Thursday night
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions : The Lions play their second consecutive Thursday facing yet another divisional opponent. This one could give them some trouble. Green Bay is capable of upsetting our top team, but I'm not sure it will happen. LIONS, 31-27
Sunday early games
Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings : Kirk Cousins returns to Minnesota at an interesting time. The Vikings have been a bit off the past couple of weeks, and the Falcons are looking to redeem themselves after a couple of mediocre performances. Cousins knows the Vikings, but he lacks some of the talent he had. VIKINGS, 24-17
Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles : Despite their record, the Panthers are the still the team with the lowest Power Ranking in the league. The Eagles will roll. EAGLES, 31-16
Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers : The Steelers survied a battle against Baltimore. The Browns won't give them much trouble. STEELERS, 20-10
Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans : Without Trevor Lawrence, the Jags offense is stunted. TITANS, 13-6
Las Vegas Raiders at Tampa Bay Bucs : The Raiders are missing some spark. The Bucs have sputtered recently, too, but they have the players to put together a strong enough game plan to win this one. BUCS, 17-13
New Orleans Saints at New York Giants : Neither team has been performing up to expectations. The Giants have already given up on one quarterback. I think it's turned into a player evaluation year for them. SAINTS, 21-13
New York Jets at Miami Dolphins : Neither NYC team is doing well. The Giants have canned one quarterback, and there is grumbling about the Jets doing the same. DOLPHINS, 24-13
Sunday late games
Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams : The Bills will roll easily. BILLS, 34-20
Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers : Both teams have offenses that are struggling. In a defensive contest, I give a nod to the Bears. BEARS, 17-13
Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals : Seattle is a good team, but they are better at home than on the road. The Cards have had ups and downs this season. It seems time for an "up". CARDINALS, 20-17
Sunday night
Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs : The Chargers have been doing very well this season, but the Chiefs keep finding ways to win. No matter who draws a double-team, someone else steps up. CHIEFS, 24-23
Monday Night Football
Cincinnati Bengals at Dallas Cowboys : Dallas has been a bit disappointing this year, but the Bengals fold under pressure. COWBOYS, 20-17
