MONEYLINE: BILL: -190 | PATRIOT: + 158
Spread: Bill -3.5 | O/U: 43.5
This New England team is confusing. The Patriots started the year on a wild run, one of the worst runs in the NFL since Week 6. Their defensive numbers are ridiculously high, but that’s because they dominated smaller quarterbacks. Faced with a good quarterback, they gave up big moves. The last time they played against Josh Allen, they couldn’t force a bet. Not having Von Miller should help McJones feel more comfortable, but the Bills have more answers on both sides.

MONEYLINE:
spread: Steelers-1 | O/U: 42
Steelers are 2 according to Football Outsiders , -1 for the NFL’s ninth offensive bye since that time. The defense has stabilized. The Falcons are as consistent as any team in football: able to play against almost anyone and unable to get consistent stops on defense. Both teams play late possession games, but Pittsburgh’s quarterback and defense are more reliable here.

MONEYLINE: Packers: -210 | Bear market: +175
Spread: Packers -4.5 | O/U: 42.5
The Packers offense quietly fixed a lot of their problems last month, just in time for the defense to go downhill. Christian Watson brought explosiveness to the team, and the offensive line stabilized. According to PFF, that’s good news for the last dead defense in the EPA since trading Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn. Even with Justin Fields starting, I’m comfortable picking Green Bay.
22-21
Location: Ford Field (Detroit)
Time: 1pm EST | Fox
MONEYLINE: Jaguar: -115 | Lion: -105
spread: Lions +1 | O/U: 51.5
This 4-7 team should be better than their record and have to face each other when they get to the top. An early-season weakness turned into a strength, with Trevor Lawrence throwing super-accurate passes and the Lions’ defense competing week in and week out. Both teams improved to average, with Detroit’s rebuild going further than Jacksonville’s. It’s a toss up, but it’s disrespectful for the Lions to be home underdogs, and I had to fight back.
Location: NRG Stadium (Houston)
Spread: Texans +7 | O/U: 47
Deshaun Watson has been incredibly disappointing not only because of his off-field behavior Cost him nearly two seasons of his career, and for failing to show public remorse after being suspended for 11 games. Unless things change, my favorite team is the one that plays the Browns. How Watson responds to his new polarized status and media scrutiny will inform how his season plays out. On the field Sunday, Watson mostly just had to hand the ball to Nick Chubb to deal with the poor Texans run defense. Don’t be shocked if it comes close, because Watson will be as rusty as he was in his short, miserable preseason.
24-20
Place: U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis)
when: 1 PM ET | CBS
MONEYLINE: Jets +3 | O/U: 44.5
It’s frustrating to watch how soft the Vikings are on defense to stop big moves, even though they don’t stop big moves. As Jets coach Robert Saleh said of Mike White, quarterbacks can make easy throws look easy. Minnesota’s defense has a lot of easy passes, and I don’t think the Vickers offensive line can hold up to the Jets’ pass rush, especially with Christian Darriso out.
Where: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ)WHEN: 1PM ET | FOX 40.5
This pick has been haunting me all week. The Commander’s defense is the best unit in the game and is well equipped to continue Saquon Barkley’s Cold War. The Giants’ defense has quietly been the weakest, but the team should be healthier and an all-out style will create chances. Taylor Heinicke’s luck has been improving this week, but he still ranks last among quarterbacks (minimum 100 pass attempts) in PFF’s turnover-worthy percentage (ahead of Zach Wilson). I feel like I should have run out of luck long ago
27-24
Place: Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia)
Time: 1pm EST | Fox
MONEYLINE: Titans: +180 | Eagles: -220
spread: Titans +4.5 | O/ U: 44.5
I love this game. Probably no better than Tenner Western State’s defense and Philly’s offensive line are tougher up front, and they evened things out in this game. The Eagles’ run offense is also facing its biggest test — as is their porous run defense. I’d love to see how the Titans try to develop a game plan for Jalen Hurts while Ryan Tannehill can move the ball around in Philly’s defense. Judging by the way the two teams are playing right now, it looks like a toss-up. Bring the home team.

46.5
Usability is important. The Dolphins’ offensive line has collapsed this season, as left tackle Tron Armstead is out and his performance Sunday is questionable. Right tackle Austin Jackson is projected to miss the game and the compounding issue of
two bookend absences is enough to knock my pick off here. Otherwise, the Dolphins offense is much more dependable: Mike McDaniel has a better quarterback, better players and looks like coach Kyle Shanahan can’t live without. Even if Armstead doesn’t end up playing, I’d like Miami to stay close.
