THE CHEAT SHEET
CHARGERS at BEARS
Time: Noon, Fox-32.
Line: Bears by 4. Total: 41. Records (overall/ATS): Chargers 2-5/1-4-2; Bears 3-3/2-4. Outlook: With a broken offense, the Bears are precariously edging toward free fall and can lose to anyone. But Mitch Trubisky should be better in his second week back from a shoulder injury, so ...
Pick: Bears 23, Chargers 21.
RAMS at BENGALS
Time: Noon at Wembley Stadium, London.
Line: Rams by 13. Total: 48. Records (overall/ATS): Rams 4-3/5-2; Bengals 0-7/3-4. Outlook: Rams QB Jared Goff, mired in a three-game slump, got healthy against the Falcons’ 26thranked defense. Now he gets the Bengals’ 31st-ranked defense. Pick: Rams 37, Bengals 17.
JETS at JAGUARS
Time: Noon.
Line: Jaguars by 6. Total: 41. Records (overall/ATS): Jets 1-5/2-4; Jaguars 3-4/4-3. Outlook: Jets and Sam Darnold were miserable against the Patriots and embarrassed when Darnold, on a live mic, was caught saying he was “seeing ghosts.” Are they on tilt or primed to respond? Pick: Jaguars 24, Jets 21.
EAGLES at BILLS
Time: Noon.
Line: Bills by 1½. Total: 43½. Records (overall/ATS): Eagles 3-4/2-5; Bills 5-1/4-2.
Outlook: The newer branches of Andy Reid’s coaching tree — Doug Pederson/Matt Nagy — have each lost two straight and are 6-7. The older branches — Harbaugh/ Rivera/McDermott — are 14-5. Pick: Eagles 19, Bills 17.
BUCCANEERS at TITANS
Time: Noon.
Line: Titans by 2½. Total: 45½. Records (overall/ATS): Buccaneers 2-4/2-4; Titans 3-4/ 2-4-1.
Outlook: Buccaneers are coming off a bye — Bruce Arians was 4-1 after the bye with the Cardinals. Buccaneers have not played a true home game since Week 3.
Pick: Buccaneers 20, Titans 17.
GIANTS at LIONS
Time: Noon.
Line: Lions by 7. Total: 49. Records (overall/ATS): Giants 2-5/2-5; Lions 2-3-1/4-2. Outlook: Matt Patricia was an outstanding DC with the Pats, but his unit has been a disappointment with the Lions. It ranks 31st in yards and 26th in points. But the Lions can handle this.
Pick: Lions 30, Giants 20.
BRONCOS at COLTS
Time: Noon, Ch. 2.
Line: Colts by 5½. Total: 43. Records (overall/ATS): Broncos 2-5/3-4; Colts 4-2/4-1-1. Outlook: Jacoby Brissett reached a new level against the Texans — 326 yards, 4 TDs, 126.7 rating. The Patriots’ three QBs from 2016 are a combined 17-2 — Brady (7-0), Garoppolo (6-0) and Brissett (4-2). Pick: Colts 23, Broncos 16.
CARDINALS at SAINTS
Time: Noon.
Line: Saints by 10½. Total: 48½. Records (overall/ATS): Cardinals 3-3-1/5-2; Saints 6-1/5-2. Outlook: Saints QB Drew Brees expects to start after missing five games with a thumb injury on his throwing hand that was surgically repaired on Sept. 18. Lots of X-factors make this a tough play. Pick: Saints 30, Cardinals 24.
PACKERS at CHIEFS
Time: 7:20 p.m., Ch. 5.
Line: Packers by 4. Total: 47½. Records (overall/ATS): Packers 6-1/5-2; Chiefs 5-2/4-3.
Outlook: The Chiefs’ defense stepped up and shut out the Broncos after Patrick Mahomes left with an injury last week. But Aaron Rodgers — off a 5-TD game — is an entirely different challenge. Pick: Packers 27, Chiefs 17.
DOLPHINS at STEELERS
Time: 7:15 p.m. Monday, ESPN. Line: Steelers by 14. Total: 43. Records (overall/ATS): Dolphins 0-6/4-2; Steelers 2-4/4-2. Outlook: Steelers aren’t the team they were but still know how to beat bad teams. Their two victories are over the 0-7 Bengals and 2-5 Chargers. Mike Tomlin is 8-4 SU/ 5-7 ATS after the bye.
Pick: Steelers 31, Dolphins 13.
