Chiefs looked a shadow of their former selves this season and got out of jail last week courtesy of an OT win. They lie third in the AFC West with a 6-6 record coming into this faceoff against a Texans side on a 4-game winning streak, who lie third behind Denver in the AFC East with a 7-5 record. This is a must-win game if the Chiefs are to reach the knockout stages. I'm expecting them to edge a very tight game against a well-organised and drilled Texans side.

Chiefs can edge this must-win game. It will be a game where defense will be the deciding factor more than a glut of points. Expect a home win, but only by my FG making 4 points; the Vegas line is a little high.

The Bears and Green Bay top the NFC North in first and second place with 9-3 and 8-3 records, respectively. They are on winning streaks: the Bears are on a 3-game streak, while the Packers are on a 5-game streak. With home-field advantage, Green Bay should prevail by 12??"15 points.

The Rams top the NFC West standings with a 9-3 record. They'll be smarting after last week's loss. They meet a Cardinals side bottom of the NFC West with a 3-9 record and on a four-game losing streak. I fully expect the Rams to get back on the winning trail by 10??"12 points.

It's quite tight at the top of the NFC West, with the top three teams being 9-3, 9-3, and 9-4 coming into this week. Seattle won their last two and face an Atlanta side with a 4-8 record looking like they lack confidence. It'll be tight, but the visitors shade it by a TD.

Despite an 8-pound turn around in the weights, I expect the Russell/Scudamore runner to confirm the form of the Ayr run last month. He's won 4 of his 6 starts. The way he was staying on at Ayr suggests this step up in trip will suit. He holds several entries this month, including the Welsh National. Kit takes off a useful 5 pounds, and he's a bigger price than I envisaged. I cannot see him out of the first three. Fully expect him continue his fine form.

At the age of 10, COCONUT SPLASH has no secrets. I find it interesting that he's been kept in training. He only had 21 career starts, so obviously there have been issues. His first run of the season, when sixth at Ayr last month, was the gelding's first run in 18 months. On several bits of placed form he's got a strong each-way shout in this open contest. There has been a bit of early money for him, generally 16/1 on opening, showing bigger in the place. Certainly on a decent mark. Kit again takes the ride, claiming 5 pounds.

The selection was not unbacked on handicap debut at Warwick on 4th November. I can't envisage him out of the first three this afternoon. Young Isobel taken down off 6 pounds.

Neither side's first-innings performance showed anything of quality. Prior to a spectacular collapse after lunch on day 2, England looked in a decent position. This second Test is a day/night game, and England will bat with a bit more nous than in the last match. They certainly have a point to prove: get a win or a draw. At 2/1 taking draw out looks overpriced

Leeds are under pressure to get results. They are conceding plenty. There is a huge gulf in terms of quality between the two sides. I envisaged Chelsea would be considerably shorter than 4/5. This young squad are looking more decisive this season despite all the youth. Facing a jittery defence at Elland Road could be to their advantage. Value 4/5, which I can only see shortening after the weekend games.

It's difficult to know which Liverpool side will turn up. Currently on a wretched run, it seems incredible every player except Dominic Szoboszlai is out of form at the same time.

We are in shocking form, the worst I've seen since Shankly days. Although I thought we overachieved last season and others underperformed, it masked our issues at the back.

Albus Annie has 2 wins from 6 starts this season. Those two wins came after making a hash of the starts. Did the same here a fortnight ago. Interesting: for a horse that showed he stays, connections stepped up markedly in trip. Tyrone Cameron takes off 7 pounds. 25/1 looks a very generous price. I envisaged around 16/1. Looks good value against a very short-priced favourite.

Brighton got a deserved win at the weekend beating Brentford, while Villa came back from a goal down to win at Leeds. Both sides are scoring, in particular Villa, after a slow start saw them not score for 600-odd minutes. Both have overachieved this season to date, and neither defense looks solid. I envisage BTTS in what could be a high-scoring draw.

This is another match where I can see BTTS and a low-scoring draw.

Two sides in contrasting form. It's taking time for Thomas Frank to get his ideas across since taking over. Although they were shocking at the Emirates, I think they can get 3 points here.

Fulham, like City, are struggling for consistency. At the time of writing City suffered a shock home loss. Bayern Leverkusen followed that with a poor display at Newcastle.

Several exposed horses here. With four places up for grabs, Warrnambool looks value at the current odds. Although 0-13, he showed on his first run for Michael Keady in October that his turn might be at hand. He was nibbled in the betting that day. I thought Darren Keenan gave him too much to do then, and he didn't get the clearest of runs either but pulled clear of the fourth. His other recent run here was decent in September. The handicapper has inexplicably dropped him two pounds. The price is a point bigger than I envisaged, so I'm getting a little value.

Not a race to get heavily involved in being "hands and heels", but although GUNDOGAN is 1-20 he's performed better in his last two starts since transferring to Tony Carroll.

Upped 5 pounds, but if he can break on terms he'll prove a tough nut to crack. I envisaged he'd be odds-on, so at 5/4 that's getting value against a field where 95% of them are totally out of form.
