The man behind The Grueling Truth - Where Legends Speak

Denver Broncos at Philadelphia Eagles(-7.5)

It is never a good thing to be missing a starting tackle as you get ready to face a fierce pass rush like the Broncos. What the Eagles do have is a defense that will shut down the Broncos offense and in the end Carson Wentz will make enough plays to get it done.

Prediction: Eagles 24 Broncos 13

Los Angeles Rams(-3.5) at New York Giants

The Rams may well be the biggest surprise of the season and the Giants maybe the biggest disappointment.

Prediction: Rams 27 Giants 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints(-6.5)

The Bucs were supposed to be a contender this year and so far they have been far from it. The Saints surprise has been on the defensive side of the ball where they have been very good over the last few weeks.

Prediction: Saints 31 Buccaneers 23

Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars(-5.5)

The Jaguars defensive front will maul the Bengals all day long. The Bengals play uninspired football and they are poorly coached. Put that all together and you have all the ingredients for a butt kicking.

Prediction: Jaguars 34 Bengals 13

Atlanta Falcons(-2.5) at Carolina Panthers

Both of these teams have been hot and cold all year long and that makes this a tough game to predict.

Prediction: Falcons 27 Panthers 24

Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans(-6.5)

Two snake-bitten teams square off in a game that is hard to predict. I will go with Bill O’Brien over Chuck Pagano.

Prediction: Texans 17 Colts 10

Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans(-3.5)

It looks like Flacco will play. With that being said, neither one of these teams has been impressive this year. I will take the Titans to win and the Ravens to cover.
