GOLD JACKET GAME OF THE WEEKDALLAS (7-2) @ KANSAS CITY (6-4), 4:25 p.m. (EST)The line: Chiefs by 2-1/2The weather: Partly cloudy, high of 57The story: Popular wisdom says the Chiefs rediscovered their mojo and are on a Super Bowl trajectory again. Maybe. But this is where we find out. Because this isnt Jordan Love or a Raiders shipwreck in front of them. This may be the best team in the NFC, with all of its bases covered. Dallas can run, pa s, block and play defense. Can we say that about Kansas City? Time to find out.Something to consider: Dak Prescott has 400 yards pa sing and three or more TD pa sing in three of his last four road starts.THREE OTHERS WORTHY OF HALL OF FRAMINGINDIANAPOLIS (5-5) @ BUFFALO (6-3), 1 p.m. (EST)The line: Bills by 7The weather: PM showers, high of 47The story: Dont look now, Buffalo, but that image that is closer than it seems in your rear-view mirror? Yep, its New England. At 7-4, the Pats are in a virtual tie with Buffalo in the AFC East, which makes this game more than meaningful. It makes it indispensable. It wont be easy. The Colts won four of their last five (
Sammy Sosa Jersey an OT lo s to Tenne see was their only lo s), running back Jonathan Taylor is a load and Carson Wentz has resurrected his career. Call this a gut check for Josh Allen and the Bills. The Pats will be watching.Something to consider: Wentz hasnt thrown an interception in seven of his last eight starts.ARIZONA (8-2) @ SEATTLE (3-6), 4:25 p.m. (EST)The line: Cards by 2The weather: Cloudy, high of 47The story: Like New England, Arizona is 5-0 on the road. One
Fergie Jenkins Jersey difference: The Cards won each of their games there by 12 or more points. Thats impre sive. But this may not be the walkover it seems. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins will be mi sing again, and nobody is sure what quarterback Kyler Murrays situation is. He says he thinks he can play, but hes not the coach. Plus theres this: At 3-6, Seattle is in deep kimchi. More than that, theyre dead last in the AFC West. Desperate teams at home are dangerous teams.Something to consider: Chandler Jones 8-1/2 sacks of Ru sell Wilson are his most vs. any quarterback. The Cards have had 25 sacks in the last six games in Seattle, all of Wilson.PITTSBURGH (5-3-1) @ L.A. CHARGERS (5-4), 8:20 p.m. (EST)The line: Chargers by 5-1/2The weather: Partly cloudy, high of 79The story: Maybe Keenan Allen is right. Maybe the
Albert Almora Jr Jersey Chargers should get the ball more to Mike Williams. All I know is that in their first five games he had 31 catches for 471 yards and six TDs. The Chargers were 4-1. But in his last four? Barely visible. Ten catches for 137 yards and no scores. Result: The Bolts were 1-3. Draw your own conclusions. Allen has. With T.J. Watt and Joe Haden mi sing for Pittsburgh, its time for the Bolts to find Mike Williams again.Something to consider: The Steelers Najee Harris has 120 or more scrimmage yards in four of his last five games.OUR BEST BETS(All picks made vs. the spread)RON BORGES Arizona (--2). Betting Kyler Murray (provided he plays) is better than betting Ru sell Wilson (SEASON RECORD: 5-5). RICK GOSSELINTampa Bay (--11). The Bucs are desperate for a win to resume their pursuit of the top NFC seed. Hello, G-Men (SEASON RECORD: 5-4-1).Scroll to ContinueCLARK JUDGE Dallas (+2-1/2). I trust Dak Prescott; I dont trust Travis Kelces beard (SEASON RECORD: 7-3).THEY SAID ITProbably the most beat up Ive been. Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield.Hes the best player who ever walked. N.Y. Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett on Tom Brady. The energy is awesome. Carolina coach Matt Rhule
Kosuke Fukudome Jersey on quarterback Cam Newton.I would be a hypocrite if I didnt agree with what he did. Detroit offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn on coach Dan Campbell taking over play-calling responsibilities.STAT OF THE WEEKSince winning their first three games, the L.A. Rams are 4-3. Their four wins are vs. opponents with a combined record of 7-28-1.STAT OF THE WEEK IIThis is the first time that Baltimores Lamar Jackson plays Chicago. So what? So hes 25-2 when meeting an opponent for the first time. FIVE GUYS TO WATCH1. TYREEK HILL, WR, Kansas City.

He has five TD catches in his last two games vs. Minnesota.TEN THINGS YOU PROBABLY SHOULD KNOW1.

The last time that happened prior to Week 11
Drew Smyly Jersey was 2010 when Green Bay won Super Bowl XLV as a wildcard entry. Over the previous three seasons, the eventual
