No game will be bigger than the potential Super Bowl preview between the Lions and Bills. Plus, the Steelers have a pivotal matchup on the road against the Eagles.
But no game will be bigger than the potential Super Bowl preview between the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills. Both teams need this game to secure the top seed in their respective conferences. The Lions are only one game ahead of the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles. The Bills are two games behind the Kansas City Chiefs, but they control the head-to-head tiebreaker.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are also in the mix for the AFC’s No. 1 seed, but they’re going to need an upset in Philadelphia to stay within striking distance of the Chiefs. The Steelers could be without dynamic wide receiver George Pickens because of amatchup between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks could provide us with an early postseason preview.
We’ll also keep a close eye on the matchups between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Chargers, and the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans. Here’s everything you need to know about the five best games of the week, including Gilberto Manzano’s key matchups, Matt Verderame’s key stats, Michael Fabiano’s fantasy football advice, Iain MacMillan’s best bets and Conor Orr’s prediction for each game.Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith vs. Texans’ LBs.
Steelers OLB T.J. Watt vs. Eagles LT Jordan Mailata. Watt will need to wreck the Eagles’ offensive plans to give the short-handed Steelers a chance to pull the upset in Philadelphia. The Eagles probably won’t have to deal with Pickens, who’s dealing with a hamstring injury, but they’re going to have their hands full with Watt, a six-time Pro Bowler. Pittsburgh has 32 total sacks this season, including 9.5 from Watt. Philadelphia has allowed 36 sacks this season.
Packers WR Jayden Reed vs. Seahawks’ secondary. Reed had a performance to forget last week, being held to just one target and no catches during the loss against the Lions. Green Bay’s offense is at its best when Reed is creating plays all over the field. But Reed has been held to 26 receiving yards or fewer in four consecutive games. Expect the Packers to get him going early and often during a pivotal matchup.
