Every game outcome picks take
1–25 of 2,021
Kansas City Chiefs to win
Mike Florio evaluates the upcoming Indianapolis Colts vs. Kansas City Chiefs game, and why Patrick Mahomes and Kenneth Walker are the pair to push the team to the win.
- PendingMark Morales-SmithGame Outcome Picks
San Francisco 49ers to win
he'll face off in a much better matchup against the Miami Dolphins, which will in all likelihood be a blowout ... a game they had locked up before they even stepped in the building
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 17, 2026 - PendingMark Morales-SmithGame Outcome Picks
Green Bay Packers to win
The Packers are going to torch the Jets in Green Bay, and with a shaky rushing attack and Josh Jacobs sidelined, they are going to be forced to do it through the air for the majority of the game.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 17, 2026 Baltimore Ravens to win
Breech has Josh Allen and the Bills reaching the AFC Championship again... The Ravens are simply too much. ... The Bills end up losing here because their defense can't stop Baltimore's offense.
Jacksonville Jaguars to win
Jacksonville Jaguars (+2.5) at Denver Broncos ... Meanwhile, going into Denver and pulling out a win isn't foreign to the Jaguars.
New York Jets to win
Green Bay Packers at New York Jets (+3.5) ... Provided he keeps it clean again and doesn't make Green Bay's life easier, New York could mess around as a home dog and win outright.
New Orleans Saints to win
New Orleans Saints (+8.5) at Baltimore Ravens ... If this turns into another shootout, Shough has shown he can at least hang around. I also wonder if this is quietly a look-ahead spot for Baltimore
Detroit Lions to win
Detroit Lions (+4.5) at Buffalo Bills ... identified five favorites that could be on upset alert. ... If he can get rolling and help Detroit win the time-of-possession battle, it could go a long way toward helping the defense limit Josh Allen's impact.
Cincinnati Bengals to win
Cincinnati Bengals (+3) at Houston Texans ... If this is an early indication that the unit may regress (even slightly) from their stellar production last season, the Bengals could be live.
Detroit Lions to win
I like the Lions to cover. I like the Lions to win.
San Francisco 49ers to win
I don't have high hopes. I like the Niners in dominant fashion in this game.
Dallas Cowboys to win
I'm going to go with the Dallas Cowboys. Because they're the more talented. They're the better team.
Carolina Panthers to win
I got the Carolina Panthers winning that game.
Buffalo Bills to win
I got the Buffalo Bills in this one. I'm sorry, Detroit.
Chicago Bears to win
I, too, like the Bears... I think they continue this.
Philadelphia Eagles to win
Richard's got the Philadelphia Eagles easily over the Tennessee Titans.
Seattle Seahawks to win
I, too, like Seattle to win this game. I think they take care of the Red Hot Cardinals and move on to 2-0.
Baltimore Ravens to win
I don't think they're beating the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry this week.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win
Cleveland Browns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Does this even warrant anything more than a Bucs? / Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Los Angeles Rams to win
I think the Rams are going to win this one.
Las Vegas Raiders to win
I got the Raiders winning this. The Chargers didn't show me anything that I needed to see.
New England Patriots to win
I know New England's the favorite... So... I... See you in New England. I got New England.
Green Bay Packers to win
I do. I expect them to win, but I'm rooting for Geno... I'm not sure they have enough to stop Jordan Love and this Packers offense.
Jacksonville Jaguars to win
But I like Jacksonville. I'm right there with you. And I like them to win by at least a touchdown, honestly.
Kansas City Chiefs to win
I got the Chiefs taking care of business handily against this Indianapolis Colts team.
