Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are averaging a whopping 39.9 points per game at home, while the Detroit Lions have scored 30-plus points in five of their last seven games.

Meanwhile, Detroit’s defense has allowed at least 28 points in four of those seven contests. This clash between 11-4 Detroit and 10-5 Dallas should thus feature plenty of offense.

Best Bet: Over 53.5 points (-110)

Watch: Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET, ABC, ESPN or fuboTV

 Arizona Cardinals at Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles snapped their three-game losing streak Monday, but they hardly looked convincing in a 33-25 win over the Giants.

With Philadelphia’s defense continuing to struggle, the Arizona Cardinals should be able to hang around. Arizona is 2-4 with Kyler Murray under center compared to 1-8 without him.

Best Bet: Cardinals +10.5 (-112)

Watch: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX or fuboTV

Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens are coming off a statement road win over the 49ers. That victory gave the Ravens sole possession of the league’s best record at 12-3.

The Miami Dolphins aren’t far behind at 11-4, but only one of Miami’s wins has come against a team currently over .500, and that was last week’s home triumph over a Cowboys team that’s 3-5 outside of Dallas.

Best Bet: Ravens moneyline (-190)

Watch: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS or fuboTV

New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The 8-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers can clinch the NFC South with a home win over the 7-8 New Orleans Saints. The Buccaneers defeated the Saints 26-9 in New Orleans earlier this season.

Tampa Bay comes in on a four-game winning streak, while the Saints have dropped four of their last six overall. They are also 2-5 on the road. It has been a rough introduction to the division for Saints QB Derek Carr, who has a 2 to 3 TD to interception ratio and is averaging under 200 passing yards in four games in divisional clashes.

Best Bet: Buccaneers moneyline (-155)

Watch: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX or fuboTV

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills have consistently played up or down to its competition, and have won three in a row. They hardly looked convincing, however, in last week’s 24-22 escape against a Chargers team that didn’t have Justin Herbert or Keenan Allen.

The New England Patriots have quietly been a tough out recently, with a 2-5 record in the last seven games. Four of those losses have come by six points or fewer. The Patriots are just 4-11 overall, but one of those wins came against the Bills. Buffalo is 0-3 against the spread when they are favored by 10 or more points.

Best Bet: Patriots +12 (-110)

Watch: Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS or fuboTV

Pittsburgh Steelers at Seattle Seahawks

Both teams are 8-7, but the Seattle Seahawks have more breathing room in the NFC wild card race. It is a bit tighter for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC. Steelers QB Mason Rudolph injected some life into Pittsburgh’s offense as the Steelers scored a season-high 34 points last week. Seattle’s 5-2 at home overall, but nothing has come easy for the Seahawks lately, as they have won each of their last two games by three points following a four-game losing streak.

Best Bet: Steelers +3.5 (-118)

Watch: Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX or fuboTV

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings

Both of these NFC North rivals are 7-8. The Minnesota Vikings have the superior defense. They have allowed 19.9 points per game compared to the Green Bay Packers, who average 22.1 ppg.

With star receiver Justin Jefferson healthy, Minnesota also has a higher ceiling in the passing game regardless of who is under center. The key to victory for the Vikings will be limiting turnovers, which should be easier to do at home against a Packers team that’s tied for the fourth-fewest takeaways with 16.

Best Bet: Vikings moneyline (-135)

Watch: Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC or fuboTV
