Seattle Seahawks at Cleveland Browns, 1 PM, FOX
Last time out, the Seahawks escaped with a thrilling one-point home win over the Rams. As for the Browns, they were shellacked on the road by the 49ers. The team returns home with many questions, while Seattle has had extra time to prepare. Visitors win and cover.
The Pick: Seattle Seahawks -1.5 (-105)
Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs, 1 PM, CBS
This is a meeting of two clubs which may be the best in the AFC not named the Patriots. The Texans’ offense can go toe to toe with the Chiefs if needed. They have the edge on defense and can keep it close, but it's tough to see Kansas City losing two in a row.
The Pick: Houston Texans +4.5 (-105)
Washington Redskins at Miami Dolphins, 1 PM, FOX
It's not a reach to suggest that this game could decide the top pick in next year's NFL Draft. The Redskins are a team in turmoil, while the Dolphins are downright horrid. Coming off of a bye and playing another troubled team gives Miami a solid shot to at least cover.
The Pick: Miami Dolphins +3.5 (-105)
Philadelphia Eagles at Minnesota Vikings, 1 PM, FOX
While early, this tilt could have playoff reverberations down the road. Both of these clubs seem to have righted the ship after some storm clouds developed in the early part of the year. The matchup is close, but home-field advantage and a strong defense lead the Vikings to victory.
The Pick: Minnesota Vikings -3 (-105)
New Orleans Saints at Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 PM, CBS
The Saints have been rolling along nicely without Drew Brees. The Jaguars have stepped up behind Garner Minshew, but the talented defense has been hit or miss. This one has the makings of a tight affair in which Jacksonville pulls out a close home win.
The Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars -1 (-105)
Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens, 1 PM, FOX
The Bengals are still searching for their first win of the year. While the Ravens are having problems of their own, there's nothing suggesting they'll get it in Baltimore. That said, a line that continues to climb makes the Bengals an attractive opportunity with extra points.
The Pick: Cincinnati Bengals +11.5 (-105)
San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams, 4:05 PM, FOX
As the Rams look for answers after consecutive losses, the 49ers are rolling along with a perfect record. Los Angeles has had extra time to get ready for this one, so a home win should be in the cards. However, San Francisco can keep it close, just like the NFC West race.
The Pick: San Francisco 49ers +3 (-105)
Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals, 4:05 PM, FOX
Five weeks in, the Falcons are already in the midst of a trying season. The Cardinals enter on a high note after nabbing their first win of the year. The hosts are underdogs, but they actually have a good shot at making it two in a row over a Falcons’ team which looks lost.
The Pick: Arizona Cardinals +2.5 (-105)
Tennessee Titans at Denver Broncos, 4:25 PM, CBS
The Broncos also got their first win of the season last week, and they return home to welcome a tough Titans’ team. This could be a hard-hitting affair that comes down to the wire. That hasn't been a good thing for the Broncos at home this season. Tennessee steals one in Denver.
The Pick: Tennessee Titans +2 (-105)
Dallas Cowboys at New York Jets, 4:25 PM, CBS
The Cowboys need answers after two straight losses. Facing the Jets should help. However, the hosts should show some life as Sam Darnold returns. He's not a miracle worker, but New York should respond with its best effort of the year and keep it closer than expected.
The Pick: New York Jets +7 (-105)
