I wish I had the stones to pick the Giants, because they can win this game. But I don’t and they won’t. Eagles 27, Giants 21.
Jags, you are a very nice story, and you are only a year or two away from being a very good NFL team. But right now is right now, and right now you are in way over your heads. Chiefs 38, Jags 17.

‘Niners edge-rushing holy terror Nick Bosa has 18.5 sacks on the season, but only one in his last three games. Keeping Bosa from being draped all over Dak’s #4 all day long will be a helluva challenge for the Cowboys, just as the ‘Niners will have to come up with multiple exotic tactics to control—or at least make life difficult for—Micah Parsons.
If you had asked me three weeks ago, I would have had no problem picking the Bengals to upset the Bills in Buffalo. Cincy was peaking on both sides of the ball, and this Bengal team was becoming better than the one that went to the Super Bowl last season.

Michigan has fired co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss for “computer access violations.” No elaboration. Fired. Whatever these allegations are, they are serious.

Hey, Shannon Sharpe. Have some dignity. Sit down. Watch the game. Grab some pizza. Shut up.
