Thursday night
Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants : The Cowboys have slid, but the Giants have never been there this season. Bounce back time for the 'Boys! COWBOYS, 27-13
Sunday early games
Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers : The Bengals are 0-3, but they are resourceful. The Panthers pulled off a shocking upset this week, but they don't have the strength to do it two weeks in a row. BENGALS, 23-20
Denver Broncos at New York Jets : Both teams came alive last week, but the Jets have been building to this point for two years. They have the better platform. JETS, 24-23
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans : Houston faced a dominant opponent last week, but this is still a strong team. TEXANS, 24-10
Los Angeles Rams at Chicago Bears : After three preseason weeks and a shocking Week 1, the Bears defense is no longer surprising opponents. RAMS, 27-13
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers : Being the top ranked team has been the kiss of death the following week, but I think the Vikings have the strength to break that curse. VIKINGS, 27-17
Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Bucs : The Bucs can be tricky at home, and certainly have the potential to win, but the Eagles seem to have gained some consistency in their offense. Their defense needs a bit of work, so this will be a close game. EAGLES, 23-20
Pittsburgh Steelers at Indianapolis Colts : The Steelers have the right balance to make life difficult for any opponent, and the Colts are no exception. STEELERS, 20-10
New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons : The Saints offense will light up the scoreboard. SAINTS, 34-17
Sunday late games
Cleveland Browns at Las Vegas Raiders : The Browns are struggling. RAIDERS, 23-13
Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Chargers : The Chargers defense will keep this a low-scoring game, but the ball-control Chiefs offense will be the edge. CHIEFS, 17-16
New England Patriots at San Francisco 49ers : The 49ers want a strong win to make up for the loss to the Rams last week. Fortunately, they get the Patriots coming to town. 49ERS, 24-16
Washington Commanders at Arizona Cardinals : Both teams are improving well. This game will be a real test of which one has progressed better. Close games like this, I usually favor the home team. CARDINALS, 24-23
Sunday night
Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens : The Ravens won their first game last week, but the phenomenal Bills come to town. I don't think the Ravens have completely righted their ship yet. BILLS, 30-17
Monday Night Football
Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins : Injuries have devastated the Dolphins already. TITANS, 20-10
Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions : The Seahawks are unbeaten, but I like the tenacity of the Lions. Either team could really win this game, but I think the Lions will have a few tricks up their sleeves. LIONS, 27-23
