NFL POWER RANKINGS:
Ravens, Seahawks in a free fall; Kyler Murray's Cardinals enter top 10
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (-3)
Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ET, FOX/NFL Networkk
The Cardinals won a 37-34 thriller in the first meeting and are coming off an emotional Hail Mary victory against the Bills.Russell Wilson needs to clean up the turnovers after throwing for seven interceptions the last four weeks – a stretch that includes three losses. Seattle gets the rematch, but it's close.
Pick:Seahawks 30, Cardinals 24
Philadelphia Eagles at Cleveland Browns (-3.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET,FOX
The Browns have dealt with ugly weather in their last two games, but the return of Nick Chubb ignited the running game. Chubb and Kareem Hunt works against the Eagles'26th-ranked run defense, even if Carson Wentz —the quarterback Philadelphia traded Cleveland to move up in the 2016 NFL Draft for —makes it interesting.
Pick:Browns 24, Eagles 21
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints (-6.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
Drew Brees'status will be monitored during the week, and this remains a heated NFC South rivalry.The Falcons rank 31stagainst the pass.It's another chance for Alvin Kamara – who has 648 receiving yards this season – to shine. New Orleanswins a tight one.
Pick:Saints 31, Falcons 2
Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Football Team (-1)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET,CBS
Alex Smith – a former No. 1 pick – has back-to-back 300-yard games, but Washington lost by a field goal both times. This will be a showcase for the top two picks in last year's draftwith Joe Burrow and Chase Young. Burrow leads a last-minute victory for Cincinnati.
Pick:Bengals 26, Washington 23
New England Patriots at Houston Texans (-1.5)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET,CBS
Don't look now, but the Patriots have won back-to-back games and could make a second-half AFC playoff push. Cam Newton hasn't thrown an interception in three games, and if that trend continues New England will stay in the hunt.
Pick:Patriots 23, Texans 19
Detroit Lions at Carolina Panthers (-2)
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, FOX
Which trend do you take with the Lions? Detroit is 2-4 ATS as an underdog, but they are 3-2 S/U in one-score games. Teddy Bridgewater's status is uncertain, and we will trust the Lions to get back to .500.
Pick:Lions 27, Panthers 24
Pittsburgh Steelers (-10) at Jacksonville Jaguars
Sunday,1p.m. ET,CBS
The Jaguars are double-digit underdogs for the second straight week, but the difference will be an aggressive Steelers'defense that will force Jake Luton into turnovers. Pittsburgh improves to 10-0 behind Ben Roethlisberger – who continues to spread the wealth to a talented group of receivers.
Pick:Steelers 31, Jaguars 19
Tennessee Titans at Baltimore Ravens (-7)
Sunday,1p.m. ET,CBS
This is the toughest game on the board to pick. The Titans throttled the Ravens in the AFC divisional playoffs last season behind Derrick Henry, and the Ravenshave toanswer after a Sunday Night Football flop against the Patriots. Lamar Jackson delivers here, but it won't be easy.
Pick:Ravens 26, Titans 23
Miami Dolphins (-3) at Denver Broncos
Sunday,4:05p.m. ET, CBS
The Dolphins have the second-longest winning streak in the NFL at five games, and TuaTagovailoais playing efficient, mistake-free football. He gives Broncosgeneral manager John Elway another glimpse at what a true franchise quarterback can do.
Pick:Dolphins 27, Broncos 23
New York Jets at Los Angeles Chargers (-8.5)
Sunday,4:05p.m. ET, CBS
The Chargers are struck in a three-game losing streak, and they have given up 29 points or more in six straight games. If the Jets were going to get that first victory, then this might be the spot. Rookie quarterback Justin Herbert won't let it happen.
Pick:Chargers 31, Jets 23
Green Bay Packers at Indianapolis Colts (-1.5)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET,FOX
The Packers opened as the favorites, but the line shifted to Indianapolis. Philip Riversis 1-3 as a starter against the Packers, but he averages 372 yards per game in those contests. Aaron Rodgers matches that in a fourth-quarter thriller.
Pick:Packers 33, Colts 27
Dallas Cowboys at Minnesota Vikings (-7.5)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET,FOX
The Cowboys had a bye week to figure out the latest quarterback plan, but the bigger issue will be slowing down Dalvin Cook on the road. Minnesota continues to push back into the NFC playoff picture with yet another victory.
Pick:Vikings 29, Cowboys 20
Kansas City Chiefs (-7) at Las Vegas Raiders
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC
The Chiefs were double-digit favorites ahead of the Oct. 10 matchup, and the Raiders sprung a 40-32 upset. Las Vegas is playing like a playoff team, but the Chiefs learned their lesson. Kansas City won't forget about the running game this time around.
Pick:Chiefs 34, Raiders 26
Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3.5)
Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN
The Rams have been favored in their last six games, so it's rare chance to play underdog. Tampa Bay is 5-0when it scores 30 points or more, so Los Angeles'best bet would be if this doesn't turn into a shootout.
