PHILADELPHIA -3.5 over Washington
It must be so incredibly painful for Giants fans watching Saquon Barkley absolutely thrive for the Eagles after letting him walk this off-season.
L.A. Rams -4.5 over NEW ENGLAND
The short week, long flight and early start have us thinking twice, but Sean McVay can’t afford to drop another game if he wants to make a run at a playoff spot.

MIAMI -7.5 over Las Vegas
The Raiders have a big rest advantage in this one, coming off a bye while Miami played Monday night. But, the Dolphins defence has actually held its own and won’t be troubled by Gardner Minshew and Co.
CHICAGO +5.5 over Green Bay
The Bears made a change at OC to hopefully get Caleb Williams looking like a No.1 pick. The Packers have had their issues moving the ball and the Bears have been strong at home this season.

DETROIT -14 over Jacksonville
Could this be the end for Doug Pederson? Mac Jones is going to be under pressure all day, so expect a lot of turnovers and a very efficient day for the Detroit offence.
Cleveland +1.5 over NEW ORLEANS
We’re expecting the new coach bump to wear off after Darren Rizzi’s close win last week. The Browns come off their bye and Jameis Winston should be up for a little revenge.
PITTSBURGH +3 over Baltimore
If you back the underdog – of any number – in this matchup going back years, you’re coming out on the winning end around 70% of the time. This matchup is forever meant to be settled by three points or fewer.
Minnesota -6 over TENNESSEE
We’re drooling just thinking about Will Levis’ potential turnovers against the Vikings defence. Tennessee is spiraling and just one of their seven losses have come by fewer than seven points.

So, the Colts are going back to Anthony Richardson after his benching, which you’d guess was punishment for taking a play off. We don’t need to reiterate the Jets’ issues, but the Colts just can’t be trusted either.
SAN FRANCISCO -6.5 over Seattle
Even after a bye week to prepare for their rival, we can’t back the Seahawks without knowing for certain DK Metcalf is playing – especially on the road.

DENVER -2.5 over Atlanta
The Broncos get back from two road losses against two of the NFL’s team best teams and should be fired up to bounce back at home. The Falcons might be caught looking ahead to their bye here.

BUFFALO -2.5 over Kansas City
The Chiefs continue to win despite not looking their best, but that comes to an end here. While the Bills can’t seem to get by K.C. in the playoffs, they should get a measure of revenge at home.
L.A. CHARGERS -1.5 over Cincinnati
A great matchup to cap a solid day of them, the Chargers shouldn’t be underestimated. The Bengals have many backers, but we think the hosts can get it done.
Houston -7.5 over DALLAS
The Cowboys won’t have to worry about the sun getting in anyone’s eyes, but they will have to worry about a star – Nico Collins is set to return and get the Texans offence rolling.
Last week: 8-6
This season: 71-79-2
