Thursday Night: Los Angeles Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
“I think this Rams vs Seahawks game could be the game of the week.I’m only picking LA because of how bad TB put it to them. As of now, I’m 51% LA & 49% SEA.” – Kenny Tharp
Rams: 22
Seahawks: 12
Arizona Cardinals @ Cincinnati Bengals
Cardinals: 26
Bengals: 8
Buffalo Bills @ Tennessee Titans
“With Josh Allen on concussion protocol, the Bills are back to longtime-backup Matt Barkley under center. The Bills had no points with Barkley at QB last week against the Patriots, and against another tough defense in Tennessee, it’s unlikely that they will get much done offensively. The Titans have shown flashes of success, the latest being a road victory in against the Falcons, but face a formidable Bills defense that limited Tom Brady to just 150 yards. Tennessee wins in an ugly one. Titans 13, Bills 10.” – Cole Banker
Bills: 19
Titans: 15
Chicago Bears @ Oakland Raiders (London)
“Khalil Mack going for revenge, Chase Daniel representing the ZOU, and their playing in London! What more can you ask for?” – Gerald Hopkins
Bears: 32
Raiders: 2
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New Orleans Saints
“The Saints made a statement on Sunday Night Football vs the Cowboys. Although it was a very defensive matchup, New Orleans gave their all to win against a formidable opponent. The boys in black and gold have a lot to prove against Tampa Bay this week who put up 55 on the Rams from the previous week. In the end, I believe the Saints can pull off another big win to make it three in a row.” – Austin Wright
Buccaneers: 5
Saints: 29
Minnesota Vikings @ New York Giants
“SKOL.” – Nash Walker
Vikings: 13
Giants: 21
New York Jets @ Philadelphia Eagles
Jets: 2
Eagles: 32
Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Ravens: 29
Steelers: 5
New England Patriots @ Washington Redskins
Patriots: 34
Redskins: 0
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Carolina Panthers
“The Jaguars and Panthers have the potential to be a great game. If Gardner Minshew and Kyle Allen don’t fall apart then it’ll be a very fun game to watch. However this could end up being the worst game of the week if they ‘play their age.'” – Nick Swanson
“Jaguars and Panthers face off this week in the battle of the backups. Gardner Minshew versus Kyle Allen. Both have shockingly played pretty well but I think “Minshew Mania” this week will find its way to Carolina and the Jags will pull it off.” – Logan Franz
Jaguars: 20
Panthers: 14
Atlanta Falcons @ Houston Texans
Falcons: 9
Texans: 25
Denver Broncos @ Los Angeles Chargers
Broncos: 3
Chargers: 31
Green Bay Packers @ Dallas Cowboys
Packers: 14
Cowboys: 20
Sunday Night: Indianapolis Colts @ Kansas City Chiefs
“The Chiefs had a real battle with the Lions last week before a last minute touchdown won them the game. The Colts had a surprising loss at home on Sunday to the Raiders. I expect the Chiefs to win by a lot at home on a Sunday Night at Arrowhead.” – Ben Krakow
Colts: 0
Chiefs: 34
Monday Night: Cleveland Browns @ San Francisco 49ers
Browns: 14
49ers: 20
