Thursday night
Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears : Even with a backup QB, the Bears should beat the hapless Panthers. BEARS, 24-16
Sunday morning
Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots : The Patriots are struggling, and Bill Belichick;s job is on the line. COLTS, 24-13
Sunday early games
Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens : The Ravens are the most dominant team in the league, because they have the toughest defense. RAVENS, 27-13
Green Bay Packers at Pittsburgh Steelers : Injuries have decimated the Pack, and reliable playmakers are scarse. STEELERS, 17-16
Houston Texans at Cincinnati Bengals : The Bengals have power, and CJ Stroud is still a bit inconsistent. Joe Burrow and company are the better pick, but watch for an upset. BENGALS, 24-20
New Orleans Saints at Minnesota Vikings : The Vikings will likely be using a bakup QB, while the pair of Derek Carr and Taysom Hill are moving the Saints merrily along. SAINTS, 20-17
San Francisco 49ers at Jacksonville Jaguars : Prior to their bye, the 49ers had some offensive problems to work out. If they did, they should win. However, I'm not sure, and the Jags have been a powerhouse since playing in London. JAGUARS, 24-21
Tennessee Titans at Tampa Bay Bucs : Neither team has consistency in their play and performance, but the Bucs seem more capable of righting themselves late in a game. BUCS, 17-16
Sunday late games
Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals : The Cards can't seem to get it together. The Falcons have problems, but they can generate some offense. FALCONS, 20-13
Detroit Lions at Los Angeles Chargers : The Chargers offense is inconsistent, but their defense keeps them afloat. Still, that defense will be tested by the intense Lions offense. LIONS, 27-16
New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys : The Giants have the worst offense in the league. On the other hand, the Cowboys move the ball easily. COWBOYS, 27-10
Washington Commanders at Seattle Seahawks : Seattle suffered a tough loss last week. This team is very good at bouncing back. SEAHAWKS, 20-17
Sunday night
New York Jets at Las Vegas Ragiers : The Raiders are finding some offense, just in time to host a stiff defense. The Jets offense is flat, so can their defense hold? I'm not sure. RAIDERS, 17-10
Monday Night Football
Denver Broncos at Buffalo Bills : The Bills have a great offense, but they also suffer many turnovers. The Broncos don't tend to do much with turnovers, though, so it may not hurt them much in this game. BILLS, 31-13
