SUNDAY'S GAMES
Bears (+4 ½) at Jets: The Bears have lost four straight while scoring an average of 28.8 points per game. They finally find someone Justin Fields can not only outrun but outscore. Bears 24, Jets 23
Buccaneers (-3½) at Browns: Browns by 4
Falcons (+3½) at Commanders: Commanders by 7
Bengals (-2 ½) at Titans: Titans by 6
Broncos (-2 ½) at Panthers: Panthers by 3
Texans (+12 ½) at Dolphins: Dolphins by 14
Ravens (-3½) at Jaguars: Ravens by 6
Raiders (+3 ½) at Seahawks: Seahawks by 7
Chargers (-4½) at Cardinals: Chargers by 7
Rams (+14½) at Chiefs: Chiefs by 10
Saints (+8 ½) at 49ers: 49ers by 7
MONDAY'S GAME
Steelers (+2½) at Colts: Pittsburgh's defense will disrupt Matt Ryan enough to give Kenny Pickett his first road win. Steelers 20, Colts 16
UPSET SPECIAL
Packers (+6 ½) at Eagles: This. Makes. Absolutely. No. Sense. Yes, but neither did the Packers scoring nine points in a loss to Detroit one week and 31 points in a win over the Cowboys the next. The Packers won't win the division, so Vikings fans should be rooting for a Cheesehead win to help the Vikings' pursuit of the NFC's top seed. Packers 34, Eagles 30
Last week's Upset Special: Steelers (+4 ½) 24, Bengals 21. Score: Bengals 37, Steelers 30. Record: 3-8.
