Alright, shut it down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s cut the lights. Shutter the windows. Patrick Mahomes hurt his knee and will be out for a while and none of us are into this whole NFL thing anymore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn\u2019t matter if the Kansas City Chiefs aren\u2019t your favorite team. It doesn\u2019t even matter if you root for another AFC West squad and you hate them. Mahomes was primed to become the NFL\u2019s Michael Jordan and now he\u2019s sidelined with a dislocated kneecap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that was the good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because it could have been a lot worse. And you can\u2019t even blame his head coach Andy Reid or a dirty player on the Denver Broncos for the injury. It was a freak play on a fourth-and-one QB sneak, one superstar signal-callers run all the time. Tom Brady has made a career out of them and never so much as bruised his smoothie stirrer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mahomes MRI was good, but he\u2019ll miss at least three games. Let\u2019s hope that\u2019s all it is because, like KC or not, we all want to see Kermit fling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Byes: Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ARIZONA CARDINALS AT NEW YORK GIANTS (-3, O\/U: 50.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I would make a joke about this being another classic Kyler Murray vs Daniel Jones match up, but considering these guys are potential franchise quarterbacks, it might not be so funny in a decade. Giants 23, Cardinals 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n HOUSTON TEXANS AT INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (-1, O\/U: 47)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It would be just like Bill O\u2019Brien to lose this game after what should have been a season-defining victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. So, yeah. Bank it. Colts 24, Texans 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MIAMI DOLPHINS AT BUFFALO BILLS (-17, O\/U: 40.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve apparently stepped through some kind of time vortex, because the last time the Bills were 17-point favorites Jim Kelly was firing passes to Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas could still button the collar on his shirt. Bills 20, Dolphins 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MINNESOTA VIKINGS AT DETROIT LIONS (+2, O\/U: 43.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At some point the refs have to stop screwing the Lions like they brought a groupon to the Midnight Bunny Ranch. Lions 27, Vikings 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n OAKLAND RAIDERS AT GREEN BAY PACKERS (-4.5, O\/U: 46.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s a lot of respect from the books for a Raiders team that will lose by two touchdowns Sunday. Packers 38, Raiders 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AT CINCINNATI BENGALS (+3.5, O\/U: 43.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m starting to think Gardner Minshew doesn\u2019t deserve a cult-like following. Also, this is a trap game for bettors and should scare everyone more than anything that happened in the Joker. Jaguars 20, Bengals 19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n LOS ANGELES RAMS AT ATLANTA FALCONS (+3, O\/U: 54.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anybody else want to be a Los Angeles Ram? Any of these Falcons players want to trade jerseys before kickoff? It\u2019s a welcoming place, L.A. Rams 38, Falcons 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS AT WASHINGTON REDSKINS (+9.5, O\/U: 40.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Redskins got their one win, they\u2019re sticking with Case Keenum and Bill Callaham is still the interim head coach. I\u2019ve never been this comfortable picking a game. 49ers 33, Redskins 10<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n LOS ANGELES CHARGERS AT TENNESSEE TITANS (-2.5, O\/U: 41)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here it is, the Anthony Lynn vs Mike Vrabel chess match we\u2019ve all been waiting for. This game will go off-book immediately, as both men will eschew common moves like the Amar Opening or the Evans Gambit and instead go right to sticking the pieces up their noses. Titans 17, Chargers 14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n BALTIMORE RAVENS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (-3, O\/U: 48.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember when I mentioned that the Ravens hadn\u2019t beaten anybody? They still haven\u2019t beaten anybody. Seahawks 27, Ravens 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NEW ORLEANS SAINTS AT CHICAGO BEARS (-4, O\/U: 38)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are usually at least four playoff teams from the previous year who don\u2019t make a return trip. The Bears are looking a lot like one of those squads. Saints 19, Bears 16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PHILADELPHIA EAGLES AT DALLAS COWBOYS (-2.5, O\/U: 48.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s time for Jason Garrett to do that thing he always does for the last decade. As soon as it seems inevitable he\u2019ll either get fired or, at least, not get a new contract, he\u2019ll reel off enough wins to finish 10-6 and make the playoffs. Watch it happen. Cowboys 30, Eagles 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS AT NEW YORK JETS (+10, O\/U: 43.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a game truly deserving of a Booger McFarland color analysis. Patriots 24, Jets 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n AGAINST THE SPREAD: 1-0 Straight up: 8-6<\/p>\n\n\n\n AGAINST THE SPREAD: 6-8 AGAINST THE SPREAD: 47-45 Get the latest NFL football odds and information–follow BetOnline.ag on Twitter<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\nSUNDAY NIGHT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
