has been the key to their production on the offensive side of the football throughout the majority of their games this season. They come into this game on a four game winning streak and they will be looking to make it five consecutive victories with another victory here on the road in Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are outperforming their expectations, and Mike Tomlin is once again proving why he has one of the best coaches in the entire National Football League. They will be looking to end the Jacksonville Jaguars win streak with a quality performance here on Sunday afternoon at home as they look to gain ground in the AFC North division which is one of the toughest divisions in football this season. They come into this game with four victories to their name on the season and they will be looking to grab their fifth victory of the year here, and this one on Sunday afternoon against a very solid Jacksonville Jaguars team. Unfortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers, I don’t see that happening as I look for Jacksonville to go on the road and pick up the victory here in this one.

Atlanta Falcons @ Tennessee Titans – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

It has been a roller coaster of a season for the Atlanta Falcons, and they will be looking to get things heading in the right direction with a victory here on Sunday afternoon on the road in Tennessee. Rookie running back Bijan Robinson will have to take on more of a role after he only recorded a single carry with less than a minute left in the game last week in their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If they want to grab a second consecutive victory in this game against Tennessee will have to utilize him to the best of his abilities, after under utilizing him arguably for the majority of the season. Atlanta comes into this game with a 4-3 record through their first seven games of the season, and they will be needing to pick up a victory here in this one to keep pace in the NFC South division. 

The Tennessee Titans come into this game looking to pick up a solid victory at home against the Atlanta Falcons. However, it is still unknown if they will have their starting quarterback with them when they take the field on Sunday afternoon as it seems very likely that backups Will Levis and Malik Willis will split time for the Tennessee Titans in this game. Tennessee is under performing this season, as they have only picked up a pair of victories in their first six games of the year, and they will be looking to pick up their third victory of the season here at home on Sunday afternoon. They do not start stringing together some wins quickly it is likely that they will be out of the division title race within the next few weeks with the way the Jacksonville Jaguars have been playing. Unfortunately for the Tennessee Titans, I don’t see them getting the win here in this one either as I look for Atlanta to pick up the victory on the road.

Los Angeles Rams @ Dallas Cowboys – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Los Angeles Rams will be looking to hit the road and pick up a crucial victory against the Dallas Cowboys here on Sunday afternoon. In a rare 1 PM home game for the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles will be looking to head into Jerry’s world and pick up a crucial victory before heading into the midway point of the season. They are off to sort of a slow start this season and a victory in this game would give them plenty of momentum heading into the back half of the year. They come into this game with three victories to their name through their first seven games of the season, and they will be looking to even up their record where they equal performance here on the road against Dallas on Sunday afternoon as they look to keep pace with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West division. 

The Dallas Cowboys will be looking to pick up a solid victory here at home on Sunday afternoon over the Los Angeles Rams. Dallas is off to a solid start this season as they have picked up four victories and their first six games of the year and they will have to grab a fifth victory here in this one as they look to keep pace with the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East division. Dallas has won 10 consecutive games at home and they will be looking for an 11th straight home. Victory here on Sunday afternoon against a beat up and battered Los Angeles Rams team that is coming off of a controversial loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. I expect Dallas to extend their one game winning streak with a victory here on Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Rams.

Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Minnesota Vikings are coming off of a massive victory over the San Francisco 49ers last Monday night, and they will be looking to grab another victory on the road against the Green Bay Packers here in this one. This would be a huge divisional victory for the Minnesota Vikings if they can get the job done without Justin Jefferson in the lineup against their NFC North division rivals as they look to gain ground within the division title race. Minnesota comes into this game with a losing record, and they will be looking to even up their record with their fourth victory of the season here on Sunday afternoon on the road at Lambeau Field. It would be a huge victory for the Vikings as they looked to keep pace with the Lions within the division.

The Green Bay Packers are off to a slow start this season and the post Aaron Rodgers era has not gone exactly how they would’ve expected. Questions are starting to pop up about the ability of Jordan Love to lead this team successfully as a successor for Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay find themselves two games under the .500 mark through their first six games of the season. They will be looking to pick up their third victory of the season in this crucial divisional matchup at home on Sunday afternoon as they look to get the train back onto the tracks and rolling in the right direction heading into the midway point of the season. I expect it to be a close and competitive game, but in the end, I don’t look for it to go Green Bay’s way, as I have Minnesota grabbing the victory here in this one.

New Orleans Saints @ Indianapolis Colts – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The New Orleans Saints will be looking to hit the road to Indianapolis and pick up a crucial victory here on Sunday afternoon. It has been a bit of a roller coaster of a season for New Orleans this far and they will be looking to get things back on the right track with this game against Indianapolis as they look to put themselves in a position to win a relatively weak NFC South division. New Orleans comes into this game with three victories and four losses on their record this season, and they will be looking to get their record back to even with a victory on the road here on Sunday afternoon against the Indianapolis Colts. The Saints will be looking to snap a two game losing streak with a victory here on Sunday as well.

It has been a rough season so far for the Indianapolis Colts as they have already lost their first round draft selection, and their brand new starting quarterback Anthony Richardson for the remainder of the year. They come into this game with an identical record as New Orleans as they have three victories and four losses on the season and they will be looking to pick up their fourth victory of the season in this crucial home game here on Sunday afternoon. The Jacksonville Jaguars are starting to heat up so each passing game gets more and more important for the Indianapolis Colts and they will be looking to grab a crucial victory here in this one against a solid New Orleans team. Unfortunately for them I don’t see that happening as I look for the New Orleans Saints to hit the road and pick up the victory over the Indianapolis Colts here on Sunday afternoon.
