The Ravens have a winning and losing streak against the Dolphins of W5 based on all of the criteria after the 12 points criteria for each team.  

Thoughts: I have no idea who is going to win this game! The fact that Lamar Jackson hasn't played in several weeks could be a good indication to take the Dolphins to win this game! Last week was weird as I actually won last week on Thursday Night and it felt really good to get a big win as it seems like nearly every single week of Thursday Night Football has been an upset win! The Ravens are just flat out the better team right now even with Lamar hurt or partially hurt! The Ravens have failed three times to win their 122nd game all-time in the regular season and postseason away! Wouldn't it be ironic or interesting if the Ravens actually won tonight during the week of the 121st World Series in Major League Baseball? The NFL also supposedly very secretly hates the Ravens more than any other team so maybe this should easily be a Miami win! The Dolphins can get their 366th win all-time against the AFC in the regular season and postseason with in a win!

Thoughts about each prediction to win: Mostly certain

Thoughts: (Posted on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025) I like Aaron Rodgers to get a win against one of his former teams. So, I like really like Pittsburgh to win this game even though Green Bay is probably the better team overall! Maybe Aaron Rodgers will just have to settle with not beating one NFL team! Rodgers already beat his old team the Jets earlier this season!

Thoughts about each prediction to win: Very certain

Thoughts: (Posted on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025) There's no reason to pick against the Kansas City Chiefs for this game as the Washington Commanders should be the heavy underdog in this one...unless you really like heavy underdogs to win! I just don't think this is going to be one of those weeks where people are surprised about who wins on Monday night since the Chiefs lost a game they should have won at Jacksonville on a Monday night recently.

Predictions to win: Kansas City Chiefs
