UPDATE: Dotson, Fitzpatrick, Haden and Watt have been ruled out for the Steelers. I'll take Justin Herbert's chances to find a way, but I won't give away many points in what's close to a coin-flip game, assuming Pittsburgh gets some of the stars back. That said, the Steelers have one of the few offenses that isn't positioned to take advantage. These Chargers can't do much well lately on defense, and that'd be doubly true without their best D-linemen. These aren't just starters, but most of Pittsburgh's best players. The Steelers are hoping for the best, with injuries to Chase Claypool, guard Kevin Dotson, cornerback Joe Haden and outside linebacker T.J. Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ben Roethlisberger are also iffy because of COVID protocols. Chargers defensive linemen Joey Bosa and Jerry Tillery are currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list, leaving their status for Sunday night in question. This game is tough to pick early in the week. WHERE: SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, Calif.).UPDATE: Cowboys WR Amari Cooper was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and will not play on Sunday. I believe Dallas is ready for a win like this. The Chiefs present a particularly challenging case because of their track record, but there's just no question the 2021 Cowboys have been a superior team on both sides of the ball. When it comes to picks, the hardest decision to make is whether you evaluate a team based on the last week, the last month, the entire season or go even further back. The return of Michael Gallup - and possibly left tackle Tyron Smith this Sunday - makes the 'Boys even more fearsome, and their defense has also been far better all season than the surging Chiefs' unit. The Cowboys' weapons have dominated all year the Chiefs were dominant for one game. Even if Kansas City's offense is on its way back, there's no chance I trust it more than this Dallas attack. I'd feel better making this pick if the Cowboys had Randy Gregory or DeMarcus Lawrence available, but try to take the long view here. WHERE: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City, Mo.).The betting lines above are current as of 3:30 p.m. If McCoy starts for Arizona, switch the pick to Seahawks 23, Cardinals 17.ĮDITOR'S NOTE: With Kyler Murray inactive against the Seahawks, this pick was changed from Cardinals 27, Seahawks 17. UPDATE: Murray will be a game-time decision on Sunday and DeAndre Hopkins has been ruled out against Seattle. If that ends up being the case, the Cardinals covering is my favorite pick of the week, in part because Russell Wilson did not look remotely ready a week ago. He participated in Wednesday's practice, saying he's hopeful to start on Sunday. (Especially on the road, where they have a +91 scoring differential against a hard schedule!) My pick here ultimately depends on Kyler's status. But if Kyler Murray returns from injury, the Cardinals are still the most complete team in the NFL until proven otherwise.
Seattle's defense has now played well enough for a month to believe the Seahawks can win at the line of scrimmage and do enough to beat a Colt McCoy-led Cardinals team. I'm not going to get too complicated here.
