We have a weird situation. The top team lost, but they were so far ahead of the teams behind them, and lost by so little, that they did NOT fall from the top.

Thursday night
Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens : The Ravens will bounce back from the loss to the Browns. RAVENS, 20-13
Sunday early games
Arizona Cardinals at Houston Texans : CJ Stroud continues to impress. Their defense may not be as strong as it has been in previous years, but it will be enough to slow the Cardinals. TEXANS, 20-10
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions : Justin Fields may not be ready to come back, but the Bears aren't doing too badly under Tyson Bagent. The problem is that they face a great offense in the Lions, and Bears weak point this season is their defense. LIONS, 27-13
Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers : Geezm this will be nearly as one-sided as last week's Dallas game. COWBOYS, 34-13
Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins : Rookie QB Aidan O'Connell comes to Miami to square off against Tua. The Dolphins are just too well-packed. DOLPHINS, 30-16
Los Angeles Chargers at Green Bay Packers : The struggling Packers have to face the stiff Chargers defense. That's a recipe for disaster. CHARGERS, 20-16
New York Giants at Washington Commanders : The Giants want to impress after being thoroughly drubbed by the Cowboys. However, the Commanders defense will make that tough. COMMANDERS, 23-16
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns : The Browns are flying high after upsetting the Ravens. If they don't get so heady that they disregard the Steelers, they should win again. BROWNS, 20-16
Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars : The Jags are better than their performance against the 49ers, and they will prove that in this game. JAGUARS, 27-17
Sunday late games
New York Jets at Buffalo Bills : The Bills are coming apart. The Jets have a stiff defense, so they make it worse. I expect at least two interceptions to be thrown. The only saving grace for the Bills is that the Jets have such a weak offense. I expect only three points from those two interceptions. Still, this game has upset warnings all over it. BILLS, 20-13
Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams : The Rams are just too inconsistent for me to believe in them. SEAHAWKS, 23-20
Tampa Bay Bucs at San Francisco 49ers : The addition of Chase Young makes the 49ers defense a tough force. Bucs QB Baker Mayfield will be on the run for most of the game. 49ERS, 24-16
Sunday night
Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos : Kurt Cousins is likely coming back, which just makes life harder for the Broncos. VIKINGS, 24-13
Monday Night Football
Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs : Oh my God! This will probably the highlight of the weekend! Both teams are strong, and both offenses move well. The Chiefs like to score quickly, while the Eagles love to churn it out. I see a close game, and that has been the specialty of the Eagles this season. EAGLES, 24-23
