New England Patriots (3-10) vs Arizona Cardinals (6-7)
This game is my top pick>>>Arizona will run away with this one on their way towards getting back to .500. Even though they have struggled of late to find wins, being at home against the Patriots gives them an avenue towards success. They get to face an injury-riddled secondary and defense, while the Patriots also have to travel across the country. I expect Murray and the Cardinals to bounce back against the awful Patriots who are last in passing yards and yards per completion, 31st in points, and 25th in third-down percentage. The Cardinals have the running game to find balance on the ground and though the air, which will keep New England’s offense off the field as well. Expect an easy win for the Cardinals as they dominate in all facets. New England’s offense has actually been pretty solid in recent games, but they have allowed 25, 34, and 28 points in their last three games. Kyler Murray had some turnover issues last week against Seattle, but I think he is due for a huge game against the New England defense.
Chicago Bears (4-9) vs Minnesota Vikings (11-2
My 2nd Top Pick>>> The last game between these two teams went to overtime, but that won’t be the case here. Sam Darnold is playing the best football of his career and he’s going to have a huge game here. Look for the Vikings to throw the ball all over the Bears' defense and this game is going to get out of control early. As the Vikings aim to secure their seventh straight victory, Monday night’s matchup offers an intriguing blend of high-stakes football and developmental storylines. With Sam Darnold firing on all cylinders and Caleb Williams showing flashes of brilliance, fans can expect an exciting clash between two teams on different trajectories Caleb Williams won’t find a whole lot of success moving the ball, and it’s going to be the Vikings that are going to end up cruising here. I’m on the Vikings here. I get the case to be made for an underdog in some spots, but these are two teams headed in completely different directions. Chicago had a chance for a nice win last week against San Francisco but just shot themselves in the foot once again. Minnesota’s been one of the best in the league this season and I think Minnesota gets a convincing win at home here.
Miami Dolphins (6-7) vs Houston Texans (8-5)
My 3rd Top Pick>>> Miami comes into this matchup after winning four of their last five games and they have scored at least 32 points in three of their last four contests (all at home). The Dolphins are just 2-4 on the road this season, while the Texans are 4-2 at home. Houston has won two of their last three games, but they really haven’t played very well over the last month or so. I don’t like how Houston is playing right now, but it is also very hard to trust the Dolphins on the road. The offense obviously has looked very different with Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback and the passing game alone should give the Dolphins a fighting chance just about every week. But we shouldn't overlook the defense despite coming off a rough outing against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. Miami pass rush can make C.J. Stroud uncomfortable most of the game. The Texans pass protection has been a major issue this season QB gets pressured at a higher rate, and that looks like the key to a Dolphins win here. I do think the Miami offense will be able to operate very well in these conditions and I think they are going to pick up a big win on the road here.
