Thursday night
Houston Texans at New York Jets : The Texans are hot this season. They don't win big, but they find ways to win. Given the Jets' difficulties this season, this game might have a larger margin of victory than usual. TEXANS, 23-10
Sunday early games
Dallas Cowboys at Atlanta Falcons : After starting the season well, the Boys have fallen. The Falcons have taken some time to stabilize, but they are starting to play better. They have the momentum, so I give them the edge. FALCONS, 20-17
Denver Broncos at Baltimore Ravens : The Ravens stumbled last week against the Browns. That will serve as a wake-up call. While I think the Broncos could beat the Ravens at any other time, they have something to prove this week. RAVENS, 24-23
Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals : Neither team has been consistent this year, but the Bengals are more prone to self-destruct. RAIDERS, 16-13
Los Angeles Chargers at Cleveland Browns : The Browns may have won last week, but this has been a pretty pathetic season for them. The Chargers offense may be struggling, but their defense is solid. CHARGERS, 17-6
Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills : Tua is back, but he is a bit slow. The Bills offense will move fast and rack up too many points for teh Fins to overcome. BILLS, 31-17
New England Patriots at Tennessee Titans : The Titans haven't won much this season, but they haven't been terrible. The Patriots just seem overwhelmed. TITANS, 16-10
New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers : The Saints have had great games and poor games. The Panthers have had nothing but poor games. SAINTS, 27-13
Washington Commanders at New York Giants : The Commanders have perhaps the best offense in the league. COMMANDERS, 34-16
Sunday late games
Chicago Beats at Arizona Cardinals : The Bears nearly had a terrific comeback last week -- they just forgot that you are supposed to BAT DOWN an attempted Hail Mary. They won't need to remember that this week. BEARS, 23-16
Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers : The NFC North is the toughest division in the league this season. The Lions are the top of the bunch, but the Pack play tough at home. This won't be an easy win, but I think the Lions have too many tools. LIONS, 31-24
Jacksonville Jaguars at Philadelphia Eagles : The Jags still haven't fixed their penalty problems. EAGLES, 27-13
Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks : The Rams aren't strong enough to compete with the Seahawks in their home stadium. SEAHAWKS, 16-13
Sunday night
Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings : The Vikings have lost their last two games but that streak ends this week. VIKINGS, 24-17
Monday Night Football
Tampa Bay Bucs at Kansas City Chiefs : The Chiefs may have some key offensive pieces missing, but they still have the talent needed to win their games. CHIEFS, 24-20
