Carolina controls its own destiny in the NFC South, already with a win in hand against the Bucs and 1 more matchup pending later this season. You can’t make this stuff up, folks. That’s right; a team that was selling off basically all of its top players earlier in the year controls its own destiny with only 4 weeks remaining. Sure that has more to do with the division than it does with the Panthers, but you still have to give them credit. Since the Panthers got blown out by the Bengals in Week 9, they are 4-0 ATS and covering by almost 10 points per game. They are also 3-1 SU during this stretch, with the only outright loss coming at Baltimore. Since returning to the lineup 2 games ago, Sam Darnold is grading out like an above-average quarterback — especially on early downs. He has been a stabilizing presence for an offense that has suffered through the ups and downs of Baker Mayfield and PJ Walker. For the Steelers, Mitchell Trubisky will likely be under center as Kenny Pickett goes through concussion protocol for the 2nd time already in 2022. This sets up well for Carolina.

At 3-10, the Broncos have undoubtedly been the most disappointing team in the league this season. They were supposed to ride Russell Wilson into the playoffs, but instead the ride has veered wildly off course. Wilson may not be able to play on Sunday since he is currently in concussion protocol, but the Cardinals should be able to win this game regardless of who is under center for the Broncos. Heck, at this point Brett Rypien might be on par with Wilson if not even an upgrade. Arizona is dealing with quarterback issues of its own, as Kyler Murray is out for the year with a torn ACL. However, Colt McCoy has plenty of NFL experience and he also has weapons around him such that he won’t be asked to do too much. Denver’s defense handles the pass well but can be vulnerable to a run-heavy approach led by James Conner, and that is exactly how Arizona is going to attack. Let’s back the Cards and not even bother with the points.

Both of these NFC East rivals are 7-5-1 and need this win in the worst way to keep pace in the playoff race. It should be a fun one…and a very close one. The Giants and Commanders just played each other a couple weeks ago and they couldn’t have looked much more even while battling to a 20-20 tie. Although the Giants have not been in great form since a scorching-hot start to the season, their 3 most recent losses have come to the Lions, Cowboys and Eagles — the 3 hottest teams in the NFC right now. For Washington, Taylor Heinicke has started to regress of late. In the Commanders’ last game prior to their bye he took 5 sacks against this same Giants pass rush. In what will likely be a typical hard-fought, competitive NFC East contest, give me anything more than a field goal.
