We're entering the final three weeks of the NFL season. Each game is more important than the last, especially for teams that barely cling to playoff hopes. Maybe no team is truly dominant in Las Vegas other than the San Francisco 49ers to say we're the lock to make the Super Bowl this year, but it's going to make an even more exciting few weeks of playoffs. Let's see who thinks they're ready to make a statement in Week 16.

Indianapolis +1 over Atlanta
After finishing the first half of the season 3-5, many removed the Indianapolis Colts from their radar, but they got back into the conversation. Back-up QB Gardner Minshew led Indy, with five wins in its last six games, is one of the most popular teams in all football.

With the Colts now on a high run, the Atlanta Falcons are at their lowest point in a 9-7 loss to the Carolina Panthers, who went ahead 6-8. This week's game might be viewed as a chance to rebound, but this one feels stronger than the final straw of the season.

Michael Pittman Jr., the Colts' key weapon, is hoping to return after suffering a concussion on a dirty hit by Damontae Kazee, who was sent off in a collision in the last game. Pittman had limited practice on Wednesday.

With a 5-2 record, the Colts are likely to leave Atlanta and take control of the AFC South.

Green Bay - 4.5 over Carolina
The Green Bay Packers are one of the teams holding out for a playoff spot. A loss to Carolina this week would almost finish digging their graves, but a win would keep them alive.

Jordan Love, Aaron Jones, and the Packers' offense, as Remember the Titans say, "Leave without a doubt" when they take the field on Sunday afternoon.

Despite their second win of the season, the Panthers still haven't shown any improvement in the offensive side of football. If the Packers can score more than 14 points in this game, it could be enough, and 20+ should be enough against the worst offenses in the NFL.

Seattle - 2.5 over Tennessee
Seattle has had a rollercoaster-like season. After a 6-3 start, the team plummeted to four straight losses and went below .500. The Seahawks seemed to be in a free fall with no end in sight, especially when the Philadelphia Eagles came to town Monday night.

To make matters worse, backup QB Drew Lock had to start just before the game when starter Geno Smith failed to return from injury. All signs pointed to Philly's comfortable win. But Rock actually stepped up and drove more than 90 yards in a two-minute training session, scoring the winning touchdown and taking the game out of Philly's hands.

At 7-7, the Seahawks are barely out there looking at the wild-card playoff spot.

Detroit - Minnesota 3rd
If they played against Sam Laporta and Jamir Gibbs in fantasy last week, I'm sorry they scored five touchdowns. They became the second rookie duo to score five times a game since the 1970 NFL merger.

The scary thing about the Detroit Lions' offense is that they have a lot more weapons than those two. Amonla St. Brown is a major threat, and you can climb yards after a catch with the ball in your hand. 온라인카지노

Outside the backfield, Gibbs teams up with David Montgomery, a much stronger defender and hard-to-break runner at first contact. These weapons surround Jared Goff, a QB who is good at delivering the ball to his playmakers and puts it in a good position to turn something into a chunk of play.

This strong offense is why the Lions can comfortably top the NFC North and win the division.

Minnesota has been playing some very normal football with a revolving door at QB last month while holding its wild card spot. The Vikings dropped to the best of four and they were lucky not to have lost four games in a row, as they won 3-0 over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jacksonville picks them in Tampa Bay
The amazing team in the NFL this year is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team started 4-7, but took a small series of hits to bring their record to 7-7. Luckily for the Bucks, they played in the NFC South, the worst division in football, this season, so a .500 record is enough to take the lead in the division.
The Bucks will be tested this week as they host the 8-6 Jacksonville Jaguars. During Tampa Bay's three-game winning streak, none of the three opponents held records above .500.

With the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans taking a light look at the Jagsheels for the AFC South race, Jacksonville is in desperate need of a rebound after three straight losses.

Jacksonville's standout statistics are 5-1, while Tampa Bay is 3-3. QB Trevor Lawrence and receiver Jay Jones are both getting word of injuries, but the Jags are looking forward to them at least having a go Sunday when it comes to how much.
