Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys Prediction
The Eagles enter play in the midst of a win streak but will likely be without Jalen Hurts, who’s dealing with an injury. They have enough depth to still pull off the upset, but winning on Saturday will prove to be a challenge.
The Cowboys have also played well as of late and are fresh off of a defeat at the hands of the Jaguars. They will attempt to jump back into the win column against a very talented team.
Both the Eagles and Cowboys rank within the top 10 in points per game. They also both feature notable passing attacks and strong rushing games. And with the potential absence of Hurts on Saturday, the Eagles’ rushing game will be especially important.
Both teams feature strong defenses as well. The Eagles and Cowboys are within the top 10 in points against per game and top 10 total yards per game. They are also first and record in sacks in the NFL.
The Eagles will have a chance to upset the odds in this game. Go ahead and take a chance on Philadelphia.

Green Bay Packers at Miami Dolphins Prediction
The Green Bay Packers (6-8) and Miami Dolphins (8-6) will square off this weekend.
The Packers have won two games in a row and three of their past five overall. With the playoffs right around the corner, Green Bay basically has to win out in order to sneak into the postseason.
Miami enters play with a better record than Green Bay. However, they are trending in a different direction, as they have dropped three straight games. It should be noted that the Dolphins have played three quality teams in their past three games.
On the season, Green Bay is 20th in points per game, while Miami is ninth in points per game. The Packers are 15th in yards per game, and Miami is fourth in yards per contest.
Green Bay enters this game ranked 15th in points against per game, and the Dolphins are 26th in total yards per game. Green Bay’s defense has been mediocre, while the Dolphins’ defensive unit has been their downfall.
In the end, this should be a fun game to watch, but I like the Packers’ chances of getting the job done and covering the spread.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Arizona Cardinals Prediction
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-8) and Arizona Cardinals (4-10) will go head-to-head this weekend.
The Bucs enter this game as convincing favorites, but they have dropped two games in a row heading into this matchup.
The Cardinals have lost four games in a row heading into the weekend. Arizona has struggled and was most recently defeated by the Broncos.
Tampa Bay is just 28th in points per game, while Arizona is 18th. They have been both mediocre in terms of attaining yards per contest.
From a defensive standpoint, the Buccaneers are 10th in points against per game. The Cardinals are dead last in points against, this year.
With a struggling offense and a lackluster overall defense, the Cardinals’ chances of upsetting the odds are slim. Go ahead and roll with the Buccaneers.

Los Angeles Chargers at Indianapolis Colts Prediction
The Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) and Indianapolis Colts (4-9-1) will battle this weekend.
The Chargers have won back-to-back contests and three of their past five games. They most recently defeated the Titans by a final score of 17-14.
The Colts have dropped four of their past five games heading into the game. They are fresh off a game that saw them blow a 30-point plus lead to the Vikings. Additionally, running back Jonathan Taylor is expected to miss the remainder of the year.
The Colts feature some upset potential at home, but the Chargers will be confident in their chances of winning this pivotal game.
The Chargers are 14th in points per game and 11th in total yards per game. Meanwhile, the Colts are 29th in points per game and 23rd in total yards per game.
However, both the Colts’ and Chargers’ defenses are both towards the bottom of the NFL in points against per game.
The Chargers are the team to beat without question. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Indianapolis make things interesting but roll with L.A. in this one.
