Patrick Mahomes is back and Pete Prisco and I actually agree: The Chiefs are going to LOSE to the Titans. Pete hates the fact we're on the same side, but we both think this is a bad matchup, plus Mahomes may still not be 100 percent. R.J. White loves the Chiefs, though, as we break down our picks for every single game and much more.
Playoffs? Don't talk about ... playoffs? You kiddin' me? Actually, as it stands, there are 11 teams in the AFC with a realistic shot at making the postseason, and somehow the Raiders are RIGHT THERE. Bryan DeArdo broke down what needs to happen for Oakland (5-4 after their TNF thriller) to make it, and it might be easier than you think.
The Falcons have allowed four TDs to tight ends in their last four games, and Jared Cook is coming back from injury and has Drew Brees now at QB. That's a nice setup, and Jamey Eisenberg expects a big week from Cook in what could be a monster week for sleeper TEs. Jamey says Mike Gesicki is one who could go off, and he identified more sleepers, too, including these two Jets.

Cody Benjamin breaks down every team's injury report, and says Lamar Jackson should be just fine and Cooper's expected to play, but it isn't so clear for JuJu and Jacoby Brissett.
The Patriots are still the favorites to win Super Bowl LIV, but the gap between them and the rest of the contenders is closing. Cody Benjamin broke down the Westgate's latest Super Bowl odds, which currently favor a Pats-Saints matchup in Miami, but the Chiefs, Niners and Ravens are all just 8-1 or better, and Cody has an interesting question about the Seahawks at 30-1.
Non-contending teams often choose to move on from players who are old, expensive, or on the last year of a contract. Vincent Taylor was none of those things, yet the Dolphins let him go ... luckily for the Bills. Taylor is the eighth alum of Chris Trapasso's Practice Squad Power Rankings to get the call, so who'll it be this week? Chris says it's time for the Eagles to call up his No. 1.
