BY ADAM GREENE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A week after getting spanked like they paid for it off Craigslist by the Baltimore Ravens, the Houston Texans decided to play real football and took control of the AFC South with 20-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts Thursday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colts have been solid on defense all season and Frank Reich, having this team competitive at all after the surprise retirement of Andrew Luck deserves Coach of the Year consideration, but maybe you play defense against Will Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins? How do both guys have all-world days at the same time. Fuller caught seven passes for 140 yards and Hopkins caught and two touchdowns. Did Indy field a safety Thursday night? I\u2019d review the game film, but I\u2019m not into true crime documentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s make some picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Byes<\/strong>: Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Chargers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

MIAMI DOLPHINS AT CLEVELAND BROWNS (-10.5, O\/U: 45.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dolphins have won two of their last three and put up 20 points against the Bills defense last week. The Browns just lost their best defensive player for the rest of the season because he tried to use his helmet as a battle ax. I don\u2019t like this line. BROWNS 20, DOLPHINS 17<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DENVER BRONCOS AT BUFFALO BILLS (-4, O\/U: 37)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of the Bills, they\u2019ve sneaked into the playoff conversation and since they play in the garbage AFC East, they\u2019ll likely stay in it. Meanwhile, the Broncos are on their sixth starting quarterback since 2017 and are referring to their current guy, Brandon Allen, as \u201ca gamer.\u201d Which is sports speak for being a good dude that\u2019s bad at his job. BILLS 23, BRONCOS 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PITTSBURGH STEELERS AT CINCINNATI BENGALS (+6.5, O\/U: 38)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mason Rudolph was the only guy from the melee last week that didn\u2019t get suspended, so I guess getting your forehead caved in by a Schutt Vengeance Z10 was punishment enough. The Bengals aren\u2019t going 0-16 and this looks like a prime upset to me. BENGALS 20, STEELERS 17<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW YORK GIANTS AT CHICAGO BEARS (-6, O\/U: 39.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Word is that Mitchell Trubisky is getting the start so that makes what I\u2019m about to write even harder to believe. BEARS 20, GIANTS 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OAKLAND RAIDERS AT NEW YORK JETS (+3, O\/U: 46.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everybody wrote the Jets off just as they\u2019ve turned the corner to be a bad team as opposed to being a complete garbage team. Adam Gase\u2026 making progress. JETS 17, RAIDERS 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAROLINA PANTHERS AT NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (-10, O\/U: 47)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember when everyone was ready to run Cam Newton out of Charlotte and fit Kyle Allen for his gold Hall of Fame jacket? SAINTS 35, PANTHERS 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS AT ATLANTA FALCONS (-3.5, O\/U: 51)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Quinn is going to keep this up and accidentally save his job. FALCONS 31, BUCS 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DETROIT LIONS AT WASHINGTON REDSKINS (+3.5, O\/U: 40.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re blessed with another classic Jeff Driskal versus Dwayne Haskins quarterback duel. Queue up your Sunday Ticket or reserve your Buffalo Wild Wings booth and just appreciate the history. REDSKINS 16, LIONS 13<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (PICK-EM, O\/U: 48)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagles defense can\u2019t look that bad two weeks in a row, can it? Russell Wilson is angling for an MVP, but this is long coast-to-coast trip and an early game against an underperforming, but decent team. Ultimately, this is the exact time of the year the Eagles start their playoff push. EAGLES 27, SEAHAWKS 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AT TENNESSEE TITANS (-3.5, O\/U: 41.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Titans are coming their biggest win of the season over the Chiefs. The Jags are coming off laying a turd against the Colts with Nick Foles back at QB. Usually, that would be a recipe for disaster\u2026 for the Titans. I\u2019m not feeling it this time. I\u2019ve bought into Ryan Tannehill and I think Tennessee has to. TITANS 24, JAGUARS 20<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DALLAS COWBOYS AT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (-6.5, O\/U: 45)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the biggest factor at play here? The Patriots making their home field playoff push or Jason Garrett\u2019s miraculous ability to win in November and December and keep a job? COWBOYS 31, PATRIOTS 27<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUNDAY NIGHT<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (-3, O\/U: 47.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 49ers have played a schedule so full of cupcakes the entire roster is danger of contracting Type 2 diabetes. Not this week. PACKERS 34, 49ERS 24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MONDAY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

BALTIMORE RAVENS AT LOS ANGELES RAMS (+3, O\/U: 46.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only thing the NFL media is more excited about than the performance of Lamar Jackson this season is writing the \u201cWhat happened to Lamar Jackson?\u201d headline after Baltimore loses this game. RAMS 24, RAVENS 16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS WEEK<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

STRAIGHT UP: 1-0
AGAINST THE SPREAD: 1-0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LAST WEEK<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
