Kansas City @ Houston: You really have to look for Kansas City to roll in there the Chiefs Jamaal Charles getting hurt its’ really opened up the offense for the Chiefs. Instead of having one major tool to focus on they moved the ball around. The Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is looking like the Alex Smith of old when he was with BYU.

Smith has an opened the offense, I’m looking for the Chiefs to put this game away early and Houston doesn’t have the offense to keep up with the Chiefs as well.

Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati: These two teams are both cold weather teams, I really have to look to Pittsburgh winning this game on the road. Right now the Steelers are clicking on all cylinders while Cincinnati with quarterback AJ McCarron at the helm can match Steelers quarterback Ben Roethisberger.

NFC

Seattle @ Minnesota: This is got to be one of those old cold weather games as Minnesota is still waiting on when their new stadium to be finished. The Vikings are playing at the University of Minnesota which is outside. Their getting a Minnesota winter in the early part of January. This is going to be a great match up with two teams that are going to rely heavily on the ground game.

Green Bay @ Washington: Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins will start and Washington are very good at home. They do well on the road but they do very well at home and we all know the problems that Green Bay has been having. The Packers are not that really strong. Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers is going to have to have the game his life.
