Deep dives
Rams at Cowboys
The Rams have been decidedly average this season and the Cowboys have shown they can play well against mid or bad teams. The return of Deonte Johnson should help Matt Stafford and the Rams offense, but they may struggle against the Cowboys defense. The Cowboys have been solid this season and can capitalize on home field advantage. Look for the Cowboys to come out with a win in this matchup.
Vikings at Packers
The Packers have been a bit inconsistent this season, while the Vikings are starting to find their groove. The Vikings have been strong offensively, but face a tough challenge against the Packers defense. On the other side, Kirk Cousins will need to step up to compete with the Packers offense led by Jordan Love. Look for a close game, but the Packers may have the edge.
Patriots at Dolphins
The Patriots are coming off a strong performance against the Bills and have built some momentum. However, the Dolphins are a capable team and may have a look ahead to their game against the Chiefs next week. The Dolphins could come out flat, but the Patriots will need to execute well to secure a win on the road.
Eagles at Commanders
This is a must-win game for the Eagles as they face a Commanders team that has struggled this season. Jalen Hurts will need to continue his strong play, but the key for the Eagles will be their defense and their ability to pressure the Commanders' quarterback. The Eagles should be able to come away with a victory in this matchup.
Jets at Giants
The MetLife Bowl features two struggling teams, but the Giants may have the edge in this matchup. The Jets offense has been inconsistent and the Giants defense could capitalize on their struggles. While the Giants offense has its own issues, they may find success against the Jets defense.
Saints at Colts
The Colts have been consistent in scoring 20 or more points in every game this season, and the Saints defense will need to step up to contain their offense. The Colts defense, on the other hand, will look to shut down the Saints and capitalize on their mistakes. Look for a competitive game, but the Colts may have the slight advantage at home.
