Games

49ers v
Giants

The 49ers won't stop with their reign of Touchdowns and the Giants are facing them this week. Despite the Giants having a great comeback last week against the Cardinals, I believe it won't be enough to stop the 49ers.

MAXE PICK: SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Confidence level: 74%

FINAL SCORE: NEW YORK GIANTS 12 - 30 SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

Lions v
Falcons

Both teams caught me off guard last week. The Lions losing against the Seahawks and the Falcons overcoming with a win at Lambeau Field against the Packers really makes me skeptical about this pick. The Falcons are visiting the Lions, another divisional rival from the Packers. Could the Falcons reign over the NFC North? Maybe, but I'm picking the Lions on this one.

MAXE PICK: DETROIT LIONS

Confidence level: 54%

FINAL SCORE: DETROIT LIONS 20 - 6  ATLANTA FALCONS

Vikings v
Chargers

Both teams are struggling to get their first win, in the last couple of weeks, both teams scored a lot of points, meaning that their offenses are working efficiently... however, it hasn't been enough to get a W. This game, in particular, is going to be a game with a lot of points. Who's got what it takes to get their first win? I'll take Kirk Cousins and the Vikings.

MAXE PICK: MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Confidence level: 68%

FINAL SCORE: MINNESOTA VIKINGS 24 - 28 LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

Packers v
Saints

The Green Bay Packers are receiving an undefeated team at Lambeau Field. Last week the Green Bay Packers lost a 12-point lead over the Falcons. The Saints, despite being undefeated, I think that they do not have a team that is worth fearing. Jordan Love is still trying to get comfortable on the field, however, it's going to be a challenge for Derek Carr and the Saints.

MAXE PICK: GREEN BAY PACKERS

Confidence level: 84%

FINAL SCORE: GREEN BAY PACKERS 18 - 17 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Jaguars v
Texans

Jacksonville has a great team, and we can't blame them for losing last week against the current champions: the Kansas City Chiefs. On the other hand, the Texans have a long way to go.

MAXE PICK: JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Confidence level: 87%

FINAL SCORE: JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 17 -37 HOUSTON TEXANS

Dolphins v
Broncos

Russell Wilson, I think you can still get the best of the Broncos but I don't see any signs that you want to. Miami is coming strong this year, maybe this will be a long game for the Broncos.

MAXE PICK: MIAMI DOLPHINS

Confidence level: 91%

FINAL SCORE: MIAMI DOLPHINS 70 - 20 DENVER BRONCOS

Browns v
Titans

With Nick Chub out of the season, one would think that the Browns' offensive game is done, but it is not! Jerome Ford's performance last week in the game against the Steelers was good for me. And the Titans overcame against the Chargers in OT. In this game is difficult to pick a solid winner, anything could happen. UPDATE: Browns signed former HB Kareem Hunt.

MAXE PICK: CLEVELAND BROWNS

Confidence level: 57%

FINAL SCORE: CLEVELAND BROWNS 27 - 3 TENNESSEE TITANS

Commanders v
Bills

Last week, Josh Allen showed us what he's still made of. He gotta keep that momentum to stay ahead of the AFC contenders. Could Sam Howell and the Commanders upset Josh Allen and the Bills?

MAXE PICK: BUFFALO BILLS

Confidence level: 92%

FINAL SCORE: WASHINGTON COMMANDERS 3 - 37 BUFFALO BILLS

Ravens v
Colts

The Ravens' game is pretty solid so far that I really don't think that the Colts could be a menace for them.

MAXE PICK: BALTIMORE RAVENS

Confidence level: 93%

FINAL SCORE: BALTIMORE RAVENS 19 - 22 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Jets v
Patriots

This is another game that will be pretty close. The Patriots are visiting New York to face a new Jets. Could Zach Wilson stand against Bill Belichick and the Patriots? 

MAXE PICK: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Confidence level: 66%

FINAL SCORE: NEW YORK JETS 10 - 15 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

Seahawks v
Panthers

In the last Panthers' game, I believe that I saw Bryce Young a little bit confused, maybe with no idea how to play. I know that it's his first year in the NFL, but I think that he could do much better.

Geno Smith proved me wrong last week against the Lions, they are still with this desire to win and this game is perfect for the Seahawks to prove that they want to be in playoffs.

MAXE PICK: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Confidence level: 86%

FINAL SCORE: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 37 - 27 CAROLINA PANTHERS

Chiefs v
Bears

No offense to any Bears fans, but I think that the Bears in order to challenge the Chiefs, will need to work very very hard.

MAXE PICK: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Confidence level: 95%

FINAL SCORE: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 41 - 10 CHICAGO BEARS

Cardinals v
Cowboys

The undefeated Cowboys are visiting Arizona looking to upset the Cardinals. Last week, the Cardinals lost the game against one of the Cowboys' divisional rivals: the New York Giants. The Cowboys won against the Giants in the first game 40 - 0. This will be a very challenging game for the Cardinals, but be careful, Cowboys, this is the NFL and anything could happen.

MAXE PICK: DALLAS COWBOYS

Confidence level: 85%

FINAL SCORE: ARIZONA CARDINALS 28 - 16 DALLAS COWBOYS

Raiders v
Steelers

In my opinion, this game will be with few scoring points for both teams. Jimmy Garoppolo's performance last week didn't surprise me, and the Steelers struggled a little to win over the Browns. Will the Steelers' Defense have another great game in Las Vegas?

MAXE PICK: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Confidence level: 45%

FINAL SCORE: LAS VEGAS RAIDERS 18 - 23 PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Buccaneers v
Eagles

Baker Mayfield is excellent at making his rivals uncomfortable. It wouldn't surprise me that the Buccaneers could win this one, also they are playing in Tampa Bay. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are still with a great team like they did last year.

MAXE PICK: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Confidence level: 70%

FINAL SCORE: TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS 11 - 25 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Bengals v
Rams

Stafford vs. Burrow #2! This one is going to be an exciting game. Joe Burrow's performance has us with a lot of doubts. Did being overpaid affect his performance for the rest of the season? For me, the Rams are taking over the Bengals, again.
MAXE PICK: LOS ANGELES RAMS
Confidence level: 61%

FINAL SCORE: CINCINNATI BENGALS 19 - 16 LOS ANGELES RAMS
