The race for the top spot in the AFC is heating up, and the Steelers missed a crucial opportunity to stay near the top when they lost to the Browns in a snowy game on Thursday. They now have a tough schedule ahead, facing the likes of the Chiefs, Ravens, Eagles, and Bengals twice. The battle for the number one seed seems to be between the Bills and the Chiefs, with the Bills snagging a key tiebreaker after defeating the Chiefs last week.
In Houston, the addition of Danielle Hunter has been a game-changer for the Texans. The edge rusher, formerly from Minnesota, has been putting up impressive numbers with 72 pressures and a pressure rate of 21.8% for the season. Along with teammate Will Anderson, Hunter forms a formidable duo for the 7-4 Texans. They will be taking on the 2-8 Titans this Sunday.
Can the Dolphins make a run for the playoffs? With two consecutive wins, they have improved to 4-6 and have a favorable schedule ahead. While they will face tough opponents such as the Packers, Texans, and 49ers, their other three games are against the struggling Patriots, Browns, and Jets.
Switching over to the NFC, things are not looking good for the Cowboys. Despite being undefeated at home for two years, they have now lost all five of their home games this season and have been outscored 187-69. In Dallas, it seems like it's only a matter of time before changes are made. The Rams, on the other hand, have won four of their last five games, but are still only at .500. They will have a chance to make a big move in the playoff race when they take on the Eagles this week.
The Arizona Cardinals currently hold the top spot in the competitive NFC West division. They have won four straight games and will be looking to continue their momentum after coming off their bye week. They will face the Seahawks in a crucial divisional matchup, one of four NFC West games left in their final seven games.
The game of the week is the highly anticipated Harbaugh Bowl, with brothers Jim and John facing off as coaches of the Chargers and Ravens respectively. This Monday night matchup will have major implications for the AFC postseason seeding, with both teams led by talented quarterbacks in Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson. The Ravens are the favorites, but it will be a close game.
In the "lock of the week," the Detroit Lions are predicted to continue their impressive eight-game winning streak against the Colts. Led by a strong offense and defense, the Lions look like the best team in the league and are favored by a touchdown.
And finally, for the upset of the week, the 49ers are predicted to defeat the Packers in a close game. These two teams have a history of closely contested games, and with the 49ers having knocked the Packers out of the playoffs in two of the past three seasons, they will be looking to continue their streak. This game will likely come down to the wire, with the Packers only being narrow favorites.
