Thursday night
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks : The Seahawks are potent at home, and the 49ers have been a bit disappointing this season. SEAHAWKS, 23-20
Sunday morning
Jacksonville Jaguars at Chicago Bears in London : The Bears don't usually do well as the featured game, but the Jaguars are struggling. They won their first game last week, but the stiff Bears defeense will prevent a second one. BEARS, 27-13
Sunday early games
Arizona Cardinals at Green Bay Packers : The Cards can have a strong game, but they are few and far between. The Pack are rolling, and will continue to do so until injuries strip their bench. PACK, 23-16
Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles : It has not been a happy season for the Browns. EAGLES, 24-12
Houston Texans at New England Patriots : The Texans have a stiff defense, which will frustrate the Patriots offense. The Pats are still finding themselves, but the Texans will scatter them. TEXANS, 20-6
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans : The Titans took a break last week, but I don't know how much it will help them. COLTS, 24-20
Tampa Bay Bucs at New Orleans Saints : The Bucs are on an upwards swing and the Saints downward. An injury to Derek Carr hurts the Saints, so I have to favor the Bucs here. BUCS, 24-13
Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens : The Commanders have one of the strongest offenses right now, but they face a tough defense in the Ravens. After starting the season with two losses, the Ravens are on a roll, and I think that defense will allow them to triumph. RAVENS, 31-27
Sunday late games
Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers : The Panthers are having an unfortunate season, while the Falcons seem to be building steam. FALCONS, 17-10
Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys : The Lions have shown lots of power this season, and they had an extra week to prepare for this game. The Cowboys have been their own worst enemy, with mistakes and penalties hurting their drives. I think that will continue. LIONS, 27-20
Pittsburgh Steelers at Las Vegas Raiders : The Steelers have been a bit inconsistent, but the Raiders are all over the map. The Raiders run defense is not great, so the Steelers get to get their ground game going, which is what they like. STEELERS, 23-16
Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos : This might be the closest game of the weekend. The Chargers have a strong team, led by their defense. The Broncos are led by their offense, and they design plenty of surprises. I'll give the home team a small advantage. BRONCOS, 20-17
Sunday night
Cincinnati Bengals at New York Giants: Neither team is performing up to expectations. The Giants cannot seem to establish any momentum on the filed, which forces them to work hard on each drive. The Bengals might generate enough momentum to carry them to victory. BENGALS, 24-13
Monday Night Football
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets : These two really battle. The Bills have a bit disappointing over the past couple of games, but facing the Jets will likely perk them up. BILLS, 24-16
