Why Brooke is taking the Texans: The last time these teams clashed was all the way back in Week 2, when the Colts prevailed The Week 18 versions of these clubs are completely different , as Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans stated earlier this week. Stroud has proven to be one of the more consistent quarterbacks this season with a TD-to-INT ratio, which leads all qualified QBs, per NFL Research.

That consistency could be in jeopardy against a Colts D that pressured Stroud a season-high 25 times in their last outing.

Not to mention, Stroud is with just four pass TDs in road games. In my eyes, though, the Texans are the better team right now with a top-five run defense that should keep the Jonathan Taylor -led Colts' rushing attack at bay and an opportunistic pass defense -- albeit, a banged-up one -- that could make Gardner Minshew pay if he's not careful.

ET FOX Spread : NO -6 Storyline to watch: The Saints' passing offense has been struggling, and quarterback Derek Carr had only 37 passing yards through most of Sunday's win against the Panthers before throwing late touchdowns to Jimmy Graham and Chris Olave.

He finished with passing yards. Carr and the offense will look to get back on track against a Giants defense giving up Bold prediction: Giants running back Saquon Barkley will rush for plus yards.

It's notable because he has topped yards on the ground only once this season. But he's motivated by a late fumble against Green Bay, and the Saints' defense has allowed more than rushing yards in four of its past six games.

Stat to know: Giants QB Tommy DeVito has seven passing touchdowns in four career starts, tied for the second-most passing touchdowns by a player through their first four starts with the Giants since quarterback starts were first tracked in trailing only Fran Tarkenton's eight passing touchdowns in Matchup X factor: Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson.

He's coming off his biggest receiving game of the season, catching six passes for 79 yards in the Giants' dramatic win over the Packers.

If Robinson can develop into a consistent playmaker, that would go far for the Giants' offense. Lose, and it's an uphill climb, though. And on the other sideline, can DeVito get the Giants another win? Injuries: Giants Saints. What to know for fantasy: On the road, the Giants' defense has allowed 3.

Because New York's defense gives up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers, Olave is in a great spot at the Caesars Superdome. Betting nugget: The Saints are ATS at home this season. Moody's pick: Saints 21, Giants 17 Walder's pick: Saints 19, Giants 16 FPI prediction: NO, Matchup must-reads: Does DeVito have a future with the Giants?

Graham helping Saints solve red zone woes DeVito's agent, Stellato, embraces viral fame Shaheed thigh plans to play vs. ET FOX Spread : KC Storyline to watch: Patriots coach Bill Belichick is second on the all-time wins list , including playoffs , while Chiefs coach Andy Reid is closing ground quickly as his victories rank him fourth all time.

This is the first time that two head coaches in the top five in career regular-season wins have faced each other since Week 4 of when Don Shula's Dolphins met Chuck Noll's Steelers.

This game was originally scheduled for ESPN's "Monday Night Football" before becoming the first-ever MNF game flexed to Sunday this is the first year the league has experimented with flexing Monday games , mainly due to the Patriots' struggles.

Bold prediction: The Chiefs will sack Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe at least four times. The pass rush has been the best part of the Chiefs' defense in recent games.

They are tied for the third-most sacks in the league with Patriots quarterbacks have been sacked 14 times in the past four games, and the Chiefs should have plenty of opportunity to add to that total.

Stat to know: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is six receptions shy of for his career. Sunday will be his th career game.

He also has 74 career receiving touchdowns, two shy of matching Tony Gonzalez for the most in Chiefs history. Matchup X factor: Chiefs DT Chris Jones. As long as Jones and the Chiefs' defense take care of business in what should be a cake assignment, the Chiefs' lack of receivers won't even matter.

The defense can set the struggling Chiefs offense up for success. Injuries: Chiefs Patriots. What to know for fantasy: Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott has had 21 touches in two consecutive games with Rhamondre Stevenson dealing with a high ankle sprain.

Because of Elliott's volume, he's firmly on the radar as an RB2. Betting nugget: The Patriots are ATS this season, the worst cover percentage in the NFL. Moody's pick: Chiefs 27, Patriots 13 Walder's pick: Chiefs 30, Patriots 9 FPI prediction: KC, Matchup must-reads: Mahomes' message to Toney: 'Just be you' Belichick on Patriots future: 'I'm getting ready for K.

Mahomes regrets outburst, interaction with Allen What's next for Belichick and the Patriots? ET FOX Spread : ATL -3 Storyline to watch: This game matters more for Atlanta, in a three-way tie with New Orleans and Tampa Bay for the NFC South division lead.

The Panthers have been focused the past few weeks on establishing the running game to take pressure off quarterback Bryce Young , and the Falcons have a top run defense that has allowed an NFL-low five rushing touchdowns. Young is coming off arguably the worst game Bold prediction: This game won't be decided until late in the fourth quarter.

While Carolina has the NFL's worst record, the Panthers have been within one possession in the fourth quarter in their past five games all losses. Atlanta has been in one-possession games in eight of its past nine contests.

Expect to see that again -- and see the Falcons use a combination of Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson to close out the game with two run-heavy possessions, giving Robinson over all-purpose yards. Stat to know: The Panthers have scored fewer than 20 points in seven straight games, already the longest streak in franchise history.

Should they score fewer than 20 points on Sunday, they will tie the Giants for the longest such streak by any team this season eight games. Matchup X factor: Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn.

Thus far in a tiny sample, he has allowed a high 2. But we know he's capable of being a difference-maker on defense. Carolina will need him to slow down Drake London when they match up, as London is coming off a yard receiving game.

What's at stake: More NFC South intrigue! Injuries: Falcons Panthers. What to know for fantasy: The Falcons In two of his past three games, Robinson has scored 20 or more fantasy points. Betting nugget: The Falcons are ATS in their past six division games they failed to cover last week.

Moody's pick: Falcons 27, Panthers 17 Walder's pick: Falcons 30, Panthers 13 FPI prediction: ATL, Matchup must-reads: How the Falcons' 'positionless attitude' could affect Pitts' future What Young, Panthers can learn from team Was loss to Saints 'rock bottom' for Young, Panthers?

ET CBS Spread : LAR Storyline to watch: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has thrown at least three touchdowns in three straight games, tied for the longest streak of his career. The Commanders are the NFL's worst passing defense in DVOA and have allowed a league-high 30 passing touchdowns.

Bold prediction: Rams receiver Puka Nacua will have three yard plays Sunday, including one for a touchdown. He is fourth in the NFL with 21 receptions of 20 yards or more, and their offense also ranks fourth in such plays. Meanwhile, Washington ranks last in passing yards allowed per game and has allowed the second-most pass plays for 20 yards or more.

Stat to know: With two sacks Sunday, Commanders quarterback Sam Howell would become the fourth different player fifth instance of a quarterback taking at least 60 sacks through their first 14 games of a season.

Howell has taken multiple sacks in all but one game this season Week 8 vs. the Eagles. Matchup X factor: Rams edge rusher Byron Young. What's at stake: The Rams have a big swing in play here. Injuries: Commanders Rams. What to know for fantasy: The Commanders' defense gives up the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks.

Wide receivers also score the second-most fantasy points per game against Washington's defense. Betting nugget: The Commanders are ATS as road underdogs this season.

Moody's pick: Rams 33, Commanders 19 Walder's pick: Rams 34, Commanders 30 FPI prediction: LAR, Matchup must-reads: Inside the Commanders' high-stakes season and what comes next Two Rams land in the latest top rookie rankings Upset Commanders players not only ones frustrated.

ET CBS Spread : SF Storyline to watch: Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray hasn't played the 49ers since October , a stretch of four games and more than two years, because of injuries.

The last time he lined up against San Francisco, he won. Murray is since he returned from an ACL injury and refreshed coming off the bye.

The Niners don't have any fresh tape of facing Murray, including tape of Murray in the Cardinals' new scheme. With the Niners potentially down some players on defense, especially in their front seven, Murray might have an opportunity to upset a potential Super Bowl team. Bold prediction: Niners quarterback Brock Purdy will pass for more than yards and three touchdowns for the third time this season.

Purdy was nearly perfect in the first meeting between these teams, throwing for yards and a touchdown with just one incompletion.

Given the state of Arizona's secondary, the Cardinals' inability to generate pass rush they have the fourth-lowest pressure rate in the NFL and the Niners' injuries on defense, this has the makings of a high-scoring game that allows Purdy to continue adding the counting stats that have him squarely in the NFL MVP conversation.

Stat to know: Purdy has won his first six division games; that's tied for the fourth-longest streak to begin a player's career since the merger. Should he win Sunday in Arizona, he can tie Ben Roethlisberger for the third-longest streak.

Matchup X factor: Murray. Yes, he has delivered two wins in four games, but he has just a He's allowed some time to shake off the rust, but Murray should be better than those numbers suggest.

What's at stake: Two very different ends of the spectrum here. And the Cardinals could keep their No. Injuries: 49ers Cardinals. What to know for fantasy: Niners running back Christian McCaffrey has averaged Against a Cardinals defense that gives up the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs, McCaffrey could provide a matchup-winning performance.

Betting nugget: Overs are in Cardinals home games this season. Moody's pick: 49ers 31, Cardinals 16 Walder's pick: 49ers 27, Cardinals 17 FPI prediction: SF, Matchup must-reads: Four unsung heroes who have helped the 49ers thrive How Murray changed his footwork for West Coast offense Long passes have made 49ers' offense difficult to defend.

ET FOX Spread : BUF -2 Storyline to watch: This is a big game for both teams given the playoff implications involved. But this game could very well come down to which defense dealing with injuries can make more stops against offenses with the potential to put up big points.

The Cowboys' offense leads the NFL in points per game Bold prediction: Bills quarterback Josh Allen will lead the Bills in rushing against the Cowboys and push for yards.

The Cowboys are one of seven teams not to allow a yard rusher this season, but they have had issues with quarterbacks. Five times quarterbacks have had more than 30 yards rushing vs.
