Head football coach Marcus Teal:
Las Vegas Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs: Chiefs 34, Raiders 24
“[The] Chiefs have too much firepower for my Raiders.”
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans: Texans 24, Jaguars 17
“[This will be a] great AFC South showdown.”
Indianapolis Colts @ Cleveland Browns: Colts 27, Browns 17
“The Colts have the defense; the Browns have the offense. Something has to give.”
Buffalo Bills @ Tennessee Titans: Bills 28, Titans 24
“Tuesday night football — anything could happen. I like the undefeated Bills.”
Assistant football coach Robert Cutts:
Las Vegas Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs: Chiefs 35, Raiders 21
“[Patrick] Mahomes will eat up the very young secondary of the Raiders.”
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans: Texans 28, Jaguars 24
“Texans just fired Bill O’Brian. The team is now being led by Interim Head Coach Romeo Crennel who is an experienced coach. The Jaguars are a sneaky, fun team to watch, but I don’t see them winning here.”
Indianapolis Colts @ Cleveland Browns: Colts 21 Browns 17
“The Colts have the best defense statistically in the NFL right now, but the Browns are coming off an impressive performance in Dallas. I think the Colts win, but not by a lot.”
Buffalo Bills @ Tennessee Titans: Bills 35, Titans 21
“The Titans are a good team but are being ravaged by COVID. If this game is played, they will not have quite a few players. Josh Allen is a ton of fun to watch in Buffalo.”
Principal Tam Larnerd:
Las Vegas Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs: Chiefs 38, Raiders 17
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans: Jaguars 24, Texans 16
Indianapolis Colts @ Cleveland Browns: Colts 35, Browns 24
