Jacksonville Jaguars @ Kansas City Chiefs, NFL Sunday LIVE
Sky Sports Action (407), 5pm, Sunday

Image: Can the Jaguars stellar defense stop the explosive Chiefs offense?

NEIL PICKS: CHIEFS

Everyone is talking about the Jaguars defense going up against the Chiefs offense in this one, but this game might come down to who is better out of the other units - the Jags offense or Chiefs D, which is currently ranked last in the NFL. I like the Jags, but I just think at Arrowhead - a great home environment - I'm going to pick the Chiefs.

JEFF PICKS: JAGUARS

I've been to Arrowhead, and it is electric on game day, but I really believe the ability to run the football on the Chiefs - use up the clock and go old school on them - is the best way to win. Also, Jacksonville are probably the only team in the league that can match the speed of the Kansas City offense. I'm taking the Jags on the road.

Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles, NFL Sunday LIVE
Sky Sports Action (407), 9.25pm, Sunday

Image: The Vikings take on the Eagles in a repeat of last year's NFC Championship game but with two different QBs

NEIL PICKS: VIKINGS

There's a problem with the Vikings secondary at the moment, they're giving up some big plays - as they did in the NFC Championship game between these two last year - but I just fancy Minnesota to win this one on the road.

JEFF PICKS: VIKINGS

I agree. The Vikings played better in defeat to the Rams last week and I believe Mike Zimmer will get that secondary of theirs fixed. I think Minnesota win.

PODCAST: Inside the Huddle

The panel discuss Philadelphia's stuttering start to their Super Bowl defence, Le'Veon Bell's continued holdout and look at the NFL's front-runners.

Dallas Cowboys @ Houston Texans, NFL Sunday LIVE
Sky Sports Action (407), 1.10am, Monday

Image: Can Houston get one over on 'big brother' Dallas on Sunday Night Football?

NEIL PICKS: TEXANS

Last Sunday, Houston got their first win of the season, and I like them to make it two in two and win this one at home.

JEFF PICKS: TEXANS

I've lived in Texas. And I will tell you this, Houston has a kind of 'little brother' mentality when it comes to Dallas. They don't like each other and, in Houston, I think it is going to be an unbelievably loud crowd, so I'm taking the Texans.

Washington Redskins @ New Orleans Saints, Monday Night Football
Sky Sports Action (407), 1am, Tuesday

Image: Drew Brees and the Saints look to prevent the Redskins from causing a shock in the Superdome

NEIL PICKS: REDSKINS

I've picked Washington as my shock result of the weekend, to win in New Orleans on Monday night. They've got a really good defense the Redskins this year.

JEFF PICKS: SAINTS

I can't go against New Orleans in New Orleans, in the Superdome. It's so tough to win there, particularly if Drew Brees is on point.

Indianapolis Colts 24-38 New England Patriots

NEIL PICKS: PATRIOTS

I'm going to go with New England at home. It looked like they righted a lot of their wrongs last week in the win over Miami.

JEFF PICKS: PATRIOTS

Yes, I agree. You had their rookie runner, Sony Michel, have a breakout game last week, and now they've got Julian Edelman coming back at receiver following his suspension. Patriots all the way.
