Arizona Cardinals (4-9) vs Denver Broncos (3-10), Sunday at 4:05 P.M. EST

Arizona just lost their starter to injury last week just like the Steelers did. Kyler Murray will be out for the remainder of the season after injuring his knee, while Kenny Pickett could be back at some point. Russell Wilson makes more than both of the two aforementioned players, and he should be able to put that money to good use this week.

Prediction: Broncos 21, Cardinals 12

Do not expect a ton of offense in this game as the two defenses will try and make things easier on their counterpart. Being without Murray is going to be a death sentence for Arizona as their offense had issues with him in the lineup. Expect Wilson to cook for two touchdowns and his defense to help Denver capture a third.

New England Patriots (7-6) vs Las Vegas Raiders (5-8), Sunday at 4:05 P.M. EST

Things are not kind to many coaches that leave the empire of Bill Belichick. He has constantly defeated those that have sprouted out of his coaching tree in head-to-head matchups. That will happen again this week as the Patriots head to Sin City and take on the Las Vegas Raiders.

Prediction: Patriots 23, Raiders 21

After a couple of weeks of hope, just like the Steelers did, the Raiders fell back to earth last week. Josh McDaniels is going up against a tough track record of coaches from the Belichick coaching tree that have not succeeded head-to-head. It should be close because the New England offense is still pretty bad, but the Patriots will escape with a win.

Tennessee Titans (7-6) vs LA Chargers (7-6), Sunday at 4:25 P.M. EST

Heading to the west coast already puts your team behind the eight-ball, let alone after coming off a tough loss the previous week. The Jaguars shocked many after taking care of the Titans without much fight from the division leaders. This is another potential playoff preview as the Chargers are piggybacking off Justin Herbert’s spectacular performances.

Prediction: Titans 28, Chargers 24

Both offenses should be able to have success in this contest as neither defense will shock you with talent. Herbert is playing well, but his offensive line is beaten to a pulp. Expect Tennessee to establish the run enough to slow Herbert down and get a win after a tough loss last week against the Jaguars.

Cincinnati Bengals (9-4) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7), Sunday at 4:25 P.M. EST

Not many teams have been playing better than the Bengals since their bye week. They took down the Steelers with ease and started to go on a roll that slayed a few playoff beasts in their path. Tampa Bay is struggling to hold onto their division lead currently, but luckily for them, their division is terrible this season.

Prediction: Bengals 35, Buccaneers 26

Tom Brady will not leave that stadium without putting up a fight against Joe Burrow and the Bengals. He loves to prove father time wrong in these types of situations where a younger quarterback tries to beat him. It should be a close game at different points, but expect Cincinnati to pull away late in the fourth quarter.
