Patriots  at Bears

Rematch of Super Bowl XX, anyone? What are the chances we see some Refrigerator Perry highlights on Prime Video Thursday night? Anyway, the Patriots have won three in a row and seem to be back on track, but the defense will be challenged in this one more than they have the last two weeks. Caleb Williams returned for the Chicago Bears last week but seemed to be taking it slow. He should be more active in this contest

Steelers  vs. Saints (in Paris)

Oui, oui! As we predicted this spring when we looked at the New Orleans Saints schedule to see who their opponent might be for the first-ever game in France, it just had to be Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. And while the NFL must deal with the headaches of this game being played amid civil unrest in Paris, the timing is pretty good as far as Rodgers being a main attraction. Rodgers has thrown 11 TD passes in his last four games. Considering J.J. McCarthy threw for 243 yards in 11 minutes against the Saints’ defense last week, Rodgers should have a field day here.

49ers at Falcons

How exactly did the San Francisco 49ers let the Commanders get close enough Monday night to have a chance at beating them? Maybe they were just bored. Still, this could be a dangerous spot for the unbeaten 49ers. It’s a short week after the Monday night game, they have to travel cross country to play a 1 p.m. ET game, and wide receiver Mike Evans is dealing with Achilles tendonitis. The Atlanta Falcons have lost two in a row after winning three straight, but they remain a tough out.

Dolphins  at Jets

The 0-5 Miami Dolphins are one of two winless teams in the NFL (with the Chargers). Miami is the only team that ranks in the bottom 10 of the Week 7 Drive Dominance Rankings for both offense and defense. That said, the Dolphins’ schedule so far has been brutal: They’ve played all three remaining undefeated teams, and the overall record of their five opponents is 22-5. On paper, they should at least be competitive with the New York Jets.

Buccaneers  at Panthers

Don’t look now, but Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is playing like a former No. 1 overall pick. He’s thrown 11 TD passes against just two picks and the Panthers have won two straight. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jalon Daniels, meanwhile, is starting to look more like the undrafted rookie he is. After playing well enough in his first two career starts, Daniels threw two picks and was sacked five times in a Week 6 loss to the Steelers.

Bengals  at Ravens

Could it be that the Baltimore Ravens were looking ahead to this game and that’s why they got upset last week by the Browns? Maybe, though it didn’t help that Lamar Jackson was still out. If Jackson returns this week, this game could be a shootout. While the Ravens held Cleveland to 13 points, Joe Burrow and the Bengals will score at least 24 here.

Giants at Texans

Even though the Texans’ defense allowed 31 points in Sunday’s win over the Jaguars in London, this defense is getting right. The Texans have allowed 30 or more three times, but that was to the Jags, Cowboys and Bills, three of the best offenses in football. Don’t be fooled by J.J. McCarthy’s big fourth quarter last week against the Saints. McCarthy gets his first start as a Giant Sunday, and Will Anderson Jr. is going to feast.

Browns  at Titans

The Tennessee Titans are coming off their first win of the year, but the Cleveland Browns have been one of the biggest surprises of the season. While all eyes are on Deshaun Watson, the Browns are winning with defense. They’ve held four opponents to 19 or fewer points, so it’s hard to imagine Cam Ward generating much production against them.

Colts  at Vikings

Speaking of the Titans finally winning a game, that victory over the Indianapolis Colts cost GM Chris Ballard his job. Will the Colts players be extra motivated to play well knowing that more changes could be coming? Maybe, but the undefeated Vikings are tough at home — and coming off the bye, expect Minnesota to be motivated to finally get its offense rolling

Broncos  at Cardinals

The Denver Broncos’ 4-2 record is all the more impressive considering the brutal schedule they’ve had so far. But the Cardinals are coming off a big road win over the Rams last week. That might actually be good news for the Broncos, because it will keep them from looking past this game to next week’s AFC West showdown with the Chiefs.

Packers  at Lions

The Detroit Lions, coming off a bye, score an average 32.8 points per game (second in the NFL). The defense, however, ranks dead last in Drive Dominance. The Packers, who have won three straight, have been inconsistent on offense. Jordan Love might be able to do some damage here, but he’ll have to in order to keep pace with Jared Goff.

Rams  at Raiders

The fact that the Rams (2-4) are the only team with a losing record that’s in the overall top 10 of the Drive Dominance Rankings is a reminder that this team can still be dangerous. They’ll have a chance to prove it here against a Raiders squad that has been tough at home. While the home record is 1-2, those two losses were to the Chiefs and Bills by three points each.

Chiefs  at Seahawks

Kenneth Walker III really is the main character in this game. His presence in Kansas City is the reason the Chiefs have been playing so well this season, and the fact that he’s missing from the Seattle attack is the main reason the defending champs have already lost as many games as they lost all of last season. Of course, another reason is that Sam Darnold has seven interceptions, an issue that won’t be lost on Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

Cowboys  at Eagles

The Jalen Hurts health issue is obviously much more important than any team struggles the Eagles may be facing — but his not being there for the rest of the season is a killer. Tanner McKee looked pretty shaky last week. The Eagles have lost four in a row; the Cowboys have lost two in a row. And strangely enough, the winner of this game could be in good position to win the woeful NFC East.
