That string ends now. BENGALS: 27-18

New Orleans (+3) at San Diego

Despite their injuries, the Chargers have played decently. New Orleans hasn’t. BEST BET: CHARGERS, 37-30

Indianapolis (-2½) vs. Jacksonville at London

Jaguars travel a few thousand miles for their first win. UPSET SPECIAL: JAGUARS, 27-25

Seattle (-1½) at New York Jets

Tempted to make this UPSET SPECIAL, particularly with Russell Wilson’s questionable status. JETS: 20-17

Buffalo (+4½) at New England

Maybe Patriots will come back to the field when Tom Brady returns. PATRIOTS: 20-10

New York Giants (+3½) at Minnesota, Monday night

Maybe Vikings will come back to the field when Adrian Peterson returns. VIKINGS: 23-17

Kansas City (+5½) at Pittsburgh

A ticked-off group of Steelers will squeak through. STEELERS: 27-24

Los Angeles (+10) at Arizona

As will a ticked-off group of Cardinals. CARDINALS: 24-16

Carolina (-3½) at Atlanta

Key early season matchup in NFC South. Can’t see Panthers going 1-3. PANTHERS: 30-28

Oakland (+3) at Baltimore

The old west-to-east travel jinx gets the Raiders. RAVENS: 28-16

Tennessee (+6½) at Houston

Will the Texans show some grit and guts after Foxborough fiasco? TEXANS: 20-17

Detroit (-3) at Chicago

At least the Lions have looked competitive while underachieving. LIONS: 30-13

Denver (-2) at Tampa Bay

If Jameis Winston is off his game again, Denver D will make this ugly quickly. BRONCOS: 20-13

Dallas (-3) at San Francisco

Would like to see Dak Prescott against a stingy defence. Not this week. COWBOYS: 23-16

Cleveland (+9) at Washington

This won’t be so bad for Cleveland. Wait until Browns host Brady and Pats next week, though. REDSKINS: 24-21 This Week: Against spread (6-9-1). Straight up:(7-9) Season Totals: Against spread (2125-2). Straight up: (29-19) Best Bet: 1-2 against spread, 2-1 straight up. Upset special: 1-2 against spread, 1-2 straight up.
