Week 10 Results: Rick: 4-9-2; Flip: 10-3-2
Cumulative: Rick: 77-85-2; Flip: 87-75-2

Thursday, November 20 Buffalo Bills (-5.5, 43) at Houston Texans 8:15 pm - Houston will be without the services of C.J. Stroud, though the Texans have won two straight with Davis Mills behind center (Jacksonville, Tennessee).

Buffalo doesn’t appear to be playing at its best, though they are 7-3 and just 1 1/2 games behind streaking New England, winners of eight straight. Mixed signals, but look for the Bills to flex their offensive muscle.

Coin Flip: Buffalo

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Bills 31 Texans 21


Sunday, November 23 New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens (-14, 45) 1:00 pm - The Jets have lots of problems, like a run game and scoring points. Baltimore needs to keep winning, and, with a healthy Lamar Jackson, they have been doing that. Baltimore is looking for a fifth straight win and should get it here.

Coin Flip: Baltimore

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Ravens 30 Jets 10


Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears (-2.5, 45.5) 1:00 pm - The Bears are playing with loads of positive emotion now and are looking increasingly like a playoff team after winning at Minesota last week, 19-17. Caleb Williams is having a spectacular season and Pittsburgh’s defense may not be able to contain him.

Aaron Rodgers plans to start this game, though if he doesn’t Mason Rudolph is a capable replacement. Might be close, but the Bears have won seven of their last eight.

Coin Flip: Chicago

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Bears 27 Steelers 24


New England Patriots (-6.5, 51) at Cincinnati Bengals 1:00 pm - Still no Joe Burrow spells more trouble for the fading Bengals (3-7). QB Joe Flacco is listed as questionable.

The Patriots have won eight straight and appear to be playoff-bound. QB Drake Maye is having an MVP season and the defense keeps improving under coach Mike Vrable.

Coin Flip: Cincinnati

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Patriots 42 Bengals 20



New York Giants at Detroit Lions (-10.5, 50) 1:00 pm - Sorry, Giants fans. Another season seems to be slipping away and injuries are piling up. Last week’s 27-20 loss to Green Bay was the fifth straight.

Detroit’s losses have been forgivable - Green Bay, KC, Minnesota, and last week, 16-9 at Philly. The Lions are now in third place in the NFC North, possibly the toughest division in the league. They should bounce back against an inferior opponent.

Coin Flip: New York Giants

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Lions 34 Giants 14


Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers (-7, 41) 1:00 pm - J.J. McCarthy looks exactly like what he is, an inexperienced NFL QB, but, the Packers are very banged up.

This divisional contest has upset written all over it as the Vikings desperately need a win.

Coin Flip: Minnesota

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Vikings 20 Packers 18


Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs (-3.5, 49) 1:00 pm - Make or break game for the Chiefs after consecutive losses at Buffalo (28-21) and Denver (22-19). Patrick Mahomes has never lost three straight, but this will be a real test.

The Colts have a two-game lead in the AFC South and they lead the league in scoring, but they will be facing on of the best defenses in the NFL. They seem to be on a glide path to a division crown with Jonathan Taylor leading the league in rushing. Getting points looks good for Indy fans.

Coin Flip: Indianapolis

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Colts 24 Chiefs 21


Seattle Seahawks (-13.5, 41) at Tennessee Titans 1:00 pm - Cam Ward having a nightmare rookie season, as the Titans are the league’s worst, at 1-9.

Seattle is coming off a tough loss to the Rams, 21-19, but are 4-1 on the road. Clearly the better team.

Coin Flip: Tennessee

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Seahawks 38 Titans 13
