So let's get into the picks (BTW, in case you were wondering, I get my odds from Sportsline.com. This is not an ad, it's just explaining the source)

Ravens (-6) @ Bills: Can the Bills stop the Lamar juggernaut? I'm not sure. But the Bills showed me something offensively last week. and they are at home. I'm going on a hunch of a close game here

Points: Bills
Victory: Ravens

Redskins @ Packers (-12.5): Green Bay continues to ride momentum at home against a team that can't afford to win more games. I will take the Packers here

Points: Packers
Victory: Packers

Broncos @ Texans (-9): Texans seem to be this dark horse coming out of nowhere and the Broncos are a mess. Give me Houston.

Points: Texans
Victory: Texans

Niners @ Saints (-2.5): The key in this game will be the New Orleans defense and if they can stop George Kittle. I'm very meh on this game so I will take the Niners with the points because I'm not sure

Points: Niners
Victory: Saints

Bengals @ Browns (-7.5): I told you about this Bengals defense being sneaky good of late so this will be a close game. Browns pull it out but close

Points: Bengals
Victory: Browns

Panthers @ Falcons (-3): Always interesting to see how a team responds to a coaching change. But Kyle Allen still has been trending downwards to me so I will take the Falcons

Points: Falcons
Victory: Falcons

Lions @ Vikings (-13): After crashing against Seattle, the Vikings will take refuge against a Lions team that is lost, but that spread is a little too big for my taste

Points: Lions
Victory: Vikings

Dolphins @ Jets (-5.5): This seem to be one of those "Vegas knows something" lines. IMO, this should be a pick'em. I don't know what teams are going to show up and which aren't. I think the Jets get revenge but I can't be sure

Points: Dolphins
Victory: Jets

Colts @ Buccaneers (-3): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!
Two big points for this game: The Colts are getting back RB Marlon Mack back from injury, which should provide a big boost to their offense, and the Buccaneers (5-6) are just 1-4 at home this year. Give me the Colts

Points: Colts
Victory: Colts

Chargers (-3) @ Jaguars: The Kings of the Heartbreaking Loss did it again last week, and I am really tempted to pick Jacksonville, but the LA defense gets All-Pro Derwin James back and Minshew is starting again, this time with teams ready for him. I will take LA, uncomfortably

Points: Chargers
Victory: Chargers

Chiefs @ Patriots (-3): Did the Pats find something in the 4th Quarter against Houston? All I know is that Belichick rarely loses 2 in a row. I will take the Pats, uncomfortably

Points: Pats
Victory: Pats

Steelers (-2.5) @ Cardinals: Steelers have found a groove with Duck Hodges and a stout defense and I think that will continue

Points: Steelers
Victory: Steelers

Titans (-2.5) @ Raiders: This is another one of those "Vegas knows something" lines. And this time I am going against Vegas. I think the Titans smash Oakland

Points: Titans
Victory: Titans

Seahawks @ Rams: PICK'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!
In a game that seems very close, give me the better QB. That would be Russell Wilson. I trust him in these big games.

Victory: Seahawks

Giants @ Eagles (-9.5): Does anybody want to win the NFC East? It's the Eagles turn to step up against a Giants team that gets a blast from the past with Eli coming back. Eagles win, but not by 10 points.

Points: Giants
Victory: Eagles
