New England Patriots at Chicago Bears (-3) – 5:15pm, Prime Video

A fun QB battle between Drake Maye and Caleb Williams.

Pick – Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers (-3.5) at New Orleans Saints – 6:30am, NFL Network

Kind of a weird time for an NFL game to take place in France with all the rioting going on, but this was scheduled well in advance. Former UW receiver Germie Bernard had a stellar game last week and looks to keep the momentum going.

Pick – Steelers

San Francisco 49ers (-3) at Atlanta Falcons – 10:00am, FOX

Niners keep rolling.

Pick – Niners

Cleveland Browns (-1.5) at Tennessee Titans – 10:00am, CBS

Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings (-6.5) – 10:00am, CBS

Brian Flores’ defense forces Daniel Jones into multiple turnovers.

Pick – Vikings

Miami Dolphins at New York Jets (-4.5) – 10:00am, CBS

Dolphins remain winless.

Pick – Jets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers (-3) – 10:00am, FOX

Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5) at Baltimore Ravens – 10:00am, CBS

Lamar Jackson is questionable.

Pick – Bengals

New York Giants at Houston Texans (-10.5) – 10:00am, FOX

J.J. McCarthy provided a spark for Big Blue last week, can he keep it up? Unfortunately for him Houston has Will Anderson Jr. who leads the NFL with 7.5 sacks.

Pick – Texans

Denver Broncos (-4.5) at Arizona Cardinals – 1:05pm, CBS

It’s a little mystifying. Bo Nix doesn’t have the prettiest stats, but does make plays late to win his team the game. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are coming off a massive upset of the LA Rams.

Pick – Broncos

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (-3) – 1:25pm, FOX

Shootout of the day.

Pick – Packers

Los Angeles Rams (-4.5) at Las Vegas Raiders – 1:25pm, FOX

LA shockingly lost on a last-second FG last week to Arizona and are 2-4, not the start the “super team” was looking for. They still have the talent to make the playoffs, but have to dig themselves out of a major hole. Also, WR Davante Adams will be out for 6-10 weeks.

Pick – Rams

Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks (-2.5) – 5:20pm, NBC

Ken Walker revenge game.

Pick – Chiefs

Dallas Cowboys (-4.5) at Philadelphia Eagles – 5:15pm, ESPN/ABC

Jalen Hurts is out for the rest of the season due to a mishandling of blood clots. The Dallas defense is flat out playing horribly, but Dak and the offense aren’t far behind.

Pick – Cowboys
