Both teams need to flush disappointing performances on a short week. The Packers won’t want a repeat of their last Thursday night home game, when the Falcons brought out the boo birds.
Packers 27, Panthers 16.
Ravens at Bills
Even with Lamar Jackson on track to play, the Bills had extra time to get rested and ready for the latest date with one of their top rivals in the conference. But this line looks awfully fishy at just -3.
Ravens 24 Bills 23
Titans at Bengals
The Bengals are finding their groove. The Titans will be reeling from the aftermath of the trade that sent one of their best players to the Bears. But the Titans have kept games close lately and can definitely back door this one.
Bengals 24, Titans 17.
Cardinals at Cowboys
Dallas has been way too inconsistent this year, and the Cardinals have played surprisingly well in Dallas. Players who don’t get to visit Jerry World very often tend to rise to the occasion. Dak just 1-10 ATS vs NFC West.
Cardinals 23, Cowboys 20.
Vikings at Lions
The worst 6-0 team in recent years won’t have to worry about being called the worst 7-0 team in NFL history. The Lions know that getting swept by the Vikings in 2025 kept Detroit out of the playoffs. The biggest challenge will be for QB Jared Goff to find his hot receiver before the defenders can get to him. But this is a tough stingy defense that we think can force Turnovers here.
Lions 26, Vikings 24.
Colts at Jaguars
Jacksonville know not to view the Colts as a second straight bye week. The Jags are angry and off a bye. Plus 18-3-1 ATS vs Colts!
Jaguars 28, Colts 12.
Raiders at Jets
It feels like the Jets have been slowly falling apart. That process could accelerate against a Raiders team that desperately wants to end a four-game skid. But Raiders just 10-23-1 ATS travelling East.
Jets 31, Raiders 26.
Browns at Steelers
Thirty years after the Browns became the Ravens, the Browns could be replacing the Ravens as Pittsburgh’s top division rival.
Steelers 16, Browns 13.
Falcons at Buccaneers
The up-and-down Falcons can’t be trusted to stack wins. The Bucs found something against Carolina. (Also, Baker Mayfield would love to stick it to Kevin Stefanski.)
Buccaneers 27, Falcons 20.
Chargers at Rams
The battle for L.A. shouldn’t be much of one. The Rams can’t afford to stumble against a lesser opponent, and the Chargers can’t figure things out offensively.
Rams 30, Chargers 13.
Chiefs at Broncos
The Broncos understand that getting swept by the Chiefs will make it very hard to win the division.
Broncos 17, Chiefs 13.
Patriots at Dolphins
The Pats got extra time to get back on track after losing in Chicago. The Dolphins are simply relieved to have gotten a win in Week 7.
Patriots 31, Dolphins 20.
Eagles at Commanders
If the Commanders can’t win this one, they may not win another game all year.
Commanders 24, Eagles 21.
Bears at Seahawks
It’s the NFC Championship game we almost got to see in January. And it could be a preview of the NFC Championship game to come.
Bears 27, Seahawks 23
