Steelers @ Ravens
Ravens rest starters, should be enough for PIT win

Texans @ Colts
With a healthy Stroud at QB hopes improve, but they're missing key WRs and
a RB. Colts handled the Raiders last week so there's hope in a home game
with a potential win/advance or go home outcome.

Browns @ Bengals
Browns also resting key starters,
Bengals want to finish above .500

Vikings @ Lions
I would imagine the Lions are really PO'd
after the stolen win last week.

Jaguars @ Titans
Trevor Lawrence is likely to play given the need to
win and make the playoffs, Jags return two starting WRs from IR too.

Jets @ Patriots
Jets playing at least for a somewhat respectable record, the
Pats look just plain awful.

Falcons @ Saints
Might be closer than anticipated depending upon
which version of each team shows up. Both had great games last week
so hard to predict. Saints have edge with home field..

Buccaneers @ Panthers
Another unpredictable NFC South game, logic says Bucs
but who knows...

Bears @ Packers
Kind of an upset special I suppose but can
see Bears hyped to knock GB out of playoff contention.
QB Fields seems to have found his groove too.

Broncos @ Raiders
No Russell Wison and what amounts to a probably
demoralized DEN team. Rival Raiders happy to oblige.

Eagles @ Giants
Philly seems to be fading fast however can't do worse
than their current #5 seed, so they may rest some folks.
Tyrod Taylor could have another field day.

Seahawks @ Cardinals
SEA needs the win to keep longshot playoff hopes alive
but on the road against an AZ team playing well recently.

Chiefs @ Chargers
KC needs the win to avoid being the possible #7 seed, luckily
it's the Chargers.

Rams @ 49ers
Neither team is desperate for the win, a battle of the backups most likely. The 49ers have locked up the #1 seed and the Rams are solid as the Wildcard at #6,
with no win/lose combinations advancing or knocking them down either.

Cowboys @ Commanders
WAS would love to knock the Cowboys out of the #2 slot and karma
could very well contribute here. DAL plays down to the competition on the road also.

Bills @ Dolphins
MIA has too much retribution at stake here after last week's abomination
and the bad loss to BUF earlier in the season. I would look to McDaniel to
open a can of whoop ass with playmaking also given questions of his abilities in these big games.

A rough 9-7, with three one point losses adding to the tally.

Thanks for taking the time every week to compile this data Aquacannon.
One correction though, I was 12-4 this week. I switched to the Steelers.


Congrats Susan. You kicked butt.
