Arizona Cardinals @ Houston Texans – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Arizona Cardinals have been one of the worst teams in the league this season, but they have found some success with the return of their starting quarterback, Kyler Murray. He let them to a victory last weekend, and he will be looking to lead them to another victory this weekend against the red hot Houston Texans here on Sunday afternoon as he returns home to play in front of his family and friends. The playoffs are arguably a lost cause for Arizona at this point in the year, but they will be looking to build up as much momentum as possible before heading into the offseason as they look to build upon their roster and get back to being a contender. Arizona comes into this game as losers of eight out of their first ten games on the season, but they did pick up a victory over Atlanta in their last game. So they do have a little bit of momentum coming into this game on Sunday afternoon. 

The Houston Texans had a relatively slow start to the season, but they have picked it up as of late and they come into this game looking to grab another crucial victory over Arizona on Sunday at home. Quarterback CJ Stroud is finally playing up to the level of an elite number two overall pick throughout his rookie season and he will be looking to deliver another quality performance here on Sunday against the Cardinals. The Houston Texans come into this game with five victories through their first nine games of the season and they will be looking for their sixth victory of the year to stay in the race for the AFC south division as well as in the AFC wildcard race. They come into this game with plenty of momentum after back-to-back victories over Tampa Bay and Cincinnati and I expect them to grab a third consecutive victory here on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

Las Vegas Raiders @ Miami Dolphins – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Las Vegas Raiders are undefeated after firing Josh McDaniels a few weeks ago and they will be looking to remain undefeated in this crucial AFC matchup on Sunday afternoon in Miami. Victory for the Las Vegas Raiders in this game would keep them in the AFC wildcard race heading into the back half of the regular season. The Las Vegas Raiders have split their first ten games of the season as they come into this game with five wins, and they will be looking for their sixth victory of the season here and this one on Sunday afternoon and one of the toughest environments in the league. A win in this game for Las Vegas would put them right in the middle of the AFC wildcard race heading into the final seven weeks of the regular season and it would give them their third consecutive victory of the season as well.

The Miami Dolphins are enjoying an amazing season at the moment, and they will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Sunday afternoon at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. Miami is still in the chase for the number one seed in the AFC as they look to earn a bye in the opening round of the postseason and they will be looking to lock up the AFC East throughout the remainder of the season as well. A victory here on Sunday afternoon at home against the Las Vegas Raiders would be a step in the right direction for the Miami Dolphins as they look to build their lead on the Buffalo Bills who have been struggling in recent weeks. They will be looking to bounce back from their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in their previous game and get back into the win column with a quality performance here on Sunday. I expect them to do just that and pick up a comfortable victory here on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Dallas Cowboys @ Carolina Panthers – 1PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Dallas Cowboys are enjoying a successful season at the moment, and they will be looking to keep the momentum rolling here on Sunday afternoon on the road against the Carolina Panthers. Dallas comes into this game with six victories through their first nine games of the regular season, and they will be looking for their seventh victory here on Sunday afternoon to keep themselves in a solid position in the NFC wildcard race. Dallas is coming off of a blowout victory over the New York Giants for the second time this season and they have won three out of their last four games on the year. They will be looking for another blowout victory over the Carolina Panthers here on Sunday afternoon on the road as they look to take one step closer to clinching a playoff spot this season. 

The Carolina Panthers have been absolutely awful this season, and there looks to be no end in sight heading into the back half of the regular season either. There are questions starting to arise that Bryce Young might not be the answer in Carolina and they may select a brand new quarterback with one of their two picks in the upcoming draft next year. Carolina comes into this game as losers of eight out of their first nine games on the year and they will be looking for their second victory of the season here on Sunday afternoon against the Dallas Cowboys. They come into this game with back-to-back losses on their résumé, and they will be looking to snap their two game losing streak, and break a streak of four out of the last five games ending in defeat. Unfortunately for Carolina, I don’t see this game getting any better as I look for the Dallas Cowboys to grab a comfortable victory and cover the spread on the road.

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills – 4:25PM ET

Tony Battalio

The New York Jets had high expectations coming into the regular season, but after losing Aaron Rodgers within the opening seconds of their season opening game against Buffalo, those expectations changed dramatically. They still managed to pick up the victory over the Buffalo Bills in that game and now they will be looking to go on the road to Buffalo and replicate that performance and pick up a second victory here on Sunday afternoon. A victory for the New York Jets in this game would put them right in the middle of the AFC wildcard race heading into the last seven weeks of the regular season and put them in a good position heading into the back half of their schedule as well. The New York Jets come into this game with four victories through their first nine games of the season and they will be looking to pick up their fifth victory here on Sunday afternoon in Buffalo as they look to keep themselves in the playoff conversation. 

The Buffalo Bills will be looking to get revenge for their week one loss to the New York Jets and keep themselves in the playoff conversation after a rough couple of weeks. Buffalo will be in desperate need of a bounce back victory after losing to Denver last Monday night and they will be looking to get into the column and maintain their positioning within the AFC wildcard standings. Another game would put them at jeopardy of missing the postseason and likely end any hopes they had of winning the AFC East division as well. Buffalo comes into this game sitting at the .500 mark through their first ten games of the season and it will be necessary for them to pick up a sixth victory here on Sunday afternoon against the New York Jets if they want to remain in a favorable position for the playoff race. Luckily, for Buffalo that is exactly what I expect as I look for them to pick up the win over the Jets.

Monday, November 20th

Philadelphia Eagles @ Kansas City Chiefs – 8:15PM ET

Tony Battalio

The Philadelphia Eagles come into this game looking to pick up a massive momentum boosting victory to enter the back half of the regular season. They are off to a fantastic start this year, and they seem like the favorites in the NFC to return to the Super Bowl for the second consecutive time as long as they are healthy and consistent throughout the remainder of the regular season. They will have an opportunity to get revenge on the team that beat them in the Super Bowl last year here on Monday night when they go to Kansas City to play the Chiefs. They are having a fantastic season, and they will be looking to add another victory to their record, as well as further establish themselves as the top team, the NFC, and grow their lead at the top of the conference, with another victory as well. 

The Kansas City Chiefs come into this game looking to pick up a solid victory at home against one of the top teams in the league here on Monday night. This would be a massive boost for the Kansas City Chiefs throughout the remainder of the regular season if they could get a second win over the team they just beat in the Super Bowl less than a year ago. These two teams are arguably favored to rematch in this year’s Super Bowl and Kansas City grabbing a victory in the regular season against Philadelphia would go a long way for psychological purposes heading into the postseason. Kansas City has struggled at times throughout the year, but they are full strength and flexing their muscles, they are nearly unbeatable regardless of where the game is being played, and who the opponent is. I expect this to be a high scoring game where it is impossible to pick a winner so I am going with the safer route of having these two teams go over their total points line in this one. As I look for a high scoring back-and-forth game between the Eagles and Chiefs.
