Broncos at Bills (SPREAD: BUF -3.5)

"I'll take the Broncos +3.5. I like the number here in a game that will be low scoring and 3.5 is a lot of points. Denver got off to that bad 0-4 start and we all sold their stock, but now they're a pretty good football team. Their defense has 19 sacks since Week 6 which is tied for third in the NFL. Their defense is Top 7 in all the categories that matter, and head coach Vic Fangio knows what he's doing. Denver is 3-3 in their last 6 games and have the number two ranked red zone defense in those six games as well, meaning they're going to force you into FIELD GOALS and not touchdowns. Even if they don't win, I think the smart side is betting the number. This is one of my favorites picks and I'm going to go Broncos with an upset, 23-21."

Colin's Pick: Broncos (+3.5)

Giants at Bears (SPREAD: CHI -6)

"I don't like the Giants here, I LOVE the Giants here. Since Week 8, Daniel Jones has 9 touchdowns, one interception, and a 107 passer rating. Jones is playing pretty good football right now. The Giants are coming off a bye, and the Bears look like a broken football team and broken locker room to me. Anybody even notice Khalil Mack anymore? I think he said 'I'M OUT FOR THE YEAR AND NOT GIVING MY BEST'. The Giants off a bye and facing the worst offensive in the league? I'm picking the upset and taking New York and the points, 27-24, Giants win straight up."

Colin's Pick: Giants (+6)

Raiders at Jets (SPREAD: OAK -3.0)

"LOVE the Raiders in this game, I'll take Oakland -3. Big offensive line advantage for the Raiders, who might have the best offensive line in the league, while the Jets have one of the worst. Sam Darnold is always running for his life and it will be no different this week. The Raiders have had the toughest travel schedule in the NFL, have won 5 of their last 7 games, and on the road they are averaging more yards per play than any offense in the league. They have been ROAD WARRIORS. Yards per play is a huge Vegas stat and the sharps and the wiseguys love it. Oakland is also second in the NFL in sacks allowed and don't let you get to Derek Carr, which is why his efficiency is so high. This will be a field position game and the Jets tend to have more turnovers. I like Oakland winning here, 28-23."

Colin's Pick: Raiders (-3)

Seahawks at Eagles (SPREAD: PHI -1.5)

"I'm going to take the points here. Seattle is coming off a bye and the last 6 times they have come off a bye, they've gone 5-1. That's the best record in the NFL the last 6 years, and that's called a Hall of Fame coach getting an extra week to prepare. Philadelphia lost Desean Jackson and has no perimeter speed. Seattle is a different team since they went and got Jadeveon Clowney and Josh Gordon. Russell Wilson is the MVP and is number one in everything that matters. Seattle has rushed for 100 yards in all but one of their games, and that's how the road team takes the crowd out of it when the offense is picking up first downs and keeping the ball away from Carson Wentz. Seattle wins 26-23, and I'll take the Seahawks and the 1.5."

Colin's Pick: Seahawks (+1.5)

Cowboys at Patriots (SPREAD: NE -6.5)

“Mohamed Sanu is out and this is Julian Edelman, 42-year-old Tom Brady, and CROSS YOUR FINGERS. I'm taking Dallas and 6.5. Folks, even if New England wins, this is not a shootout game. It's going to be low scoring and 6.5 points is a TON of points in a game I think could be 24-20. The Patriots defense has come back down to earth since Week 8 because they're playing quarterbacks who can actually play. They're 31st in rushing yards allowed, 11th in total yards allowed, and 12th in points allowed per game, and the Cowboys are averaging over 32 points since Week 9, which is Top 3 in the NFL. New England has no vertical threat. This will be a low scoring game and I'm going to call for the Cowboys to score a touchdown late, win straight up, and cover EASILY, 32-23."

Colin's Pick: Dallas (+6.5)
