Raiders (3-3) at Browns (5-2)

■ Time: 10 a.m, KVVU-5

■ Line/total: Browns -2 ½ , 49

■ Analysis: The Raiders head to Cleveland this week after getting demolished 45-20 by Tom Brady and the Buccaneers, allowing 454 total yards. The Browns begin life without star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who tore his ACL in a 37-34 win over Cincinnati last week. Browns quarterbac­k Baker Mayfield will look to duplicate his five-touchdownp­ass performanc­e against a Las Vegas defense that yields an average of 284 yards per game.

■ The teams have combined for a 10-2-1 over-under record. … The Raiders are on a 4-8 straight-up skid but are on a 4-1 ATS surge on the road. … The Browns have failed to cover in seven of their last 10 games but are on a 7-1 straight-up run at home.

Browns 28, Raiders 20

Vikings (1-5) at Packers (5-1)

½

Rams (5-2) at Dolphins (3-3)

■ Time: 10 a.m.

■ Line/total: Rams -3 ½½ , 45

■ Analysis: Rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa makes his first start for the Dolphins after their bye week against the Rams’ staunch defense led by Aaron Donald. Los Angeles beat Chicago 24-10 on Monday night, holding the Bears to 49 rushing yards. That’s the second time in three weeks that the Rams have held an opponent to fewer than 50 yards on the ground.

■ By the numbers: Los Angeles has won six of its past eight games overall and is 10-4 ATS in its last 14 road games. … The Dolphins have gone under in four of their past six games but are riding an 11-5 over run in their last 16 games in November.

Pick: Rams 27, Dolphins 21

Steelers (6-0) at Ravens (5-1)

■ Time: 10 a.m.

■ Line/total: Ravens -4 ½½ , 46

■ Analysis: Pittsburgh is the NFL’s only unbeaten team and will try to extend its run against bitter rival Baltimore. The Ravens are coming off their bye week and hope to have RB Mark Ingram back after he injured his ankle in their last game, a 30-28 victory over Philadelph­ia. The Steelers have been getting great offensive production from veteran QB Ben Roethlisbe­rger and his new favorite target in rookie receiver Chase Claypool. This game should come down to the wire as usual.

■ By the numbers: The Steelers have covered five of their last six games overall, but are on a 2-6-1 ATS slide vs. the Ravens. … Pittsburgh is on a 6-13 under streak. … The Ravens are 15-2 straight up in their last 17 games and 12-4-1 ATS. … Baltimore is on a 2-5 under surge.

■ Pick: Steelers 27, Ravens 24
