It’s Week 14! Thanksgiving is behind us and this is the final week of the season with teams on bye weeks. We are already looking ahead to the top 50 free agents available this offseason, but first there is a playoff race to get to.
There are a few big games this weekend, including one between the two teams tied atop the AFC South. The Jaguars will host the Colts, with both teams sitting at 8–4. Speaking of the AFC South, there is another massive AFC showdown on Sunday Night Football. The 6–6 Chiefs are fighting for their playoff lives, and they’ll host a 7–5 Texans team that is trying to stay in the AFC South race. Our panel is split down the middle on which team will come out on top in both of those games. And over in the NFC, the Bears lead the Packers by half a game, with first place on the line when Green Bay welcomes its rivals to Lambeau Field on Sunday.
Here’s who we have making picks this season:
