Buccaneers (6-3) at Panthers (3-6)

1 p.m. Sunday| Buccaneers by 61⁄ | O/U: 501⁄

Texans (2-6) at Browns (5-3)

1 p.m. Sunday | Browns by 4 | O/U: 451⁄

Washington (2-6) at Lions (3-5)

1 p.m. Sunday | Lions by 3 | O/U: 46

QB Alex Smith still looks rusty. WR Kenny Golladay is dealing with hip issue, but Lions should hang on. Lions 28, Washington 24

Jaguars (1-7) at Packers (6-2)

1 p.m. Sunday | Packers by 131⁄ | O/U: 471⁄

Eagles (3-4-1) at Giants (2-7)

1 p.m. Sunday | Eagles by 4 | O/U: 441⁄

4:05 p.m. Sunday | Dolphins by 11⁄ 2| O/U: 481⁄

Bengals (2-5-1) at Steelers (8-0)

4:25 p.m. Sunday | Steelers by 7 | O/U: 46

Joe Burrow is terrific, and Pittsburgh’s defense can have letdowns. Steelers got scare against Dallas, and that might have been wake-up call. Steelers 27, Bengals 23

Seahawks (6-2) at Rams (5-3)

4:25 p.m. Sunday | Rams by 21⁄ | O/U: 541⁄

2 2 Miami’s defense put on tape how to play the Rams. If you can stop run and pile everything on Jared Goff’s shoulders, Rams are going to struggle. Rams 31, Seahawks 27

49ers (4-5) at Saints (6-2)

4:25 p.m. Sunday | Saints by 10 | O/U: 49

Kyle Shanahan can scheme it up against anybody, but the 49ers are so banged up. Drew Brees still knows how to win games. Saints 28, 49ers 23

Ravens (6-2) at Patriots (3-5)

8:20 p.m. Sunday | Ravens by 7 | O/U: 431⁄

2 Baltimore isn’t playing great, but the Patriots are bad and had problems dispatching a terrible Jets team. Difficult to imagine Cam Newton having a big game. Ravens 31, Patriots 21

Vikings (3-5) at Bears (5-4)

8:15 p.m. Monday | Vikings by 3 | O/U: 43

Not a good matchup for Minnesota, which can run it well but will have a hard time doing so vs. Bears. Chicago’s offense should be able to move the ball. Bears 23, Vikings 21
