Match context Los Angeles Rams vs Detroit Lions Lions or Rams? Detroit rolls into Los Angeles buzzing after they smashed Dallas in primetime. Still, the Lions are unpredictable — brilliant one week, sloppy the next. At 8-5, margins are thin in the NFC playoff race. This trip to the West Coast is a proper credibility…

Match context New Orleans Saints vs Carolina Panthers “Oh when the Saints go marching in?” Carolina roll into New Orleans in an awkward spot: surprise division leader, yet the road favorite after already losing to these same Saints earlier in the season. The win over the Rams turned heads, and it clearly bumped the Panthers’…

Match context New York Giants vs Washington Commanders Giants bouncing back against the capital? Five wins between the two of them, two never-ending losing streaks and patchwork offenses. Washington and New York haven’t won since early October and they turn up to this one shorn of bodies and certainty. For the Commanders, Marcus Mariota should…

Match context — Chicago Bears vs Cleveland Browns On paper the gap in records is massive. Still, this Browns–Bears game isn’t as straightforward as it looks. Cleveland rolls into Chicago with a ravaged roster, and yet Shedeur Sanders just produced by far his best NFL game… against a very soft Tennessee defense. Chicago, meanwhile, remains…

Match context Jacksonville Jaguars vs New York Jets On paper these two couldn’t look more different. The Jets are already out, tinkering at quarterback, while Jacksonville’s running the table in the AFC South and hunting a playoff spot. Still, this matchup isn’t as lopsided as it looks, especially against the spread. New York should hand…

Match context New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills Buffalo roll into Foxborough with one plan: win. The Bills are still alive in the division race, powered by an offense on fire and, crucially, the most reliable quarterback in the league when it comes to simply closing out games. Josh Allen turns these tight spots into…

Match context — Kansas City Chiefs vs Los Angeles Chargers Kansas City isn’t as far from elite as their recent results make it look. Since Week 10 the Chiefs are top-six in offensive DVOA and remain a solid team, screwed mostly by a chronic inability to close tight games. Nothing’s fundamentally broken — aside from…

Match context Philadelphia Eagles vs Las Vegas Raiders Fly Eagles Fly to Nevada ? The Raiders roll into Philadelphia in a familiar freefall: no wins for weeks, a sputtering offense and now a forced change at quarterback. Kenny Pickett showed a flash coming off the bench against Denver, but the sample’s tiny and the situation…

Match context Houston Texans vs Arizona Cardinals Arizona keeps hanging on, but reality slammed into them last week. The 45–17 loss to the Rams ended the “little engine that could” story: a brave team, sometimes scrappy, but outclassed as soon as the level rises. At 3–10, the Cardinals have nothing left to play for except…
