This is for all the marbles in the conference, with two of the AFC's more-storied franchises battling it out to get the Super Bowl. The Steelers are now on the heels of nine straight wins and they are peaking heading into this matchup. New England didn't necessarily shine in their Saturday win over the Texans, but one should expect a closer-to-vintage performance from Tom Brady, who will be playing in his 10th AFC title game.

Or will the Pats put together another master-plan to stymie their opponent and make yet another Super Bowl appearance? Loot offers his ATS take here. (6:40PM EST) - 1/22
Green Bay Packers vs. Atlanta Falcons Pick - In the NFC Championship Game, the Green Bay Packers face the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. To get to this spot on the precipice of a Super Bowl berth, the Falcons smashed the Seahawks on Saturday, while the Packers needed some late dramatics to upend the conference's top seed in the Cowboys on Sunday.

The Steelers overcame some issues this season and have now won eight straight entering a tough road spot here against a good Chiefs team. The Chiefs had a first-round playoff bye and look to continue doing what they do best and that's winning. It might not always be easy to explain how the Chiefs win at such a high clip, but they do. The Steelers, meanwhile, beat up on Miami on Sunday and look to keep it rolling at Arrowhead. Will they hit a wall? Or will they be too much for the Chiefs? Who gets to the AFC title game? Loot offers his breakdown here. (8:15PM EST) - 1/15
Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick - The Green Bay Packers come to AT&T Stadium on Sunday to face the NFC's top-seed in the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC divisional playoff matchup. The Cowboys lost to only two teams this season, riding the backs of rookie combo Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott along with an improved defense to a 13-3 record. But standing in their way is the conference's hottest team in the Green Bay Packers, fresh off a dominant win over the Giants in the wild card round. Can Green Bay continue to roll and will their greater experience show? Or will Dallas show the form that led to them becoming a top contender in the NFC? Loot offers his ATS advice here! (4:40PM EST) - 1/15
Houston Texans vs. New England Patriots Pick - The Houston Texans come to Gillette Stadium to take on the AFC's top-seed in the New England Patriots on Saturday in the AFC divisional playoffs. Houston dominated Oakland to get to this spot, but are large underdogs to a 14-2 Pats' bunch that shut them out earlier this season without Tom Brady. Can Houston hang in there, as they tend to do with a league's top-rated defense? Or will the Pats make a statement as they push for yet another Super Bowl berth. Loot offers his take here! (8:15PM EST) - 1/14
Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons Pick - The Seattle Seahawks come to the Georgia Dome on Saturday for an NFC divisional playoff matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Seattle wasn't really looked at as a serious contender late in the season, but they sure looked like a vintage Seattle postseason team on Saturday with a comprehensive win over the Lions. The Falcons, meanwhile, got a first-round bye and are ready to unleash their top-ranked offense on the conference's best. Will Seattle's proven and stout defense be able to thrive in this tough playoff road setting? And with their offense showing a lot of life against Detroit, will Seattle be able to put up points against an improved, but still-dicey Atlanta "D?" The questions are abound. Loot tries to answer some of them here. (4:35PM EST) - 1/14
New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers Pick - The New York Giants come to Lambeau Field on what figures to be a typical wintry day in Wisconsin to face the Green Bay Packers in NFC Wild Card Playoff action on Sunday. Both teams finished the season in hot form. The Packers overcame a 4-6 start with a 6-game win streak to end the season. Meanwhile, a suddenly-stout defense has the Giants looking like a legit contender. They will need to do it on the road against a peaking Packers bunch. Can the Giants start another of their patented deep playoff runs from the wild card? Or will the Packers get it done in the cold of Lambeau? Loot breaks it down here. (4:40PM EST) - 1/8
Miami Dolphins vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick - The Miami Dolphins meet the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card round of the playoffs on Sunday at Heinz Field. Both teams had to overcome a lot to get here. Miami overcame a 1-4 start to win 9 of their next 11 games to get to this spot. The Steelers, meanwhile, overcame a tough start to win 7 in a row leading into this playoff game. Miami is also dealing with QB issues, with backup Matt Moore behind center. Can they come up with the big upset in Pittsburgh after working so hard to get here? Or will the Steelers continue rolling at home? Loot chimes in with his guidance here. (1:05PM EST) - 1/7
Detroit Lions vs. Seattle Seahawks Pick - In the Wild Card round of the NFC playoffs on Saturday, the Detroit Lions come to the northwest to face the Seattle Seahawks, the champions of the NFC West. Detroit lost three straight games to end the season, but remain a potentially dangerous opponent for a Seattle team that hasn't looked that hot coming down the stretch. Can the streaky Lions rediscover their form on Saturday and score the big road win? Or will the Seahawks kick it up a gear with all their postseason experience and start a deep playoff run? Loot offers his take in this article. (8:15PM EST) - 1/7
Oakland Raiders vs. Houston Texans Pick - The NFL Playoffs begins with an AFC Wild Card game with the Oakland Raiders coming to NRG Stadium to face the Houston Texans on Saturday. Neither team is really at a high-point heading into the postseason. Houston won their division despite giving up more points than they've scored. They are better at home, having posted a 7-1 record at NRG Stadium. They face an Oakland team that is suddenly facing issues at quarterback and was unable to show their previous fire in a week 17 loss to Denver with a lot on the line. Can they come up with something for this game? Or will Houston grind their way to another win at home? Loot offers his take in this article, with his ATS selection. (4:35PM EST) - 1/7
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Pick - The Green Bay Packers come to Ford Field to face the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football in a huge NFC North matchup.

(8:30PM EST) - 1/1
Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos Pick - In week 17 AFC West action on Sunday, the Oakland Raiders come into Mile High to take on the Denver Broncos.

Loot breaks down the game here. (4:25PM EST) - 1/1
New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins Pick - In a big week 17 NFC East battle, the New York Giants come to FedEx Field to take on the Washington Redskins. The Giants are already locked into the 5-seed in the playoffs. The Redskins, meanwhile, are looking to win their way in, which they would do with a victory on Sunday against New York. Can the Giants spoil things for the 'Skins or will they phone it in with nothing to play for? And can the Redskins react to a high-pressure must-win game at home? Loot breaks down the game in this article. (4:25PM EST) - 1/1
Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Diego Chargers Pick - On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Diego Chargers in week 17 AFC West action. Kansas City is in the playoffs and can still win the division, especially with the Raiders now in a state of peril. They will be on the road against a Chargers team that might be playing their last game in San Diego. But after being the first team to lose to the Browns last week, it's not all that clear that it really matters. Who can cover the spread in what might be the last game ever at Qualcomm Stadium? (4:25PM EST) - 1/1
New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins Pick - The New England Patriots come to Hard Rock Stadium on week 17 to face the Miami Dolphins. Both teams are guaranteed to be in the postseason. But New England is still playing for the top seed in the conference and needing only one win to get to the AFC title game, they'd love for that game to be at home. Miami would also like to get QB Matt Moore some more momentum as they prepare for a postseason run after getting to 10-5 following a 1-4 start to the season. Who can get the job done in South Beach? (1PM EST) - 1/1
Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets Prediction - The Buffalo Bills come to MetLife Stadium for week 17 action with the Buffalo Bills. While the season ends for both teams in this game, it's an interesting contest between a Bills team looking to get to .500 after an up-and-down season and a spiraling Jets squad. Do the Jets have enough left in the tank to hold off Buffalo or will the Bills romp and give Rex Ryan a good send-off? Loot offers his take here. (1PM EST) - 1/1
Detroit Lions vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick - On Monday Night Football, a pair of first-place teams duke it out at AT&T Stadium, as the Detroit Lions visit the 12-2 Dallas Cowboys. Detroit's position is not all that cemented with a narrow lead on Green Bay and a week 17 game with their divisional rival looming. Dallas, meanwhile, is looking good at 12-2, but a late-season let-up could be costly. Which team can get the win and cover on MNF? Loot breaks down the game here and offers his wagering guidance. (8:30PM EST) - 12/26
Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs - On Sunday Night Football on Christmas, the Denver Broncos go into Arrowhead Stadium for a big AFC West showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick - The Baltimore Ravens come to Heinz Field on Christmas Day to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's a big game with the AFC North possibly in the balance. Pittsburgh holds a one-game lead, but a Baltimore win would give them the season-sweep against the Steelers and put them a win from taking the division. So expect both teams to be shot from a cannon on Xmas. Who can get the upper hand? Loot breaks it down here. (4:30PM EST) - 12/25
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans Pick - On Saturday Night Football from NRG Stadium, the Cincinnati Bengals face the Houston Texans. The 2016 season has not been kind to the Bengals, but over the past several weeks, they have shown they are still into it mentally. For the Texans, they are tied for first in the AFC South and need to keep winning to keep their postseason hopes alive. They will be moving forward after a QB change, as Brock Osweiler is out and Tom Savage is in. Will the change resonate well? Or can Cincy play the role of spoiler? Loot posits his take here. (8:30PM EST) - 12/24
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New Orleans Saints Pick - On Saturday from the Superdome, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the New Orleans Saints in a key week 16 NFC South matchup. The Saints are out of it as far as playoffs go, but still have some life as they showed in their 48-41 road win over Arizona on Sunday. Tampa looks to bounce back from their tough loss to the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, with Atlanta now holding a one-game lead in the division. Who can get the job done and cover the spread in this one. Check out this article for Loot's ATS take. (4:25PM EST) - 12/24
Indianapolis Colts vs. Oakland Raiders Pick - On Saturday in a big week 16 matchup, the Indianapolis Colts come out west to take on the Oakland Raiders. The Colts are still in there with a shot, but they need to win out and hope for the best. They certainly looked good on Sunday with a 34-6 road win over the Vikings. Oakland, meanwhile, is sitting pretty at 11-3 with a first place hold on the AFC West, but things could change if they get sloppy down the home stretch of the regular season. Loot breaks down this matchup and offers his ATS pick here. (4:05PM EST) - 12/24
Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers Pick - On Saturday in NFC North action, the Minnesota Vikings come to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers.

Loot breaks down the game in this article. (1PM EST) - 12/24
Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills Pick - The Miami Dolphins come into New Era Field on Sunday to take on the Buffalo Bills in week 16 Saturday AFC East action. Buffalo is on the outside looking in at 7-7, but showed some signs of life with a 20-point win on Sunday. Miami is 8-1 in their last nine games, but with Matt Moore behind center, there are questions about how viable they will be moving forward. This should be a more-rigid test this week for Miami after scoring an easy win over the Jets on Saturday. Who will shine in the cold of Buffalo this Saturday? (1PM EST) - 12/24
Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers Pick - In NFC South action from Charlotte, the Atlanta Falcons come to take on the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons hold on to a tenuous 1-game lead in the division, but need to keep winning to insure their postseason slot with Tampa right on their heels. To maintain their position, they will have to go on the road and beat a Panthers team that might be out of it, but is still trying hard. On MNF, the Panthers upset the playoff hopes of the Redskins and look to do so again this week. Who can get the job done at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday? (1PM EST) - 12/24
New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles Pick - On Thursday Night Football, the New York Giants come into Lincoln Financial Field to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC East battle. Things have gone completely south for the Eagles, with a 2-9 record in their last 11 games. On Sunday, they gave the Ravens a good battle on the road with a 1-point loss. They will need that scrappiness against a 10-win Giants team that has their sights set on the postseason. Who can notch the cover on Thursday in the City of Brotherly Love? Loot offers his take here. (8:25PM EST) - 12/22
Carolina Panthers vs. Washington Redskins Pick - The Carolina Panthers come to Fed Ex Field to take on the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. This season hasn't gone according to plan for the defending conference champion Panthers, but with 4 wins in 6 games, they're at least showing they won't fade quietly this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come into Arlington to face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Tampa has won five games in a row to go from a 3-5 afterthought to an 8-5 contender tied for first in the NFC South. Dallas saw their 11-game win streak ended on Sunday and after not covering the spread for three straight weeks, they should be looking to get back on the winning track at home on Sunday night. It won't be easy against a hot Bucs squad. So who gets the cover on Sunday night? Loot posits his ATS take here. (8:30PM EST) -12/18
New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos Pick - On Sunday in key week 15 AFC action from Mile High, the New England Patriots face the Denver Broncos. After losing touch with KC and Oakland in the AFC West race, the Broncos now look to put their postseason case together. But to do so, they must beat the top team in the conference heading into town.

Can the Broncos score the huge win at home or will the Pats again remind us why they are the top contender in the AFC? Loot gives his take here (4:25PM EST) - 12/18
Oakland Raiders vs. San Diego Chargers Pick - In AFC West action from Qualcomm Stadium, the Oakland Raiders take on the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

Loot gives his take in this article. (4:25PM EST) - 12/18
Tennessee Titans vs. Kansas City Chiefs Pick - The Tennessee Titans come to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. This is a critical game in the AFC. The Chiefs are on a nice roll, but can't let their foot off the gas in a hectic AFC West. The Titans have won 6 of their last 9 games and at 7-6, they also have a postseason picture to play for. Can Tennessee get it done at Arrowhead? Or will a Chiefs team that has won 20 of their last 23 regular season games get it done at home? And who will notch the cover this week? (1PM EST) - 12/18
Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears Pick - The Green Bay Packers come to Soldier Field on Sunday looking for their 4th straight win against the Chicago Bears. The Packers put a bad stretch behind them with three straight wins, including a blowout over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Loot offers his take here. (1PM EST) - 12/18

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals Pick - On Sunday in AFC North action from Paul Brown Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

Miami Dolphins vs. New York Jets Pick - The Miami Dolphins come to MetLife Stadium on Saturday to face the New York Jets. Miami is on a nice roll, but now faces an uncertain future with Ryan Tannehill knocked out for the rest of the season. Luckily for them, their first test without Tannehill isn't the most-demanding one, facing a Jets team they've already beaten this season. But the Jets have been showing some fight is still left in their bones, with a come-from-behind win over the 49ers on Sunday. Who can get the cover in East Rutherford this Saturday? Loot breaks the game down here. (8:25PM EST) - 12/17
Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks Pick - On Thursday Night Football, the Los Angeles Rams come into CenturyLink Field to face the Seattle Seahawks in NFC West action. Both teams were beaten badly on Sunday. The Rams saw their coach fired after being extended, which is pretty indicative of the dysfunction going on in LA. Seattle is looking to get back on the winning track to build up some momentum for the postseason and would like to atone for an earlier 9-6 loss this season in LA. The Rams, meanwhile, have been showing less and less resistance lately, as they were coldcocked by the Falcons at home on Sunday in ugly fashion to lose for the 8th time in 9 games.

Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants Pick - In a big NFC East battle, the Dallas Cowboys come to MetLife Stadium to face the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.

(8:30PM EST) - 12/11
Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers Pick - The Seattle Seahawks come to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. It should be nippy in Green Bay, as the Packers look to make it three in a row and nose themselves more into the playoff picture.

(1PM EST) - 12/11
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns Pick - On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals come to FirstEnergy Stadium to take on the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals finally notched a win on Sunday, looking a lot like the team many suspected to see this season. They look for another win this week against a Cleveland team that has gone winless in their first 12 games of the season. Can the Browns notch the elusive cover at home or are they out of answers? Can Cincy keep the good momentum rolling? Loot breaks down the game here. (1PM EST) - 12/11
Minnesota Vikings vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Pick - The Minnesota Vikings come to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in week 14 action.

Who can get the cover at EverBank Stadium on Sunday? Loot breaks it down here. (1PM EST) - 12/11
Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs Pick - On Thursday Night Football, the AFC West takes center stage with the first place Oakland Raiders taking on the second place Kansas City Chiefs.

Indianapolis Colts vs. New York Jets Pick - On Monday Night Football, the Indianapolis Colts come to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Jets.

Who can get the cover and help us end our week on a good note? Loot gives his two cents here. (8:30PM EST) - 12/5
Carolina Panthers vs. Seattle Seahawks Pick - The Carolina Panthers come to CenturyLink to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. Neither team did well in their last game. Seattle, however, still holds onto first place in the NFC West, but they look to get back on the winning track at home after an ugly 14-5 loss to Tampa last week. The Panthers are up against the wall now, as the defending conference champions have exhausted all margin for error. They gave it a good go, but fell on the road to Oakland, 35-32, on Sunday and really need this one. Who can get the cover this week? (8:30PM EST) - 12/4
Washington Redskins vs. Arizona Cardinals Pick - The Washington Redskins come to University of Phoenix Stadium on Sunday to face the Arizona Cardinals. Washington needs to put together some wins, as Dallas looks out of reach in their division after the Cowboys completed the season sweep of the 'Skins on Thanksgiving. Arizona is sitting at 4-6-1 and they have no margin for error moving forward. Will the extra urgency resonate with a Cardinals team that hasn't seen things click? Or will the Redskins get back on the winning track with their high-flying aerial offense? (4:25PM EST) - 12/4
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. San Diego Chargers Pick - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers come to Qualcomm Stadium to face the San Diego Chargers in week 13 action. The Bucs have fought their way back into the NFC South race with three straight wins where both sides of the ball are showing improved play.

On Sunday, the Bolts won on the road against Houston and looks to get to .500 this week against the incoming Bucs. Who can cover the spread in this one? (4:25PM EST) - 12/4
New York Giants vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick - On Sunday, the New York Giants come to Heinz Field to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Giants have won 6 games in a row and look to add to their resume with a big road win over the Steelers this week.

Still, the Steelers are tied atop their division and look for the big home win this week. Who can get the cover this week? (4:25PM EST) - 12/4
Buffalo Bills vs. Oakland Raiders Pick - The Buffalo Bills make the long trip out west to face the streaking Oakland Raiders in Sunday week 13 action. The Raiders are now 9-2 after winning their fifth in a row last week, as they are now in control in the AFC West.

The Eagles lost their first game of the season in a squeaker to Detroit last week and look to reclaim their winning ways against the streaking Redskins.

(1PM EST) - 10/16
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Miami Dolphins Pick - The Pittsburgh Steelers come to Hard Rock Stadium to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. It's been a rough start for Miami at 1-4 and they look for a positive development at home against a 4-1 Steelers team.

(1PM EST) - 10/16
Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints Pick - In NFC South action from the Superdome, the Carolina Panthers come into town to face the New Orleans Saints.

Loot offers his wagering advice here. (1PM EST) - 10/16

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears Pick - The Jacksonville Jaguars come to Soldier Field on Sunday to face the Chicago Bears. Neither team has thrived this season, as each squad enters this matchup with one win.

Chicago has also seen their offense take off a bit with Brian Hoyer and rookie back Jordan Howard. Who does Loot like to cover the spread in this one? (1PM EST) - 10/16
Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers Pick - In AFC West action on Thursday Night Football, the Denver Broncos come to Qualcomm Stadium to face the San Diego Chargers. Without Trevor Siemian starting, the Broncos fell at home to the Falcons for their first loss of the season. They look to bounce back this Thursday against a Chargers team that keeps finding new ways to blow possible wins. They fell to 1-4 on the season with a 34-31 loss to the Raiders on Sunday, though they could be 5-0 or at least 4-1 with any breaks whatsoever. Who covers the number on Thursday? (8:25PM EST) - 10/13

(8:30PM EST) - 10/9
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys Pick - The Cincinnati Bengals look to nose above .500 this week as they visit the 3-1 Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. The Cowboys are 3-1 and look to have hit their stride despite not having Tony Romo and Dez Bryant, with rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott carrying the load. The Bengals got a nice win on Thursday to position themselves for a little run, but it won't be easy against a grooving Cowboys bunch. Who covers the spread this week? (4:25PM EST) - 10/9
Buffalo Bills vs. Los Angeles Rams Prediction - The Buffalo Bills come to the L.A. Coliseum on Sunday to face the Los Angeles Rams. Both teams have righted the ship after bad starts to the season.

Or will the Silver and Black start establishing themselves as a contender in the coming weeks? (4:25PM EST) - 10/9

New England Patriots vs. Cleveland Browns Pick - The New England Patriots come to face the winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday, as they see their hero Tom Brady emerge from a 4-game suspension.

Or will the dangerous-in-spurts Browns provide more resistance at home than what some might think? Loot offers his betting advice in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/9
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Detroit Lions Pick - The Philadelphia Eagles look to stay on a roll when they visit the Detroit Lions on Sunday. At 3-0, the Eagles are coming off a smashing win over the Steelers, followed by a bye-week that leaves them rested to face the Lions.

Can Philly rookie QB Carson Wentz continue to shine? Questions are abound. Loot gives his pick here. (1PM EST) - 10/9
Houston Texans vs. Minnesota Vikings Pick - The Houston Texans come to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday to face the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings.

New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick - The New York Jets come into Heinz Field on Sunday to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. With back-to-back losses and a turnover frenzy ensuing, the Jets look for a better result this week, but will be hard-pressed to find positive momentum against this Steelers bunch. On Sunday night, Pittsburgh decimated the Chiefs and saw the return of Le'Veon Bell, who makes this offense that much stronger. Who covers the spread in Pittsburgh? Loot chimes in here. (1PM EST) - 10/9
Chicago Bears vs. Indianapolis Colts Prediction - The Chicago Bears come to Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts in a battle of 1-3 teams. Chicago got off the schneid on Sunday with a win over the Lions and might have a brewing QB controversy with Jay Cutler and Brian Hoyer, who threw for over 300 in the Bears' first win of the year. They will have to overcome a desperate Colts team that lost in London to the Jaguars last week. Will Indy be able to get this must-win at home? Loot opines here. (1PM EST) - 10/9
Washington Redskins vs. Baltimore Ravens Pick - The Washington Redskins come to MT&T Stadium to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

Loot gives his opinion here. (1PM EST) - 10/9
Tennessee Titans vs. Miami Dolphins Pick - The Tennessee Titans come to Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday as they face the Miami Dolphins in a battle of 1-3 teams trying to get their seasons on the right track.

Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick - In NFC West action, the Arizona Cardinals come to Levi's Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Both teams are in need of a win after each winning just one of their first 4 games. And Arizona, a conference favorite heading into the season, is now without Carson Palmer, with old standby Drew Stanton due to start. Can they deliver on the road in these conditions or will the Niners be able to get business done at home? Loot offers his betting advice here. (8:25PM EST) - 10/6

(8:30PM EST) - 10/3
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Pick - The Kansas City Chiefs come to Heinz Field to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs are coming off a nice win on Sunday over the New York Jets, where KC never lost control in a 24-3 rout. They look to keep it going in a big matchup against what should be an irritated Steelers team that was shockingly throttled by the Eagles on Sunday. Can the Steelers rediscover their form from weeks one and two? Can Kansas City produce a good road effort this week? Loot offers his take in this article. (8:30PM EST) - 10/2
Los Angeles Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals Pick - The Los Angeles Rams have won two in a row since a week one shutout loss to the Niners. They come into Arizona on Sunday to face an irritated 1-2 Cardinals team that will be trying very hard to see their season fall to 1-3. Can the Cardinals come back to life just in time to host what looks like an LA team that has worked some things out? Or can the Rams force another drawn-out battle in this NFC West matchup and cover the spread or even win? Loot offers his take in this article. (4:25PM EST) - 10/2
New Orleans Saints vs. San Diego Chargers Pick - The New Orleans Saints come to Qualcomm Stadium on Sunday to face the San Diego Chargers. Returning home is prodigal son Drew Brees, who first sowed his rep on this field. But he is unfortunately saddled with a Saints' defense that threatens to undermine his efforts, as he is still leading a powerful offense. Can they get their first win against a dangerous Chargers team? Or will the Chargers fight through the injuries and hand out a beating to the Saints? Loot gives his wagering advice here! (4:25PM EST)
Dallas Cowboys vs. San Francisco 49ers Pick - On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys come to Levi's Stadium to face the San Francisco 49ers.

Denver Broncos vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pick - On Sunday, the unbeaten Denver Broncos come to Florida and Raymond James Stadium to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are coming off a tough home loss to the Rams last week, but would put a lot of wind in their sails if they were the first to beat the Broncos this week. But with a defense that still looks like the "goods" and a promising start for QB Trevor Siemian, the Broncos won't be easy to derail. Who covers the spread in this battle? (4:05PM EST) - 10/2
Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots Pick - In AFC East action in week 4, the Buffalo Bills come into Foxboro to face the 3-0 New England Patriots. Buffalo got on the winning track last week with a big win over the favored Arizona Cardinals. They hope to now take that good momentum into New England on Sunday. The Patriots are playing their last game without Tom Brady, but both of their back-ups are banged up. Will that be enough to trouble a Patriots team that seems to always rise above the problems that cripple other teams? Loot offers his ATS take in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/2
Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons Pick - In an important NFC south battle, the defending conference champion Carolina Panthers come into the Georgia Dome to face the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons have looked pretty good in going 2-1 in their first three games, including an impressive week three win on Monday Night Football. They look to keep it rolling at home, but will be facing a Panthers team that will be looking to get into gear and not fall to 1-3. Can the Panthers get back into form or are the Falcons for real? Loot posits his take here. (1PM EST) - 10/2
Seattle Seahawks vs. New York Jets Pick - The Seattle Seahawks come to East Rutherford for a Sunday afternoon game with the New York Jets. The Seahawks rebounded from a rough loss to the Rams with a big win over the 49ers in week three where their offense finally got untracked.

Or will the Jets be able to come back from an 8-turnover loss to the Chiefs to get back on the winning path at home? (1PM EST) - 10/2
Tennessee Titans vs. Houston Texans Prediction - On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans visit the Houston Texans for an AFC south battle in week four action. The Titans fell at home in a tough week three loss to the Raiders and look to even it up at 2-2. Houston will be in no mood for such sentiment after getting embarrassed on Thursday Night Football in a 27-0 shutout loss to the Patriots. Who can shake off the loss and get back on the right track this week? Loot chimes in with his wagering guidance in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/2
Oakland Raiders vs. Baltimore Ravens Pick - In a battle of rising AFC teams, the 2-1 Oakland Raiders come to MT&T Bank Stadium to face the unbeaten Baltimore Ravens. Oakland showed they can win resourcefully with a 17-10 road win over the Titans on Sunday, while Baltimore also won on the road with a 19-17 win over the Jaguars in week three. Is the Baltimore resurgence real? Can their "D" handle a high-powered incoming Oakland bunch? Can the Raiders win back-to-back road games? Questions are abound and Loot tries to answer some of them in this article. (1PM EST) - 10/2
Cleveland Browns vs. Washington Redskins Pick - The Cleeland Browns come to FedEx Field on Sunday to face the Washington Redskins. The Browns are searching for their first win with a third-string QB in rookie Cody Kessler, but they've shown some signs of life on offense.

Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears Prediction - In an NFC north matchup from Soldier Field, the Detroit Lions face the Chicago Bears in week four action. Detroit nearly came back to beat the Packers in a big comeback bid last week, before falling to 1-2 on the season. They look to make it 2-2 against a winless Chicago team that looks to have numerous issues on both sides of the ball and has lost their ability to benefit from home-field advantage with 12 losses in their last 13 games at Soldier Field. Who covers the spread in this battle? (1PM EST) - 10/2
Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Pick - The Indianapolis Colts face the Jacksonville Jaguars in an AFC South battle in Wembley Stadium in London, England in a Sunday morning game beginning at 9:30AM Eastern. The Colts got the wind in their sails they needed in a big comeback win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday. Jacksonville, meanwhile, lost on a late FG on Sunday and a trip to London might not be what the doctor ordered after what's been a deflating 0-3 start where a supposed upgrade has yet to take hold. Who comes out on top in this trans-Atlantic encounter? (9:30AM EST) - 10/2
